Simple Sleeve – $32 + $6 shipping.
Sleeve w/Clasp – $48 + $6 shipping.





Waterfield

Waterfield’s classic black look caters to the business traveler. The company offers a variety of options–a zipper case, a padded sleeve, optional straps–but it can get expensive if you start combining things. For a more affordable solution, stick with just a Slip Case or Sleeve.





Patagonia Case

If you want a non-leather case, try this one. It’s made of recycled polyester and padded with EVA foam, and folds back so you can read the Kindle while it’s in the case.





Belkin Neoprene Case

Simple, stylish, black, zips shut. At $25, it’s one of the cheaper options out there. Note that it only unzips partially, so you can’t read the Kindle while it’s in the sleeve. Check out the Amazon page for a video review from a customer.





M-Edge Touring Sleeve

Yes, it’s another M-Edge product, but that’s because the company has managed to come up with a case for just about every lifestyle. This one is aimed at people who travel or who spend a lot of time outdoors. The neoprene sleeve zips shut, has a zipper pouch on the back to hold your charger, and comes in lots of bright colors.
