I have found that the Kindle screens are a little sensitive to what I think is crush injury (from being in a backpack with other things) so I have an Amazon brand case that's hard and has the hook-in. I like it ok but it makes for less one-handed reading. (Not that this is a bad thing for me - I dropped a Kindle and broke it while one-handed reading and carrying laundry down a flight of stairs.)
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Because books.
I got a really nice leather case for my Kindle, and I use it with the Kindle inside. It attaches with the four elastic corners, too, but since it's only a few weeks old, it's still nice and tight. I didn't think I'd be able to use it to prop the Kindle up, but I can with this one, horizontally.

When my second kindle broke, they told me that it was from carrying it my purse unprotected (but still sent me a new one.
THey do have cheaper cases than the Amazon ones-- my friend M found me this one [link] for $10

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My case is an envelope.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We talk future Hunger Games trilogy casting in here, right? Useful link via Richard Lawson on Twitter: [link]

Ooh. I have no idea how the Kindle Touch compares in size to the other ones. I wonder if that one would fit. In black, not pink.

I've had my Nook in its case for nearly a year, and the elastic is still strong. I rarely take it out, so that may help. It's a book flap type thing, which sometimes gets in the way when I want to read in bed when I'm lying on my side, but it's not too much of an annoyance. The Nook has buttons on both sides, so it doesn't matter which side I have access too.

After looking at that link I realized I had been picturing a young Woody Harrelson as Finnick. I guess he was stuck in my mind because he is in it?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The DH has one like this [link] and it has protected his Kindle on many motorcycle and airplane trips.

I don't have a case for my Kindle, but I also don't carry it around with me (since I can read Kindle books on my phone).
OTOH, my laptop case is a Fedex bubble-wrap envelope, so I'm kind of a cheapskate about this sort of thing.
