I've been a Sony Reader user ever since I joined MobileRead, but I took the plunge a week ago and got a WiFi Kindle. I'm an instant convert in terms of ease of use, readability, etc etc. It's a beautiful machine, so naturally I want to get a nice and preferably protective cover for it. I'm one of those, however, who really don't fancy shelling out a pile of cash for an official Amazon case.
I got
this Tuff-Luv carry-case a few days ago, but wasn't really impressed by it all - little enough I've decided to send it back. It was described (on Ebay, anyway) as being a 'hard shell' case, except it was anything but 'hard'. It also just felt and looked pretty cheap. If anyone's had a positive experience of it, let me know and I might just change my mind; but another demerit is that the Kindle 3 is a
very tight fit inside the case, and I don't want to have to struggle at yanking the damn thing back out when I'm out.
I was thinking of swapping it for this instead,
an Eco-nique 'Hemp' brown patterned cover. As you'll see, its Amazon reviewers have given it rave reviews. The only thing that makes me hesitate is that it's from the same company that sold me the case I didn't like. So again - any satisfied Eco-nique Hemp Brown Kindle cover owners feel like reassuring me it's the biz?
Also - while we're at it - I always used to carry my 505 in its leather case around inside a plastic DVD-style box that kept it reasonably safe from bumps in a shoulder bag while I was on the train or bus. The Amazon's just a bit too long to fit inside it. Any ideas for some kind of box - pencil box, tin, whatever - that would fit the Kindle?
