So, I really like the style of the Lightweight MicroShell Folio Cover by Marware. I bought one when the Kindle original came out. However, I don't like the material as it gets dirty pretty easily. So I decided yesterday, with one of my Moleskine notebooks I wasn't using, to chunk out the pages (and save them for later because I'm a tree hugger) and use it as a cover/case combo for my Kindle. Only leaving the first page with my owner details, a blank page for notes, and the pocket in the back for whatever.

My Bamboo stylus fits nice and snug on the side too.
The Kindle inside the notebook which I patched up with tape.
And the side view of the Kindle in the case.
Of course you can't actually use it while it's IN there, but it's good for carrying purposes and people don't assume it's a tablet when they see it laying around.
Oh, and you can prop it up to watch video. But only on some surfaces. .

I got tired of looking at endless junk and not finding anything suitable for hard use. Nothing to protect the device in REAL use. I went to my local custom Kydex maker and he whipped this thing up for me in about 30 minutes. Note the back lip, as the device sits in the case with the screen to the body. The kydex protects the entire screen. If you are unfamiliar with Kydex, it is a hard moldable plastic. The gNote has a Nillkin skin on it, but the case will hold about any thin skin I decide to put on it.

Hey, how'd THAT get in here???
awsome!!!
i have seen it on a lot of blogs, any i idea where it can be found?
n oh, that pouch/clip is good too
I picked one of these up last week and it's fantastic. I was never a fan of leather cases that clamp on or wrap around the front of your device.
This leaves the Fire "naked" inside the case by using an adhesive pad like in some of the more expensive cases I've seen for the iPad. Removing/replacing the Kindle on the pad is pretty simple, but it doesn't feel like the Fire is going anywhere. Stitching is well done (another pet peeve of mine), and the magnetic latch seems decent.
I'm too lazy to take my own pic, so here you go (more at the link):

Edited original to reflect price drop/cheaper location.
I've had this case for over a month now, and I'm still well pleased with it. Durable, and the adhesive seems to still stick/unstick really well.
I recently bought a Portfolio cover for a Kindle Fire from BundleMonster.com, And here's a short review:

I have a blue one, It looks okay, Nothing too spectacular. It has a lot of pouches, Good for Card storage of all sorts. The snaps that hold the kindle on mine came a bit flimsy, But still holds the kindle in. The stand is a good feature, I use it like crazy. Great for netflix while doing other tasks. The protection isn't the best, But it's pretty good for the price. All in all I'd give it a 3.5/5, And I might recommend it to a friend. As stated in the title, I've included a coupon code that I got with my case. Good for an unlimited amount of uses. Enjoy!
Coupon: "thanks" = %15 off.
Just wanted to stress that I am NOT a spambot. I'm a real user, And a part-time developer.

I ordered this case without trying it out. The dimensions said that the G-Pad will fit with 1mm to spare on top and bottom. When I got it, the tablet did not fit quite as well as I expected - I could stuff it in there against the foam liner and close the case, but it required some effort and did not feel like the seal would work well.
I decided to modify the case with a Dremel.
You can see the results in the photos below - it doesn't look pretty, but it fits the tablet very well. There is a relatively thin amount of padding on the top and bottom, but it is still decent, and the tablet should not sustain any damage if it falls, in my opinion. There is still some space on the left/right, so it moves a bit, but there is a good amount of padding so I'm not too worried about it.
Overall, if you're looking for a tough/waterproof case, this is a great option if you don't mind 5 minutes of work to make it fit. This mod can also be done with a box cutter if you don't have a Dremel.
Hi as I have recently bought nexus 7 2013 and I have got a cover for Nexus 7 like in below images:

I like this case only and won't ever want to change it, as its most protective one and it just has a button at back that I can detach and then just hold the tablet with the inner case or attach it back and the use the outer case for viewing videos in different three angles and can use it in portrait mode ( just like poetic DuraBook ) .
Now what lacks is the looks as its just plain from front and back, I want if I can get from online some "Nexus 7" written, etc like Logo Stickers or something To Stick On Case's Front and back, so it looks nice and better .
Please let me know any websites that does that at reasonable prices and ships worldwide like to India too, I would highly appreciate the same .
