Howdy,

My mother loves her kindle to death...literally. She uses it all day long off and on and likes to take it with her in her pocketbook when she is out and about. She picks my nephew up from school and likes to read while she waits in the giant pickup conga line. She has the leather amazon cases to protect the screen but invariably she still ends up breaking the screen.

She is on her 6th kindle right now and I am hoping for some suggestions I could pass on to help her make the new paperwhite model last a while. The latest got a cracked screen in her pocketbook even though she had it in the leather case. She has had a couple break from small falls onto the bed or from the bed onto the floor. She has been extra careful to not drop them past couple of kindles. I want to tell her to not put the kindle in her pocketbook at all with the heavy wallet and other junk in there...it seems counter-productive. I know she is going to want too though because like I said she takes it everywhere with her.

Does anyone know of a case that could actually provide protection in that kind of scenario? It would be ideal to find some kind of case that can withstand the dreaded pocketbook! The glass backed screens are kinda fragile so I don't know what to suggest.

Thanks!!
