Finally, a case that holds the kindle in place without falling!!! I bought other cases that had to be returned. This is expensive, yes. BUT, it does what it says, it’s got great protection, holds up your 8.9 in. kindle FIRMLY, no worries! Different positions, folds up nicely, THANK YOU!

As you read this review, please keep in mind that i like and am keeping the product. So, any criticisms are about improving the product.
Once i had my Kindle installed, the first thing i noticed was that the reflection produced by the OtterBox was visibly greater than that of the Kindle alone. This is especially pronounced in bright light, which the Kindle itself handled fairly well. For the present i will keep it as is and at some point i will determine if i should remove the OtterBox screen and replace it with a screen protector that attaches directly to the Kindle screen. I’ve already done this with my iPhone OtterBox Defender and the result is very useable. Yes, i lose their warranty, but product usefulness is important to me, and, given that the OtterBox screen protector does not cover the camera hole anyway i don’t think i will lose that much protection should i decide to remove the OtterBox screen and replace it with a directly connected screen protecter. I wish they had offered a non-reflective screen protector, but given that there is an air gap between the OtterBox screen and the Kindle screen it is not clear how much this would have helped.
At the time i purchased the OtterBox there was no video and the only instructions came printed with the box. I found the installation instructions to be near useless, hence the 4 stars. Once i figured it out for myself, and tech support was unable to help because they had never seen the product, it was a straightforward process of removing the outer silicon skin with a non-sharp butter knife and using the knife on the 4, not 2 as in the directions, locking pins.
The weight of the OtterBox, as with all OtterBox Defender series is a bit on the heavy side, but i’m glad of the protection and i guess i can use the exercise.
So, now that i have been using it for a while, i am happy with the result, but it took some work to get it there.

Let me first start off by saying that i have been useing otterbox poducts for about 5 or 6 years now starting out with a blackberry case and from their it has all been a great relationship.I stumbled upon a defender case cause i had broke 3 blackberries at work.I am warehouse operations manager and working in a warehouse is tuff on my electronics.What originally grabbed me to otterbox was their warranty program LIFETIME which is awesome.Its the best in the business.I have called and have been killed with kindness everytime.Since that blackberry case otterbox has blown up and is now found in every best buy and radioshack.As for me when i buy electronics now i always call otter and ask if they are considering that certain probuct im eyeing for a case…They are pricy but their is no other protection out their that will save your device from that accidental drop or fall..BUY AN OTTERBOX AND SEE WHY IM A LIFETIME CUSTOMER….ONCE YOU GO OTTER THEIR IS NO TURNING BACK
