I found this tip on the Amazon forums, and it's working a treat for me:

Go down to a Bed, Bath and Beyond (or really any place), and pick up a square-ish pot holder. They're padded, have some rubber on one side (good for not dropping it!), and fit the Kindle very well. BB&B has them in about a billion colors, and cost about $7.

That's what my Kindle is riding in until the Oberon/DecalGirl stuff arrives. Has the advantage of still being useful when it no longer needs to carry the Kindle

Also, here's what I'm getting:

Oooohhh....Pretty akjak!

Oh that's really nice.  I didn't see that skin is that a new one they put up?  Are the pot holders ones that are open?  I'll have to go check them out.
Thanks,

Hi ajkak! Welcome....that skin and cover is my combo, too. The skin arrived today and immediately got put on my K2, Hugh. Now I am even more impatiently awaiting the arrival of the River Garden cover from Oberon....

I think all the K2 skins are technically "new," so it's hard to say It's called Orient.

The potholder "hack" is really just a sleeve, an alternative to mailing envelopes and other temporary cases while people wait for the "real" ones. It's great for protecting it in my purse, but I still have to read "naked" heh.

Ha ha - when I was at target looking for a case, I saw a square potholder sleeve and thought of using that, but my fiancee looked at me like I was nuts

This is exacting what I have order and the skin I am thinking about.  I will be waiting to hear what you think of them together.  I love red and I can hardly wait!

I have the Orient skin on my K2 and am anxioulsy waiting for my red Oberon River Garden. I like your taste akjac... Welcome to KB!

I guess that means I have to post Before and After pics when they arrive!
