I've gifted a couple as Xmas gifts over the years. But for my own daily use I tend to go with the cheapest black pleather I can find on Amazon or eBay; they get too much use to go with handcrafted leather. I need beaters, not artwork. |

I bought a decal girl skin once. It was a disaster. Never again. I'm not coordinated enough to install one. I prefer black cases unless it's my phones then it's purple. Makes it easier to find.

A nice cover is part of the pleasure for me too�� So far, i've found the Amazon leather covers perfect. (Newest is for PW2). There are several rich colours to choose from, with a muted dark grey felt inside. They feel nice to hold when folded back, and are not at all distracting.
I had a gorgeous pink leather cover with my Sony 505 - loved it. I haven't seen the kindle voyage origami cover in person, but i have reservations, based on the pictures. They don't seem bookish enough. |

I always just get a teenager to install mine. Isn't that what they are for?

Ah. My kids are grown, but there are teens at church or the library.
Be creative. It makes them feel like they are doing a good deed, so generally they are glad to lend their young eyesight and coordination. |

I have an Oberon case for my Sony.
My Kobo mini has a case which was supposed to be a dark purple, but is actually lavender. Oh well. The case for my Nexus 7 is a bright pink. I am not really a fan of pink, but I wanted a case that doubled as a stand for both landscape and portrait mode and my only choices were pink or black. I know there are a lot of cases available for the Nexus (far more than for the Sony or Kobo). But a lot of them seem to fit very close and do not offer protection for the corners. The main reason I want a case is to protect the device if it falls, so having one that protects the corners was important to me. I bought my case at Staples but here is the link to the same one at Amazon (sorry I don't have any pictures of it on my device). |

Don't go to either place here. I just stay in my apartment and occasional go to the store every few months. People here are not friendly like back in TN Especially young people. I am trying to get hubby to install a screen protector on my Fire Phone. He keeps putting it off.

Jaeyun that ereader cover looks absolutely immaculate. And I love how you went on your way to customize the look of your ereader to your liking. I usually don't mind the corner straps though. Haha. Is the book smelling spray can for real? Wow.
