    Kindle Case

    So I love my new toy. I carry Dickens, Wilde, Orwell, you name it in my pocket!

    But I need a case, badly. My fiance wants to buy me http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...A3P5ROKL5A1OLE but it seems quite overpriced, but it's the most elegant solution I've seen available.

    Anyone own this and know if it's worth it? Or anyone know of a similar case at a better price?

    I got the black leather one from amazon for my kindle3, and although the price was hefty to say the least, I simply love it. paid around $50 for it, as far as I recall

    the new covers seem to be a tad less flexible, due to the whole rig you have to span your kindle into, in comparison to the two simple metal hooks of 3rd Gen Covers.

    there's the 30 pound price-range covers for your convenience

    I need the light sadly. She usually falls asleep before me and I don't want a light on that'll upset her sleep.

    I got my Fire for Christmas, with a cover. I don't know the exact one, but it looks like this one:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Amazon-Kindl...6905320&sr=1-5

    Where you slide the Kindle in, it's completely framed all the way around by the leather border. The top flap can be secured closed by an elastic band (like you see on high-end notebooks or journals), and the cover can be folded back the other way to prop it up in a landscape with varying degrees of angle. I like it well enough.

    Note: no light on this one, the Kindle Fire is totally backlit so I don't need one. (I don't know if other Kindles are lit, from the sounds of it they aren't.)

    Nope, hate back lit readers.

    whow there, then don't underestimate the luminance of that little lamp on the kindle-covers

    my generation-3-cover is strong enough to light my bed and about half my student flat if held at the right angle
