Just whipped this up, a belated Hannukah present for my husband (he got the Kindle, too). It's from this tutorial, which is perfectly easy to follow. Basically you rip apart a binder and use its chipboard to create the bones - then you cover it in fabric. An old headband serves as the elastic to keep the Kindle in place and to close the whole thing up. Doing the math to figure out all the dimensions takes awhile, as does cutting through chipboard with an Xacto knife. I didn't love machine-sewing right next to chipboard, but it definitely works!
Are you wondering about the fabric choice? I took out a big heap of all my "manliest" fabrics for hubby to choose from - and one fabric for sewing a baby present. Guess which one he chose?
