Hack(able) - Kindle Fire Cases

[Droidintorrance]

I'm pretty proud of what I've done... I know I posted this already... but it's worth repeating...

Got my case for $5 with shipping, took an old speaker flat magnet, a needle, some thread and 10 minutes, to sew on the magnet onto one of the color straps...

I like cases with minimum front coverage... want to get it as clean as possible, I tried on cases with the bezels or frames that some of you have done and I can't stand it...

The tablet is snug and tight, I can hold the tab with one hand for extended periods of time, the magnet turns on/off the screen so I don't need to push the power button anymore, besides one of the corner straps sort of cover up the buttons...

Those color straps come in handy and feels great over the hands for added grip and comfort...

I can easily tuck in a stylus at the spine of the cover; I don't even have to use the stylus clip (as it will eventually break) and it will still stay nice and snug inside the cover when closed...

The volume buttons are harder to access, so I'm have a volume widget for quick, volume access, now if I can only put a volume slider inside the notification then I will be set...

Love my N7 & Case...

I think this is really neat and inventive. Good work man, you're definitely opening my horizons as far as case selection goes.

Awesome job...I'm currently using an unmodified KF case till I decide on a permanent solution. Seems like a lot of the KF cases, especially those with the corner straps like yours, can be put to use as Nexus 7 cases. The biggest issue for me is that they generally are about half an inch shorter than they should be and the upper/right corner strap usually interferes with the buttons in some way.
