Kindle 2 Cover, what kind?

[taximomfor4]

Mom got me a refurb Kindle 2 (not DX, I think), for a combined birthday/early Christmas gift. I took it out of the house ONCE so far, and got a nice sized scratch on it. SO I guess I have to spring for a cover to protect it so I can toss it in my purse!

WHat is a decent cover? Where to buy from? Has to be pretty cheap, because I technically shouldn't be spending anything extra right now...I just don't want to further ruin such an expensive gift.

I have the Oberon - which certainly wasn't cheap but it does look really nice and it holds the Kindle well. I think I've dropped my Kindle about 23 different times and it hasn't broke yet.

I think many people like the M-Edge ones that you see on the Amazon pages. Those are cheaper.

My son has a Patogonia nylon one and I'll tell you I don't like it. His kindle is always slipping out of those straps.

You know, there are tons of people who just get a padded mailing envelope that they use while they save the cash to buy a nice cover. That'll work.

I have the basic Amazon Kindle leather cover on my K2 I got for mother's day. $30 -Works great and the Kindle snaps right in.

Welcome to the Kindle addiction

Yep!

I also have a neoprene sort of fabric cover, it was cheap. But if you sew, I'd think about making my own with that fabric and a fat zipper.

OP here. Thanks for the input. Bumbershoot, I don't sew -- I used to but I'm hopeless with those sorts of tasks, hehe.


I ended up ordering an M-Edge one. It was like $29.99. More than I felt I should spend this month, but the cats and kids are going to mess my new kindle UP if I don't carry it in something good!
