Just make sure you read the product description all the way through. It will tell you what Kindle's will fitI bought the Kindle HDX 7, so I searched for a case that would fit mine.

I believe either case would fit the HD 7 but not the HDX 7; however I am not familiar with the HD 7 and where the buttons are placed on the back. The case cutouts on the back do not match the HDX 7 so I can only assume they do match the HD 7. Either way Amazon will give you a full refund of the price and return shipping if it does not fit.

You'll need to check the (height, width, depth) specs between the 2013 and the 2014 edition. My case for the 2013 edition is a good snug fit, but you don't want any extra space for the tablet to slip around. This design really needs that snug fit (but not so tight that you can't take it out of the case). If you can wait, wait for Samsung to either state that it fits, or that a new case is needed.

This DOES fit the 7" HD. My wife has the 8 gb 7" HD nook, and this is her cover. the 'nook tablet' mentioned is a particular older model called 'nook tablet', it was a nook color with a better browser and a little more memory. So yes, this is a fine case for your HD. My wife loves it.

No. This skin fits the Second Generation Kindle Fire HD 7" EXACTLY which has the screen dimension of 7.52" x 5.04". The first generations dimensions are slightly larger at 7.60" x 5.39".

I have a 2012 8 inch HD Kindle Fire, and this case fits very nicely. Just make sure the measurements are exact.

The Nexus 7 has had 2 releases. The first was released in July 2012. The 2nd generation was released more recently on July 26, 2013. I have a 2012 Nexus 7 tablet, and the case fits very nicely. All of the 2012 models of the Nexus 7 had the same dimensions to the best of my knowledge. My guess is that the 2nd generation versions all have the same dimensions as well. I believe it will fit fine, but does not have a hole for the back-facing camera that was added to the 2013 2nd generation model.

the 1st generation 2012 has the on/off & volume buttons on the edge & has a camera. The 2013 2nd generation has both buttons on the back & doesn't have a camera. the 2013 Kindle HDX is another version altogether & has the mayday button & does have a camera.

Katelyn, I purchased my Fire HD 7 early in 2013. It does have a camera, but I don't know if it is technically a 2012 or a 2013 version. But the keyboard works well with it. I hope that is some help. Bert

You can go into your kindle under device...about and get the serial number then search for kindle fire hd serial#..... it will bring up the appropriate generation. There is a size difference!! The first gen was bigger 7.6 x 5.4 x .4 and the second was 7.5 x 5.0 x .4 I believe. But type the serial number in either Amazon search or Google search like I said and it'll tell you.

I thought the new tablet was going to be 8 inches in 2014. The 2013 version is identical and will fit.

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

I can only answer for the 2012. I'd see if the 2013 Kindle Fire has the same measurements as the 2012 Kindle Fire and if they're the same you have your answer.

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.

I don't know how much the specs changed between the 2012 or 2013. I bought it for my 2012. It's a great case, not exactly drop-resistant, but very good quality as far as a general use case.

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