None of the Kindle covers available had exactly what I was looking for, so I took my cue from other Kindle 2 owners and decided to make my own. I really like those stunning Oberon covers, but I am sold on the hinge system. I hate Velcro and dislike corners. The Amazon cover is adequate, but it is cheaply made and I really wanted something that securely closes shut. The M-Edge covers are my favorites (I like the idea of a built-in reading light), but even their Prodigy design includes corner holders that would leave behind unseemly marks if cut off. Also, none of the available covers had quite enough padding to satisfy my overprotective streak. For some reason, the M-Edge Prodigy has more padding for the back of the Kindle 2 than for the front. So, in the end, I cannibalized my Amazon cover for the hinge system and created my own unique Kindle 2 cover. You can see the results here:

I'd like to see more Kindlers designing and creating their own unique covers. It's not as hard as you might think. Below are additional links to some of the other custom covers that I have seen creative Kindle 2 users make:
