Latest 5 Kindle Covers

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

The internet’s ablaze at the moment with the news that a new Amazon Kindle might soon be in the works. The new Kindle, reportedly known as the Kindle Fire, will sport a 7″ capacitive colour touch screen – no e-ink. The tablet has a very similar form factor to the BlackBerry Playbook, and will run Android, albeit with a custom user-interface.

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.

Top 5 Kindle Accessories

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011

Introduction

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.

Let there be light! Another great Kindle lighted cover

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

You may remember that I blogged about a month ago on the M-Edge Executive Jacket with e-Luminator light, a Kindle lighted cover that protects and illuminates your e-reader effectively at less cost than the official Amazon lighted cover.

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.

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.

Great Gift Ideas for Mothers Day

Friday, April 1st, 2011

That’s right, it’s Mothers Day this Sunday! I’m sure you hadn’t forgotten, but just in case, here are some gift ideas that you can use to spoil that very special lady in your life…

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

Kindle lighted cases – perfect for dim days and dark nights

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

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.

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
