So I've gone for an extremely durable case at a fraction of the cost: the Eco-Nique natural Hemp in Brown:

It hangs about in my laptop bag full of console cables, power cables, even the occasional tool...and my Kindle is happy as a pig in shampoo. |
Jeremiah,
Thanks for this link!
I've just bought one and its terrific. I originally had a lighted Amazon cover, but just didn't get on with it. It was nice, but it was a bit too heavy and just not right at the time for me.
This cover, while a lot cheaper, has a nice look and feel to it and I've very happy with it - its got much more of a personality. Of course, I'd love to have an integrated light as well but its not essential. I don't really use the built-in flap or card holder, but they don't get in the way. I thought the button flap might be fiddly, but it hasn't been an issue. There are cutouts for sound on the back - though since I don't play any music/audio books with it I'd much rather have had it without the cutouts. Sometimes hitting the menu button is a little harder than it used to be, but the page turn buttons work great.
I still sometimes slip it out of the case when even the little extra weight feels too much, but no I always keep it in the case whenever its on the move
