Kindle Covers and Cases

The Kindle Reader is a pretty tough cookie. But, to keep yours in pristine condition it pays to buy a cover or case. These keep dust out of course, but also add a little more protection from knocks when you are on the move.

There is a huge range of Kindle Covers and Cases to choose from. Depending on your use of the Kindle, whether it is used primarily at home or on the commute will help determine the best cover to choose. Some come with integral stands so you can use them both to protect and provide a lecturn for easy reading at a table or desk.

Designs vary hugely but one thing that is certain is that Kindle Covers and Cases are an economical way of ensuring your Kindle Reader keeps you entertained and informed for years to come.

Some of the most popular Kindle Cases currently are from the Tuff Luv range, available for many types of ebook reader, they produce great Kindle 3 Covers as well as others for older generations of the reader, plus of course some great Kindle DX covers.

They are as the name suggests pretty tough and guaranteed to keep your Kindle safe from harm. But for the less traditional of you out there, there are also many cool and funky Kindle Covers to choose from.

Currently the best selling cases for The Kindle are all from the Tuff Luv Range. Hand made from quality leather they are durable yet soft and stylish too. All the Tuff Luv leather Kindle Covers come with a lifetime guarantee, so you know they will keep your portable reader safe and snug for years to come.

As the latest Tuff Luv Kindle 3 Covers are only just starting to be shipped there aren't many reviews yet. But, looking at the response to the products at amazon.com for both the 2nd and 3rd Generation Kindle, makes for good reading. With comments such as:

^{Super price on a great, soft leather case. Straight, even stitching. Sturdy design with light padding to protect from bumps. Kindle 2 slides down into top pocket and fits snug, so it's not sliding around. Well thought out design -- no controls are blocked by case. Can be charged with cover snapped closed. Headphone jack and volume controls are accessible with cover closed as well. Small, circular openings are on back to allow for sound to come through. The top flips back easily and rests flat against the back of the case, or you can use the stand for hands-free reading.}

Knowing you can still access all the controls is critical for ease of use. With a significant purchase such as The Kindle we certainly do not want to make life difficult with an awkward or poorly designed case.

Tuff Luv produce various styles of cover for the Ebook Reader. The most popular thus far is the Napa Leather Book Style Cover in black shown above. This is the one for those who want some protection for their Kindle on the move, but also want it to look stylish. It makes reading easy, with great access to all the necessary controls.

Being a book style case it is not quite as secure as some of the other Tuff Luv Kindle cases. Overall reviews are favorable, with most agreeing the reader fits snugly. But as with any customer review experiences differ and whilst one customer review said the following, another one suggested that turned upside down the Kindle could slide out.

^{It snaps closed securely, and it holds the Kindle in place. I turned it upside down and gave it a shake, and my Kindle stayed in. All the buttons are easy to touch as they aren't covered.}

This then is a great case for protecting the reader when in use and when held securely or placed in a bag. Customers seem to like the ´filofax´styling, with holders for pen, papers and business cards. Definitely a good all round case for using and transporting your Kindle.

In the US this Flip Style Tuff-Luv Napa Leather Case with Stand is by far the most popular. It is more secure with extra fastenings, and of course doubles as a lecturn, or bookstand. Though still completely portable this is a particularly good case for those that enjoy 'hands free' reading.

The stand does not prove a hindrance, being light and simple to clip back flat for when you wish to hold your Kindle for reading. The option of standing the reader though can make reading far more comfortable particularly useful for long study periods or for those who simply enjoy reading till their eyes will read no longer!

As the cover clips securely over the reader customer reviews are even more favorable for this Flip Style Stand cover than the Book Style version. Comments such as this mean there is probably little left to say:

If you are looking for a secure cover for your Kindle that lets you get to all of the controls without removing the Kindle and a stand feature as well - this is the cover for you.

If you like the styling but don't want a leather cover, check out their Eco-Nique Kindle covers that are made of soft, durable and Eco friendly hemp material.

Cool & Funky Tuff Luv Kindle Cases

Their best selling Kindle Cases are the two black cases shown, above. But, hot on their heals are some more youthful designs.

Still durable, handmade from leather and with a lifetime guarantee, these bring a touch of fun to the Ebook Reader. As Tuff Luv have been producing stylish and durable covers for both the Kindle DX and a wide range of other handheld electronics the range of Kindle Covers and Cases from them is sure to grow as more customers buy the Kindle 3.

At the moment there are only a few designs to choose from (but racing green, bright red and baby pink covers are widely available). But Tuff Luv produce a wide range of fun, brightly colored and patterned cases for mobile phones, notebooks and other electronic book readers so are sure to improve the variety of designs available to Kindle 3 owners shortly.

This is good news as interesting and fun covers are sure to be a great gift idea in the future for book lovers who already have their own (or will be receiving a gift) Kindle Ebook Reader

Lightweight Tuff Luv Kindle Covers

In addition to leather cases, Tuff Luv also produce lightweight silicon and polycarbonate cases. Superb for protecting the reader whilst in your bag or when reading on the move. They incorporate an anti-static coating whilst keeping all controls within easy reach. These are available in both black and white. Some customers suggest reading against teh contrast of a black surround is easier. Both offer simple protection against scratches and dust and are ample for those who tend to carry a bag into which they will put their reader when on the move.

There are also "faux" leather, Saddleback leather and Hemp versions of the entire Tuff Luv Kindle 3 cover range.
