Amazon Kindle Cover.

[Somawas]

Has anyone done one? A friend of my wife's has asked me to do it. I saw on the Amazon site that they sell one. It seems to have some kind of lock in it. How would you keep the Kindle from falling out of a traditional book cover type thing?

on mine i put strap of leather across the front top of the kindle, then attached a tongue behind where the kindle sits, which then folds over the top of the device and tucks in between strap and kindle.

Here's a link to mine:

I use 3 leather corner straps and an elastic strap.

Basicly, you measure the device, and modify it by ((2x(Width + 1/4"))+7/8") X (Height+1/2")

That'll give you a good seam allowance.

Good luck!

I merely made a couple of basic Pouches for mine....

Mine is the Kindle 3 - the 'Keyboard' version, and I merely measured the Kindle itself, added a bit to allow for the 'walls',and added a bit more so that it wouldn't be too snug

First one (the one with the Coat-Of-Arms) I didn't allow for this properly,and thus is a tad snug, hence my doing a second one, I guess :-)

That said,I've also done a third one, merely because there was a design I liked that I wanted to do as a Kindle Pouch :-D

Anyway, here's my attempts:
