There are an increasing number of  Kindle covers becoming available to protect and beautify your Kindle ereaders.  There just seems to be something about the Kindle ereader family that makes its readers want to personalize it.  I’ll start with some lower priced covers.

Update: I have moved all the pics to the bottom of the post for formatting purposes.

Mivizu Kindle  Leather Case

The Mivizu leather Kindle 2 coverhas a velvet lining and is very thin and sleek.The top can fold back and be used as a stand.  There are six different colors to choose from.

The Mivizu has no protective padding to protect your ereader in case you drop it, also you will need to lift the cover out of the way to plug in the USB as there  is no opening for the USB plug.  This is an economical cover that adds some protection for $19.95.

Mivizu also has a side-opening Kindle cover for $39.95.  This Generation 2 model uses a slightly pebbled leather and does have some padding.  This cover also comes in different colors and gets 4 1/2 star reviews.

JAVOedge Pink Croc Flip Case

If you are a fan of pink crocodiles  ( and who’s not? ), you will  no doubt love JAVOedge’s Pink Croc Flip Case for  your Kindle ereader.  This cover opens over the top and has a fold out kickstand.  Priced at $49.95, this cover gets 5 star reviews.

JAVOedge also makes a book style case that is side-opening and that sells for $39.95.

CaseCrown Double Memory Foam Pouch Case

CaseCrown’s Kindle caseis lined with memory foam to absorb shocks and is also water resistant.

The outside of this Kindle case has an antique map design and an accessory pocket for your Kindle AC charger, etc.  This case sells for $25.21.

Bobarra

Bobarra makes a variety of Kindle coversin both fabric and leather. Most of these run $54.00.
The fabric covers have a stain resistant exterior, and are lined with microfiber or suede depending on the model.  Bobarra also makes Kindle 1 covers.

Oberon Design

Oberon Design was featured on a recent episode of the excellent Kindle Chronicles podcast and is definitely one of my favorites.

Oberon’s  tooled leather Kindle covers are available in a variety of ornate designs.  The closure buttons on the outside of the covers are made of hand-cast pewter.  The interior is lined with wool felt and there are stiffeners added to the front and back to protect the screen of your ereader.  You can choose from corner straps or a velcro attachment system.

Oberon Design makes cases for Kindle 1, Kindle 2 and Kindle DX ereaders.  The prices are $75.00 for the Kindle 1 and 2 models, and $118.00 for the Kindle DX cover.

There are currently 19 designs available for the Kindle 2.  Each design is available in a choice of two colors (not necessarily the two colors that I show here).  I would like to see more color choices available for each pattern so I inquired  as to whether it is possible to order a design in a color other than that shown.  Becca promptly replied, telling me that they are working on adding custom orders in 2010.

Oberon Design also makes one size of cover for the Sony ereaders that will fit the PRS-600, PRS-700 and the PRS-505.  Covers for the nook are coming in January 2010.

Cole Haan

Cole Haan’s Kindle covers come in several styles, including several with a hand woven leather exterior.  The interior is goat suede.  Quality and craftsmanship are hallmarks of Cole Haan products, and their Kindle covers are no exception.  Prices range from around $100 to $120.  These covers use a Kindle compatible hinge system.

Update: Amazon also has refurbished Kindle covers. The selection varies, but it is definitely worth checking out.
