DIY Kindle Cases: A Bookworm’s Must-Have

Even though nothing can beat a physical copy of your favorite book, electronic readers are definitely one of the greatest inventions ever! Having a Kindle means you can carry hundreds of books with you everywhere you go, which is super convenient if you travel a lot or have a long daily commute. You’ll want your reader to be well protected, which is why we’re here to encourage you to give these DIY kindle cases a try!

You can absolutely go fabric shopping for your handmade kindle case, but it’s even better if you open up your big box of fabric scraps and use them up, seeing as you won’t need to use too much fabric, thanks to the Kindle being so adorably tiny! Get the tutorial for a beautiful fabric case at Cut Out + Keep.

2. Repurposed Shirt Kindle Case

Another way to get the fabric for your kindle case is by repurposing an old shirt that you haven’t worn in years but still love the way it looks. Repurposing clothes is always a fun experience especially when it results in a kindle case that looks brand new! Check out all the details at Catch up with Kaitlin.

3. Pocket Kindle Case

If you want your little device to be extra safe and perhaps a little concealed, a pocket Kindle case is a great choice. On the outside you can’t really tell what’s hiding inside of the case, which makes it a much safer option in busy cities and public transport. Get the tutorial at While They Snooze!

4. Multi-Functional Kindle Case

If you are on the go a lot, you probably love items that are multi-functional and serve more than just one purpose. It’s hard to always carry around many items that clutter your purse, so we know you’re going to be super excited about this Kindle case we found at Whistlepig Creek Productions Blog!

A lot of cases are made in a way that allows you to simply slip your Kindle inside and you’re good to go, but if you want an extra level of safety and an insurance policy that your favorite gadget is not going to fall out, adding a button is a must! Find out all about it at Stitched by Crystal!

One of the things that make Kindle super cool and far more advanced than books is that it makes reading more convenient in different situations because you don’t always have to hold it – but you will need a special case for that, one that doubles as a stand.
