Fair point BellaBoo - my sister said she liked the one I made her because it had a rigid body to it. The idea of any case/cover is to protect what is inside: I liked the Chicca and Jo pattern because it used strong cardboard to make the body of the cover, and its clever design meant that it could be upscaled successfuly to accommodate any size reader/pad.
Incidentally, we have now made a pouch for our kindles - the whole thing goes into a washable pouch and gives it a bit more protection. Useful for my daughter as she uses it everyday on the train to college.
