Accessories Are Kindle Basic cases compatible with older devices?

Ruinemacil · 06-15-2023, 01:27 PM

Hi everyone! First time posting.

I have a Kindle 8 (serial number G000 KA) and I want to buy a cover for it, but in my country I only seem to find cases for Kindle 10 and 11. I have found that dimensions are very similar, and I think I remember the Paperwhite covers were "backwards compatible" between 1, 2 and 3, but I am not finding anything regarding the Kindle basic specifically. Does anyone know if a Kindle 10 case will work on a Kindle 8?

Thanks in advance!

It won't fit. If it's like a flip cover, the curves of the device needs to be exact.
I suggest looking for those generic 6" kindle cases where the device is either strapped, or there's a sleeve inside.
