I know of several that are recommended often. I have the M-Edge Leisure Jacket, which I like. The cover comes in several colors, has a clear front with two zippers so it can be opened easily to switch the device on/off, and there's a handy zippered pocket in the back. The Trendy Digital Waterproof Case is lower-priced and popular, and also comes in several colors. There's also the KlearKase for Kindle 3. And some people just use a Ziploc bag to protect the Kindle when around water. I don't know if any of those choices are absolutely water proof, but do give some protection from splashes, etc. |

If none of those are what you had in mind, perhaps others can make further suggestions.

I just can't decide which one to buy. I am headed to Vegas where my hubby will be attending a car show, I thought I would take the opportunity to sit and read at the pool while he is at the car show but I am wondering if taking my kindle to the pool is such a good idea as I will be afraid to leave my kindle unattended at the lounge chair if I want to take a dip in the pool. I guess if I can find a cover that I could take in the pool I might perch in the shallow end and read but no sure I would trust any cover to be 100% water proof.

Yeah I'm not sure what I would do there since I do agree that nothing is 100% waterproof. Well, they might be but I'm not totally sold haha |

I bought the Octovo Tirim Splash Proof Case a couple of months ago when it was on sale at Amazon. Unfortunately, I can't report on it for you, because I haven't used it yet. I bought it for the same reason as you - we are heading to Vegas and Cancun next month, and I wanted to feel safe reading my Kindle by the pool/beach.
I know several other people picked this case up as well - has anyone used it yet? How well does it protect the Kindle from water?

The Trendy case is 100% waterproof. I put papertowels in mine and submerged it in my bathtub. Completely dry.
I do have a problem with it though. After being out in the sun it sticks to my Kindle. The last time I used it I put a folded up tissue in on each side of the Kindle to keep it from sticking. Worked like a charm.
I take mine on a raft into the lake and have never had a problem.

The KlearKases I have seen in person and they look great, seem strong too. Also I've heard nothing but good things. I wish I had one. |
