Cheap Kindle Covers – 7dayshop Kindle Cover Range

Mar 252011

If you are looking for a simple, stylish and affordable Kindle cover why not check out the 7dayshop Kindle covers available here.

cheap kindle covers uk Available in a wide range of colours the 7dayshop range includes stylish jacket style covers such as that pictured, as well as smart silicone skins. To keep your Kindle ebook reader looking great, without spending an arm and a leg, the 7dayshop has got it covered.

True this is not a high quality leather cover, instead PU leather which is hard wearing and looks good has been chosen for the exterior. Inside is a soft microfibre lining to protect the display.

The front cover is reinforced so that in the case you bash the reading device, it should hopefully survive. Inside is a handy (perhaps) slip pocket. I would only think you would want to put papers in their though as it is opposite the Kindle’s all important screen and we wouldn’t want anything spoiling that.

The cover closes by way of a simple magnetic clasp. Some folks are a little wary of magnets near electronics but these are so weak to be of no concern and are widely used for lots of gadget accessories.

The Kindle is held inside the jacket using 4 corner clasps, which are a cheap alternative to the more secure, yet also more fiddly hinge system used by other cases and covers.

There are loads of colours to choose from, and all priced at around a tenner which is excellent value for money. To view customer reviews of these Kindle covers just click the image above. There you will find the entire colour range on offer too. For style, a lightweight feel and a slim look, all on a budget the 7dayshop range of covers, skins and cases is an excellent choice.

simple kindle sleeve from Timbuk2

View All Timbuk2 Kindle Sleeves

The Timbuk2 Kindle Sleeve has been one of the most popular simple pouches for ebook readers in the States for the last few years.

These are now available for both the keyboard, and smaller new Kindle.

Available for UK buyers that want nothing getting in the way of just how comfortable the Kindle is to use, whilst keeping it safe and sound when you are busy doing other things. The Timbuk2 range comes in a variety of different color ways, and with different degrees of cushioning for the device inside.

You can view the entire range available for sale via the links to the left. We have pictured our current favorite which is one of the more simple solutions, but made with a quirky sense of style and choice of colors.

The tough nylon exterior is easy to clean and really lightweight which is important if you key reason for getting this ebook reader in the first place, was its portability. The quality is a lot better than cheaper envelope style cases, which you would expect seeing as these have been popular in America for the last few years and Timbuk2 have had plenty of time to get the specification perfect. The stitching adds reinforcement and cushions the reader a little more than one might expect.

There are two options, the more simple, and more lightweight model pictured, all a more seriously quilted version with thicker softer furry lining. These are still relatively new to the UK, and since most people are swayed by heavy advertising for jacket style covers, there are few customer reviews to view. But having headed over to the US store to see what customers there think, we’re happy that Timbuk2 Kindle sleeves are just as good as we thought. Even the Velcro is better than expected and unlikely to disappear as it can do with cheaper products.

More Kindle covers for sale in the UK… This time its the Belkin Vue Kindle Sleeve. Available in four colors (plum – pictured, black, coral and blue) if you can find it – as Belkin seems to be fighting to maintain stock levels for the most popular choices! This is a sleeve with loads of protection and practicality for your new toy.

The choice of Kindle covers is growing daily. Belkin have a number of sleeves available that we have looked at. All offer a simple solution that allows you to enjoy the Kindle perhaps at its best, that is to say unencumbered by any additional jacket or cover.

We last looked at their ridiculously simple Knitted Kindle sleeve. But if you want something a little more secure, far more robust and with a whole heap of extra protection for your ebook reader, something like the Belkin Vue is probably more up your street.

Belkin Vue for Kindle

The Belkin Vue sleeve is another neoprene Kindle case. We are huge fans of neoprene here at the Kindle Covers UK site. The fact that this is the stuff wetsuits are made from, should give you an idea about just how tough it is. You won’t rip it, scratch it, and it will prove useful if you tip a drink on it (though it isn’t of course totally waterproof). Importantly for something that will be in and out of bags and hands, neoprene is simple to clean too.

What differentiates the Belkin Vue from their other sleeves for the Kindle, is the front pocket. Not super large you should get a book-light or your USB charger in there with no difficulty. For the ever forgetful the fact that the pocket has a see through cover means you can see whether you have put in all the essentials you intended!

The soft lining will help ensure the display stays clear and scratch free, whilst a reinforced panel further protects the screen should you knock the device whilst inside.

All in all, this is on a par with the entire Belkin range of Kindle covers, so a firm thumbs up from us. The only issue is that the entire color choice does seem to come in and out of stock a little, so you may have to wait a little if you really want the coral pink case!

Belkin have reworked their range to include plenty of new Kindle covers for the smaller eReader too.

Time for another great Kindle Sleeve available in the UK. This time its a return to Belkin, with their unique knitted Kindle sock:

For many of us the beauty of the Kindle is its simplicity and the comfortable way it feels in the hand. If this illustrates your attitude to your ebook reader the chances are you aren’t looking for a book style jacket or folio that will add weight and bulk. To use the reading device as originally intended “naked” so to speak, a simple sleeve or sock that will protect it when not in use, but slip off quickly when you do want to read is probably all you need.

There are more robust Belkin Kindle sleeves around with zips, pockets and lots of padding for the device inside. But if your reader is likely to spend most of its life either in your hands, or in your bag, a simple sock such as the Belkin Knit, or Built sleeve for Kindle could be all you require.

Belkin Knit Kindle Sleeve

Made from polyester fibers, the knitted sock should be extremely durable. This also means it is relatively easy to keep clean, with a hand-wash in mild soapy water. It is double layered so the soft lining should stop any scratches damaging the display of your ebook reading device. This is very simple. Now for some, that makes it idea. But of course you could get far better protection for your gadget if you want, and for a similar price.

This is really most suitable for those that aren’t clumsy, and do carry their gadgets around in a bag most of the time. I wouldn’t want to drop an ebook reader in or out of this simple sock as it is unlikely to do a great deal to protect it. However, for stopping all the debris, bits and bobs in your bag bumping up against the Kindle, this will do very well.

There is no zipper, which makes this a convenient slip case, but it also means that you could of course tip your gadget out if you weren’t careful. Hopefully the contrast stripe that is added to the open end should prevent you doing this though.

I guess the Belkin Knit Kindle sleeve is brilliant for some, and an utter waste of time for others. If you are really clumsy, or simply prefer your ebook reader to feel more traditionally like a real book in your hands, look elsewhere for a jacket style case instead. But if simplicity is your thing, go for it as this knitted sock will do well at keeping your Kindle clean and scratch free.

Belkin have released new Kindle sleeves to fit the non keyboard eReader too.
