DIY cover and sleeve
Maybe I'm a cheapskate but I really don't want to buy a cover whose price is half the price of the ereader. Lol.
So I decided to make one myself. But ended up with 2 I made the flip cover using a desk calender and an old hoodie. I considered using snap but I like that I can adjust the angle by tying the ribbon around the back. The sleeve I made from an old skirt. What do you think? |

Good job! Love both of them! Very creative!
Just a thought though: When I make sleeves I try to not have anything hard on the side of the screen. (Thinking of that great looking buckle - LOVE it, by the way!). Just to be on the safe side. I really like the look of that closure though, so I might steal that idea but put the reader so the back is to the buckle. Or maybe a bit of padding... hmmm... |

I think it's great that we have some talented people in this forum! And I think both your ideas and execution of them are wonderful! I made my sleeves for my Sony, and love seeing other people's ideas and work! Karma-worthy, for sure! EDIT: Say! What happened to all the karma I tried to add? Only 8 showed up!?! I certainly added more than that! Stitchawl Last edited by Stitchawl; 01-03-2013 at 05:52 AM. |

Thank you a lot Asawi and Stitchawl for the karma.
The sleeve was my first attempt. It was supposed to be padded but my measurement was off and it became too tight so I got rid off the padding and inner lining That's why I made the flip cover which is sturdier =) |

But the last two really work exactly the way I need them to. One is SUPER protective, guaranteed to stop anything smaller than a shoulder-fired missile, and perfect for long-distance traveling. The other is thinner, but protective enough for the usual bumps of crowded trains or buses. Stitchawl |
