I have had my Kindle for a couple of weeks and although I have properly placed it in the cover with the plastic tab it repeatedly comes out. Do the other, more expensive covers like the M Edge actually work better at securing the Kindle? After spending a lot of money on the Kindle I am not happy about having to buy a new cover or having to attach velcro to this one. Hmm.
Congratulations, Amy on your first (and subsequent) posts! Welcome to the forum, and especially to the Accessories Corner.
The Ziploc bag makes a very good water resistant cover, I'm told. You're definitely in the right place!
You don't HAVE to buy another cover, all of us here in Accessories are just a little obsessed with outfitting our Kindles! (Sometimes I feel like Gollum from Lord of the Rings, rubbing my hands and croaking "pretty, pretty.")
I use the stock Amazon Kindle Cover right now and have been very happy with it. I don't have velcro, instead I pull the elastic from the back over the lower right hand corner
I've also made a Kindle Cover Cover, will post pics soon. (Haven't been able to sew as much as I'd like after knee surgery).
That being said, I'm planning on getting an Oberon cover as soon as possible. (See these threads
Oberon Design Update and
Oberon Design)
And of course, there's also the very popular option of reading your Kindle nekked. There have been frequent sightings of nekked Kindles!
