Supcase Unicorn Beetle PRO Series Hybrid Protective Case with Built-in Screen Protector for Amazon Fire HD 6 (4th Generation), Blue/Black

This case is very sturdy, and my 5 year old son digs it. He's able to grip it easily, and the screen protector works well with the Fire HD screen. The color matches the photos, and looks really sharp.The Fire HD 6 fits very snugly into the case. It comes with a plastic screen protector - low grade, but good for the price. The package has a link to an installation video on youtube - the video actually has directions for an iPad, but it was simple enough to extrapolate. Might be difficult to get the device into the case if you have arthritis or an RSI.

Reading some of the reviews kind of scared me - fear not, pilgrim - this is an easy installation.The case is solid and it took a bit of work to get the rubber edges loose from the body of the case. But once you get a corner free, it's all good.There is plastic wrap on the inside and outside of the screen - make sure you pull both off. I also recommend you make sure your Kindle screen is very, very clean before you pop it in; pulling this case apart is not something you want to do daily. Again, make sure you slide the kindle in correctly - you really want the ports, camera lenses, and speakers to line up, right? Push the backing in - use a little muscle there, don't be shy - and you are done.It works great. The screen is still plenty sensitive to touch and the quality of the protective screen is high - I really don't see much if any image degradation, though I would have to do a side-by-side to be sure. The case is not bulky or cumbersome in the least. The cameras work perfectly and the speaker grill does the job. The ports next to the power switch permit access for the usb charger and jack for earbuds or headphones.This wasn't an expensive purchase and definitely adds some peace of mind. I like the bright color as well - I am going to use this kindle as a classroom tool and like the idea of it standing out.

So sorry I wasted my money on this. It came with no installation instructions nor could I find any online. My son ruined it assuming the plastic cover was packing material. So, how to open it. Obviously the other folks who bought this did, but it isn't at all clear. The screen cover is also rather stiff and brittle. Even if I figure out how to open it, I'm done with this product. Back to my old case.

Once you get the case on its a very nice tight fitting clean case. Does the job and protects the Kindle well. Here are my only gripes:1.The directions tell you to scan a QR code before you install, they make it very clear you need to watch the video on how to take the case apart/put together. When you go to watch the video the video is instructions for an iPad and its a different case? I figured it out on my own but made me waste about 10 minutes downloading a QR reader and watching a video that had nothing to do with the product i had in my hand at the time.2.Wish their was some small "handlebars" on the sides. My little guy holds it in his small hands and the case is so thin his thumbs have to press against the screen kicking on the on screen controls menu confusing and frustrating him, if there were some small handles on the sides that would fix the issue. The foam case that comes with the Kids Kindle Fire HD by default is thick enough so the kids thumbs don't press the screen but it doesn't protect the screen like this case does.All in all its a nice case, but if you have a 2 year old like we do you may want to think about a case with a better grip, if its a 3-4 year old child you probably will be fine with this.I've attached a photo of our little guy holding the Kindle, notice his thumbs...

I bought two of these cases for the Fire HD 6s my parents bought my 6-year-old twins for Chanukah. I was a bit concerned about some of the bad reviews I read, but this was absolutely the ONLY case I could find that was shipped via Amazon that looked like it would protect these devices enough for kids (the Poetic brand ones, or whatever they are called, are shipped from the seller, and there are too many reviews about not getting the product in a timely manner to ignore).I have to say I am very pleased. The Fires are very well protected. The hard case covering them seems sturdy, and the device snaps in tightly. This is also one of the few cases available right now that has a screen cover built in--and yes, it could be better quality, but this isn't an Otterbox-priced case, either.IMPORTANT NOTE: It is true that there are not good instructions available for installing the cover. I went to the link on the sticker on the outside of the packaging, and it showed how to install an iPad Air case by the same manufacturer. But seriously, all it takes is a little extrapolation to figure this one out too. One thing that is NOT obvious is that there is a plastic film on the *inside* of the screen cover as well as the outside. On one case I bought it was coming off a bit, which is the only reason I knew it was there--on the other case it was actually difficult to remove. If you don't remove this film, it will look like the plastic has dots all over it. Once you remove it, the screen protector is clear.SECOND IMPORTANT NOTE: I got one black and one blue for my boys. The blue really isn't blue--it's more teal. It's a bit feminine, actually. My boys happen to have no regard whatsoever for gender roles and will be quite happy with it, but if you're looking for a more masculine color, don't choose the blue.Overall I am giving the case 4 stars because while I do like it a lot, the screen protector could be better. My older son has an iBlason case for his HD 7 and I truly love that one (and am disappointed that they don't make one for the HD6). But this is definitely the best case on the market for the HD 6 for kids and I've very satisfied with my purchase. If my opinion changes for any reason I will update this review.
