Is the Screen of the Kindle Fire HD 6 Kids Edition Resistant to Damage?

With children (and adults, too, for that matter) it’s always possible that the screen of a tablet may be scratched or broken. The screen of the Kindle Fire HD 6 Kids Edition is made from Gorilla Glass.

Gorilla Glass is a lightweight, damage resistant toughened glass designed to reduce the tendency of glass to crack. It has a protective coating that is resistant to scratches and the glass itself is very hard. The tablet has also undergone rigorous testing.

An additional protection is the Kid-Proof Case. Although this does not protect the screen itself, it does protect the edges of it, with additional protection at the corners, and dropping a tablet on its corner can easily damage the screen. The case itself has cut-outs for the various ports and cameras.

For greater peace of mind, there are screen protectors available that can be added to the screen itself, but one of the biggest protections to the screen is the 2-year worry-free guarantee that Amazon provide.
