Cheap kindle cases?
Im a new kindle owner and I do not fancy forking out for an official kindle cover! Are there any cheap ones on the likes of ebay which people think are good? Such as just a sleeve or zip cover?

Head over to your local Target, Best Buy, etc. They carry some Kindle covers, and a lot of netbook covers will fit as well. eBay and Etsy have tons as well.

I ordered this from Amazon a while back:
CE Compass Cover Case for Kindle 3 (3rd Third Generation 6" Kindle Wi-Fi + 3G) Black Sold by: Eforcity (seller profile) For about $12..........awesome case. I wouldn't spend much more than this for a case, it's just not necessary. |

Wow that is nice for that price! I can't tell how much I wish the official K3 cover had a little pocket to put my microfiber cloth I use to clean the screen with. |

I got mcovers for my 3 KSO's (mine, my son, my niece) in green, blue and pink. They are all great covers, and only 11.99 (sometimes cheaper, you know how Amazon constantly changes the prices). I originally just got a silicone skin for mine, but once I saw my son's and niece's, I ordered the mcover for myself, too.

I got one of these here and went back for another. Absolutely nothing I could find that I did not like.
He is due to get some inventory at the end of the week. |

I use an EVA/nylon zippered hard case my son bought on Amazon for less than $9. I can't seem to find the exact one, but there are a few similar ones on there. Before that, I had a $9.99 Staples generic leather zippered case for a day planner. Both had enough room for the charger cable, and the Staples case had room for the charger plug as well. You don't have to spend a lot to get a good, protective case.

I bought a Case Logic LAPST-107 for my K3 recently and like it very much:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...pf_rd_i=507846 I got mine at a local OfficeMax for $15USD, although Amazon now has it for a bit less. |
