Still confused by info. &amp; Q &amp; A's. Will or Not this case work with the Fire HDX 8.9 4th Gen. Does it have Auto Off/On features when Close/Open cover?

This case fits my Fire HDX 8.9 perfectly. I've tried 3 other cases, but this is the only one that all the features work. Magnetic lid, off/on , etc

I'm not exactly sure of the technicalities, but when you close the cover it's supposed to turn off the screen and put the kindle to sleep to save battery life. And then when you open it back up, it supposed to turn the screen back on. Mine doesn't work either. They definitely shouldn't be advertising as "auto sleep/wake" if it actually doesn't do it.

No, it does not (at least it does not for mine). That said, I'd still recommend it. I don't mind actually turning it on/off and otherwise the case is fantastic. Seems to get better with wear.

Sorry to hear about that . I would return the case to Amazon. I have the same case and auto on/off feature works just fine. When I have my kindle in the easel or standard book position, it doesnt shut down. I think you have a misaligned magnet.

I bought my fire hdx 8.9 in Feb. of this year so I believe mine is a 2013 model. The Skinomi Techskin fit perfect on it and this is my 3rd screen protector and believe it to be the best one so far.

Yes! I have the 8.9 inch HDX. It fits perfectly! Does not cover the speakers. Does not get hot. Have easy access to all buttons. But there is one problem....it didn't cover the camera but the kindle senses that there is a cover and keeps requiring me to shift the kindle up within the case! ! ! But taking pictures and videos are not a problem

I honestly don't know. I own a kindle fire, not HD as well (not sure of the generation).you could always get the cover and return it, if it doesn't suit you. Caution though if you are not a prime member, there may be shipping charges.

The on/off feature works great with my Fire HDX but mine is 3rd Gen. Don't know if any difference with Gen. 4.

It only works when the kindle is in the case a certain way. It takes you to the lock screen when it opens and shuts the screen off when closed. Once I got the kindle in the case the right way, this function has worked perfectly.

Yes, I have caught one time where when I picked up the case it turned on inside the case, however it has always shut off when I close it. I also have a timer to turn my screen off after a minute or so, which I would think help if it didn't turn off.

I'm having the same problem with the one I just bought. The auto-shutoff function kicks in when magnets in the case align with sensors on the iPad; I'm wondering if the ones in our cases are misaligned or just too weak to trip the sensor. I found that if I hold the case tight against the iPad and wiggle it around a bit I can get it to trip occasionally. There is a setting under "General" to turn the feature on and off, but it won't even show unless you've successfully tripped the cover sensors at least once.I'd debating whether it's worth exchanging the case for a new one.

I don't know if it will work with the Fire HDX 8.9, but it does work fine with my Fire HDX 7.

Hi I have the kindle 8.9" HDX and it fits fine for that model. I guess if you look at the specs for both of them it might fit.

The sleep/wake function works just fine with my 2013 Kindle Fire HDX. I think that it is based on a magnet embedded in the cover

I have this case and it seems to work just fine. Make sure the Kindle Fire HD is inserted in the case properly with the camera facing outward of the notch in the case on the front on the side. The sleep function should then work correctly when the case is opened or closed.

No help I need an answer this question. The case I bought covers the Kindle, but you have to take it out of the case to turn it on and off. Which one can I buy that will allow me to turn it on and off?????

Sara, I just ran a test and it will work and my fire fit perfectly. I bought one for my little girls 7" tablet because sheis handicapped and tends to drop things. It is not a particularly high quality product, but it is functional and it should work with your HD or HDX.
