Since there seems to be a lot of interest in the Roo cover, I thought I would put links to all three colors in the same post. The image on also shows how it will work as a stand. Red version:  Magenta version:  Black version:  Currently $14.98 Betsy |

I am currently typing on an Iconia tablet which is propped in its Red Roo case, and I didnt realise how good easel cases were until I got this one (using an ipad). So this case for the Fire sounds like a great deal but do be prepared for the extra bulk it adds to the tablet.

You want a stand. Think about all the times you use your laptop open on your lap, and then imagine you had to be holding your laptop up the entire time, and you'll see why you need a stand case. It isnt like a kindle, i've owned a few tablet now, and the one universal thing about them is that you want to touch the screen with two hands, not one. Typing, gaming, etc.
I have a Nook Color - I have yet to want or need a stand because of its size, and it's a bit bigger than the Fire. I "thumb type" on it like I do on my iPhone. If I do need a stand (for my iPad) I just prop it up with something handy, or my cover can act as a stand but it doesn't have extra bulk to it, it's incredibly thin. Just saying not everyone "wants" a stand.  I've got a K1 Oberon cover I might use for my Fire. I also ordered one of the Octovo K3 covers that are marked way down when you buy with the light, and since it looks like the corner straps are elastic, I might use that for the Fire as well, if the straps aren't too tight. Cover for the Fire, light for my K3, all for $35. Sweet!  |

Pushka, thank you for the first-hand info on the Roo case! I did wonder if there would be extra bulk before ordering so I'm glad you mentioned it. When you can't actualy see something in person before ordering, it's nice to know your mental image is close to acurrate. I really hate it when I order something online and when it arrives, it not anything like I pictured. |

You are welcome ellesue. Back again using the Iconia in its roo case, with the easel stand propping it up while I type in bed on a Sunday morning.  Basically the case has two extra layers, to make the easel. I have now ordered one for the fire which is smaller than the Iconia. Will see how it goes but the price was excellent. |

Great! That's what I'm going to order...an Oberon Large Sleeve for my Kindle Fire.
I ordered the Oberon large sleeve for my Kindle Fire and it arrived yesterday. It is the "Tree of Life" in the saddle color. It fits my Kindle 3g just fine with a bit of space all around so I know it will fit the Fire just fine. I'm going to use the Gardenour Leather one I received earlier for my Kindle 3g. |

FWIW, I have one of the roo cases for my Xoom. It works fine. . . .adds some bulk. . .but good for traveling. Note that the red is "RED!". Like fire engine red. Not like cherry red or shaded to purple. . .also not shaded to orange. Just. RED.

I am having a chuckle at Red! I think it is red too, but my husband and son looked at it and asked why did I get a Pink cover because I am not really a Pink girl when it comes to accessories. They aren't colour blind, but they think it looks pink! And they dont normally comment on stuff I buy like this. Weird hey! But for us girls, Ann is right, it is RED! I use a thin elastic hair band in bright green to keep it shut but it probably doesn't need it. |

Here are some pictures: Sliding an Iconia (10") in. The flap that secures it with velcro is a good fit  Showing that velcro tab tucked snuggly in  Ok, the cat is now awake.  And he loves a tunnel (aka easel)   And the nice brand stamp.  |

Joe V posted a cover thatI love that can be made right now so that is what I am leaning towards. I can choose the color and it would fold back. One of the new Oberon Designs is a posibilility too so anxiously waiting to see the design and color options before deciding. I tought I read there was a delay in releasing the pre-order photos of these. I know I want that Joe V cover but whether I get it for my new Fire or for the KK (mine or hubbies) is the decision right now. And then there is still the Fortte option but they may not have their covers out as soon so that might be a 2nd cover if I like their design. While I have time to wait I am getting anxious for my K-Fire and a nice cover for it. |

Like the Marware case but just wish it came in other colors. Like Red or green. I think red would be a particularly good idea since it is the color of Fire (course there is also blue flames)

I preordered an Oberon (Celtic Hounds, in wine) after agonizing over whether I wanted that design or the new Falling Leaves, in green. Can't wait to get it! The third/fourth weeks of November will be like early Christmas at my place: first the Fire will arrive; then the Oberon; then the screen protectors ... then whatever else I might decide to order between now and then. :-)

I think that bottom flap would get very annoying. But good to be able to zip it all up.

I ordered the same Marware case as the OP except in pink.
I like the look of the Roo case, too, but really dislike the leather border that extends about an inch or so on to the front of the Fire.
I'm hoping that Vaja comes out with a nice looking cover. I've loved the purple one I have for my iPad.

I've always prefered sleeves to cases - I just never could get used to reading with the case. I really like the Waterfield sleeves ( www.sfbags.com). I've already preordered a sleeve for my KTouch and a smart case for my Fire.   |
