Speck Fitted
This stylish hardshell case from Speck Products features a rubberized matte plastic faceplate, and a textured, fabric-covered back in gray, black or white. Assembly or removal only takes seconds. Read my review here.
Decals can add a quick burst of color and design to your device, but it can be hard getting a precise or professional look–it depends on how good you are with applying stickers. Because they add almost zero thickness to the device, you can still use a case or sleeve for real protection.
DecalGirl.comDecalGirl sells adhesive vinyl coverings for just about every consumer electronic device on the market, including the Kindle. You won’t get a lot of protection from a decal, but you will get something colorful, cheap, and unique. If you hate having a plan old off-white Kindle, this is an easy way to change that.
GelaSkins
GelaSkins are slightly more expensive than DecalGirl skins, but they’re far more attractive overall. The company emphasizes artwork from professional artists and designers, with the result being that a Kindle wearing a GelaSkin will probably look a bit more sophisticated than one with a DecalGirl skin.

UniqueSkins Design-It-Yourself Decal
If you’re the creative type, or if you just want to have photos of loved ones on the back of your Kindle, UniqueSkins will let you quickly upload images or artwork and turn it into an adhesive decal. The price is comparable to DecalGirl, so it’s not going to cost you anything more for a one-of-a-kind look if you’re willing to spend a few minutes with their online design interface. I’ve used the service to create a skin for an iPhone 3GS, and it was easy to use. The site doesn’t show any finished Kindle skins, so here’s an iPhone model to show you how it might look.
