Just bought the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 and am shopping for a case. I keep reading "for 2013 release". Is the HDX the 2013 version?

I actually bought the HD and the case for the HD, so I couldn't really say, but the picture looks like the same case, generally, so I'd still recommend it. Since there was no 2012 HDX, but there was a 2012 HD, I'm guessing the 2013 reference is to the HD.

the case I bought will only fit a kindle fire HD 7". look at the back of yours and see where the on/off buttons are located, then look at the case and see if it has the right openings. this way you don't have to take the kindle out of the case to turn it on.

I asked reviewers the same question and it was resolved that 2013 was the HDX release year. Buy one today and it would be the 2013 release, not a prior year release. I bought my HDX 7" in April and it fit the Pro Case for the 7" quite nicely.

KayDee, The rooCase will work with all Kindle fire versions except the 2013 HDX version. For more tips and uses of your fire go to Google and put in " Love My Fire, Rachel Bruner ", she has an email subscription with a bunch of tips and app suggestions.

It fits the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 very well. I had some white vinyl letters that I put on the outside of the case so I could easily see the case itself when it is in my bag. This is just what I wanted for my Kindle Fire.

I agree with you. It is a misleading listing. Is there a Protection Plan for the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" Wi-Fi?

Does the Kindle Fire 8.9 fit all the other covers on the market? If not, then this Deft Devicewear is likely not to either. Remember, it is primarily a cover with dimensions of all other KindleFire covers, but with the added feature of being able to prop.So, if you cannot fit the regular KindleFire covers, then this would likely not fit your 8.9 KindleFire either.I would suspect that it would since the case is propping the Kindle & also is a cover.Hope this helps.

Info states it fits 2012 fire model. The one I ordered for my fireHDX did fit well in the case for the HDX but the 3 HDX cases I rec"d (2 iBlason & one sup case) were defective--ie to align in case the kindle was on the left side of the case, open from left to right.

The specs look very similar but I notice the size differences below, which may be slightly off. It's probably so minute it won't matter, but best to wait until Skinomi confirms a Fire HDX version Kindle Fire HDX: 9.1" x 6.2" x 0.31" (231 mm x 158 mm x 7.8 mm) Fire HDX: 9.1" x 6.2" x 0.3" (231 mm x 158 mm x 7.8 mm)

It works great with my Kindle Fire HD - 7 inch....Not sure about the specs of the HDX - 7 inch and if everything is positioned the same as the HD (On button and volume controls). If they are positioned the same, I would say that this case would still work great. Wish I could say for sure. It's definitely a great case & an awesome deal--I've really enjoyed mine for a while now.

Yes, this cover fits the 2012 8.9 inch Kindle Fire, and to the best of my knowledge, it fits the 2013 8.9 inch Kindle Fire HDX also.

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.

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

If you bought your kindle fire HD after October 2013 and did not buy the previous generation then this case will not fit. The newest kindle fire HD has the charger port on the opposite side from a speaker. It is very streamlined with a micro usb port, a power button, a speaker port and a plus and a minus button. That is it. This case is made for Kindle Fire HD's produced prior to October 2013 and has a large flap/opening on one long side and then two round windows and a circular port opening on the other long side. It has a speaker opening, three buttons and a flap on the bottom short side and a speaker opening on the top short side. I know that is not that clear but hopefully it gives you enough information to make a decision.

The models of tablet are different. 2012 is known as the previous generation. It has 2 speakers on the back and the on/off switch is on the side (kindle fire hd 7). In the 2013 version the on/off switch is a button on the back of the device, it also do not have a camera. son in this case, the cases are built differently to accommodate the speakers mainly

I assume you don't have the original box that your kindle came with. The 2013 model is the new kindle fire HD. Not sure if there is a way you can check the specs of your kindle to check which generation you have. I would suggest to contact Amazon kindle tech support for further assistance.

This case will not fit the 8.9, it is for the regular Kindle Fire, not the HD or the 8.9

Yes it does fit the 8.9 HD model, but like the previous answer you will need to have it open to charge. I have the new 8.9 hdx cover is not designed for it.

Unfortunately I have the 8.9 HD but I checked dimensions for you real quick: the case Product Dimensions are: 9.4 x 6.5 x 0.4 inches and the 8.9 HDX dimensions are 9.1" X 6.2" X 0.3". Hope this helps.
