      Please Put a Case on Your Kindle

      READER-FRIENDLY

      A Kindle may not be as delicate and breakable as say, an iPhone, but it still deserves some protection.

      Please, for all that is e-readers, put a case on your Kindle. I can't tell you how many times I've dropped this thing while packing and re-packing, while on a crowded subway, while...reading it. I'm so glad that I had a case on this thing, if only for making sure the white face stayed white (even if you can't really see it).

      Dropping a Kindle is not nearly as devastating as dropping a phone, but you can easily crack the screen and damage the pixels. Also, why wouldn't you want to spend an extra $20ish to protect something you invested much more than that in?

      Kindle Oasis Water-Safe Fabric Cover

      If you want a case that can handle a splash or two, this is it. The water-safe fabric cover keeps your Kindle safe so you can lounge by the pool or on the beach without worry.

      Buy at Amazon$40

      CoBak Kindle Paperwhite Case

      This case not only has an automatic wake/sleep feature when you open and close, it also has a waterproof PU leather exterior and anti-scratch microfiber interior. It also comes in over 20 different colors and patterns.

      Ayotu Case for All-New Kindle

      This hard case is durable and ultra slim. It has a no-scratch microfiber interior and a magnetic closure to keep your Kindle protected. Plus, when you open it, it’ll automatically wake your device.

      OMOTON Kindle Paperwhite Case Cover

      If you’re all about saving space, this thin case is for you. Made from PU leather and only weighing 3.2 oz, it’ll keep your Kindle protected without adding any bulk.

      Fintie Folio Case for Kindle Paperwhite

      This was the Kindle case I bought immediately, mainly because it doesn't look like a Kindle case. It looks like a journal or old book, which is much more my speed. It's satisfying to hold and use (the magnet in the edge keeps the cover secure and turns the Kindle on and off) and it comes in multiple colors if red isn't your thing.

      Kindle Paperwhite Case

      A padded, lightweight case is also a good option, complete with elastics on each corner to hold your Kindle in place. It's durable and easy to hold with one hand, as the case cover flips over and folds behind it.

      Buy at Etsy$39

      OtterBox Defender Series Protective Case

      If you don't have the new Paperwhite (which is waterproof), you could just use a ziplock bag or one of those cheap plastic cases to keep your Kindle waterproof, but why not just get a waterproof case? If you plan to travel in the wet weather, or you're an avid bath-reader, a waterproof case is a worthwhile investment.

      Buy at Amazon$69

      MoKo Origami Slim Shell Cover

      If you're looking for something a bit more utilitarian, why not look into this one from MoKo? It easily folds open for one-handed reading, but you can also flip it over twice to reveal an easy-to-use kickstand that can be adjusted to whichever height feels the most comfortable.
