Travelling somewhere? The Case-Mate Venture case for Kindle Fire is a sharp, funky and protective folio-style case with a fold out stand. Made from black, textured polyurethane material with accenting red racing stripes, the Venture has a folding front cover that doubles as an adjustable stand. It’s perfect for watching videos & sharing some photos. For $50, it is a good price that matches Case-Mate’s quality craftsmanship and long-lasting design.

Pros

  • Slim fitting & lightweight
  • Excellent stitching
  • Snap-securing front cover

Cons

  • Speaker grill slightly muffled
  • Some tablet edges exposed
  • No good angles for typing

Overview

While it is not bungee jumping or skydiving, the Venture will be sure to get your blood flowing. The Venture Kindle Fire case has a sleek approach to keeping your tablet safe and looking good. A few "stand out" things I like about this case: first, the Venture’s built-in stand makes using the Kindle Fire even more enjoyable. Simply prop up the case’s front cover and you’re ready to watch YouTube, share some pictures or play some games. Second, the case has a great-looking leather-inspired black cover that gives the case some extra grip and feels nice to the touch. The red racing stripes that run over the Venture show Case-Mate’s tasteful attention to detail.

Lastly, the folio case gives great all-around protection – front and back are fully covered and safe from bumps. The case also has a slight cushion that can absorb impact or a drop. Satisfies my safety requirements, that's for sure. Taking all these great features all together, The Venture lives up to its name as an exciting case.

Features

  • Fitting design for Amazon Kindle Fire
  • Built-in stand feature for a sophisticated approach to protecting and displaying Kindle Fire
  • The built-in stand acts as a presentation easel and workstation, or remains hidden for a flat cover
  • Sleek textured finish, refined touch with leather-inspired case
  • Secured with button closure protecting Kindle Fire from all sides.

3.5Functionality
The Venture’s front cover snaps shut making it pretty handy for tossing in a bag and heading out the front door. When you’re not on the go, the built-in stand lets you sit back and enjoy multiple Kindle Fire viewing angles in comfort. The only fault is that the cut out for the speaker grill kind of covers it, muffling the sound.
4.0Protection
The Venture gives protection all around your Kindle Fire when the case is closed. There are some edges that are exposed but otherwise everything has a nice cushion protection. If you accidentally drop the encased tablet, this case can surely absorb most of the impact.
4.5Quality
Made from high-grade polyurethane material, the case is durable and light. All of the stitching is smooth and precise with nothing dangling off. Plus the closing snap is top quality and feels like it will stand the test of time.
3.5Value
Given its nice craftsmanship and design, $50 seems like a fair price for the Venture. There are certainly cheaper folios out there, but this one is sure to please.
3.9Overall: Good

The Venture for Kindle FIre is a satisfying folio case that is slim-fitting and practical. Featuring nice black texture with red racing stripe accents, the case looks good and protects all around your tablet.

"Excellent protection in a slim case"

on 2012 Sep, 6 by Eugene Schmidt
I’ve been a bit of an egoist, getting this case for myself and leaving my wife’s Kindle Fire naked. But, once I received it – I immediately order her one too. The Venture is simply that good: excellent craftsmanship, slim construction, and durable protection. Get it, get it now!
