Question What do you keep yours in?
I'm waiting for my Kindle to be delivered, and this morning I received the case I bought for it.

I've seen various people on here mention that they have an Amazon case, and one person said they keep their e-reader in a PVC pencil case. Someone at my local Linux User group keeps theirs in a jiffy bag. So, I'm curious, what do you keep yours in?

I have mine in a netbook case. Fits perfectly. Quite convenient.

I voted more expensive case. Technically right now I have my Kindle 3 in an Amazon case but I am sending it back today because I ordered an Oberon case last week. My nook is in an m-Edge Latitude case.

Why would I keep my sony or BBMini in an Amazon case?

This poll is flawed. The text for the last two options should have been: "standard device cover with light" and "standard device cover without light"...

I made a stand for mine out of electrical wire. Mostly around the house it just sits there waiting till I get back to it.

Then again I don't get out a lot either.

You're right. The poll is flawed. I was originally going to post it in the Kindle section, then thought that it would make more sense to ask everyone, not just Kindle owners, but forgot to change the poll questions to make them more device-agnostic. Sorry

If you would like it moved to the Kindle forum, just say the word.

What I'd really like to do is edit the poll questions to make more sense in this forum, but I don't think that's possible, so yes, please. I may as well avoid annoying non-Kindle owners.

Okily-dokily. As you can see (look up the top!), I've moved it.

And don't worry about how "flawed" it may have appeared. It's almost a universal hobby here on MR such that even the most carefully crafted poll placed in precisely the right forum will have some holes poked in it.

I leave it in the box it came in, and read it without any cover. At least until I receive my $15 cover from Ebay.

I dearly love the Amazon lighted cover.
