Ooh--thanks! Cheap AND nice-looking.
Bummer that it comes in just one color (don't want the kids to mix up whose is whose), but I might just get it anyway. We could just use a label maker sticker to identify individual Kindles.
Thanks again!

Cover. I'm clumsy and have dropped it too many times to count.  |

I read my K2 nekkid, so I used a sleeve from JavoEdge. I have just ordered a RooCase from ebay for my Touch. I wanted a way to prop it up, because I read Time magazine every Saturday morning on my Kindle over breakfast. Here is the link: http://www.roocase.com/Leather-Case/cat-c/c103864.htmlIt isn't here yet. So, I have no idea how I am going to like it. Elaine Norman, OK |

I prefer a sleeve. I used to use covers but realized they are just too bulky and heavy and not worth it. I find it much more comfortable to read on my Kindle when it's free of a cover. Someone on Etsy made me this sleeve and I can't wait to get it:  |

^^^ What a gorgeous print!
And yeah, what she said here too. I went the Oberon & Noreve route, tried lighter cases too, and found I just plain preferred to use my Kindle bare. Same goes with my iPad. I have sleeves for taking the devices out of the house, but at home,I just use them as they were designed to be used, without any kind of cover. I do skin them with matte finish skins to enhance their grippability, but that's all.

I have my Touch in a cover. I fold the cover back when reading, and clip the light on the cover. The cover is light and I can slip myhand between the cover front and back for one hand reading.
For my Fire I have a sleeve, but have a cover ordered. Not sure if I will keep the cover or not. I love the Vera Bradley sleeves and could not resist ordering!

I've always prefered sleeves to cases - I just never could get used to reading with the case. I really like the Waterfield sleeves ( www.sfbags.com). I've already preordered a sleeve for my KTouch and a smart case for my Fire. I posted these in another thread, but I'll repost them because it seems appropriate   I love the Waterfield cases, and am considering ordering the smart case for my Fire. Does anyone actually have one yet? Does the case actually fold all the way back so you can hold it in one hand? |

I am a diehard leather cover guy. But when I got my Baby K4 I wrestled for a bit on whether to get another Oberon cover or their sleek and sexy sleeve. The cover ended up winning, but not by much.  |

I'm a cover fan myself, at least for reading/media devices. Amazon's leather cover with built-in light has served me very well with the Kindle "Keyboard." When I take the unit out, it does feel light, but I don't feel like I can grip the naked unit comfortably without putting my hands on the screen. I'd prefer not to do that.
I paid way-too-much for the Marware CEO cover for my Kindle Fire. I don't regret it for the weight and design of the cover, but I can't help but feel I suckered myself out of $45 for something that should've been $25 tops.
I also like how some covers make a Kindle resemble a datebook. Maybe I'm just exercising wishful thinking here, but I feel if I leave my "datebook" sitting on a table someplace for a second, people won't pay it any mind and think "Ooh, free Kindle!"

Not sure which case you're refering to Jane. I'm pretty sure all the Waterfield designs are sleeves, not cases, so they don't "fold" at all. I do have a Fire Smartcase out for delivery but it's not here yet. |

I've done the route of all the super cases. The last case I owned that I REALLY REALLY REALLY liked was the Noreve for the K2. After that, the Noreve design went downhill IMHO.
I have Amazon's unlit and lighted case for the K3, sometimes they were used, sometimes they weren't.
Started out using the K4 nekkid with the Amazon sleeve when I took it out of the house however I hated looking at the stoopid ads all the time and ended up with the Amazon unlit case. Subsequently bought out on the ads too. I LOVE that case. I know many people think it's flimsy (it isn't) and overpriced (most definitely) but I still love it. Love the rubber enclosure that holds the Kindle. Feels very protected and the leather covering that, although thin, adds just the right touch to the case.
Looked and looked at cases for the Fire and decided it could have a sleeve for travelling but at home it remains nekkid. Thanks to Pushka (I think) for your remark about the RooCase sleeve covering up too much of the Fire cause that is what I was going to buy. I'm wondering about perhaps an easel of some sort for viewing video, cookbooks, etc. but nothing fixed, leather or expensive. Just something to hold it upright in the viewing position.

I got my custom made sleeve today and love it! She also makes them with a pocket on the left side if you want.   |

I'm now a proud owner of that beautiful case too, NYCKindleFan. Thanks for giving me her info; I never would have found her on etsy...so many sellers!!!  I'm probably going to have her make me a larger case, too. I just wish she had more of that same fabric (she said she is out). I'll just have to look around. Congrats on your new case/sleeve! |

I just made the switch from the Amazon Lighted Cover to a Timbuk2 sleeve. I like reading my Kindle without a case and got tired of taking the Kindle out of the lighted cover so I bought the sleeve. I am much happier. The only issue is that now it looks like I'm carrying a clutch atround with me instead of a black leatherbound book. It wouldn't be a problem if I wasnt a 6'/220 lb guy. lol
