Rubber Port Dustcover

cerement · 04-28-2008, 06:20 PM

One aftermarket item I would like (and it's a standard item on digital cameras and several other consumer gadgets):

A simple small rubber dustcover for the three ports on the bottom of the Kindle.

Anybody have any ideas for an alternative way to protect those three little ports?

Duct tape? Or masking tape?

Heh ... anyways, the problem with tape is that a) tape ages and gets brittle, and b) constant lifting and reapplying tape starts to leave adhesive residue behind ... but if you want to get that stuck inside your USB port ...

How about some bike tire tubbing cut to the appropriate size with a thin piece of velcro on the back and on the front of the Kindle (and on the tubing). Then you would have a little flap you can open and close at will.
