I just received my new case, along with cute skins by Decalgirl and my homemade screen savers...now my Kindle is no longer a techie wallflower! Note, I test drove her at a lunch and she was defiantly turning heads!

Octochick, she is beautiful! I am bidding on a case like yours on ebay at the moment. It is the black one and comes with a light. Now I need to decide on a skin.

That is what my bid is for, with free shipping. I tried to find the same on Amazon with no luck. The only one I could find was the blue with no light for the same price. I will check Amazon again. Thanks.

That looks pretty cool.  Does the skin have any effect on the feel and operation of your Kindle?

Thanks Sailor, my Grandfather took that picture, way back during World War I or II? He was on the USS Nevada.

It makes it slightly slicker, I keep it in the case all the time, so I only really touch the front and it really feels normal now. It adds no signifgant size to the K, it is really like a 2nd skin!

Thanks for the compliment, the True Confessions is an actual vintage magazine I did find online and as I said the Sailor pic was taken by my Grandpa. It is a beautiful pic though and I wish I had taken it, going through his photo album I actually think he had a very good eye and like to think I got some of my talent from him.

Where did you get that case for your kindle?  I'm looking on amazon and cant find one like it.  My kindle threw a fit when she saw that case and insists that I get her one like it.  She can't stand to see anyone dressed better than her (she can be a bit of a b****).  Wink

here is a link to mine http://www.amazon.com/MiniSuit-Leather-Amazon-Kindle-Adjustable/dp/B001EW1EPI/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=office-products&qid=1227498132&sr=8-10 though it is currently unavailable. I did see some people who ordered these complain that the color came off onto their Kindle. I have not had this problem, but then I do have a skin on mine. I think this might have been just the red version.

Not currently available, but put it on your wish list and keep checking back. Then snag it when it becomes available. That's how I got my black one.

I have a pink skin, and thought the pink cover might be overkill, thats why I want the green one.

These covers are now back in stock with 5 color choices available.

If you put them in your wishlist you will be able to see the color. For some reason this site will only show the black one.

Mine is being shipped this week!

Oh my, I love this case/cover! I already hate the default cover from Amazon... Angry  I can't get that stupid slot or whatever it is to line up on the back and keep it in the case securely.

It is a pretty good cover, I actually have traded it out for an Oberon, since I posted this but you can find them on Amazon at this link,

Here is my new Oberon, which I love!

Bella has her pretty new skin but now she is really insisting on a new cover. I love the Oberons but can't find a design in blue that suits me. I was thinking M-edge now this this one.................  I need to make my mind up.
