Akron, I am much in the same situation with my own Kindle. The device itself seems sturdy enough, but I have always this irrational fear that are beautiful, but strangely static screen saver by famous authors stared at me, or me with their cold, dead E Ink eyes and beckoned me to her books to read. Unfortunately, all Kindle cases that I have ever seen and tried a number of serious disadvantages.
Let’s start with the cases available from the Amazon store. The majority of cases, they still sell for the second-generation Kindle that will not fit your device, you need only to ignore the completely. In the left sidebar you can select your Kindle model, and you will see only relevant results.
Amazon even provides two cases for the Kindle, that are essentially identical: both are leather and come in a variety of colors, with a microsuede interior and straps and bands for your readers from sliding around or worse, to keep out. The base model is $ 35, add an on-board light, and the whole package costs $ 60.
Now if the Kindle costs $ 400, jumped $ 35 – $ 60 for a decent quality case and $ 50 for a two-year warranty had a kind of logic as well as Garmin nuvi 275/275T. But I do not remember the woman from the new Kindle poolside ad bowed and said: “It’s a Kindle. $ 139. I paid about as much to them.” That would be a really stupid commercial for the case and the warranty.
Even my friends who love her and want her beloved cases Kindle e-readers in the best wrap having problems with Amazon’s cases. All agree that the light can be useful, especially outdoors at dusk and sometimes in bed at night on the $ 60 case. Everyone agrees that there are also a lot of weight added, the overall package, turn the light-as-a-feather e-reader in an awkward issue.
That leaves you two options: Go for broke with a high-end case, or be broken, and actually find something cheap and easy. The Cole Haan Hand-Stained Pebble-grained leather case Kindle costs $ 99, and has a great rep carried over from his beloved Kindle 2 cases. But Amazon reviewers complain that Cole Haan saved on strength and quality in order to get their case, the start time for the Kindle in the third
Apparently the Kindle 2 case, an extra patch of leather strengthening the spine, have the added protection and made the Kindle in the case of Cole Haan feel like a high-quality book. Kindle, the company is only one case three times, making the spine stiff and more with less wear. At other points price that perhaps forgivable, but $ 100 is enough to move to loyal users in the bad zone.
The longer is the Kindle 3, the more manufacturers start releasing cases for it. Belkin has been a line of cores in the Amazon shop now that I do not think so, because when I started researching this last week. In particular, many companies are starting to sell sleeves, to the cases that about $ 20.
However, if you plan to go this route, the best tip of all is from Marco Arment Instpaper. In its first look at the Kindle 3, he notes, as opposed to the Kindle’s three rubberized back (in contrast to the earlier version smooth aluminum) and slightly smaller size makes it the first iteration is used to conveniently, without a case. As for a sleeve, his solution is ingenious.
A standard 6 x 10 bubble envelope – the size, would use you to send a DVD in one case – actually makes a decent low-budget Kindle 3 slipcase. And if your goal throw, simply place it in a bag and have basic scratch protection until you remove them, is approved for use, it’s a pretty good solution.
Over time, catch up on the market, prices will begin (I think), come down, and we will get more variety and convenience from our Kindle 3 cases. In the meantime, give this a whirl, if possible, without stopping hard money first. If they do not work for you, you can always come back to it bareback.
