Any cool covers out there?

xg4bx · 07-28-2011, 07:18 PM

I'm surprised that I haven't come across any cool cases considering how popular ereaders are. I have a plain black one that I'd like to replace to give my kindle some personality but I haven't found anything suitable. Most are either plain or too "feminine" (no offense).

I'd like one with zombies,robots, a green lantern logo, I don't know, just something with personality that fits my nerdy tastes. I'm surprised that places like Hot Topic or Spencer's doesn't even have anything.

Any suggestions for retailers to check out? I know they make "skins" but I'm really not keen on putting stickers on electronics.

Ooh, but they're not really "stickers." Not like the Garbage Pail Kids stickers I bought in packs when I was a kid. These skins feel great, look great, and remove cleanly. I've got a skin on everything except my Boox M90, and that's only because they aren't available for that unit.

You can also search for "make your own Kindle 3 cover" in any search engine. There's a couple of step by step guides out there to 'make your own'. So, if you want Green Lantern, just find material that has the design you want, and make your own.

If you aren't 'crafty' to make your own (I'm not, I think I failed 'how to use elmer's glue' in Kindergarden), there are several people that'll make you one, if you pay for their time/materials/shipping.

Cool is subjective.

I think the New Yorker covers by M-edge are both classy and cool since I love the New Yorker.
