Is this for the third generation? I bought Buffalo brand for the Kindle Fire HDX 7", and they didn't fit! I want to get it right this time.

It's for the latest kindle out. Is that called 3rd generation? I'm not good at that. They are awful, though. I couldn't get them to stick and the anti-glare is rough and dry looking. I just didn't like them. Had to throw 2 or 3 away. The other will get there, too, I'm afraid. Impossible to apply and not great.

I bought them for a brand new Kindle Fire HDX 7" and had no problems with them. Went on easy and looks good.

I'm sorry, but I bought it for kindle Fire HD, unfortunately I had to return it after it did not work the third time I tried to use it. Return was easy.

Mine is the Kindle Fire HDX 7, received in Jan 2014, so not sure if same/different as it was made in 2013. If there is no newer edition, then yes, this case works wonderfully

I have the Kindle Fire HD in 7" and it fits perfectly. It slides right into the inside sleeve with no problems. I did read the product information and it is misleading....it is made for the HD 7" but it also states not for the HD 7". I could only assume they mean the HD 7" made in or after October 2013 ???? I got my Kindle in September and it works for mine. Hope this helps.

Good question. I had the same issue, worried about fit. I think it very clearly says NOT for Fire HD.

I have read where it does fit the Kindle Fire HD (previous generation) and then I've read where it doesn't fit so I'm as confused as you must be but I would suggest ordering it to see how it fits and it's easy to return if it doesn't. I love this cover and have bought 3 spares.

I don't this this one will fit, but I think Gumdrop makes one for the newer Kindle Fires. And it should hold up. This one has been thrown down stairs and it's still working :)

That's the one I have. I just have the original Kindle Fire. Its not HD or the bigger one. It works great.

Hmmm...my Kindle Fire HDX 8.9", though pretty tight, fits fine. There was a flap over piece I had to pull out. Maybe that is the problem. Otherwise not sure unless there is a different size involved.

Robert I am sure that this case will work for you if you have a Fire HDX 8.9, and it certainly sounds as though you do. My Kindle that I owned ,actually measured the same as yours and it was a Fire HDX 8.9. I had the same concern when I ordered my cover but went with it anyway since it said it was for the HDX 8.9 and was happy that I did. I believe this is just another great feature of Amazon's Kindle. They tell you the actual screen size where most measure the entire size of the Tablet, as my new one does. Thus making it sound as though you are getting a larger screen than you actually are, but Kindle does not mislead in that way. The folks at Verizon could not believe that my Kindle was that much larger than the one that they sold me. They tried to convince me that theirs was not much smaller until I took my pack of screen protectors in and did an actual measure against theirs. I am certain that this case will work for you, fit perfectly, and that you will be well pleased. It is a well made product and sits up well on the horizontal side but does not on the vertical. It also protects the kindle well. I dropped mine and panicked, but no need for it was in the case and was just fine. Please let me know if you order this and it works for you. I am certain that it will. Hope this helps you. Sandy

I too figured that out when I was wrapping Christmas gifts! I'm sure the description stated that they were for Kindle Fire HD 7". I had ordered several that are now sitting in the bottom of the box. I went to Shopko and got exactly what I wanted that fit! Don't order these!

There appear to be size selections based on the year you bought your kindle. I would start there. I bought this specifically for the 1st generation kindle fire.

The 3rd Gen is a VERY different design than the Kindle Fire, so I highly doubt it would fit.

no it is too big for the kindle. By just a bit.. I just tried to put one on my husbands new 3rd gen kindle yesterday... kinda spooky you ask me this ... I am glancing around the room for the camera hahahaha

Hello- It fits perfectly for the Kindle Fire HD which I believe is smaller than the HDX. the only thing I do is the actual Kindle is upside down because of where the ports are for charging battery which I can technically just remove from the case. I love the case though- lightweight and very conducive to holding comfortably.

This is for the new Kindle Fire HD which I believe was only released in the fall of 2013.Try this link for more info:http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/?nodeId=200783660&_encoding=UTF8&ref;=help_forum_kindle_forum
