Latest 5 Kindle Covers

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.
