The next generation of the Amazon Kindle has brought in a new design that has a better resolution and a thinner profile as well. As a result, many of the accessories that were for the original Kindle don't work with the new version of the Kindle. One of these accessories is the cover.
3rd party Kindle covers became popular because the original version didn't come with a very good cover, so as a result, many third party companies came up with their own Kindle covers to fill in the gap. Brands like M-edge and Belkin became very popular with Kindle owners. The new Kindles have completely different dimensions.
The New dimensions are 8" x 5.3" x 0.36". This makes them thinner than the original Kindles. They are a somewhat lighter as well, but not enough to make a significant change in the kinds of materials needed to create a high quality Kindle cover. These new covers have all of the same features as the covers for the 1st model, including snap closures and a better design to keep the Kindle in place so it doesn't slide out.
Other models are available for the Kindle 2 such as zip pouches and Neoprene sleeve case covers and leather covers. A new player to the Kindle cover market is Cole Haan, who produces high-end leather coverings for the business owner or heavy hitter who wants to impress.
M-edge is still a big player for the Kindle covers in the new market. Some of their most popular models are the platform jacket and the prodigy jacket for the Kindle 2. The prodigy jacket comes in many colors of leather and has the standard book-cover style with a strap close mechanism (a strap that slips into a loop to keep it closed. The inside has reinforced loops to keep the Kindle secure within the cover.
The Platform jacket is a new style that came out for the Kindle 2. This style is made out of leather and also comes in many colors just like the other m-edge styles for the Kindle 1. The difference with the style of the Platform jacket is that it is rotated 90 degrees and the cover flips up like a notepad instead of to the side like a book. This construction allows the Kindle user to use the jacket as a Kindle stand when they turn the cover inside-out so they can experience hands free reading. Although this is clever, I don't know how many users will use this cover in this fashion because most people hold the Kindle to read it like they are holding a book. The stand feature could be useful if the reader has their hands full while they are reading (such as following a recipe).
Amazon also has created a new cover design for the new Kindle as well. Many of the complaints from the previous version of the cover have been addressed with this new version, although not all of them. The new version is very cost effective and get the job done, but was built for functionality and not luxury. There have been many more favorable reviews of this version.
The new features and design will bring out new lines of accessories to compliment the Kindle 2. As people take advantage of these features, we will see additional accessories emerge. The Kindle cover is no exception to this rule. New brands and styles for the covers are already available and are being purchased by Kindle owners today. Protect your Kindle 2 with a stylish and functional cover so you can enjoy your electronic reader for years to come.
