Cheap Kindle covers?

[cdrn1]

I just pre-ordered the new wifi kindle and the price was great but the COVERS!!!! Crazy to pay half as much as the Kindle cost. Is there anyplace to get a good cheap cover? The ones on Amazon are $50+!

Not sure what your criteria of cheap is, but you can try this sight. They are less than $50 at least. I have one of these, they are great. Problem is most places haven't had a chance to get them made for the new style yet.

Try the link someone posted - medgestore.com.

I have M Edge leather covers for all my Kindle and iPad products and I love them. I think it's well worth it to invest in a nice sturdy cover - even though the price seems high when compared to the new lower cost of your Kindle, it's still a bargain compared to cracking your screen!

I purchased mine on Etsy very inexpensive, and I was able to customize...

I love my Oberon. Cheap, no... very durable and worth the money, YES.

If you're looking for something lower cost you might want to hold off for a couple of weeks. Most of the 3rd party suppliers won't be selling a cover for the K3 until after release of the K3 because they need to get a K3 in their hands in order to design the covers. From what I understand the K2 covers aren't going to work well for the K3 because the of the change in dimension.

Until then, a padded mailing envelope works great at keeping a Kindle safe in your purse.

Thanks everyone! I have plenty of options now and a month to make up my mind!

I agree with all of that! And bubble wrap envelopes are the Kindle testers' Kindle-protection of choice as they wait.

I would definitely wait until the 3rd party suppliers can start to design cases specifically for the K3. At this point except for the cases Amazon is selling with them we have no way of knowing if any of the cases on the market will actually fit.

In the mean time you can order a Borsa Bella e-reader bag to put it in while you wait.

I second this- the Oberon covers are gorgeous, luxurious, and will last forever! The feel and smell of leather can't be beat. I have the "Roof of Heaven" version on my Kindle:
