If you already have a Kindle, are going to purchase a Kindle, or know someone who has a Kindle you may be interested in the many different Jackets / Covers that are available for the Kindle.  The Kindle Jacket serves a few purposes… it protects your Kindle so if you by accident drop your Kindle the potential damage will be less due to the soft case.  It also protects the Kindle against scratches, and some jackets allow you to place accessories in them for your Kindle.  I put together a list of all the Kindle jackets currently on sale at Amazon and you can see the list here.
