Marware Lightweight MicroShell Folio Kindle Fire Cover

 

The Kindle Fire from Amazon is really taking off and millions of users absolutely love their Kindle. I’ve got mine and I don’t go anywhere without it. If you want to protect your Kindle Fire then you’ll need a sturdy and lightweight Kindle Fire Cover. The Marware MicroShell Folio Kindle Fire Cover is a streamlined, lightweight cover that protects your Kindle Fire and also functions as a horizontal stand for hands-free reading and viewing.

One of the downsides of using a protective cover for your Kindle Fire is the weight. You definitely want a light-weight folio cover, otherwise you defeat the whole purpose of having a light weight device that’s convenient to carry around with you everywhere you go.

The Marware MicroShell Folio Kindle Fire Cover combines the best design features to provide ultra-light weight protection from scratches and mild impact. The MicroShell Folio is made with a sturdy polycarbonate shell on the back side fused to a rubberized front lid. The Marware Kindle Fire Cover comes with an elastic strap that’s heat-fused to the polycarbonate back shell and secures the MicroShell Folio cover in both an open or closed position.

For convenient hands-free viewing, the front lid folds back and inserts into a groove on the back of the polycarbonate shell to provide a viewing stand for your Kindle Fire. The weight of your Kindle Fire will stabilize the MicroShell cover when you have it open in the standing position.

The Marware Lightweight MicroShell Folio Kindle Fire Cover does exactly what you want it to do. The folio cover provides the protection you want for your Kindle Fire with the lightest weight case possible. It’s a simple design, nothing fancy, but it does exactly what you need. The Marware Lightweight Microshell Cover comes in four attractive colors (black, graphite, pink and white) and is one of the best selling Kindle Fire Covers at Amazon with lots of satisfied customers.

The Kindle Fire Is On Fire

Kindle Fire

It would be almost impossible to have escaped the hype and buzz around the new Amazon Kindle Fire this season. And the buzz is not just about the great price of $199, which is half the price of an Apple iPad. It really looks like Amazon has hit a home run with the Kindle Fire. Maybe you just need to get one to find out what the fuss is all about!

Kindle Fire is Great For Travelling

If you’re on the go and do a lot of travelling, whether taking an extended trip or maybe just that long commute to work every day, the Kindle Fire will definitely keep you entertained and engaged. And the Kindle Fire is much more convenient to carry with you than a laptop, notebook or larger tablet device like the Galaxy Tab. The Fire has a larger sized screen and that means that viewing movies is a vastly better experience than with a regular smartphone.

And many people are saying that the Kindle Fire has a more convenient and easier to hold form factor than the 10 inch iPad.

Kindle Fire is Powered By Android

Did you know that the OS underneath the Kindle Fire is Android? What a powerful move Amazon has made building the Kindle Fire on top of the Android OS. Now mind you, some reviews out there have complained that even though the Kindle Fire runs on Android, you don’t have access to the Android Marketplace. But think about it, this actually makes sense. The Kindle Fire doesn’t have many of the hardware functions typically found on Android devices such as a GPS, accelerometer, camera, etc., so it really would be useless to download many of the Android apps that depend on these device functions.

Instead, what Amazon offers is the Kindle Store which provides many of the most popular apps that everyone is interested in such as Angry Birds, Plants vs. Zombies, Netflix, ESPN, Accuweather, and so on.  And Amazon assures that apps from the Kindle Store will run on the Kindle Fire. The apps in the Kindle Store have been thoroughly tested and optimized to function perfectly on the Kindle Fire, so you have nothing to worry about when you download or purchase these apps.

Running on Android, the Kindle Fire can multitask which means you can do things simultaneously like listen to music while browsing the Internet, reading a book or playing a game.

Amazon Prime Is All About Content

And have you heard about Amazon Prime? For a very affordable $79 a year subscription, you get unlimited access to over 100,000 movies and TV shows on demand at any time. A one time annual service fee, no further monthly payments to make. You can watch these movies anytime you want, on demand, directly from the Amazon Cloud.

The Kindle Fire uses a fast wifi connection to stream movies and music directly to your device. This is a key focus for Amazon to manage and deliver all of this great content from the Amazon Cloud. The idea is to make it easy and seamless to access the content and media you want without having to think about it. It’s not so much about the device, it’s all about the content!

For example, say you’re watching a movie and you your wifi connection gets interrupted. The Kindle Fire is smart enough to know where you left off and can resume the movie at a later time from the same point. We think Amazon Prime will revolutionize the way users seamlessly access digital content.

The Kindle Fire is A Tablet Too

Keep in mind, as we mentioned, the Kindle Fire is more about the content than the device. Again, the primary function of the Kindle Fire is to serve as a media consumption device and give you easy, seamless access to the huge media library licensed by Amazon.

But don’t lose sight of the fact that the Kindle Fire is a pretty smart and capable tablet device too!  As we mentioned, not only does the Android operating system allow you to download all kinds of apps including utilities, games, tools, office products, and more. You can also send and receive email, maybe check a presentation you have to make, or compose quick reports. You can do all of this on your Kindle Fire!

And how about Kindle Silk, the highly optimized browser that Amazon has designed for the Kindle Fire?  The revolutionary Kindle Silk browser harnesses the full power of the Amazon Cloud to make your browsing experience blazing fast. And with a Kindle Fire device, you have  free access to Amazon Cloud Storage to upload and store all of your media and then access it from anywhere. Very nice!

It looks like the Kindle Fire has really revolutionized handheld tablets and is clearly giving competitors a run for their money. But don’t wait for the competition to try and catch up, just get a Kindle Fire today!
