Red face I'm going naked
I liberated my kindle dx graphite from its case.

this thing is no rinky dink sony. brushed metal back; looks like a gosh darn home appliance.

i only live once. the weight of the case is actually negligible, but it's so much easier to use, naked, also cool to the touch.

i'll carry it in a paper bag.

I really don't think is a good idea. eInk devices are fragile. It's an expensive mistake if you break the screen. I would (and do) always keep them in a sturdy case.

i may think better of it in the morning. a bit tired. seems like an amazing idea right now, though. i just think it's a shame to keep that handsome backside covered up.

I keep my nook color in a case....but take it out to read it.

The case actually did nothing to preserve my nook color when I dropped it while falling asleep LOL. It's got a nice ding in the corner

He could always wear it around his neck on an attractive - then people could have fun sneaking up and shouting "Look out !!" or "Oi! Is that a kindle?"very loudly .......... 'specially near lamp-posts and the like.

Be a bit like self-inflicted Thugee...............

Harry's right - if you'm rich, liberate it, and order a few for spares, or cosset it in it's duvet if you'm poor.........


'Course, if they made the things shock-proof etc... there wouldn't be a problem.

I use my K3 almost exclusively without a case. The only time it is in the lighted case is when I need the light or I am traveling.

I hope you won't get too upset if your DX breaks and without a cover, it has a greater risk of breaking.
