It was Kindles for all this Christmas but they come with NO hardcover and no storage case so of course I had to surf the net for a pattern for a cover and then find one I really liked. I found this one and made 3 covers - one for me (circles), one for DH (peace signs) and one for DS (flames).

The directions were great, I tweaked it a little but pretty much followed the directions given. The 4th picture shows how you can set up the cover easel style.
