Until that particular can of worms is opened however, let’s roll with what we’ve got — and what we’ve got is a collection of the latest and greatest Kindle accessories, including as of right now, the five best and latestKindle covers. Let’s have a look.

5. Leather Flip Case

Sometimes it’s best to start with the basics. This Kindle leather case, the Leather Flip Case, is simple but effective, protecting your Kindle from damage with high quality, nicely crafted leather. The interior is made of ultra-soft microfibres that are designed to protect the screen and keyboard specifically.

As it’s a flip case, Kindle screen protectors are less vital here than other cases.

4. Lightwedge Verso Artist Series

This Kindle case is part of the growing trend of cases that look like books. While it’s not quite as an original idea as it once was, the Lightwedge Verso Artist Series is definitely one of the best implementations, with the Cities by Sharyn Sowell case being particularly beautiful.

As well as  the outer cover made of vinyl, inside you’ll find a four corner elastic fastening system and an interior pocket for keeping ID, receipts, travel documents and the like.

3. Luminous Case with Light

This Kindle cover includes a clever light attachment; hence its name, the Luminous Case with Light. TheKindle reading light that comes attached is powerful but directed, allowing you to read late at night without straining your eyes or disturbing those sleeping near you. The case, which is available in purple or black, is compact and made of vinyl of good quality.

A simple solution, but a very effective one nonetheless.

2. Otterbox Commuter

The Otterbox Commuter has long been a favourite of mine, and I’m glad to see it’s coming to the Kindle. Although not officially released yet, the Commuter looks set to provide heretofore unparalleled levels of protection to the reading slate, even including a Kindle screen protector as standard.

The Commuter is certainly one of the best Kindle cases around, and looks fantastic too. It was only just beaten to the top spot by our next cover.

1. Speck FitFolio Cover

This custom-fit Speck FitFolio Cover is a lovely looking case, coming in four colours: red, black, purple and (my favourite, and pictured below) peacock. The polycarbonate case is slightly heavier than the other cases, but does provide much more protection against accidental damage. A two way bungee cord will keep the case closed at all times, making it a safe choice.

Overall, it’s a good little package and one of the nicest cases we’ve seen.

Let’s have a look at a topic I haven’t covered yet in my reign at Mobile Fun – everyone’s favourite e-Reader, Amazon’s kindle. Specifically, let’s look at the top five essential Kindle accessories!

5. Lightwedge Verso Arc Light

The first accessory on this list is quite a handy one – a Kindle light! This reading light, the Lightwedge Verso Arc Light, is a cleverly crafted clip-on reading light for the Kindle, allowing you to read easily in the dark. It’s perfect for travelling and camping, letting you read that last chapter without keeping everyone else up.

4. KleverCase False Book Case

If you’re a more traditional sort, then you may not like the contemporary stylings of the Kindle. Instead of being labored with a out-of-place pile of gadgetry, hide it away inside a beautifully done, realistic looking Kindle case like KleverCase’s False Book. It looks perfect on a bookshelf, of course.

3. InvisibleSHIELD Screen Protector

The InvisibleSHIELD (hey! no shouting!) is a premium Kindle screen protector. What does premium mean for a screen protector, you ask?

Well, the kit you get in the box is quite extensive; as well as the shield itself you get a special spray adhesive, a smoothing device and a lint-free cloth. This makes it quite easy to apply perfectly, and if you get the positioning a bit wrong you can just take it off, apply more adhesive and have another go.

2. M-Edge Executive Jacket

The M-Edge Executive Jacket is a high-end Kindle jacket that’s perfect for the boardroom. The professional looking leather effect exterior keeps your Kindle safe from scratches or falls, whilst the four point mounting system and soft microseude interior ensure that the Kindle doesn’t move about whilst inside.

It’s a clever system, and doubly so when a fitted M-Edge booklight is attached, offering a seamless option of upgrading your case to work in dim or dark areas.

1. Leather Style Book Case

Sometimes, the simplest things are the best. This Leather Style Book Case is just that: a leather effect Kindle cover, available in quite a few different colours, that keeps your Kindle safe and secure through easy to use elastic ties and quality construction.

It’s not a complicated design, but it still works well and doesn’t break the bank.

3. Krusell Gaia Folio Case

Starting the countdown is this high quality, smart case from Krusell.  Perfect for both work and day-to-day use, this Kindle case is made from leather effect material and boasts a soft microfibre interior to help keep every inch of your Kindle protected.

The folio style of the Krusell cover does give the impression of a book  and means your Kindle can be used without compromising the protection.

This case also has a self-contained pocket on the inside cover meaning you can transport documents with your Kindle.  It also has cut-outs for all the ports and features of the Kindle so you do not have to remove the Kindle from the cover when charging.

2. Tuff Luv Leather Case Cover

Crafted from genuine leather, this Kindle cover comes in a variety of colours and is made from case giants Tuff Luv.  Tuff Luv are one of the most reliable brands for hard wearing and durable covers and cases for e-readers and tablets alike, making it no surprise that a Tuff Luv case made our top three.

What makes this one of the best Kindle covers on the market is that it features a built-in stand providing the perfect reading angle and a flip cover which protects the screen of your Kindle whilst it is encased.

The material of the case is soft yet strong and hard-wearing and has a life-time guarantee against it’s workmanship, making it one of the most reliable accessories on the market.

As with any Kindle cover made specifically for the Kindle, this cover contains all the relevant cut-outs needed to keep the Kindle fully functioning, including one for the charging port.

1. Luminous Case with Light for Amazon Kindle

One of the most innovative Kindle cases available, the Luminous case with light tops our countdown of Kindle cases.  What makes this luminous case special is that it comes complete with a light attachment which fixes securely to a built-in magnet, meaning it can be attached and removed as and when needed, but you’ll always have it with you as you can house it in the dedicated light slot.

This Kindle jacket is constructed of a vinyl case with a soft microfibre lining which both protects the Kindle from outside and inside the case, preventing bumps, scrapes and scratches.  The jacket also has a detachable wrist strap which can be used when transporting your Kindle, to prevent those butterfingers moments.

Team this up with the case allowing you to access all the features and ports of the Kindle and this Kindle cover with light has everything you need to enjoy all aspects of the e-reader at all times.

Luminous Case with Light

The first Kindle case of our rundown, the Luminous Case with a light; is a vinyl case with an attached magnet for the light to snap on to.  This means the light can easily be removed and re-attached as and when needed.  When it’s not in use the light can be stored away in the in-built dedicated slot for it, so you’ll always have it with you.

The Kindle cover also comes with a detachable wrist strap, allowing extra grip on the microfibre lined case and further preventing accidental bumps and scrapes to your Kindle.

Tuff-Luv Leather Case Cover and Stand

Tuff-Luv are a well respected brand, especially when it comes to Kindle accessories and iPad accessories.  This Tuff-Luv Kindle Jacket is hand crafted from genuine leather, making it not only look but feel great.  It comes in a variety of colours to suit each individual’s style and even has a handy built-in stand; making reading easier and more comfortable.

All the Tuff-Luv Kindle cases are custom made for the Amazon Kindle, ensuring a perfect fit and cut-outs for the various ports and features.  The flip on the front of the case, allows easy access to reading the e-reader but also protects the screen during transport and when it’s not in use: providing the perfect balance between usability and protection.

KleverCase False Book Case

The final Kindle cover on the list is the KleverCase False Book Case which disguises your Kindle as a famous work of fiction.  The Kindle cases are handcrafted to give colour and personality to your Kindle, as well as providing top quality protection and security.

The interior of the KleverCase is precision moulded to ensure a perfect fit for your Kindle; however a Kindle screen protector is advised for ultimate protection.

These cases are great for those who want to foll their friends into thinking they’re reading works such as ‘Dracula’, ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ or ‘Alice in Wonderland’, plus many more.

KleverCase Kindle Jacket

This means that passers by think you’re reading ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ by William Shakespeare or ‘Dracula’ by Bram Stoker when actually you’re reading your Kindle of playing on your iPad 2.

iPad 2 KleverCase

The Klevercase range are hand crafted using original book binding techniques to add character to your eReaders and Tablets, as well as providing excellent protection from scratches, scrapes and minor impacts.

They contain precision moulded interiors to add extra protection and hold your Kindle or iPad 2 in place; as well as original antique book designs to add personality and disguise your gadgets.

The cover of the Klevercase book folds back into a handy stand, meaning you can use your Kindle or iPad 2 at more than one angle for comfortable viewing; all whilst disguised as a book.

They’re excellent, quirky yet protective items, but as always, an iPad 2 screen protector or a Kindle screen protector is advised for full protection.

Now we’ve got a new lighted Kindle cover in – and this one sets you back even less dosh, making it a fantastic choice if you want to get the most out of your Kindle without breaking the bank.

Luminous Case with Light for Amazon Kindle

Luminous Case with Light for Amazon Kindle

The Luminous Case with Light for Amazon Kindle is a strong, protective vinyl case which holds the Kindle securely in place whilst preventing damage from bumps, scrapes and other impacts.  A soft microfibre interior lining cushions the e-reader on the inside, as well as being comfy to hold – which is perfect for snuggling up in bed for a reading session.

The included Kindle light attaches easily with the use of a built-in magnet, so as soon as the light gets too dim to see you can clip on and carry on reading.  The light illuminates the Kindle screen, so you don’t have to strain your eyes to see and you won’t disturb others around you – making this a brilliant idea for reading without annoying your bed partner, during night-time flights and for anyone who struggles to see in dim light.

My top pick this year is this Kindle Cover with Light, which both protects and illuminates the Reader at the same time.  It’s a great gift for bookworm mums, and is perfect for reading in dim light or whilst in bed without disturbing the other person.

For something a little less costly, how about the USB Aroma Fragrance Oil Burner?  Candles for Mother’s Day feels a bit cliché and overdone, but this gives the idea a modern spin – just put in some fragrance oil, plug the lead into the USB port and there’ll soon be relaxing and revitalising fragrances wafting their way through the home, office or car.

I also think this Hi-Rez Digital Photo Frame Key Chain is a nice little trinket, allowing favourite photos and memories to be transported and shared with ease.  It can be filled with holiday snaps, photos of the family or anything else your mum fancies (yes, including pictures of Johnny Depp!)

If your mum’s the tech-savvy tablet type, there are some absolutely gorgeous iPad and iPad 2 covers available on the market – and there’s just no need to stick with a boring old black case when there’s so much variety to be found!

I really like this Tuff Luv Multi-View Case for iPad in Marrakesh Red, which draws the eye immediately with its sumptuously exotic design.  It’s hand-crafted from high-grade textiles and artificial leather, and doubles as an iPad stand for viewing movies or pictures.

Another nice one –  the Jivo Executive Buckle Case for iPad, which also works just as well as an iPad 2 cover.  I’ve always had a thing for satchels, and this one has a nicely rustic feel – as though you’ve just stepped out of Cider with Rosie, albeit with an expensive slab of tech at your side!  It’s hand-crafted from top layer Brazilian buffalo hide and has a neat chunky buckle to keep the tablet tucked away safely.

Last of all, here are a few likely-looking iPhone 4 covers: the Foofpod Sleeve for iPhone/iPod, iLuv Nature Soft Case for iPhone 4 and Casemate iPhone 4 Ivy Case

Looking at the Kindle, the eInk technology is so impressive that it’s sometimes easy to forget that you’re not actually reading from a piece of paper – albeit one that’s shaped like a large, thin calculator.  One of the advantages of the traditional book is that if dropped or bumped it generally won’t suffer much damage other than some minor scuffing or bent pages, but the same can’t be really said for the beautifully-crafted Kindle.

What that means is that, as with every expensive piece of gadgetry, protection is paramount!  Luckily there are lots of Kindle covers on the market to keep your Reader tucked up safe, so wherever you are – whether you’re tucked up too, or out and about in the great wild world – you’ll have peace of mind.

My favourites are the Kindle cases which also feature a built-in light, giving you some illumination when using the Reader in dim light.  Whilst the official Amazon Kindle Lighted Leather Cover will set you back by a hefty chunk of cash, our alternative faux-leather case clocks in at a much more reasonable price.

M-Edge Executive Jacket with e-Luminator Light for Amazon Kindle - Black

You won’t lose out on function or protection either: the Kindle case itself is fashioned from durable faux-leather, giving it a stylish and professional appearance.  It’s held shut by a sturdy strap, for extra security, and a soft grey microsuede interior prevents scrapes and scratches.  The specially-designed Kindle light is easily stored when not in use in a light pocket situated behind the Kindle, which is positioned so as not to interfere with the device’s usability.  It features a powerful LED light bulb, so there’s easily enough illumination to see the eReader’s screen without straining your eyes.

Amazon Kindle Gift Pack

I also like the Kindle Gift Pack, which makes an ideal present for bookworms (Mother’s Day, anyone?) and contains all the extras you need for your Kindle in one:

• Book-style case with faux-leather exterior, internal padding & interior microfibres
• Alternative silicone Kindle skin for when you don’t require as much protection
• Five Kindle screen protectors
• Kindle reading light for those dim days and dark nights
• In-car Kindle charger for power wherever you are

For those who are planning to grab an iPad 2 but already own an original iPad, we’ve got some really cute children’s iPad covers for people who have decided to pass on their iPads on to their kids (we just didn’t get hand-me-downs like this when I was little!).  There’s an Elmo iPad case and a Cookie Monster iPad case available.

For big kids as well as small:

The Angry Birds iPad 2 case has been announced and is coming soon!  Mega-fans can kill two birds with one stone (or two pigs with one bird!) and pick up the Angry Birds iPhone 4 case at the same time as the iPad 2 case over on the main site.

And I also really like this Pinball Case for iPhone/iPod, which brings a spot of retro-chic to your iDevice and lets you turn it into a real-life tiny pinball machine, complete with flippers.  Of course there are no actual balls involved; this is a completely modern version of the game which works by downloading a (totally free) dedicated pinball app.

For Kindle:

The M-Edge Executive Jacket with e-Luminator Light for Amazon Kindle is a nice bundle which combines a stylish faux-leather executive Kindle case with a handy Kindle light, to keep the e-reader illuminated on dimmer days or at night-time. The light attaches easily to the case itself.

Until next week,
