Much as I've grown to appreciate my Kindle, the lightweight portable library is just too delicate to be treated like a real book - even though I treat mine very well! - and the thought of just slinging it 'naked' into my bag fills me with horror: it feels like it could snap from a clumsy knock (or me sitting on it, more likely!), or certainly get scratched. That it so obviously requires a case without bundling one with it is sly marketing, methinks - although as Amazon feels it can charge a horrifying £50 almost certainly explains leaving it as an 'optional' accessory! Of course, I'm not going to pay that amount of money and there are more than plenty of ...  Read the complete review

Late last year when I knew I was going to be getting a Kindle for Christmas, I started looking around for a cover for it. I knew enough to decide that I wasn't going to be happy with taking it outside the house, or putting it in my handbag without having some kind of protective cover over it. Tough or not, the kindle wasn't going to win against anything lurking in my bag. Did I want a cover with a light? A stand? Leather? There are plenty to choose from on the market. I spent a fair while looking around for what would suit my needs, but in the end the decision was taken out of my hands when I learnt that I was going to be receiving one alongside my kindle for ...  Read the complete review

In the back end of last year I updated my Sony E-reader to the far superior Amazon kindle. As with all new devices I purchase I got myself a few accessories to make use of the device and one which I bought at the time is the Duragadget Kindle Cover with Stand which has had a mixed reaction with me. I have this in the black and you can get white,pink and red models too for the price of £9.99 which seems to be the average when looking around the various sites. First off, the whole premise of having a stand for the Kindle kind of, to me at least, defeats the point of having it as you wouldn't have it for a book and it makes it rather less portable. I have made ...  Read the complete review

I purchased my Kindle after many months of debating 'will reading be as enjoyable without having the actual book'. I've not regretted one second. Now you have your fabulous machine, you want to protect it from the inevitable drops and scrapes, but do you really want to spend over £50 of your hard earned for a case? I bought the Duragadget leather case and when I first opened the package I was pleasantly surprised that it appeared to be very well made. My Kindle fitted very snug and feels very secure. There is no chance of it accidently falling out when it's being carried around. The leather is very soft and once your Kindle is in there ...  Read the complete review

I bought my kindle at Christmas after about a year of wanting one but not being quite ready to put my paper backs away. I was'nt sure if I would enjoy reading as much on the kindle but I certainly do! After receiving it and seeing the size of the screen I decided to by a case to protect it from the usual scratches as I'm sure having scratches would annoy the hell out of me whilst I was trying to read. I wanted a leather case and went for a duragadget case after seeing it on sale on amazon. The usual retail price is around the £40 mark but I managed to pick one up for £11.99, what a bargain! The case is made of very good quality leather and is very ...  Read the complete review
