$54.99 for a DX cover? no thanks
That is too much for a cover...
DIY is our best choice. here is what I made(spent $10.49 and couple hours) more details, see my website http://www2.cs.usfca.edu/~cliang2/cs212/lab3/kindle Last edited by CalvinL; 12-27-2010 at 02:48 AM. |

People will be beat down their door to pay that much for a cover, I am convinced that people will pay any amount for anything.

Nice job! Very clever use of a pad-folio.
If you haven't already done it, you may want to seal the cut edges somehow so the material doesn't fray. |

Excellent idea. How about some fabric glue for the edges or maybe a soldering iron?

I got this for 17$ shipped a few weeks ago.. prices change all the time but there are plenty of decent cheap cases if you look around.
