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.

The Kindle started shipping from America last Monday and deliveries began yesterday. If you’ve ordered one and are patiently waiting for it to arrive, now is the perfect time to protect your investment and find the perfect accessories to keep it safe and help make the most of your new Kindle.

Amazon Kindle - now available in the UK

We’ve just launched our range of Kindle accessories and have a selection of Kindle Cases, Kindle Screen Protectors and Kindle Reading Lights available and have more coming over the next few weeks.

To help you get started here’s a few of our favourite Kindle Accessories:

UK Mains Charger

You’d think that Amazon would have included a worldwide travel adapter in with the Kindle, considering that they’re now shipping them to most countries, but for some reason they’ve decided to send them all out with an American mains adapter. You can of course charge it up using the USB cable connected to your PC, but what if you’re out and about and need to charge it? You can’t beat a proper Mains charger so for that reason we’ve launched both a UK Kindle Mains Charger and a Kindle Car Charger that will let you charge your new eReader anywhere you want.

Amazon Kindle Silicone Case

Keeping your Kindle looking it’s best won’t be easy as the combination of white plastic and stainless steel could scratch or mark easily. There are a number of cases available for the Kindle and most styles are on this list. If you just want something simple that will absorb minor knocks and drops and prevent your Kindle from looking grubby a silicone case could be your best option. They are made from a tough silicone gel and are moulded specifically for the Kindle. It still provides access to all of the Kindles buttons and the screen and is a tight, neat fit to your device. They are dust repellent and have a non slip coating that will reduce the chance of it slipping out of your hand.

Amazon Kindle InvisibleSHIELD

If you want to protect your Kindle but don’t want the extra bulk of a case then you should take a look at InvisibleSHIELD. They’re more than a screen protector but not really a full case. They’re a tough, thin film that covers all of your Kindle. Installation takes a bit of patience, but the end result is well worth it. It covers almost all of the Kindle and will withstand the toughest of scrapes. The InvisibleSHIELD has a matte finish with a non-slip feel to it. It is great at repelling fingerprints and reducing reflections and as the InvisibleShield doesn’t add any extra bulk to the Kindle you can use in in conjunction with most Kindle Cases.

Tuff-Luv Kindle Book Case

Tuff-Luv make some great, high quality cases for phones, netbooks and eReaders. Their Book Case for the Kindle is no exception. Your Kindle is held in place securely, with all controls accessible. On the inside cover there is space for pens, business cards and other paperwork. The case is fastened with a magnetic stud so there’s no chance of the case opening and your screen getting damaged.

Noreve Book Case for Kindle

Noreve cases are similar to those by Tuff-Luv, but are made from a higher grade leather and instead of sliding your Kindle into a pocket, the Noreve case has a built in ‘rail’ system that allows you to securely mount your Kindle in the case without covering the device. The front cover is lightly padded to protect the screen of your Kindle and the inside of the cover has a number of pockets for you to store your passport, business cards, travel tickets etc. The rear has cut-outs for  the speakers with a stainless steel mesh to protect them.

Amazon Kindle Crystal Case by Tuff-Luv

Crystal cases are clear plastic cases that clip onto your device and protect the while device against scratches and light impacts. In the event of you dropping your Kindle, the Crystal Case is designed to absorb all of the impact energy – this might result in the case breaking, but that’s exactly what it’s designed to do – after all, what would you prefer to have in pieces? A £13 case or a £250+ eReader!?

XtraFlex2 Kindle Reading Light

I’m sure most people like to settle down with a book before bed, but reading in the dark is a bit tricky. The Kindle doesn’t have a backlit display, so in order to read in reduced light you’ll need to get yourself a reading light for your Kindle. The XtraFlex2 Reading light has been developed to work with all eReaders including the Kindle. The XtraFlex2 has a flexible, adjustable neck and the lamp has 2 LED bulbs that spread light evenly over the display. You can chose to use just one or both of the LED’s so finding a lighting level to suit won’t be a problem. It runs on batteries so won’t put any extra drain on the Kindle’s battery and can be used with old fashioned paper books too!

Kindle Screen Protector

The screen on the Kindle is extremely easy to read, but if you scratch it or damage it it could really spoil the enjoyment of reading a book. To prevent anything happening to your screen you’ll need to invest in a Screen Protector. The Tuff-Luv Topcoat is a thin plastic film that’s been precision made to fit the screen of the Kindle. It is resistant to smudges and fingerprints and will help reduce any glare on the screen from sunlight or reading lamps.

Kindle Headphones by Skullcandy

One of the experimental features on the new Kindle is Read To Me – sometimes it’s nice to sit back and relax while someone reads to you, and that’s exactly what this feature does. There are built in speakers, but for better audio clarity you’ll need a set of headphones. Any 3.5mm headphones should work with the Kindle, so we tried the Skullcandy Smokin’ Buds with ours and thought they did a great job. They’re colour matched to the Kindle and extremely comfortable to wear, making them perfect for when you want to just sit back, relax and let your Kindle read to you.

Amazon Kindle Flip Case

The last of the cases for the Kindle, the Flip Case is similar in many ways to the Tuff-Luv Book case, but instead the cover is hinged at the top rather than the side. As with the Book Case, you slide your Kindle in to it and once it’s in there’s no chance of it falling out. All of the buttons and controls have cut outs and the case doesn’t interfere with their use. There is one feature of this case that makes it different from anything else available – and that’s the built in stand. On the back of the case is a fold away stand that once in place will hold your Kindle upright. The stand is perfect for when you want to read on long plane or train journeys and don’t want the arm ache that you get from holding a book for long periods of time. Just stand it up on the tray on the back of the seat in front of you and your Kindle is perfectly positioned.
