The Drop Tech case for the Kindle Fire fits exactly to the tablet and offers four layers of shock-absorbing protection. One of the best features is a replaceable, integrated screen protector .

While all the shock absorption is great, what I found particularly useful was how all the ports are covered with rubber flaps, which is great for keeping out dust or grime. Tablets are meant to be used almost anywhere, so with the Drop Tech Series case you can feel safe using it outside—heck, even bring it camping if you can’t live without your Kindle Fire! When all four layers are snapped together, there is a tight seal all around so nothing can get in. As an added bonus, the case is airport security friendly!

Features

Complete security for the Kindle Fire, including screen and port covers
Dual material construction for multiple layers of shock absorption
Reinforced rubber bumpers on the corners
Includes replaceable integrated screen cover for protection during use

Rating	Description
	N/A
4.0	Functionality: All ports are accessible here along with the front and rear camera. Because of the rubber flaps that keep out dirt and grime, the home button and volume rocker aren’t as easy to push. But the rubber does give some extra surface area so very useful if you are wearing gloves while using.
4.5	Protection: Polycarbonate front, screen protector frame, polycarbonate back and silicone skin backing. Enough said. It’s not steel but it is sure to keep your tablet safe from just about any damage—impact, dirt, bumps, bruises and even moisture to a degree.
4.0	Quality: When you have a case with four different parts, there is always a possibility that something won’t work out because of poor cut outs or manufacturing. However, this is far from being true with the Drop Tech Series – Gumdrop Cases flex its design muscles here and show the rest of the tablet world how to build a sturdy, solid and useable case.
4.0	Value: At $49.95, the case is for excellent price, especially considering the money you’d pay to replace a damaged tablet. If you use the Amazon Kindle Fire in extreme situations that require protection, then this is a great value for what you need.
4.1	Overall: Good Whether you are paintballing, mountain climbing or saving the world from bad guys, Gumdrop Cases Drop Tech Series case is here to protect your Amazon Kindle Fire. This is one of the best safeguarding case designs out there.

"Green and durable"

on 2012 May, 11 by Bob Valery

My little daughter has already smashed two Kindles, so I decided to stop spending on devices and purchase a durable case for her new Kindle Fire. Gumdrop promised extreme protection from drops and that was the main selling point for me.

I was pleasantly surprised to see a screen protector included in the package, this way not only the back and the sides of the tablet will be protected, but the screen too. The special design of the case features a slightly elevated bezel all around the screen, this means that even in case of a flat drop the screen will feel safe.

My Maggie has the case for three weeks now, and so far the Kindle Fire is safe, I should probably knock on wood here. I can surely recommend this case to anyone who likes to drop things.
