I like the style of Oberon covers, and actually picked up one design but the price is really one problem to a student. so I decided to buy a simpler cover (real leather too!) which was only $15

Oberon, wait until I get my first job

Despite the nice covers already posted. This is a somewhat cheaper alternative. Four colors available. The price is about 14,99 euro including shipment.

Thanks! I found another I like but Im not so sure about it.

I think it might end up making the Kindle a little too heavy to use for extended periods of time.

yeah, it might be. at first it looked pretty good, but then reading the description with the pockets and so on, it kind of sounds like taking your jr. high notebook to bed. did you check out the gecko covers just above your post? they look interesting

I was actually thinking more of a moleskin-type notebook, since I wasn't sure if there would be room for the spiral binding, but perhaps there is... you'd know better than me.

ok I was at an office supply store yesterday and played with some notebooks and my Oberon K2. here are some photos

My Marware Eco Vue cover (comes in black only) just showed up yesterday. So far I like it with my white K3. I promised I'd post pictures; I'll try to get to that this weekend.

This is my first Kindle cover to hold the device with an all-around pocket with cutouts for the display, ports, buttons and keys. I had a case like that for my Dell Axim a few years ago and liked it, so this feels familiar. I like the protection it offers, because my K3 rides on its side in my messenger bag.

The cover has a slot for very thin objects -- no room for a notebook (some folks care about this). My thought on seeing the slot in photos: "hotel room key." In the summer, perhaps "bus pass." This has borne out. Very thin objects only.

I like the hand-strap a lot. It's one of my reasons for choosing this cover, and is really comfortable and feels secure. Now that I actually have the cover, though, I am as concerned about the durability of its elastic closure as I was when I ordered it. Amazon definitely got that right with its bungee. My Amazon K2 cover is still going strong.

On the whole, I think I prefer the Amazon cover, but didn't want to pay $60 for the lighted one and didn't want to risk messing up my device with the unlighted one. I have two covers for my K2, which I am now giving to my sister -- with the K2 -- after less than 2 years. For such a short period of owning a device I don't want to spend a lot on a cover.

Awesome! Thank you.

Now I have to decide which one I want...

teadonkey · 01-14-2011, 06:05 PM

This is semi-cover related. My boyfriend bought me the standard Amazon lighted cover for Christmas (he knew I was getting a Kindle), and I am totally fine with this cover. I like how it's plain, simple and functional. I'm that sort of person.

I sort of carry my Kindle everywhere with me, though. My life before eReader consisted of always having a paperback book on hand, so when I got the Kindle it made complete sense to continue carrying my books around. Weeell... now I'm looking for a new purse. Of course. But now I need to make sure I get a purse that fits the Kindle in it's cover easily inside! Aw, bummer. That limits my purse shopping.

Anyone have any super great purses that they carry a Kindle around in? I was thinking I might be so lucky as to find a purse that had a nearly Kindle sized COMPARTMENT in it. I'm a big fan of compartments. That's not the necessity, though. It's just nice.

Anyone have any luck with this?

If you like leather purses check out the Fossil Sutter Large Top Zip. There are 2 zipped compartments that'll hold the Kindle in a cover comfortably.

I only recently started carrying purses, I had always been a backpack sort of gal. I carry the hobo bag types of purses because of the variety of things I DO end up carrying. more often than not it is full of telephone tools as opposed to girly stuff. but it ALWAYS has a kindle in it!

teadonkey · 01-14-2011, 08:43 PM

Y'know, I used to be into leather purses, but lately I've just become worried about ruining them and it takes away the enjoyment factor of having a cute purse. I've gotten very into Vera Bradley, though.

With the hobo bags, do you ever find that you've scratched your Kindle case/the Kindle? My main worry about having it free floating in my purse is damage to the pretty case.

I have an Oberon cover and am quite frankly eager to have it age and look well loved. they are so darn sturdy that nothing has marked it at all!
