Kindle/nook/Sony Covers Deals

CrazyOnDigital had a pretty good sale last month on accessories for your Kindle (and there are still some at very good prices, although the charging stand for the Kindle2 has gone up to $14.99; I heard back from one reader that snapped one up before they went out of stock during the sale and she loved it). Today, I found a few Kindle accessories from USA Gear that are tempting and a little more subdued (and suitable for taking to business meetings). First, a Protective Neoprene Hard Cover with Plush-Suede Interior for $9.99.
  • Tough neoprene outer shell provides plenty of protection for your Kindle
  • Scratch-resistant mount construction allows you to firmly secure your Kindle
  • Accommodates all buttons, headphone and charging ports
  • Makes your Kindle easier to hold and more BOOK-LIKE
  • Guaranteed quality backed by a generous 3-year manufacturer's warranty
If you don't like the cover and prefer a sleeve, they have one of those also, the Neoprene CoverGuard for $8.99, which comes with a cleaning cloth for the screen and has a separate pocket that will hold a USB cable and/or some earbuds (another listing without the cleaning cloth, at the same price, says it will fit the nook and Sony readers, as well).
  • Dense neoprene material protects your E-Reader from drops, bumps, scratches and scrapes
  • Additional accessory pocket lets you store memory cards, card readers, charger and charging accessories
  • Easy-to-grip handle makes it easier for you to bring around
  • Comes with a free 3-Year Warranty
The third item from USA Gear is a more of a purse or netbook style carrying case, the E-Library Bag for $16.99, which mysteriously comes with a "Cleaning Blower Brush and Accessory Bag." This looks like a re-purposed camera bag and there are, again, two listings at the same price, with the second one HERE. Either should work fine for the Kindle or Kindle 2, and probably for the nook, Sony Reader or even a netbook or the iPad. In fact, a third listing is two dollars cheaper and is labeled as the iPad compatible version (and this one has free shipping as well, so a total of $14.99).
  • Heavy Duty Zippered compartment pockets
  • Interior Zippered Mesh Pockets
  • Scratch resistant interior lining
  • Made with Weather Resistant Nylon
  • 3 Year Warranty & Package Includes: Scratch-Guard Protector Bag & Blower Brush
The last one I found is from M-Edge, the M-Edge Destination Bag for nook. The pictures show a fully clothed nook inside, so it should also fit a Kindle2 (and definitely the smaller Sony), but it is shorter than the M-Edge Journey Bag that I have for my original Kindle. Both bags are on sale for $29.99 right now, and give you completely different looks and both are a bit more feminine than the USA Gear bag.
  • This sleek and sophisticated bag is crafted of leather in six vibrant colors, including marbled red, pebbled purple, jade green, smooth black, smooth mocha brown, and pebbled cream with saddle. (patent pending)
  • Meticulous detailing and seamless stitching provide readers with superior protection and organization while traveling and on-the-go
  • Soft grey microfiber interior provides maximum device protection while two interior elastic pockets allow for storage of charger, e-Luminator2, and other accessories
  • Bag includes a specially designed zipper pocket perfectly sized to accommodate naked nook as well as an adjustable, removable shoulder strap
  • Bag s interior contains two roomy compartments for storage of your nook device while in a jacket, nook accessories, and other personal items
