So I'm leaving for vacation in less than a week, and realize that I'm headed for the beach with nothing to protect my Kindle from the sand, water, and sun. The TrendyDigital waterproof case is perfect, but doesn't start shipping until I've already left for vacation. So, I need some suggestions for something I can use. My specs:
-I have a Kindle 2
-I'd like the page turn buttons to be reasonably accessible/ easy to press through the cover
-The Kindle and cover/case/pouch will likely be out in direct sun for a long period of time, and also exposed to water and sand
-It doesn't have to be pretty
-I'd like it somewhat close to the right size (not super huge)
-I need to get it in a brick and mortar store or through somewhere that offers expedited shipping to have it by Friday
-My regular cover is the Amazon (I know, boring). That's probably not relevant, but figured I'd say so just in case.

I found one that looked good on Amazon (the Kwik Tek 6"x9" Dry Pak), but the review for that product indicates the Kindle 2 doesn't quite fit. Any ideas?

I hadn't even noticed that there was a larger size! That's probably what I'll end up with, then, since you can confirm that it's functional.

It's really too bad the TrendyDigital one isn't available yet; it looks like it's exactly what I'm looking for.

Over under kindle accessories, there is this:

The MaxGuard eReader Jacket is available in amazon.com (TrendyDigital MaxGuard eReader Jacket, Carrying Case, leather Cover for Amazon Kindle 2) and in our web site at www.trendydigital.com
The WaterGuard Waterproof Case is current available at www.trendydigital.com and will be list with amazon.com soon.

Have you checked it out? I do not think it is the same waterproof case as you mentioned...

That's the one I was looking at. There's a note on the product page saying that it won't ship until April 20th. I suppose I'll drop the company an email and see if that's accurate. If it's available now, problem solved, but it looks like it's "coming soon."

Thanks for everyone's help. I ordered the Dry Pak from Amazon (the 9x12 one), and the silica packs are a great idea- I have tons that come in with a new pair of shoes. I may still get the Trendy Digital one once it's available, since I like that it's closer in size, but the Dry Pak should be just fine for vacation.

One more question- I know some people have had text fading issues in the sun. Did a plastic/vinyl cover make ths worse, better, or no different? I already did the outdoor test and if there is fading, it's not enough to be noticeable to me, so I think my Kindle itself is fine.
