Now I have to wait till my birthday to buy a case. I am hoping it fits one of the sleeves I have till then. I have this Sleeve you think it will work?

Yay! I'm doing the happy dance for you!

Yes that sleeve should be perfectly fine!

Can't wait to hear what you think of it!

If you want to keep using that sleeve, and use the device without a fold over case, I totally recommend the TPU X case, like this one. Gives it a bit of a grippiness without adding any bulk.

Thank you! I am sitting here playing Christmas music and singing Happy Birthday to myself. My neighbor in the next wall over must think I am nuts because she has gone silent.

I will get Poetic Slimline Case which is $12.95 with Prime shipping. I just have to wait for more money to come my way.

Congrats

It'll fit, but will be a bit loose:

• FHD 6 --> 6.7 x 4.1 x 0.4"
• HDX 7 --> 7.3 x 5.0 x 0.4"

Before the update I didn't even keep the tablet brightness at minimum as that was too dim even in the dark and now the minimum is too bright in light or dark. It's brighter than the Kindle Fire 1 which everyone always complained about.

Blossom-

I found the minimum brightness of the HD6 to still be too bright to read in bed (my wife would get annoyed with the light ). Screen Dim Full works perfectly on my HD6. (I use it when reading Kindle books. Moon+ Pro does a great job lowering the brightness on its own for .epubs.)

Hope this helps.

Edit to add: I love my Poetic Slimline case, it fits perfectly.

I fired up the Citron HD6 for the first time. The Revolution cases for them should be here Thursday. I hadn't been able to think up a good name for it. My 6 is named Acheron, my DD1's is named Styxx, but I couldn't find any names that my DD2 would like. So I looked at a list of faery names, and saw the name Blossom. So that's what I named hers. Of course she might change it when she gets it! But it's a good name for her tablet, for now!

My KFHD7 keeps crashing Screen Dim on Sangria Like I'll go to Farm hero saga and when it loads the level Screen Dim crashes. I've never had this happen before. Screen Dim has always worked perfectly.

Atunah just told me about another app called Display Brightness. I sideloaded it from Google Play. It works! I can play again. Oh wow this works better. You can use negative brightness with this app!

Just ordered a 16GB Fire HD 6 and paid $79 - it'll arrive Sat

How? By taking advantage of the $40 Prime-Kindle Promo. I never got an invite, so I discovered how to get the discount after visiting Nate's blog. See this thread and this post for details.
