I have been studying this issue for a while. I have checked out every cover available in Amazon (My engineering background means I tend to over study things.)
1. Protection is the important thing. I like a Folio folding case that completely covers back and front for that reason. There are light thin covers and thicker heavy covers. Soft cases, hard cases, designer cases.
A very wide choice.
2. More protection! Get a case with with a strap or a ring (yes there is one) on the back (when opened.) You can then hook your hand or finger through it and it won't fall out of your hand onto something hard.
By the way you can add a strap to any case with a bit of elastic and some glue.
Also a screen cover might be desirable. Some cases have them included, but you can add one very cheaply.
3. Most cases will allow the device to be put on a table in the landscape (wider dimension in the horizontal) position. Some allow both portrait and landscape. If your reader is a tablet type (like a Fire) and you wish to type on it then a low angle (15 to 35 degrees) landscape capability is preferred.
4. A wake up mechanism in the case is nice as is a good closure device. An elastic strap is also a sure closing device.
I would venture that with a little shopping you can get something serviceable like you want at Amazon probably for less than $16 or $20 and certainly for less than $30 to $35. I priced a simple Fire HD8 case at Best Buy for $39.
However if you want you can spend far more than the cost of the reader on the case.
