MtCoco, you need to go to Accessories.  We have LOTS of discussions of purses there!

In fact, I'll go ahead and move that thread there so the accessories enablers can do their jobs. .  . .

W-E-L-L.....

There are LOADS of options out there for carrying Kindle around.  A favorite around here is BorsaBella.com.  Melissa has several styles of bags that are made for Kindle.  My favorite is her Kindle Travel Bag.  I have the "Twilight" fabric.

Lately, I have been using my Vera Bradley Bowler bag in Mediterranean Blue to carry my Kindle around.  My work has gotten to where I have a few books/papers I need to bring home so I use it for that as well as my little Acer Netbook.  The Kindle in it's Oberon cover, fits perfectly in the inside pocket.

I know that there will be LOADS more comments, so have fun in your purse search!!  I never leave home without my K2 Roarke!!!

I usually have my K1 in its cover in a Borsa Bella basic kindle bag and stick that into a tote.  When I use a larger handbag, I put it in there.

www.Levenger.com also has great leather totes and handbags that offer a lot of support.  They have sales.  I believe they also have an eBay outlet store.

 Oh~ thank you for all ideas!!!  I do have a BorsaBella Kindle Travel Bag, Oberon , Oberon cover and M-edge Latitude jacket... but
the purse or tote that I put in....   
      I think I have to get Tote bag that big enough for my K2 with cover to fit in.
I have Hobo bag that I'm using now  but it's more for summer bag and it fit K2(with M-edge Latitude red case )
 sooo I'll check other web site too and find me nice Tote bag for this winter!!!!

Lately I've been using a black nylon Baggallini tote.  I put my gym things into a drawstring nylon Baggallini bag and put that into the tote too.  I was going to post a picture, but ebags only has the crinkle nylon ones that are bit heavier.

I also have some Longchamps totes in large and medium sizes that my kindle (in Borsa Bella bag) fits into nicely.  They cost a lot more than the Baggallini totes.

I had been searching for the "perfect" purse to accommodate my kindle too. I finally found one at Kohls. It is a Sienna Ricchi belted shopper -

http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/handbagsaccessories/brandsforhandbags/siennaricchi/PRD~511840/Sienna+Ricchi+Milan+Belted+Shopper.jsp.

It has a zippered compartment in the center that my Kindle with Oberon cover fits very nicely in. I'd like to have one of the Borsa Bella travel bags, but since I usually carry a purse anyway a Kindle pocket made more sense for me.

I always make sure my purse will fit a Kindle.  Now that I have a DX, I have go a little bigger.  Here is my Purse, The picture shows it with a Amazon cover but now I have a red Noreve,


Here it is with my Dx inside

Me too. My purse MUST hold a bottle of water and my Kindle. I also carry keys, my wallet, and other miscellaneous stuff, too.

because I commute on public transport and frequently read while standing up and hanging onto a handhold I only carry crossbody bags that have an outside pocket big enough for my kindle (in it's case) to fit into so that I can get it out and put it away easily. I have one by Toscani and one by J-tote. I will have to say though I am not overly enamored with either bag. The Toscani works the best, but the crossbody strap is a little to narrow so not as comfortable as I would like. The J-tote, although beautiful, is not holding up well with daily use.

I use a Timbuk2 classic messenger bag. It's perfect for my needs. Here's more info in case you'd like to check them out:

I carry my kindle2 in oberon cover everywhere with me in my black leather fossil "slouch" purse. I got it off ebay for 9.00 or so, and the kindle fits either on end or on one edge in the side compartment. In the middle zipper compartment I carry my fat wallet and cell phone, and the smaller pocket on the front I carry my keys. Of course there's other junk in there too.

My only purse criteria for new purses has been "does the K2 fit?"  LOL  I'm currently carrying a Coldwater Creek purse from a few years ago.  I generally prefer a purse that has a pocket or section about the right size to hold the Kindle by itself, since I've got the phone/keys/wallet, etc. in there, all of which are likely to add additional scuffs & such to the cover.  A tote with no pockets or sections is about the worst way I can think of to carry a Kindle as they get jounced around against everything else in there.  To me, that's just a recipe for a cracked screen, even with a good cover.

I have two Borsa Bella travel bags that have seen a lot of use this summer, and I'm thinking about getting a third.  They're great if you're willing to really streamline down what you're carrying.  Mine went all over the country & beyond this year, and I received plenty of compliments on them--but I had to buy a new slim wallet just to use with those, because I couldn't carry a regular one in there.

I like having organization pockets or sections in a bag, but the Borsa Bella bag in the tote keeps the kindle and its cover from being scratched or otherwise damaged.

Agreed--but I hate having to have an accessory for an accessory.     Don't get me wrong, I have four K2 BB bags (naked Kindle, original, 2 travel bags), plus I had Melissa make a special gadget bag for my camera.  They're that good!  I love them, and there are probably a few more in my future, but I don't like having to carry something extra just so I can carry the Kindle safely.  To retrofit an existing tote, it's a great option.  But if I'm buying something new, at this point I'm typically opting for something that has a premade place for the Kindle to sit by itself rather than having to plan on adding my own protection for it.

 I agree with you that one!!!   now I make sure to bring my K2 everywhere everyday just in case happen to find great purse to carry WITH K2 

   

I have two Borsa Bella travel bags .

I have one also.. but my purse didn't fit that bag... T_T 

[scrappergirl]

I have a fossil similar to this - wow you got a great buy on that one.  I never thought of carrying my Kindle 2 in it.  My purse is usually full of so much junk doesn't leave room for much else.  I have a BB travel bag that I keep my kindle in.  I usually store it in a zip lock bag (after my mishap with a rental and the back floor board was holding water).  I also take the bus to work so everything goes into a big bag.

I use the Maxpedition Fatboy:

It lets me carry all the rattle-y boy-stuff I require, and provides a handy place for concealed carry. A small automatic or revolver fits perfectly. I realize you were looking for a purse, but I just hadda stick my nose in....

I just bought a purse for the winter: Fossil Sasha large zip bag. Very cute, crossbody bag. Hold Kindle in oberon cover very nicely! As well as my wallet, iphone, makeup bag, etc. Has many compartments! Love it! Will also work well when traveling. I did look at the Fossil Sasha crossbody bag, but it was too small and Kindle didn't fit in there very well. It would go in, but it took a lot of work, was worried kindle could break, and it wasn't easy to get my kindle out of it!


there is the link to see the pic....couldn't figure out how to put the pic in here!

Melissa, I fixed your link.

If you want to add an image, put the img tags before and after the link, like this:

Code:

[img]http://www.zappos.com/images/z/1/0/2/1028867-p-MULTIVIEW.jpg?20091006150349[/img]

You can click on the little icon, 3rd from the left above the smileys, that looks like a picture.  It will put the tags down, then click between and paste the link.  Or, paste the link, then highlight it and click the img icon.

Give it a try!
