Accessories Back-only case for PW6

[Waylander]

I was wondering whether anyone had any suggestions for a case for my PW6 that only covers the back of the device and doesn't have a cover. I'd like something that makes it grippier to hold, but don't want a flip cover for the screen.

Why don't you want some protection for the screen? If you take your PW6 out of the house, you'll want the screen protected.

Because I don't put the Kindle where it can be scratched. And the normal covers make the device to heavy for me to hold with my hands the way they are.

This is the kind of thing I had in mind https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09MLZC9TJ...BRJPW61_0?th=1

Stick a rubber or cork mat to the back.

The only reason for a cover is to protect a screen.

Not so! Another reason for a cover is because it makes the Reader easier and better to hold.

I wanted something to make the back of my Oasis less slippery and easier to hold with one hand, and I wound up applying a "skin" to the back. These are sold in many places on line, and come in lots of designs and colors. I just used a plain silver one which had a nice texture, which worked perfectly. It stayed in place for all of the nine years I had that Oasis, and still looked new when I sold it and replaced it with a "Signature" edition, which seems to have a nice soft feel on the back and does not have that slippery feel.
I have a serious leather case from Oberon (from a previous Kindle) that I use when I am out and about or traveling and want some serious protection, but that's not too often.

This is what I found after doing some searching. Will be useful for my current PW6, and also for the Signature Edition if I decide to get it, as it has a metallic back so is more slippery. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/356496767...&segname=11401

IMHO, silicone is not going to feel nice when holding a Reader.
