I have the Poetic Slimline case for our 8.9" Kindle Fire HDX that my 7 yo mostly uses. It was fine for an inexpensive case, though I think I'd rather have a tougher case considering how much he uses it.
I'd also do what Blossom suggested to me when I got my KPW, let it run out until it asks you to charge it, reset it, THEN charge it. I did this a couple of times in a row and my battery life went from 1 week to 2 weeks and I use it 2-5 hours per day.

Oh, ETA, I also never leave the Wi-Fi on if that helps.
