Will cover prevent use of the front-facing camera? Seems to be a problem with all covers/cases that are not the original Origami.

you can use the front facing camera there is a spot cut out for it I love this case a little heavy with the keyboard attached but is very well made the keyboard is attached magnetically to the one flap and can be removed easily if you don't need it but also stays well in place and the kindle wont move around at all due to it being in a secure inclosure with a Velcro flap that folds under the kindle and is also held into place by the fold of the case flap when closed all attachment holes line up well for the headset on off buttons charging port and all camera would definitely purchase again but believe this one will probably outlast my kindle. don't use the keyboard much so don't know how long the battery will last in terms of years but works fine and haven't had trouble with the Bluetooth connecting or anything else .

No, the back side of the skin is open so the LCD cover will open and rotate. This item is made of rubber. My only complaint with it is that with the cover on, unless you have all the function buttons memorized, it is almost impossible to see the name of the function button since everything is black. Also when shooting the shutter button covered and it is harder to just press it halfway to achieve focus without taking the shot before focus is achieved. I am only going to use the item for travel protection, but will remove it when actually shooting in the field.

I received this Fosmon case on 12/16/2013 and the buttons ARE covered. Seems like an unfortunate manufacturing change. Unfortunate from my perspective, since I hate TPU cases that cover the buttons and would have never ordered this case if I knew the buttons would be covered. UPDATE: I honestly can't remember if the pictures showed the buttons being covered or cut out when I originally ordered this case, but you can clearly see now that they cover the case. The pictures displaying right now show the covered buttons and correspond precisely to the case that I received.

I don't have any experience with the origami case. I did order the Llamamia Kindle Fire Hd 7" Accessories Bundle and was very disappointed. The leather case cover does not fit the new Kindle Fire HD 7" the speaker holes, power on button etc. do not line up.

no, it covers both the side on/off and the quick camera buttons. and it leaves the charge port and camera button open. If you look at the ones with colors, the back triangular "inside" piece is hard, and removable.And is like a photo frame piece,that pulls out to stand up on it's side or lengthwise to view on a table without holding. impresive for what I paid...less than $5 shipped!

The one I got just recently (2/14) has the glass glued/caulked onto the front cover itself, but if the cover is removed, there's nothing holding the top cover in place. It's best for me to leave everything sealed. I had an earlier camera setup I put together with with the back cover piece removed temporarily to run my cables. The damn birds tried building a nest inside and made a mess of my stuff.

I would not get this case if the camera is located on the back of the tablet because case will cover camera up. I actually just looked tablet up and the camera is rear facing so no I would try and find another one.

I bought mine a few months ago and I always keep it in the cover and I never had an issue. I hope that was helpful.

No, but there are a lot of apps that you can download that use the proximity sensor to do such a thing. I use EveryCover, but they're pretty much all the same, since they use the same sensor. The only issue being you may accidentally lock and unlock your phone hovering your finger above it (it's the hole just the left of your front facing camera)

Maria - Yes, you CAN use the camera with this case since the back cover has a camera hole. However, if you want to use the camera while the front cover is folded tight to the back cover, you cannot use the camera, since the FRONT cover will cover the camera lens. When taking a picture in Portrait mode, I keep the front cover at a 90 degree angle to help keep the iPad steady. When taking a picture in Landscape mode, I just let the cover hang to the bottom. P.S. I love this case because of the solid protection, the nice "grip" when holding the case, and the many standing positions provided. Good Luck!

Oops! I have a folio for my phone as well. I haven't had any problems with the case for my kindle. It works great.

Hi yes, the cover uses magnets to keep the cover closed and turn the pad on when you open it. I've never noticed any interference. Works like a champ. I like this cover a lot more than the stock origami cover Amazon wants to match up with the Kindle Fire HDX. The origami cover felt weird to open, like it was peeling up in pieces. This cover looks and feels great, and gets a lot of positive comments. A super value at a third the cost of the origami cover.

Unfortunately no! But when I am out to take pictures I only use the other part of the case. And when the camera is at home it doesn't need the adapter, so it can be entirely protected. No big deal for me.

I do understand the question, and I had considered cutting another hole in the cover for that very reason. But, rather than possibly screwing up the cover I resigned myself to having to remover the tablet from the cover in order to take decent pictures.

The camera is exposed and it doesn't protect the edge of the camera. I tend to lay my phone down a lot facing up. There is a little scuff mark on my camera bezel where it touches down. This doesn't impact the function of the camera, but could be a little higher to protect that edge.

Hi Dave; I have the N7 with just the front facing camera. Yes, I can take photos with my Suggest cover in place. I have been very satisfied with both the N7 & the Snugg. Cheers!

Yes, the front facing camera is also covered by the protector. I haven't notice it having any trouble focusing, but I only use it once or twice a week.
