The best Amazon Kindle (2019) cases and covers

 

E-readers like the Amazon Kindle have made it easier than ever to enjoy a great book no matter where you are. But, unlike books, e-book readers are just as fragile as a smartphone or tablet. If you’ve ever dropped one of your connected devices, you already know how frightening it can be watching your device fall to the ground below. A case or cover can keep you protected.

Regardless of your style, you’re sure to find a great option on our list of the best Kindle 2019 cases and covers.

Dadanism Hand Strap and Pocket Cover Case

This option from Dadanism is a great choice if you’re looking for more utility out of your Kindle case. It cleanly integrates a hand strap in the cover panel that provides a secure way to hold on while you read. That same panel also houses a neat pocket to store cash, cards, or other similar items if you happen to be on the go. The PU leather material provides full protective coverage along the edges of your Kindle and is soft to the touch. The case can also automatically sleep and wake the device with its magnetic closure system. You can find it in several colorways, with some great decorative designs available as well.

If you find the Kindle slippery, and cases don’t quite solve the issue, the is an awesome way to get some peace of mind. Those who like to pack lightly will also appreciate the added pocket functionality.

Official Amazon Fabric Cover

As always, Amazon’s own case is one of the best cases you can pick up for your new Kindle. It opens like a book, but has its own style with a soft fabric front cover, inner microfiber lining, and a tough protective plastic rear casing. It stays closed with small magnets, and a sleep/wake system puts your Kindle to sleep while closed, and wakes it up when opened, helping to save battery. It’s slim and light, which you’ll want for long reading marathons. Unfortunately, everyone’s favorite origami cases seem to have disappeared, and honestly, this case is on the expensive side, too — but it’s still a great case, and it adds much-needed grip to the new Kindle.

Fintie PU Leather Shell Case

You don’t have to pay Amazon’s prices to get a great book-fold case though. This case from Fintie is a great alternative if you’re looking to spend a little less. It has PU leather on the front cover instead of fabric, but you’ll still find a soft microfiber inner lining and a tough protective plastic casing with reinforced corners on the back, too. There’s a sleep/wake system to help save your battery power, and despite the protection, it’s still slim and lightweight. Best of all, it comes with some more interesting color variants, including the above love tree, starry sky, and rose gold. You can even pick up the regular black version for just $11, saving even more money.

Timovo Vertical Stand Cover Case

If you like to use your ebook reader for hands-free reading while you eat, prepare food in the kitchen, or at any other time, then you might need a case that facilitates that. This vertical stand case from Timovo allows your Kindle to be stood vertically at a variety of angles, making it easy to read while your hands are otherwise engaged. It’s made from PU leather, so it’s durable and easy to keep clean. That material wraps entirely around your Kindle when not in use, keeping it safe, while a wake/sleep system means your battery is saved when your device isn’t in use. If you’re not keen on the black variant above, you can choose from five other colors, or pick up the Starry Night version for $14.

Ayotu PU Leather Case

While there’s not a huge variety in types of cases for the Kindle 2019 (yet), there are a number of style options you can use to trick out your ebook reader. This PU leather case from Ayotu is similar to many other options on this list, with all-around protection from PU leather and an inner microfiber lining that prevents scratches, a sleep/wake system, and a magnetic cover. But the real draw here is the range of color options, which includes the library option above, and some other cool designs you won’t find on many other cases. Best of all, there’s no difference in price between each variety.

Moko Slim Shell Case

Even though a case is an excellent way to protect your Kindle, it can feel bulky sometimes, which is annoying. For Kindle lovers who don’t want to sacrifice the lightweight feel of the device, there are alternatives. You could consider a protective pouch instead. MoKo’s soft pouch will protect your Kindle without getting in the way. Its high-quality felt material will keep your Kindle safe from bumps and scratches on the go.

Your Kindle will stay safe and secure, thanks to a heavy-duty velcro closure marked with a faux-leather accent. You can store earbuds, keys, or your phone in the handy second compartment for added convenience. The MoKo pouch will do an excellent job of protecting your Kindle, but it’s versatile enough to be used with most similar-sized eReaders and tablets. The compact, modern design fits comfortably in briefcases and backpacks, too.

Discolored line on your new Kindle? You aren’t alone
Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition on a table.

The new Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is the first full-color e-reader, and a lot of bookworms couldn't wait to get their hands on it. Sadly, many people are reporting the display has a discolored yellow area at the bottom of the screen. The problem is so widespread that the Kindle Colorsoft dropped to an average review rating of 2.6 out of 5, although it does remain the bestselling e-book reader at the moment.

The cause of the discoloration isn't clear. Some users report that it only happens when using the edge lighting feature on the Kindle, while others say it appeared after a software update. Either way, the yellowing is a problem, especially on a device that Amazon has marketed as being great for comics and graphic novel fans. It's hard to enjoy the colorwork in a comic when it's distorted.

Even the best smartphones still have relatively small screens. After all, they can only get so big before they're no longer practical or pocketable. There are some great folding phones that try to give you the best of both worlds, but these are pricy options and often make compromises you're unwilling to live with. If you're looking for a larger canvas for reading, sketching, gaming, or just about anything else, you're likely much better off going with a tablet. This lets your smartphone keep doing what it does best — being portable, taking great pictures, and offering solid battery life — while giving you an alternative for those times when you need more screen real estate.

However, choosing the right tablet can be tricky. People use tablets in different ways, so there are dozens of options on the market to address these myriad needs. We know how hard it can be to wade through them all and find the one that works best for your use case and budget, so we've done the legwork for you, reviewing dozens of tablets across the entire spectrum to compile a list of the top eight for all walks of life.
