Free Solis Light with Selected OCTOVO Kindle 2 Jackets no comments
OCTOVO is offering a free Solis reading light
with the purchase of select OCTOVO Kindle 2 ereader covers. This includes OCTOVO’s Vintage Leather cover, the Weave Kindle cover and the Quilted cover.
This offer appears to be only at Amazon – not at the OCTOVO site.
OCTOVO also makes a leather and canvas messenger bag in Kindle 2 size that is only $39 and says that it comes
with some sort of bonus case. This looks like a very good bag for the money – if you are looking for this style.
I’ve ordered one of the Vintage Leather Covers for myself. It was supposed to be here yesterday – thanks UPS! I will tell you what I think once I get it.

More Kindle & nook Covers, Cases & Jackets no comments
If you have a nook or Kindle ereader there really are a lot of covers and cases to choose from now. Besides protecting your ereader, finding the right cover is a great way to personalize your reading.
Splash Proof Kindle Case
If you are looking for water and sand resistance but don’t need a full-on water
proof case for your Kindle 2 ereader then the new KlearKase is worth looking at. The KlearKase is made of polycarbonate and is splash and dust proof and also protects against bumps, scratches and drops. This case is designed to be left on your Kindle all of the time – not just when you are reading around the wet stuff.
The KlearKase is not meant to be used if you actually take your Kindle into the water; it would be great for use poolside, while the M-Edge Guardian Casewould be the appropriate choice for actually taking your ereader with you into the pool. Currently the KlearKase
is only available for the 6-inch Kindle and costs $39.99. This is half of the price of the Guardian case if you don’t need the heavy duty waterproofing the M-Edge product provides.
Since this case is clear, you could also use a skin on your Kindle to personalize it. For other waterproof ereader covers and cases see my previous post.
JAVOedge nook Covers & Cases
JAVOedge makes a lot of different cases and covers for the nook.
These come in many styles, but there are a variety of floral prints on canvas or other fabric. Many of the JAVOedge ereader cases are available in either a book style or flip style and there are also sleeve style cases as shown in the picture. Prices are reasonable – mostly ranging from $20 to $40.
Moleskine Kindle Cover
The Moleskine cover is available for both the 6-inch Kindle and the Kindle DX ereaders. It is slim and elegant. The interior is lined with microsuade and four wide elastic bands are use to hold the Kindle in place. The Moleskine cover comes with a reporter-style notebook for note taking. The model for the 6-inch Kindleis $39.99 and the DX size
is $59.99.
OCTOVO Vintage Leather Kindle 2 & Kindle DX Cover
This is one of my favorites – I love old leather.
The OCTOVO Vintage Leather Kindle Caseis lined with microsuade and uses the Kindle hinge plus an elastic band at one corner to hold the ereader securely in place.
With this type of rustic leather each cover will take on its own unique appearance over time. The craftsmanship of these covers is high, and they are somewhat more expensive; $74.99 for the 6-inch Kindle size and $84.99 for the DX size.
Amazon for some reason does not have the Vintage Leather Case for the Kindle DX lately, but you can order it direct from Octovo.

More Kindle Covers no comments
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.
