In response to the last three posts:
I ordered the following product yesterday, so I can confidently take my Kindle 2 to the pool with me. I'm not planning on jumping in with it, though tests show I could. I just don't want to risk it getting splashed, or dripped on.

I'll let you know if it fits (says it's for devices up to 8.5" by 5.5", the Kindle 2 is 8" by 5.3") and how it works. I WILL be testing the bag with tissue paper first to verify the seal integrity. I'm paranoid that way.
And in response to the OP, I carry mine (in it's Amazon leather case) everywhere I go in my leather backpack-style purse. It's in the back pocket, and I sling my purse around a bit in the car (it's even fallen off the seat into the floorboard several times) with NO issues. I also have an iPod touch in the purse, as well, and no issues there, either.
All my other electronics (Touch, cell phone) have Invisible Shields on them, but the screen cover just wouldn't work at all for the Kindle (too shiny.) I've got a skin on it from
http://www.3acp.com/3acp.htm (mine is KindleSK-43, it's gorgeous!) and the ease of application is like no skin I've ever seen before!
They come with all pieces attached to a clear sheet that's about half an inch wider than the skin itself all the way around, so all you have to do is grab a friend to hold two corners, you take two corners, and line the thing up. Press it down, and peel the clear covering off. No skin oil or fingerprints under the skin itself, and the skin has little air channels to help you avoid bubbles.
