Hot on the heels of amazon’s new Kindle 3 comes a plethora of great covers and cases to keep the great new eBook Reader safe.  Here is the low-down on the Best Kindle 3 Covers, brought to you by the Best Covers and Cases site, where all your gadgets are protected in style.

Since we’re talking about the Kindle 3, we bring you the best 3 covers…

1. Lighted Leather Kindle 3 Cover

First up the amazon own lighted Kindle 3 Cover.  True it won our hearts before we could even get our grubby paws on one.  The cool, lightweight leather in a multitude of colors got us interested.  Then the truly innovative built in book-light that disappears completely out of sight and needs no batteries planted this one firmly in our top 3 best Kindle 3 Covers list.

If you like the kind of cover that you leave on for reading your Kindle, and you enjoy the feel of leather in your hands, plus like reading in the dark, this is most definitely the cover for you.  Already one of our favorite leather Kindle Covers it is still in our top 3 all time Kindle 3 cover list.

Whilst black or brown leather might be the most popular choices, do check out the super bright apple green or hot pink versions if you want to make your Kindle stand out from the crowd!

For those of you that like to read your Kindle in a folio style book cover, this is by far the best choice.  The convenience of always having a reading light to hand, but that takes up no room and needs no batteries as it gets its power directly from the Kindle make this a must have cover for those that want to keep things traditional with their Kindle 3.

2. Built Kindle 3 Neoprene Sleeve

Number two on our list is a funky new Kindle cover from Built.  Made of super strong neoprene (just like wet-suits) it offers good all round protection, particularly due to its unique hour-glass shape giving natural bumpers to protect your new eReader on the go.

This is a much less formal affair, for those that enjoy reading their Kindle “naked” so to speak.  Personally, since the new eBook Reader is designed to be so light-weight and slim it can seem a shame to always keep it covered in a book-style jacket.  This simple sleeve offers all the protection you need when carrying your eReader out and about, and then slips off easily so you can enjoy the true experience of reading the Kindle as it was designed to be read – in your hands, not in a case.

Now, there are simply hundreds of neoprene sleeves out there, but many are so boring.  The cool shape and the even cooler design choices make the Built Kindle Sleeves stand head and shoulders above much of the competition.  If bright dots and flowers aren’t your thing they have been kind enough to offer a few plain colors too!

3. Timbuk2 Nylon Envelope Kindle 3 Sleeve

Another lightweight case for the Kindle 3, this time from the kings of nylon – Timbuk2.  Just like their previous cases, and bags the stitching and foam padding is tough and rugged.  Just what you want to keep your Reader safe.  The super snug fit ensures the device won’t wobble about inside, so you can literally throw the envelope in your bag and run, no worries.

The simple envelope design is ridiculously lightweight, coming in at barely 3 ounces so you certainly won’t be worried about the extra weight.  Again, you need to remove your Kindle from this kind of case in order to use it, but for those that aren’t so keen on the whole folio style case it is excellent.  The interior protects the device from scratches and dust as well as any other, and you get an array of color-ways and designs to choose from to make your Kindle 3 fit in with your personal style.

Best Kindle 3 Covers

The range of Kindle 3 Covers is growing day by day as new manufacturers catch up with the phenomenon that is the latest generation of Kindle.  Expect to see thousands around by the time we are thinking of buying gifts for the holidays, so no doubt our top best Kindle 3 Covers will keep on changing, so keep on coming back if you want the latest and the best covers for your Kindle!

Kindle 3 Covers – Amazon Leather Lighted Kindle Cover


Leather Lighted Kindle Cover – Click for Pricing & Customer Reviews

The all new lighted leather Kindle Cover is a delight!  Yes I want to read in bed and not disturb my partner.  But I don’t really want an awkward or heavy book light, and I certainly do not want to be worrying about batteries for it.  The new system adopted by amazon is ingenious, and that’s why this is one of our Best Kindle Covers.

As before you get a choice of eight color options – all rather attractive in their own right (apple green, steel blue, hot pink, burgundy red, chocolate brown, burnt orange or plain old go with anything black).  All covers have a full leather exterior and microfiber lining that keeps dust and dirt away from the Kindle display.

The key advantage of the lighted cover though is that the hinge system that hooks the Kindle in place is gold plated.  This conducts a little bit of power away from the device and to the book-light.  That means you never have to worry about batteries.  The LED light slides completely out of the way when not in use.  When you pull the light out it switches on, illuminating the entire page for you, but without sending light out elsewhere.

The Kindle Cover closes with the help of a large strap so this one won’t open without warning in your bag.  The leather is supple enough to allow you to fold the front cover completely back so you can read with one hand comfortably.

It is true that at the time the Kindle 3 was released there was not much choice for those wanting to order a new Kindle 3 cover too.  But at least those that were made available in time for the Kindle’s release were perfectly formed and tailored exceedingly well to those wanting a lightweight product that protects but does not destroy the portability of the new reader.

Best of the Best Selling Leather Kindle Covers

1. Cole Haan Hand Stained Leather Kindle Covers

The range of Cole Haan Leather Kindle Covers are all rather delightful, but nothing beats their hand-stained number in brown aged leather.  For a traditional look and simplicity this remains our absolute favorite Kindle Cover in leather or not!

For a prestige product it isn’t expensive, and simply screams quality.  For anyone wanting to enjoy reading an electronic book but to feel they are reading an old-fashioned leather bound one (albeit a much lighter book than your average “real” one) the Cole Haan Kindle cover is simply the best.  Completely flexible so you can push the cover to the book and read one-handed, just like you would with a well-worn paperback this is e-Reading at its most comfortable.

The hinge system keeps the Kindle firmly in place, but the flexible covers allow complete freedom of movement and great access to all the Kindle controls.  The goat-suede interior puts this leaps and bounds above the competition in terms of supple movement and soft Kindle protection.  This isn’t the case if you want rigid protection, flip stands or built in lights.  This is the best Kindle Cover if you simply want understated kerb appeal and a soft look that looks after your Kindle provided you do not drop it on a regular basis!

You can find out exactly why we love Cole Haan Leather Kindle Covers so much in our more detailed review.  There are masses of colors and finishes to choose from including patent red, purple and of course simple black, but this brown version is still our fave!

2. The Amazon Kindle Lighted Leather Cover

Second up is the Kindle Lighted Leather Cover, because not only do you get a pretty stylish, well designed leather cover, you also get the most ingenious book light we have yet to see.

We quite liked the old, simple version of this Kindle Cover by Amazon.  A good price, a great range of colors and a sturdy product to keep the Kindle safe.  No it is not in the same league as the Cole Haan version above as far as looks or leather go.  But it is stylish and probably a lot more practical for most of us, since it is far more sturdy.

Their updated version with a built in book light is fantastic.  By coating the Kindle hinge system in gold, you get to transfer just enough power from the reader itself to the light.  That means you don’t have to worry about batteries and of course get a far lighter overall feel.  We think this is a simply great idea and the key reason we have voted this one of the Best Leather Kindle Covers around today.

You can also get this without the book-light, and a decent cover it is too!  Sold in masses of bright and cheerful colors for mid-range Kindle Covers in decent leather I honestly would look no further.

3. Piel Frama Kindle Covers

Another touch of luxury now with Piel Frama Kindle Covers that offer the ultimate luxury Kindle cover buy.

You might not have yet heard the name Piel Frama, but trust me due to the growing success of Piel Frama iPad Cases and Kindle Covers you soon will.  These are high quality items, made by Spanish leather workers who really know what they are doing.  A far more sturdy and well padded option for those that want something that offers a greater amount of protection for their device.

No, they are not cheap Kindle Covers, but neither are they over-priced.  You get what you pay for sometimes.  And, if you want perfectly aligned cut outs for your Kindle controls, the snuggest fit for your reader, the most protection without too much weight, and to simply own a Kindle Cover others will covet you have to pay for a Piel Frama one!

It is as simple as that.  If you want to brighten things up and really wow your friends you could choose one of their bright colorful lether covers.  Personally though, for quality without a hint of brashness I would stick with their tan leather model – it is near enough perfect!

Best Leather Kindle Covers

So now you know exactly which are the best leather Kindle Covers around today.  Any of the three will be a great buy, so pick the one that most suits your style and budget.  Cole Haan covers are definitely for those that are careful Kindle owners.  Piel Frama are fantastic for lovers of quality and safety for their Kindle, and the amazon own lighted leather Kindle cover is perhaps simply the most practical product here.
