The camera and speakers are fully exposed and work perfectly as well as the power port is accessible or can seal closed when not being charged.Īll in all, the price point is very good too for the case. The same with the power button, so this to me was a win/win as well. The rubber buttons on the back of the case actually also made it easier to use the power and volume buttons, the volume buttons on the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 were always small and really difficult to press the right volume button for me, the case makes those buttons larger and easier to feel and press. In testing the Otterbox Defender Case for the Kindle Fire 8.9 HD one of the things I noticed was that my fingers were more responsive on the screen, sometimes with the raw exposed screen I would have to swipe 2 or 3 times or slow down my swipes (something about my fingers not always tracking) but with the added built in screen protector my fingers were tracking better on the Kindle Fire HD screen, now I didn’t know if this is because it helped having that extra layer cushion my fingers or not but this was a welcome change. This case is amazingly padded and provides ample protection for the tablet should it get knocked off a table and fall to the floor.

Now the shell case generally isn’t used while you are actively using the device in your hands, it is more for transporting the device so that the screen is fully protected from any potential objects damaging it and protecting it from drops. It is 3 components, a back which you set your Kindle Fire HDX into, then it has the screen front so that it completely encloses the Kindle Fire HDX and then you have the stand/shell case. The Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 Defender case is at least as good as any other Otterbox case I have ever used. I had an iPhone 5S Defender case that I also loved, mostly because of protection and horizontal belt clip which was the most important feature to me. I have always been a fan of the Otterbox Defender line of cases ever since my first one on the iPhone 4S and this was before we started working with Otterbox as a partner back when I purchased the cases myself.

Combine this with a hard shell case that goes over the screen so that it gives complete protection while travelling, the hard shell cover also acts as the stand for it when you want to use the tablet. This case provides thick rubber bumper protection for your Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 as well as has a built in screen protector that goes over the screen. My fans I have found my favorite Kindle Fire HDX 8.9″ case to date and this is the Otterbox Kindle Fire HDX 8.9″ Defender case.
