My almost 12 y/o daughter received a Kindle Fire for Christmas. She is pretty responsible for her age. i would like to get a cover for the Kindle Fire. Can anyone recommend one they have actually purchased, used, and pleased with. I don't want to spend a lot on it, but would like for it to be durable. TIA
Search Amazon for Kindle Fire Sleeve. We got one of the ones by BUILT, it's working out just fine so far. If you're looking for something that is more of a case that stays on, search for Kindle Fire Cover.
I have a regular Kindle, but got the cover at Target (they also have covers for other Kindles and pads.) They are about $30 there and I did see some at office supply stores, but they tended to run a little more $$. I'm pretty sure the covers at Amazon run about the same too!

I just ordered one similar to this one in pink.

I haven't used it yet, but I liked the secure features better then some on Amazon.
My husband bought me a Kindle Fire plus cover from Amazon for Christmas (he pre-ordered it, so when it became available in early Nov., it shipped, and he gave it to me then, so I've actually had it over a month now). I *think* he spent about $50 on the cover (leather), and I really like it. It's sturdy, and can be folded/bent in such a way as to prop it up in a horizontal/landscape position so you can watch videos like on a TV screen or monitor w/o holding it.
This is probably more than you want to spend (and if *I* had been buying, I would have gotten a cheaper one and taken my chances), but I can say that the leather cover from Amazon is sturdy and seems quite durable so far, though honestly, I've only had it a month so I don't consider that enough time to judge of its long-term durability, and whether it's truly worth the money. However, since the Fire has only been available for less than two months, I don't think anybody can truly say whether it's durable enough for the money.
I would suggest getting a cheap one and seeing how that works (unless others chime in and say that cheap *really* means "cheap"), and if it doesn't, you can always upgrade in another few months or so.
If you don't mind waiting for a shipment from China; I bought a leather cover, pen and screen protector for a kindle fire on Ebay. My purchase was $1.99 plus $7 for shipping. I received in about 10 days.
