Silicone "case" for Kindle
Not available yet, but they are testing the waters, I think:
http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Kindle-...0475231&sr=8-4 "Available" in clear, pink or black. It appears to cover the "forward" and "prev" bars with a little cut-out for the scroll wheel, the keyboard and the screen. |

Hey I was looking at the new silicone case from Kroo and the black one seems to be blocking the scroll bar. There is another one that has an opening and it also comes with a stand for your Kindle. Expected ship date is 5-20. Here's the linky

Covering the large buttons isn't supposed to be a problem. My ipod cover covers the scroll wheel, but you just touch through it. That's the pleasure of the soft stretchy silicone.

My blue silicon cover has already been shipped! However, it's been sent via the US Post Office from the third party seller. That means that even though I have a tracking number it won't show any information until after it's delivered since most of the time the bar code isn't scanned until my excellent postal carrier scans the delivery confirmation label when she leaves it at my house.

I'm interested if this case alleviates the accidentally-pushing-the-buttons problem. Using the default Kindle case I don't have any trouble not pushing the buttons, but holding the Kindle without the case is awkward. But this one is such a close-fitting sleeve that I wonder if it will help with that at all.
