I just put together a padded DIY cover that is so simple most anyone could make it. It's not duct-tape but it is quick, easy, there's no sewing, it cost less than $11 and it took me under a half-hour from start to finish.
I posted the full tutorial on my blog:

And I'm giving it away, if anyone is interested. (Kindle and kitty not included)
