How does this case work for kids?

My granddaughter is very rough on her kindle. She has destroyed her case in about 6 months[ she is 9 ] and I am getting her another one for Christmas. I think she would have also managed to destroy an expensive one!!! Bottom line; they wear out but last as long as expected for the price . I like mine.

I prefer the OtterBox. Much more expensive but it's almost I breakable. It completely encloses the kindle with a unbreakable plastic face. It's waterproof. It's worth the money spent.

I would think it would work just fine. The cover will fold completely flat against the back of the Kindle so it can be used just like a tablet. Also since it will stand the Kindle it would be good for games, reading and other apps. Since it has the sleep/wake feature it saves on the battery and protects the face of the Kindle when the Fintie is closed leaving it flat like a book for easy carrying in anyone's bag or backpack. Have had my cover for merely months and am in my 70's can't really testify to durability in the hands of a child, but it appears to be quite sturdy.

It has no protective front. The case is made backwards and not protective enuf for younger kids

It does come out of the case very easily. Great for toddlers, case is very supportive around the perimeter and back just in case they drop it.

I bought it for my daughter when she was ~18 months. She uses the app more than the case, honestly.

The tablet will be protected by the case where it is covered by the case if the toddler throws it due to it's thickness, although the tablet may sustain damage internally do to the throw. And we all know toddler's can be hard on electronic devices and other household items we value.

My daughter has the iPad mini case and it lines up fine. There s a door for the charger so u don't have to take the case out. It's not heavy at all, s really light and protects great in my opinion. I had it before for my kindle fire and when I changed for the iPad mini I got the same style/material case. I think s a great case for kids an in love the handle.

my 5 year old granddaughter uses my Kindle in this case all the time. she is very careful with it so I don't know how it would be if the case & Kindle were dropped.

The case is made of two pieces. If you notice where the darker parts on the edges....that's is a separate piece, so you slide on the main case, then the out piece slides over that. It works pretty well.

It is absolutely worth it AND it will hold up brilliantly to a 4 year old! I have three girls, ages 7,4,1, and they have dropped my Kindle Fire in its Gumdrop case and it has never flinched. My brother-in-law is an electrician and he uses an iPad on the job site that uses a Gumdrop case. His iPad has been kept super safe for over a year now. I figure if it's tough enough for a construction job site, it will have no problem with a 4 year old :). Hope this helps!

Mine fits very tightly so it takes some work to take it out (and put it on) but as you probably know toddlers are very resourceful. I would still recommend this case though, I tried several and after my kids cracked 2 tablets, I decided to buy this one and so far so good, it bounces off the floor. Good luck Just another note, my cases DO NOT cover the earphones openings, I have 2 nexus android tablets

As I understand it, the Otterbox cases contain a silicone inner layer with either a polycarbonate backing or a complete polycarbonate over-layer. They also appear to come with a screen protector for the device. This product is simply a silicone skin layer, so it follows that it wouldn't be as strong or protective as an otterbox. However, it does provide a layer of protection against potential nicks, dings and minor drops. The device would probably still get damaged if a toddler dropped it from a height, stomped on it or threw it in the toilet (that's what I picture toddlers doing with everything). Clear screen protectors are not included. As I understand it, the Otterbox cases contain a silicone inner layer with either a polycarbonate backing or a complete polycarbonate over-layer.

There's certainly nothing sharp or dangerous in the case itself, if that's a concern. The case is quite sturdy and the stand set up is very easy to use, so a child should have no problem with it. A friend confirms that her 6-year-old granddaughter would have no trouble using a case like this.

Yes. It protects very well. My girls are 2 and 5 and they have both dropped it and it's fine.

It comes with a nice case. I find that to store them on the case is a pain because they fit in perfectly so you have to put them in just so. I prefer to keep them in a cardboard box so it is easier for the kids to clean up. The case is good to transport them.

Yes. I love this case. It has kept my 3 year olds ipad protected. I would recommend a screen protector if you can. Other than that it's great :)

I own this case and although I don't recommend it for kid-proof, it is a nice case for an adult looking for a slip-cover style rubber case. Unfortunately it does not fit as snug as the small HD7 GraphGrip. (I own both.) For something kid proof i'd look into one of the cases that allows the nook to snap into place or slid into place and fully cover it like a book. If the excess case is too much then the GraphGrip is about as best it gets for the minimalist design with decent protection. I do recommend adding a TechArmor screen protector if you go with the GraphGrip.

Thank you. I am in the market for a kid safe case for eight of these tablets. Any help will be greatly appreciated. At this point any case that will fit them properly would help!

It is not flimsy. I have been using it for 2 months now with no complaints. My 3 year old daughter plays with the iPad at least 1-2 hours a day with this case on, and its going strong.
