My recommendation for a cover is the Marware $44 cover. It works great and now I can hold my Fire without it slipping away. Converts into a landscape stand easily. The construction is excellent quality leather. The elastic band on the back fits my hand just right. I know everyone is talking about the cheaper covers, but believe me this one is well worth the money. As for stand alone stand I bought this one for $12.
