I have this case on my FireFone: http://www.amazon.com/Speck-CandyShe...ase+for+kindle
It's pricey but it provides a very secure grip surface on the sides and back. |

Looks like they have extended the $250 off offer until Dec 3.

N.B. - Amazon did tweak the OS to stop the hideous battery drain when the Wifi was left on. Initially you could literally watch the battery drain from Wifi usage - and had to remember to turn on airplane mode if you didn't have a charger cord with you. My phone, lying unused on my desk at work, would drain 30 -50% in 8 hours - even if I didn't use it for anything. Now, the battery remains > 90% over 8 hours. |

All true. I have yet to damage a device, so I'll just keep on like that.

I'm using this phone like a pocket-sized Fire HDX. It's worth the $100 I paid for it. If I had to pay $200 with the current OS, I wouldn't do it. Very glad they fixed the battery drain. |

Not that I'm interested in a Fire phone but if you are it seems a bargain in the US as in the UK they still want £399 for it which is around $640 at today's exchange rate!

Sounds like the Android app. I keep waiting for an update that includes stations. One of the reasons for getting the phone is for the Prime Stations. Is this only available on the Fire tablets? Haven't bothered to check my iPad.

Mines ordered with Del date of Dec 29th! Do you folks know how long it takes for them to add the Prime? My free trial ends the 9th or 12th.
