In case you are wondering why, the plan is for the Fire Tablet to become a simple Time/Day/Date/Calendar event display for an elderly person with dementia.

that is doable- with my Fire HDX tablets I had covers where you slide the tablet into the cover then a velcro flap secures it, and the cover creates a border all around the front, like a picture frame.

e.g. here is a Moko case for the HD 8 at amazon uk that you could slide a glass or perspex front into
