Ultra thin, non-folio case for Fire HD 8 (2017)? - Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Accessories

Has anyone seen one of these? I can't find anything on Amazon but maybe I'm not searching well enough. Looking for something like this, but for the Fire HD 8 obviously: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OGLW0PM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1

saw some on aliexpress but their quality's always questionable and they take about a month to deliver

Not to necro an old thread, but did the OP ever find what they're looking for? I'm looking for the same thing. I found this on eBay, but I don't like the big X on the back.

I'm new here, so I can't post links, but the closest I found came up on Ebay when I searched for "TPU Gel Soft Shell Protective Case Cover For 8" but they do have that X on the back
I'll keep my eyes peeled if I come across something more along the lines of what you are looking for. Recently I got a Logitech Type-V for my mom's Fire HD8 (2017) since it was only $7.80 from Walmart. Initially, it didn't fit (since it's clearly for an Ellipsis 8), but with a file and some materials I had lying around, it has become a pretty reliable case. Unfortunately, you can't jerry-rig a phone style case

That's close, except I have a Fire 10. I actually did buy the black TPU case with the big X on the back that's meant for the 2015 version, hoping it would fit my 2017 Fire 10 even though it's 1mm thicker. It sorta fits, but not very well along the sides

Damn- I didn't even notice that. Thanks for pointing that out. It's strange that all the 7th gen. gel cases that I've seen are only for the Fire 8.

Just an update- I got this in the mail today: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Sof...-Kindle-Fire-8-2017-7th-AU23/32827884562.html
It fits and feels pretty good considering the cost

Strange how you can't find a black tpu case anywhere.

Leather case for MT?

Has anyone found a good leather case with bell clip for the Triumph?
I see a few of them listed on Ebay, but not sure which one fit best.
Thanks.
I had this case lying around and it fits the triumph perfectly.
I can't post links but if you search google for "Downtown Universal Vertical Case XXL" you will find it.

I did. But the problem is all of the cases listed are made for other devices or one-size-fit-all cases, I am not sure if it will fit.
If you know of a case that will fit the Triumph properly, please share.

When I'm looking for a case I'll take the dimensions of my phone and find a more popular phone with similar dimensions. Then just search for cases made for those phones and you should be fine.

I tried that too.
I purchased a case for the Sprint EVO 4G, hoping it would fit, but it did not fit well at all. From my research, the EVO has the same length and width as the Triumph, only ~3mm thicker.
I think the problem is that ebay sellers usually list cases for a specific phone model even though it's not made for the phone.

I wouldn't start out by searching ebay. I usually look on amazon and if I find something that might work I'll find the manufacturer's site and check out what info they have on the product. Ebay is usually my last resort. Just my two cents.
Just bought this one on Amazon

I will let you guys know how it fits the Triumph.

it also fits with the rubber case on it as well.

Yup. Triumph 4.8 x 2.6 x 0.5" / 122 x 66 x 10mm (HTC Evo 4G 122 x 66 x 13mm).
I ordered this one, will let you know how I like it:

$33 with shipping.

I received the case a few days ago.
Pros: high quality leather. $10 Shipped.
Cons: A little hard to remove the phone without a cut out at the bottom. The width of the case is just enough to hold the phone. I wish it's a few mm wider for better protection.
Over all, it's a keeper for me untill something better come out.

That looks like a nice case, but too much money for my taste. I wouldn't buy any case that cost more than 10% the cost of the phone ($200).

Well, it's nice, but I'd put it at around $20 in value. No soft lining for the screen, but so far the hard interior hasn't been a problem. Fits pretty well, even with a button from my Tetrax car mount on the back of the phone. I wouldn't want it any more snug.
I like leather, and if it's going to be leather, it might as well please you if you're going to be touching / handling it a lot. This case is nice, but for $30 I would have liked great.

The flaw in that logic is if you get a really handsome, good looking phone at a good price. I haven't seen a phone I think is better looking than the triumph. Slim, elegant, and I LOVE the soft black silicone rubber finish. It's worthy of the best case you can find on the market.
No problems with mine. New to Android, but liking it so far.

Slip case recommendations?

I'm thinking I'll dump the folio that I've been using for a slipcase.
The reason is I don't really need or want a stand and I'll probably start using the tab on a mount in my truck anyhoo.
I believe it may be just easier to hold onto the tablet then slip it for protection.
I'd like to find something dawg hair proof (like there is such a thing)
Been scouring Amazon plus I looked at the Fry's near us, but searching just wears me out.
Soooo I turn to the illustrious members of this great forum for perhaps a place to start.
Searched the forums and found a few dated threads.
You mean this kind of case http://www.bodyguardz.com/universal-tablet-sleeve-protection-cases-covers-sleeves-shield.html?dir=asc&order=sort_priority ?
if you are looking for one with some protection. The one I have is great (especially if you have the dock as well).
google "built ny hoodie laptop case" and look for the 7-10" one. Tablet fits in it like a glove and it has some protection on the sides and back (unlike a normal neoprene sleeve)... though it is obviously alot thicker than just neoprene
I managed to find mine at Canada Computers for CAD $4.99 on sale (in black.)
sorry cant post links yet..

FYI, that sleeve will not fit with Transformer. If you look at the dimensions of the iPad and Infinity, they are different. That sleeve is for the iPad. Cancel your order.
I bought a HP sleeve before that was on sale for 1$. It fits my iPad but not my Infinity.
This would probably work well if you have the dock.

Just got this one in. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006IKHPZO/ref=oh_details_o02_s01_i00 It is padded, semi rigid, and will fold into a stand.
I just got this one (Oops, can't post links yet. Search Amazon for "TSS13505US") and I'm happy with it, especially for $8.99 and free shipping. My Infinity + Dock fit nicely inside and the padding feels quite protective.
I got this HP 10" netbook slip case, someone suggested on here: http://www.amazon.com/HP-WV594AA-10-2-Inch-Sleeve/dp/B003UT7QD2/ref=cm_cmu_pg__header. Works nice. Has a pocket to store cables, chargers, portable stands, and so on. If you go the link, the six pictures on the case on the red desk, are from me. There is a picture of the TF700 in the case, and various stuff in the pocket. Plus, it's only $10
Brenthaven Pro Sleave for Macbook Air. Superb case for Tablet with Dock. I have two one for the TF300 and one for the TF700
It's like it was made for it. Nice thing is, if they have it in stock you can try it at your local Microcenter rather than ordering online without seeing. They have two sizes, the smallest one fits the TF700 and TF300. If you order from Brenthaven's website it comes in multiple colors.

This is great. I accidentally dropped my device while using the STM Cape case and it doesn't protect the bottom corners well. This looks like it will cover it up.

I've pre-ordered from then before. It's a bit like of a hit and miss. Last time they missed their arrival date by two weeks because their shipments of their stock didn't come in on time, but they're very friendly and responsive. They updated me with the next expected date as soon as it was available.

Wow, that looks like it provides great coverage! I guess you have to store the S-Pen separately though (doesn't seem like there is a slot for it)? I also wonder what it will feel like to write on it, regarding both the "touch-sensitive, water-resistant screen-guard" (and how that will feel with the S-Pen) and also with the raised case edges.

people who have gotten this case for other devices suggested that you pop out the screen guard, and use your own, so I have a new Spigen on mine, so I dont want the one that is on the case; plus, I am sure there is a slot for the spen; that would be a major problem if there isnt one...raised case edges are a good thing for putting the tablet face down...

I think it's a fall where you pull it out. It looks like all the ports have it and I think it's to protect openings from dust.

Wow.. this changes the Galaxy Note 8 into completely something else
Very nice. I much prefer non-portfolio style cases due to their immediate accessibility. But I also prefer one with a built-in stand for video viewing and this one seems to be the first one like that for the note that I've come across (and a more premium model at that.) Based on the reviews for other tablets this seems a good possibility. Added to my wishlist and I'll be eagerly checking this forum/thread for a review once it's available.
Otterbox has already said they have no plans for a Note 8.0 case unfortunately. Odd since the Note 8.0 seems to be selling very well (at least according to my local Best Buys) and people who would pay $400 for a premium tablet would seem the most likely to not balk a premium case. I know I wouldn't. Oh well....

This case looks just like what I was after. I got a cheap folio case to start with while I waited to find my ideal case. I like the rased bevel. wanted one like that to help prevent me clicking the capacitive buttons by mistake in landscape mode. The raised home button will also prevent me accidentally pushing that as well. Happens sometimes when playing multiplayer fps games.
I've still not decide if I'll get a screen guard or not. Dont intend on using the one provided though.
Look forward to your feedback. Not available until June 30th in the UK.

I had the same thought too when I first saw the case. I was happy to find out there is no need to store the stylus on the side - there is a slot for it in the case! As for writing on the screen protector, I haven't noticed any difference from writing on the Note 8.0 screen with the stylus. I posted a pic in another response if you're curious to see.

well, got this case yesterday, and I have to say its everything I had hoped for and more; sort of like an otterbox, with a built in stand, which works in portrait and landscape.
HD rubber around the screen edges, fully protect port openings, and even the camera has a flip off protector, which,even has a little "slot" that holds it back when you want to use the camera; very nice high end touches like that, and a very solid feel to it as well.
You insert it inside a plastic bottom frame, then snap the top cover over it, which has a very nice clear protector built into it, which, when used in conjunction with my current Spigen Ultra Clear, provides a fantastic surface to easily use my spen/holder on, giving you the identical feel as if you were writing on a legal pad, with a pen...very nice!
You then wrap the rubber cover around the frame, and after a few minutes of adjusting, you have basically a giant "otterbox" like protected tablet!!
Its probably not for eveyone, but I love holding the tablet in my hand, like a giant G-Note 2, and writing on it and using it now is so much nicer...I think it would easily survive a major fall, but dont ask me to try that!!
Definately more useful, and much better protection than any of these folio/notebook fabric covered cardboard cases that are all over the place..its just a little bulky for those with small hands...
Amazon price was 60% off the price from Poetic, so I would suggest you get if from Amazon if you are interested..

I was wondering if anyone could give the exact size of the case in inches. I am considering a swap to the note 8 from my nexus 7. Size is a concern because I keep it in my flight suit pocket. The Note 8 without a case is the same size in H and W as my nexus 7 with an otterbox installed. I was wondering how much extra size the poetic case adds. Thanks for the help!

Looking at the pictures and video is there any chance of the kick stand brace scratching the back of the note when it's folded? It appears to me metal. I'm close to ordering but I'm also nervous about the addition weight and thickness, how bad is it?

I bought this from eBay.
spigen case.
Wrong thread.
Bought official slim flip brown case, it is really worthy for such nice looking bhone, it is clearly much better quality than common chinese flip cases.
As is stated in other thread here, it does not have a magnet, a had to insert small magnet from notebook HDD into card pocket for screen sensor to work.
Bought something like this: https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1fgy0...d-PC-Soft-Silicone-Back-Phone.jpg_640x640.jpg
Looks nice, looks even a bit more premium (I mean.. I payed for it like 3$ ) than it's worth. Doesn't feel like it. But the doesn't offer as much of protection as it's advertised. I guess none of them protect the phone any more.. The leg is quite useful (Cheaply made, could break off pretty easily, yet it's still intact on my phone). All the holes for jack ports sucks. 3.5mm impossible to fit (well.. I use other headphones, maybe original ones fit). Maybe I will make the hole bigger somehow.. USB jack also gives problems. You have to adjust the bottom part of the case everytime. Can live with it, but could be better.

Any 2-piece cases for the 3a yet?

Does anybody make a 2-piece case with the TPU inside and the hard plastic shell? I've been using this type for years and love it. But can't seem to find any for the pixel 3a anywhere yet.

It seems like one of those is for the Pixel 3 XL, or maybe that's just the stock image. I am so torn right now. I have one of those cases on my LG G3 and it makes it feel like a brick. I want to enjoy my new 3a, but I am also so afraid I will drop and break it. Does anyone think a TPU case will be enough?

For my last 3 phone I've used TPU only and they've survived. This is the case I'm getting today. However, I try(maybe more than most) to baby my phones. Although, I must admit I've dropped them occasionally
It really depends on how you typically treat your phone. Example: My wife drops her iphone all the time but she has a bit stronger case.

The thread title is "any 3 piece cases for the 3a yet". That implies available now. Not "any 2 piece cases that will be available in a month?" :laugh:

Thanks for your info. I am also looking for a clear case. Let us know how this one works for you, please. Reviews are quite mixed. I'm also looking at the Spigen clear but it's listed as 1/12 in which would make it about twice as thick as the ESR. I never encased my GNex, N4, N5 or N5x., but I did skin the last 3 to get a better grip. The 3a seems pretty sturdy and not nearly as slippery as I thought it would be. I won't have mine until Friday.

I got it just a few hours ago. Seems good and fits well, but I'm pretty easy to please. All I was looking for was something to absorb some shock and also a scratch preventive when I lay it on a hard surface. I really wanted a different color but cases for these models are hard to come by right now. This ESR will serve my requirements until newer ones start showing up.

Does anybody make a 2-piece case with the TPU inside and the hard plastic shell? I've been using this type for years and love it. But can't seem to find any for the pixel 3a anywhere yet.

There is also the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Pro Series (yes; they make them for the Pixel 3a - I have one).

This is, in fact, my second UB series case (I have one for the Galaxy S7 - which my 3a sent into retirement). The one I linked to is in black (mine is in blue - by choice). It is $19.95USD. Too pricey? There is the Unicorn Beetle Style series for the 3a as well. All are available now.
