Okay. Skins. I know they look pretty and keep the white cover plastic clean and that is just wonderful. I also notice they all have cutouts for the little buttons. Why? Is there no reason they can't make a skin that while it has pictures is mostly clear (even if it has some color to it) where the buttons are, that covers them up?
What's bugging me is the sneeze. I clean my computer keyboard once a year and am appalled at all the stuff I find in there, that got in the little spaces. The spaces around the buttons on the kindle are a LOT smaller, but y'all haven't seen me sneeze. The m-edge leisure case had a good idea with the plastic cover, now I don't have that protection anymore.
Do you have to punch the buttons out of decalgirl skins? Can I have 'em with the option to not do that? I am considering the m-edge skin and just cut the flap off the front (that flap bothers me). Or I could wrap my kindle up in saran wrap and put it back in my case...

Decal girl without the holes wouldn't be satsfactory... I think the skins are not flexible enough to let you push keys individually. Of course, if you never use the keys... Plus it would look like hell...

I don't like the cut outs either. I have never used the keys on my Kindle. Would be nice to have that option, but it probably wouldn't fit nicely. Would be nice if the Kindle was keyless and instead used a built-in e-keyboard like the ipad. Oooooh... imagine the pretty skins then! The prettiest part of the skin is the back and nobody ever sees the back of my Kindle. It's always (well almost) in a case. Lately, I've been reading everything on my iPad.

If your sneezes are that potent, maybe you should forget the skin and just go for one of the waterproof clear cases that are available?  |

I always use my keys. How else do you search for items on your Kindle or in the Kindle store?
I would hate mine being covered.

How about a case that is skin-like, but covers the keyboard and side buttons entirely? Only the 5-way has an opening. http://www.medgestore.com/products/kindle2-mskin.pspSomeone on here tried it when it first came out, not too long ago. Search older threads... |

I do all my kindle shopping on my computers. Never have thought of using the Kindle to get Kindle books - what a novel idea! (grin)
Hand over the mouth works for sneezes.

Ginny.. You have not heard?? Never sneeze into your hand.. Since you can pass germs that way.. The CDC now says you must sneeze into the crook of your arm.. Lol.. I remember actually seeing online demos of this last winter so attractive on sleeves |

Maybe your sneezes are as powerful as a compressed can of air. You can sneeze out the stuck debris between those Kindle keys.

Or keep a travel pack of tissue nearby at all time. Maybe they can make a case for you with a side tissue dispenser!  |
