There are many good reasons why e-book readers buy Kindle cases: to protect the device from bumps and knocks, to express individuality and for a change from dull grey. When looking for a case, make sure you shop for the right model. The Kindle, Touch and Fire aren’t all the same size and the older Kindle Keyboard and DX models differ too.
Many people love the feeling of a book in their hands so the book cover-style case is a big seller. The reader is fastened into the inside back cover, while the front one protects the screen when it’s not in use. The popularity means that there are many to choose from with quality leather cases in every shade, even animal print, antique-look and tooled, embossed leather.
A witty variant on the book-style cover is the false book. Designed to look like the cover of a great classic or anthology, it’s a wry way to express your interests. All these covers are available in cheaper faux-leather options as well as a variety of textiles; some, such as a hemp cover, specifically designed to appeal to eco-minded people. Your book should feel good to touch, so shop around.
The folio-style jacket is ideal if you’re on the move and take your book everywhere with you, reading on the train or while you wait for an appointment. The folio protects the Kindle, may include a wallet and a credit card holder and closes with a secure band. Available in a wide range of colors and materials, some also have a handy wrist strap.
If you like to read at the same time as – for example – eating or knitting then look at the options on cases with stands. Flip top, folio or fold over style covers have inbuilt stands that you can fold out to position the reader at a good angle on a flat surface. They’re made for portrait and landscape format reading.
Kindle readers use e-ink display technology which gives great readability in sunlight although not in low light. Many cases come with a clip-on reading lamp attached to the front jacket or cover top. This gives enough light to read in the dark.
To avoid the bulk of a case opt for a sleeve. Simply slip the reader into the lightweight pouch. The neoprene model is great for travel as it’s low cost and protects against bumps and splashes and is also sold in reversible fabric with a different pattern inside and out – two for the price of one! Silicone sleeves are ultra-thin; the ultimate sleek no-bulk case and lovely to the touch. Jazz up your Kindle with colorful stick on skins, although remember they don’t provide the same protection as Kindle cases – you’ll still need those.
