Which case/cover for a Kindle?

sudzs

I just got a Kindle and also a leather cover with light I got on ebay. Unfortunately the cover is padded and bulky and with the Kindle in there, I might as well have a flippin' paperback in my bag!

Can anyone recommend a nice slim cover that will protect the Kindle without being bulky. One with a light would be even better or would you recommend one with a seperate light. The one I got has a flat square light attached that folds back over onto the back of the case giving more bulk. :rolleyes:

I have this one
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/protective-pu-leather-case-for-kindle-3-black-49301

it's cheap but really good and not bulky. will take 2-3 weeks to arrive.

clip-on lights can be got for a couple of euro in tescos or euro shop - work fine

this is probably even thinner - neoprene sleeve

Thanks for the replies!

I got this one after sending back the first one... http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0046Y4WAK/ref=oss_product

But it seems a bit bulky aswell, maybe I'm looking for the impossible!

Or maybe one of those sleeves would be better for me. I'll keep looking!

I have it too - really like it. It gives the Kindle a textured feel, making it feel less like an electronic device.

got this light for 2 euro in a shop on camden st. - somewhere near cassidy's pub and on same side - works great for kindle 3

Does it clip on? Or do you need to hold it?

The best light you can get is this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/XtraFlex-SUPER-L-Music-Light/dp/B0009T2FQ4/ref=sr_1_2?s=lighting&ie=UTF8&qid=1311623920&sr=1-2

Mighty Bright.
Longer extending arm that twists greater into ways that others don't allow and its brighter than others but still controllable so that it don't disturb other sleeping folk.
I have tried many alternatives and can only recommend this one.
Now I don't buy anything else.

clips on, works great, is bright enough but not overly bright that it would annoy someone near you.

+2. Definitely recommended. I've no issues with it, only positive things to say.

Thanks, I've ordered the Hemp cover mentioned above, and I'm using the free book light from http://www.bordgaisenergybookclub.ie/ at the moment, but while it has a clip, it doesn't fit too well so end up holding it most of the time which is not ideal, I'll keep an eye out for the one you mentioned!
