Last night I told my husband I needed to buy a new cover for my Kindle. He said "Huh? I just bought you a cover for your Kindle, why do you need another one??" So I had to explain that I needed a cover for my cover! "I just spent $80 on your cover (Oberon), doesn't it protect your Kindle?" Then I have to explain that I keep my Kindle in my purse, and I have to protect my beautiful cover from getting scratched. I also have to prevent various objects from wedging between the cover and Kindle, thus scratching the screen. "So now you need a cover for the cover for the Kindle? You're killing me here!" Sorry, hun, when you drop $250 on the Kindle and $80 on a beautiful cover, you have to protect them. It's your fault, you coulda went with a cheaper cover!  |

LOL--and this is exactly why I don't miss my Oberon. I can throw my Noreve--even more expensive than the Oberon--directly into my purse and not have to worry about it getting messed up. With the Oberon, I had to have it covered all the time. It was already larger than the Noreve is, so by the time I put a BB bag on it, I had to use an even bigger purse...which of course, I also had to buy! Having said that, you'll love the BB bags. They're an even bigger addiction for me than covers were in the beginning. I'm up 7 now, two travel bags, one original ereader bag, one Naked Kindle sleeve, two of her Let's Do Lunch purses, and a custom camera bag she made for me.  |

You need a little padded bag to put your Kindle in its cover into. Like mine...  I got it from seller "Sakizome" on Etsy. It's a custom size, made to fit my Kindle in its purple cover, as you can see. Works great! |

Wait until you have to have a bag for the cover for the cover. My kindle is in a purple ROH, which is in a BB Purple Haze kindle sleeve, which is carried around in a BB Purple Haze Medium Hobo bag.

What you need is a Vera Bradley Bowler bag... It has a large soft comfy zippered pocket inside the bag, perfect for your Kindle in an Oberon Design cover............... I'd never owned a Vera Bradley bag until some enablers on this board introduced me to this particular bag in the VB line. I now have 3.... 2 bought on a super clearance on the VB website and one from eBay. I put my small regular purse in the main compartment, the Kindle in the zippered section, small items like book lights, gum, and lipsticks in the pockets inside... I still have room for a travel mug and workbooks for my classes inside... and another huge zippered pocket on the outside back that holds a notepad sometimes.... the two front pockets are perfect for my cell phone and keys. I'm getting so organized, I can't stand myself.......... LOL and the bag is washable once the insert is removed from the bottom........ |

OMG!! You guys are such enablers! Those Borsa Bella bags are amazing. I have got to have one of the "travel" ereader bags. I've been looking for the perfect bag to carry my Kindle, iPod, phone and such all in one place. Thanks to you guys, I've found it now. |

Once you get a cover for the cover for your K, you're probably going to need a new purse, too, don't you think? |

I put my Kindle 2 in it's cover in a neoprene sleeve. Because of the Oberon cover's size, you might need something the size of a 7" or 10" netbook sleeve, but I have had no problems what so ever with this arrangement.
Wal Mart, Costco, the office stores, and so on, they all want to get rid of accessories cheap which are no longer selling because the market has moved on to a different product, which requires all new accessories be made for it.
Measure your Oberon cover and them go looking for the right sized sleeve to fit it. Even if you have a little extra room, you will still be better off than you are now.

Thank-you Amazon for the Kindle, I am reading print again after being away from it for 15 years because of decreasing vision. I never walk out my front door without my Kindle DXG and Fire, they have been both liberating and life changing for me. Thanks again. Sincerely, Gene

Well, you should take a look at the J'tote's to carry around your BB bag with the Oberon covered Kindle inside... www.jtotebags.com |

Evolution of a Kindle...
Buy a Kindle (super exciting era)
Order a skin (can't have a naked Kindle with fingerprints) (fun era)
Buy a Case (big-time decision) (changing era)
Must have a bag (does it fit inside with a cover) Design era
Need a handbag to carry all of above (happy era)
My story was:
Kindle 2
DecalGirl
Book Gem to hold it upright
Javo Edge Sleeve, M-edge, 2 Oberons
Borsa Bella large e-reader
J'Tote
Cost? I don't want to know! And let's not forget about the cost of the 10+ pages of books already loaded! ha ha ha! Yep, that's my cycle of Kindle evolution!

I am eyeing these, as a cover for my cover. They told me they'd be glad to customize it to fit over my Oberon for $3 extra. I love their fabrics: http://www.etsy.com/shop/RogueTheory |

My husband was very confused when he saw my Oberon cover, since he had given me a perfectly good black Amazon cover along with my Kindle for Christmas. One day I decided to do a little googling for Kindle accessories and found my way here. Yikes. One decal girl skin, one Oberon cover (oh, and an Oberon journal for kicks), one Borsa Bella Bag, and a J'Tote messenger bag later, I don't even want to add up what that google search has cost me. And I'm just getting started. Totally worth it, though. I love beautiful accessories, and you all have good taste. This morning I found a pen mark on my Borsa Bella bag, which clearly came from the inside of my purse, but I have no idea how that rogue pen got there. I also found ground up goldfish bits on the BB bag, and have a VERY good idea on how those were at the bottom of my purse (thank you, 4 year old) So, the cover for my cover came through. I'd much rather work at getting a pen mark off my BB bag then my beautiful Oberon cover. |

The Vera Bradley Bowlers really are great for putting your cover in a cover; that inner zip pocket is quilted and is perfect for the Kindle, and the handbag opens really wide so that you can see and access everything so easily; it is one of the best organized bags I've had (and I LOVE bags); (2 Bowlers since joining EnableBoards!) MAGreen mentioned the j'tote, which are also fabulous; I have 3, but they are a bit larger, more for a computer; they do make a couple smaller sizes, waiting till June till they bring their Melania out again. They are some of the most beautiful bags out there. So many choices to consider!

I love all the pockets and organizational features of the bowler, but I find that the one handle always falls off my shoulder and it drives me nuts! Does anyone have any solutions for that?

Vera Bradley should have made the handles longer. I've noticed that the length of the double handles on the regular Betsey are longer than those on the Bowler. But the Bowler is great for carrying kindle and other things.
