Case-Mate Tuxedo Kindle Fire Folio Case in Black
Ever wanted to say that you’re the proud owner of a tuxedo? Then Case-Mate can make that daydream come true (on a budget) with their Tuxedo case for the Amazon Kindle Fire. The folio tablet case has a front cover that folds like a smart cover into an easy to use dual purpose stand - for typing or flipping through your photos. With a smooth and elegant design made from Italian-leather inspired material, simply toss it in your bag and you’re ready to go. Available in either black or caramel.
Pros
- Very slim
- “Magic Tape” adhesive
- Built-in magnets activate sleep feature
Cons
- High price tag
- Tablet edges exposed
Overview
In men’s eveningwear fashion, the Tuxedo is classic elegance – sleek, sharp and always a head-turner. Taking this influence, Case-Mate’s designers channeled these features and came up with an inspired case: The Tuxedo for the Kindle Fire. Besides being a fashion statement for the tablet world, the case also doubles as a tablet stand case . The front cover has four segments that fold up to give you two viewings angles.
The most interesting part of the Tuxedo is its innovative adhesive material called "Magic Tape". The Kindle Fire sticks to the inside instead of having to insert the tablet into the case. Don’t worry – there’s no residue. The case cover also comes with built-in magnets that activate the tablet sleep feature when closed. They also prevent the case from opening. At $40 it is a bit more expensive than other Amazon Kindle Fire cases.

Editor's Rating
| Rating | Description |

| N/A | |
| 3.5 | Functionality The Tuxedo provides auto sleep/wake function and clear access to all Kindle Fire controls and features. Its folding cover creates a stable tablet stand that supports one angle each for viewing or typing in landscape format. |
| 4.0 | Protection Unfortunately, most Kindle Fire edges are left exposed and could easily get dinged up. Also, I’m not sure if the “Magic Tape” is trustworthy enough to keep the tablet secure if it fell off a table. The magnetic cover assures secure case closure and the nice microfiber interior will shield the screen against scratches. |
| 4.5 | Quality The Italian, leather-inspired material gives the Tuxedo a classy touch and elegant look. Its “Magic Tape” technology is certainly interesting and a clear sign of ingenuity in Case-Mate craftsmanship. |
| 3.5 | Value The Tuxedo comes with ample function, protection and some sharp looks. This folio is definitely worthy of its $40 price tag. |
| 3.9 | Overall: Good Sharp looks, good function, generous protection, and a fair price make the Tuxedo a best case scenario for any Kindle Fire user searching for a folio. |

"Slim and functional"
This particular folio turned out to be everything I looked for. It comes with built-in magnets to wake my Kindle Fire up and put it to sleep, and they also keep the case firmly shut. Another great feature of the Tuxedo is its slim design: no bulk has been added to the tablet. And don’t forget the stand position – it comes in really handy when you get tired of holding the device in your hands while watching a movie.
