If today I buy a KIndle Fire HD from Amazon how do I know if it is a 1st generation 2012 or 2013?

the 1st generation 2012 has the on/off & volume buttons on the edge & has a camera. The 2013 2nd generation has both buttons on the back & doesn't have a camera. the 2013 Kindle HDX is another version altogether & has the mayday button & does have a camera.

There are only three types of batteries for Kindles. They will tell you which device they accommodate, either Kindle (the earliest model of the device), Kindle Fire or Kindle HD (the newest). Battery description will tell you which one it fits. Your Kindle should tell you which model you have when you turn it on.

The only Kindle Fire HD's that have the Mini HDMI to Reg. HDMI for TV's is ONLY THE 2012 MODELS!! Unfortunately they removed one of the Selling Points for me (had the 2013 Kindle, sent it back and got the 2012 version). Even the more Expensive Kindle HDX's both sizes DO NOT OFFER THE HDMI outputs. What a terrible mistake in my opinion. Hope this helps answer some questions. Oh and NO ON THE Original Kindle Fire (not HD). Only 2012 Kindle Fire HD's 7" & 8.9".

Hello, This is not the newest version 2013. This model is from the late 2012. Thank you, Jesse

The 2012 version is what Amazon confusingly calls (previous version). Don't quote me on this, you'll have do your own research, but I think only the 2012 version is 7". That's the first generation.

Apparently it does but when I got the package, they had sent me the one for the Kindle Fire HD 2012.

Yes.. I have the blue case for my 1st gen Kindle Fire. These cases are great! Purchased mine early 2012 and it still looks great.

I'm not sure which is the latest model. As far as I know this is the 2012 edition

Mine is 3 years old. YOu need to search for a kindle fire HD 2nd generation specifically. check amazon for your equipment.. it will tell you what year your kindle is from then specifically search for that. this is how I found mine.

The one I bought like this ( I think mine was red) did not fit the 1 generation Kindle. The Kindle was too thick and case would not close around it.

KayDee, it's not obvious to what version of kindle you or I have but if you swipe down from the top of your kindle and press the more tab, you'll see a list of info items, press the device tab and than the about tab, you'll see the serial number for your kindle. Write it down, you should be able to go to the Amazon web site, since I haven't done this, I would go kindle support and see whatyou can find out. Since you have the serial number of your kindle, you should be able to use the serial number to find out what version you have. Good luck

On the side of the box that the Kindle Fire came in are the letters HDX I'm assuming that that identifies it. Could be wrong, have been before. bj

This is for the 7 inch HD Kindle Fire. The one right before the 8.9 inch HD Kindle Fire. Not sure about generation due to Kindle does not have Generation on their products. I hope this helps. Please do not hesitate the email me with further questions. Thanks! Kayla Johnson Skinit Customer Service

This is for the new Kindle Fire HD which I believe was only released in the fall of 2013. Try this link for more info:

I have the same Kindle Fire HDX 7. I cannot determine if it is "3rd generation" for sure, but it is brand new. It fits fine and is as described. I'm quite pleased and think it's well worth what I paid.
