The Kindle is selling like hot cakes this Christmas, so the elves here at Mobile Fun have been working extra hard to try and source new Kindle covers for the Kindle 4. Here’s three of my favourites which make your Kindle look like a book!
Lightwedge Verso Amazon Kindle Cover
The first of our Amazon Kindle covers which makes your Kindle look like a book is the Lightwedge Verso cover. Designed in a gorgeous antique red colour, this case offers rugged protection on the outside and a soft microfibre interior so that your Kindle is both protected and cushioned.
Padded to provide extra protection from bumps and minor impacts, the Lightwedge Verso Kindle 4 cover does this without adding any unnecessary bulk to your Kindle .
The Verso holds your Kindle securely with four elastic straps, therefore all the buttons, ports and features are still completely functional and accessible whilst your Kindle is in the cover and you don’t have the fear of your Kindle moving in the cover either.
It’s a beautiful case, which not only oozes elegance and class, but provides first rate protection.

The KleverCase quite literally disguises your Kindle as a famous work of fiction, fooling people into thinking that you’re carrying around an antique book, when really it’s your e-reader. Some of the books available are: Alice in Wonderland, Dracula and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, plus many more.
Available in a variety of designs the KleverCase Kindle case is handcrafted using original book binding methods to add extra protection from day to day bumps and scratches. The interior of the KleverCase boasts gorgeous designs too, giving a feel of luxury to the case.

All of the features and ports of your Kindle are still accessible whilst it’s in the case, meaning that your Kindle stays fully functional and protected at all times.

The Blackberry Curve 9380 can be a little over looked at times, as a lot of people either talk about the Blackberry Curve 8520 or the Blackberry Bold 9900, but the 9380 is a mighty little handset.

Genuine Blackberry Curve Soft Shell
This Official Blackberry Curve 9380 case is made from a soft and flexible material, so it doesn’t add much bulk to your phone, but does protect from day to day bumps and scratches.

Cellular Line Retractable Car Charger
Every phone needs a charger. They might seem like the most boring accessory to invest in because they’re not bright and bold, but they are essential. The last thing you want is to be driving around all day and realise you have no battery left, so investing in a car charger like the Cellular Line one is a great idea.
This Blackberry Curve 9380 charger is an in-car charger with a retractable wire. It simply plugs into your cigarette lighter and with the wire, you can position your phone in a comfortable place or even in your Blackberry Curve 9380 car holder and charge whilst you’re on the go.

With the Samsung Galaxy S2 packing a powerful 8MP camera capable of shooting stunning full HD video it’s just as well it comes with 16GB of onboard storage as standard; but what about when you want to share all your photos and videos with your friends? True it has an impressive array of features for sharing and uploading your recordings but it also has one rather well kept secret.
Instead of a normal USB port the Samsung Galaxy S2 has a Mobile High-Definition Link (or MHL) port, which allows you to plug all manner of things into it. The best use I’ve found though, is to plug that big TV in your living room in via an HDMI adapter to play back all those videos back on a massive display the way they were meant to be viewed.
One of the best solutions I’ve found is to use a mobile phone dock with an HDMI output which allowed me to output holiday videos to a 40” TV at 1080i resolution. Seeing them on a large screen really demonstrates how good the camera on the S2 is. Of course it isn’t just things you’ve recorded yourself, with the ability to stream and download videos and films from YouTube and – more recently – Android Market.
Samsung Galaxy S2 Desktop Sync and Charge Cradle With HDMI Out
The dock I used felt well built and had some weight to it, which is handy considering the S2 certainly doesn’t! When docked the phone sat at just the right angle to still use it when placed on my desk, and didn’t budge when using the touchscreen or home button.
In order to fully test the dock I downloaded and watched a film from Android Market, and whilst the lack of an HD option was a bit annoying (but perhaps something we can look forward to in the next year or so as Android devices start sporting HD displays) it still played really well, and looked and sounded great. The Galaxy S2 being as powerful as it is of course this didn’t surprise me!
Throughout my testing of the dock I did experience one problem I couldn’t quite eliminate, which was that my Wi-Fi signal would drop out when docked and outputting via HDMI. This wasn’t a massive bother as I was still able to download extra content beforehand (the film downloaded straight off Market and could be rewatched for up to 48 hours after the first viewing), and obviously all of my holiday films were already on the phone’s memory; however it did rule out streaming which would have been useful. Admittedly though, streaming aside, if you’re watching a film you probably don’t need an internet connection!
Pros:
- Watch films and home videos from your Galaxy S2 using just a normal HDMI cable.
- Demonstrate to your friends your (not so) amazing skills on Angry Birds.
- Charge your phone while it’s docked so it never runs out of power when you need it.
Cons:
- Wi-Fi signal dropouts made streaming impossible.
- The Galaxy S2 appears to only support 1080i, which (some claim) lacks the full quality of 1080p. This is a limitation of the handset however; not the dock.
