Kindle 3 Covers – Choices Limited for Now

July 31, 2010 No comments yet

In case you haven't heard, Amazon has just released the 3rd generation of kindles for your reading pleasure. The is the Wi-Fi only Kindle 3 and the 3GS & Wi-Fi Kindle 3 that are now available for pre-order. As many soon realize, you want to protect your Kindle 3 with a nice cover.

Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't give other vendors a demo product for design and fitting of their manufactured covers. They have to buy them live everyone else after they are released.  So for now you have a choice of the multi-colored leather covers by Amazon. They come either with or without a reading light. I am not a big fan of the hinged covers so I will wait for either M-edge or Tuff-Luv to come out with their own products.

Nice leather cover that makes desk reading simple

by Allen D. Reinecke from South Carolina, USA on 2010-06-02
Just received my nook leather cover. It's nice, it looks great and is ideal for travel! See my images for how the nook fits 1) The cover provides the necessary protection for travel. Around the house, it does bulk up the small and light nook, but the stand feature makes it a great thing at breakfast time to read the days news feeds on the nook while both hands are occupied. The cover provides good protection for the screens and sides, though I am worried that the lower corners are not well protected so if it slipped and fell on one of them, it might be enough to crack the plastic (see the image at the top of the product page). My iPod Touch has a very similar design of cover but the iPod's corners are much better protected as the leather comes much closer to the corner even though it is still open at the corner for fabrication reasons - and I have dropped that several times with no issues! 2) The nook is a nice snug fit, so won't slide around once inserted. The tolerances are very good and the leather edges match well to the nook's profile. The leather is soft with internal stiffening to ensure it doesn't lose it's shape. The pattern and color are very "elegant". It looks the part for the not-so-cheap nook! 3) I chose this cover specifically for the built-in stand - great for the table and the plane. The angle of the stood-up nook is just right. The stand is retained with poppers, so is very firmly stowed when not in use. 4) The front cover folds back fully for when holding the nook and is retained with two magnets, one at each lower corner, keeping the cover in its place when not using the nook. The magnets are not strong enough to lift the nook, but they work fine for their purpose of keeping the leather flat and in place when laying on the table or carrying it around. No elastic straps or "won't lay flat" covers like on some of the available B&N covers. Overall, I am really pleased with this cover and would recommend it for both it's stylish looks/fit and protection. I gave it 4 stars because I feel the corners are vulnerable and should have been better protected with leather (even though I know it would be more difficult to fabricate around the corner)

Excellent product for Kindle Global (6-inch)..

by Bucky from Massachusetts, USA on 2010-06-06
Crazyondigital Brand New Stylish Sync and Charging Dock Cradle for Amazon Kindle 2. The cradle/dock IS "stylish" and well made. It has the USB sync and charging functions, and serves as a reading stand for the Kindle. Even at today's price of $12.99 + shipping, it's a bargain compared to the official $20 Kindle charging cord which only charges and syncs. (NOTE: The price jumps up and down on the CrazyOnDigital cradle. My original ordered May 28, 2010 cost $8.99. Yesterday this item went for $4.99. Today, June 6, it's $12.99. Maybe that's where the "Crazy" comes into their name!) Please note that this charging stand is only for so-called "naked Kindles" (without cover) of the Kindle 2 (U.S. or Global) variety. Bucky


Efficient and attractive

by Threeundertwo from on 2010-06-07
I highly recommend this Kindle dock. I'm very pleased with the small space my Kindle now requires on my bedside table. It actually turns my Kindle into a work of art. Nice secure fit and very stable base. Seems to be a quick charge. Shipped very quickly.


Love it !!!

by MLF from Georgia on 2010-07-02
This is a very handy gadget ! I love that I can now stand my Kindle up in this base while reading at the table. Makes it even better that it's a charging station - takes up little space. Just what I needed. Love it !


Great Cradle for Kindle 2

by Dawn Thomas from Weeki Wachee, FL on 2010-05-16
I read a post for this product and immediately ordered it. I received my item today and was surprised that the cradle was so slim . The Kindle snapped into it very easily and a blue light came on to show it was connected. I plugged it into the USB port on my laaptop and it immediately showed up as connected. I am really glad that this accessory became available. It will make connecting and charging even easier.


Great product

by Dina Sorensen from Pennsylvania on 2010-06-28
Great product, charges my kindle fast as lightning, looks good. Would definitely recommend to any kindle2 owner.
