Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Patagonia Kindle Case (Fits 6" Display, 2nd Generation Kindle)
Customer Review: Excellent protection and very lightweight; plus a carry pocket!
Summary: 5 Stars
Water resistent and foam padded, with zippers (two) that securely close the case. Inside, there is a 1/2 pocket you can slip notes or other items into. There are four elastic edges (triangular shaped) that hold the Kindle 2's edges in place while you read. Yes, I wish the elastic Kindle-edge-holders were a bit larger (the Kindle tends to pop out of one or two of them at times), but this has never posed a hazard for my Kindle.
The Patagonia case is lightweight - I leave it on my Kindle, fold back the top cover, and read my Kindle 2 in its case most of the time. I find it easier to read the Kindle while in its case than to hold the Kindle 2 by itself.
I love the water-resistance, the padding, and the enclosing zippers. Also, since I have neck problems, I'm thrilled to find a protective enclosure that is lightweight. I travel frequently, and this case is vastly superior to any case that would allow dust or items in your suitcase or briefcase to scratch or otherwise "slip in" to hurt your Kindle. Yes, 39 was a bit high, and I'm sure the cost will come down over time, but since I travel a lot, I will be leaving on an international trip soon, AND I read outside in the elements, this was the best case for me. Thanks, Patagonia.
Updated 11/10/09: I still give this case 5 Stars! I adore Patagonia's case (although it ought to be ten bucks less). Yes, the double zipper is a little stiff, but if it wasn't, people would complain about the zipper opening on its own and the Kindle falling out. Considering what I paid for the Kindle 2 when it first came out, I prefer this level of protection. The Patagonia case's foam padding, firm zipper, and water resistance are huge benefits. It has been a lifesaver for all types of travel, including overseas. Since March 2009, this case and my Kindle 2 have been to the U.K., Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Lichtenstein and dozens of outdoor locations in the U.S. so far. The case and the Kindle in it are constantly thrown around (literally, if somewhat gently) during our travels. The case also protects my Kindle in a steam-filled bathroom. I NEVER take my Kindle out of this case, and it's a good thing - every time I've dropped it, I credit the case for saving the Kindle. Folks, I treat my Kindle like a paperback book, not a computer, and the only reason it still works (knock on wood) is because of this case.
If you travel, drop stuff occasionally, have one or more kids or pets, share your Kindle with a spouse or child, or you take the Kindle to the bathroom, to work or on vacation, then get this case. Isn't the massive financial investment in the Kindle worth the cost of a truly protective case? Thank you, Patagonia
