Default Kindle Covers

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.

Those covers look great. The Kindle 'fairy' visited us for Christmas, too, so I'm looking for cover ideas. Thanks for posting your covers. They are very nice.

Those are too cool. My grandson got a Kindle fire and no cover. Guess what Gramma is going to have to make?
