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).

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.

• Professionally Designed Case Holds Apple iPad Perfectly on all sides. No cheap, unreliable straps.
• Perfect for Carrying to Work or Traveling

Game of the Day - Mary Kay Andrews

Mary Kay Andrews: The Fixer Upper ($2.99), a game download for your PC, is Amazon's Video Game Deal of the Day.

Game Description
After her boss in a high-powered Washington public relations firm is caught in a political scandal, fledgling lobbyist Dempsey Jo Killebrew is left almost broke, unemployed, and homeless. Out of options, she reluctantly accepts her father's offer to help refurbish Birdsong, the old family place he recently inherited in Guthrie, Georgia. All it will take, he tells her, is a little paint and some TLC to turn the fading Victorian mansion into a real-estate cash cow.

But, oh, is Dempsey in for a surprise when she arrives in Guthrie. "Bird Droppings" would more aptly describe the moldering Pepto Bismol–pink dump with duct-taped windows and a driveway full of junk. There's also a murderously grumpy old lady, one of Dempsey's distant relations, who has claimed squatter's rights and isn't moving out. Ever!

Furthermore, everyone in Guthrie seems to know Dempsey's business, from a smooth-talking real-estate agent to a cute lawyer who owns the local newspaper. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the pesky FBI agents who show up on Dempsey's doorstep, hoping to pry information about her ex-boss from her.

All Dempsey can do is roll up her sleeves and get to work. And before long, what started as a job of necessity somehow becomes a labor of love and, ultimately, a journey that takes her to a place she never expected—back home again.

• Based on the New York Times bestseller from Mary Kay Andrews.
• Watch Birdsong transform throughout the game as you work to restore it.
• Help Dempsey restore Birdsong and clear her name!
• Over 30 levels of hidden object gameplay
• Over 15 mini games to help fix up the house.
