Kindle 2 Slim Case - Map

This case provides a good light weight alternative for carrying your Kindle2. It is well made of durable materials. The zipper system is particularly robust and the zipper-pull will take a lot of use. Users should not be afraid to use a bit more force to pull it. A lighter system would not be as effective or last as long. The case is very attractive with its map pattern -- it will look at home in any library. Reviewers have correctly noted that the kindle tends to slightly shift in the case and slips downward thus making a loose fit. I Have found the solution to this. I cut a 5 inch x 1/4 inch strip from a thin (1/4 inch thick) kitchen sponge. I then wrapped a piece of black felt around the sponge and had my wife sew the ends together and well as sew the seam on the linear edge (it could also be glued with tacky fabric glue). I then cut a 5 inch section of black 2 part velcro tape placing one side on the sponge and one side on the bottom of the inner case (Be sure to place the velcro strip under the two diagonal elastic strips at the bottom of the case. Simply place the covered foam strip over the velcro strip at the bottom of the case. It holds the kindle snuggly in the case and without any direct modification of the case itself. The foam strip also holds down the diagonal elastic ribbons against the case without any stress. Since the covered foam strip and velcro are black, it is almost invisible. Cost: less than $2.00 and took about 5 minutes to fabricate. Note: This remedy does not permanently modify the case. You can always remove the foam strip and the velcro placed in the case . If you are looking for a soft carrying case with an attractive cover, this might be it. (Posted on 2/15/10)

Great case, great price (a couple dollars more with "fullfillment" through Amazon, but if you have Prime Shipping works out cheaper and faster). I started with the original Kindle 2 Amazon cover with the hinges but wanted something that zipped & had room for the charger. This is a great solution...my Kindle cover fits right in under the 2 right elastics, the elastics are then not on the Kindle at all so not in the way, and I have no slippage issues. Plus there's the extra protective surface between my kindle viewing area and the storage pouch. I find myself reading right in the case as it folds back pretty well. Case zips with only a little care around the Kindle cover without stressing the zipper. (Posted on 2/15/10)

I JUST received my 'CaseCrown Double Memory Foam Pouch Case for Kindle2 (Antique Map)' and I LOVE it!!! I removed the CaseCrown logo...which left little dots where it had been...but I really just wanted it to just be the beautiful antique map design and the dots don't bother me. I thought the whole case was made out of memory foam, but only the inside, which I was actually really happy to learn because I wanted more support. The outside is a tougher material with a very durable zipper and dual zipper pulls and is perfect! I couldn't be more happy. I had actually seen the other case just like this one only with the outside pocket as well and fell in love with it but just didn't want the pocket on the outside CaseCrown Double Memory Foam Pouch Case with Front Pocket For Sony Portable Digital e-Reader System (Antique Map)(reminded me too much of a bible cover...). When I finally found this one after hunting for what seemed like days...but was truly hours, I found this one and am now SO SO SO SO SO happy I bought it! My favorite books are stories from Jane Austen to Harry Potter so this case really represents what you will probably find inside: An all-over-the-world representation of my book taste from past to present. =) Hope you find this review helpful and happy hunting!

I wanted a Kindle cover that zipped up to offer protection from stuff in my purse or diaper bag, and this one fits the bill. As stated in other reviews, it is a bit bulkier than some of the others, but it also has stood the test of a toddler dropping it from a counter and stepping on it and even a spill here and there. The inside pocket is helpful too ... I can leave the house with my phone and house key inside without worrying if they'll scratch the surface. As far as reading with it, I typically like to take the Kindle out to read, so having the straps in the way is not a big issue. As another reviewer stated, they're not especially snug, but your Kindle won't fall out either, so it's nice to be able to slip it in and out easily. For the price, this offers great protection though you'll give up some of the sleekness of other designs. Happy hunting! (Posted on 11/7/09)

I bought this case immediately after purchasing my Kindle. It serves its purpose: it protects and secures the Kindle 2. Also, I like how it has a side pocket for the power adapter. Nice! However, because it is so bulky I just use it for indoor use. For traveling purposes I bought the pink Tuff Luv case by I-Unique. I am not sure how the Tuff Luv case is yet because I just received it in the mail today but already I can tell it's a lot slimmer. (Posted on 6/8/09)

This was the second cover I purchased for my Kindle. I first bought the hinged one, but then my Kindle developed a gap at the site of the upper hinge, causing it to creak. (Amazon replaced the Kindle.) I then decided that I wanted a cover that I could just slip the Kindle into. I love the design of this cover, and it does afford a lot of protection. However, like the previous reviewer, I found this to be a bit bulky and wanted a slimmer cover. So I ordered a Belkin neoprene cover that does the trick. I still love this cover and will use it periodically, but if I want the slimmer version for tucking it away in my purse, I've got that, too. (Posted on 5/9/09)

My Kindle 2 is very safe in this CaseCrown case, but:
1. The top zipper can be a bit finicky sometimes;
2. While there is no danger of my expensive Kindle falling out, I do wish it didn't shift so much - it moves up and down about 1/4", and when it slips to the bottom the elastic band covers the BACK key - a small issue, but may be annoying for some.
2a. The straps on the top are plastic - it remains to be seen how long they will last. No signs of wear yet, but I've only had this case for a few weeks.
3. I didn't realize this until after I bought it, but I would like to have something slimmer to carry in my purse. This case is about 1" thick. I am looking at a leather m-Edge that's about $10.00 more and less than 3/4" thick, according to the product description.
On the positive side:
1. Nice design (I like maps).
2. The inside pocket is roomy and convenient.
3. The case has plenty of padding. Thankfully I haven't tested this feature by dropping my Kindle yet:), but it seems the padding will protect it from any drops.
4. Although the inside straps don't keep the Kindle from moving around some, the device won't slip out accidentally. (Posted on 5/7/09)
