Image of Kindle TouchAs with all devices, buying my Kindle was just the beginning. The real fun is in the accessories! At the bare minimum, I needed a sleeve or cover to hold my e-reader so I can throw it in my bag for the daily commute or travel. I really liked the classic unisex styling of this tweed herringbone zip sleeve, though there are plenty of girly options for those who want to put a bird on it (or a neon zebra, for that matter). Beautiful fabrics and patterns abound, of course.

For a more literary look, you can also encase your Kindle in a hollowed-out hardcover… although this sort of seems to defeat the purpose of owning a lightweight e-reader. I like the weathered vintage look of this illustrated leather case.

If you’re just looking for a skin to protect that sensitive cover, there are choices ranging from bamboo covers to adhesive decals… some more distracting than others.

After much research, I went with the timeless Lisa Frank animal-print look, and it got compliments on its first foray out into the world! But then, who’s to say my Kindle shouldn’t have as many outfits as I do?
