Just like any portable consumer technology these days whether it be the latest smart phone, laptop or tablet, it needs a good case for protection (and/or looks). The Kindle fire is no exception. So here is a run down of our top 10 picks for Kindle Fire cases.
10. If you don’t travel much and your Kindle Fire rarely leaves the house then you could take a minimalist approach and use a simple screen protector. The Marware Clear Screen Protector comes is a two pack and offers simple screen protection for less that $8.
9. The Decalgirl Kindle Fire Skin also fits into that minimalist approach with just a little bit more protection and flare. The Decalgirl kit includes both front and back decal protection and comes in a large assortment of different designs. It won’t protect your Fire against a drop, but it’ll save you some of those minor scratch problems.
8. Traveling with the Kindle requires a little more protection. The Timbuk2 Plush Sleeve has a memory foam lining for that extra protection. Currently comes in many different colors to suit anyones taste and has a positive five star review from Amazon customers.
7. The BUILT Slim Neoprene Sleeve Case is an extremely simple sleeve style case that offers great protection. It’s also has a plush interior to protect the screen and is machine washable. I suppose thats a bonus if you ever get a mark on the case exterior.
6. If you’re looking for something a little more rugged, the Gumdrop Cases Drop Tech Series case would be a great choice. It just looks built to throw around and take out in the truck. With protection for the front. back and extra durable corner protection, this looks like the option if you want to take your Kindle off-road!
5. Watching movies on the Kindle Fire can be a great experience. That experience can be enhanced if the Fire has an easy way to stand at a good viewing angle. That’s where the Lightweight MicroShell Folio Cover by Marware fits the requirements. Protection front and back, and elastic strap to hold the cover in place and a great design to allow for hands free movie watching.
4. The Genuine Leather Cover by Marware has the exact same design as the Microshell Folio Cover above, but instead of a plush cover has a genuine leather cover for a $15 premium. Everything is better with leather right? Comes in a selection of colors, but I think the green one pictured is pretty hot.
3. The Thule TKFS-101 Kindle Fire Semi-Rigid Sleeve Case has MANLY written all over it. It just screams rough and rugged. While THULE are known for their travel accessories (roof rack systems and cargo boxes) they apparently also made a great Kindle Fire case.
2. I love the mix of old and new. Mix modern technology with the class and elegance of something that looks old and worn. That’s what the Verso Prologue Cover does better than any Kindle Fire case I have seen to date. With the looks of a classic old book and modern protection this case is bound to get noticed. What’s old is new again!
1. Our top pick at Teckh.com is the DODOcase. Originally designed as an iPad case they started producing the Kindle Fire case as soon as the device was released. All DODOcases are hand crafted by artisan book binders in San Francisco CA. It includes a one piece eco friendly bamboo tray that hold the Fire in place while the exterior gives the impression of a hard bound book. The design is very reminiscent of a Moleskine notebook. It looks awesome, it’s well made and a great way to protect your Kindle Fire investment.
The DODOcase is our top pick. It’s the one that I personally own and highly recommend.
