Leather or Hard Case for Kindle 3 under $10, iPad under $7

I just ran across these great deals on a case for the Kindle 3 (most of the deals I've seen have been for the Kindle 2 and those won't fit the K3 properly).

mCover® Black Leather Folio Cover Cover Case ($9.95). What I really like about this case is the pocket on the side and how it appears that the Kindle will be very securely held. Looks like those who have one agree, as it has only 4 and 5 star reviews. There is even a video in one "review" that shows how the Kindle fits into the case. There are more colors shown on the product page than black, but so far, this appears to be the only one available (I'd bet the cream/white one will sell well, once it is available, though).

Description
  • Custom designed to fit the latest 3rd generation Kindle (6" Display, WIFI & 3G model) perfectly
  • Design to protect ALL corners for Kindle 3 reader
  • Built-in inner pocket to hold miscellanous stuff like money or credit cards
  • All ports, keys and controls accessible

Clear mCover® Polycarbonate Hard Shell Cover Case ($9.99), includes a built-in stand, for reading hands free or using the Kindle in your Kitchen.

  • Custom designed to protect and fit the Kindle 3 perfectly

  • The ONLY Kindle 3 hard case with foldable/retractable feet to let the kindle 3 stand on the table so that you can read more comfortably. The foldable feet folds flat at one finger's touch.
  • 2-piece(top + bottom) light-weight(only 3 oz or 75 g) shell cases easily snaps on and off.

The Green iPearl mCover® High Grade Silicone Skin Cover Case ($4.99) is brand new, it appears (and also comes in purple and orange at the same price).

Description
  • Made of high-quality durable, washable, soft silicone material.
  • Custom designed to protect and fit the Kindle 3 perfectly
  • Use the charger, cable or headset without removing the skin or leather case
  • Prevent your Amazon kindle 3 from scratches and accidental drops
  • Lightweight to allow you to read comfortably for extended periods of time

If you do a search at Amazon for mCover Kindle cases, you'll find a few other styles as well, at various prices, all discounted significantly from list.

If your Kindle reader is really an iPad, you'll definitely want to look at the Leather Carrying Case Cover/Folio With Built-in Stand for Apple iPad ($6.53). This is the case I have on my iPad and I really like it (even though I paid nearly 80 cents more than this sale price!). It snaps close when shut and works well for viewing the iPad horizontally, which works great for movies or using the picture viewer. If I was ordering today, I'd have to also consider their updated design ($14.95), which snaps in the middle, rather than the top, and has larger pockets to carry full size pages and not just business cards and a couple of memory cards.

Description
  • 13 setting adjustable stand that holds iPad at an ideal angle for watching videos and slideshows
  • Professionally Designed Case Holds Apple iPad Perfectly on all sides. No cheap, unreliable straps.
  • Perfect for Carrying to Work or Traveling
  • Secure flap to ensure ipad is safe when loaded into the pouch
