My Moleskine Kindle2 case
I never go anywhere without a Moleskine notebook . It’s a repository for ideas, to-do lists, phone numbers and anything else that needs paper and pen to record. I cover the outside with coffee labels, ticket stubs, security stickers….anything that allows me to identify the filled note books as they stack up in my office. When my Kindle2 arrived I wanted to find a case that looked a little more organic that the ones that were popping up everywhere. I trimmed out a few pages from this 5.25 x 8.25 inch plain notebook and added a custom skin to create a stealthy e-reader. The elastic band holds everything in place when closed and then stabilizes the Kindle when the notebook is open in the reading position.
this is awesome, ive had my kindle for a few weeks now and have been really frustrated with the lack of creative cases that are available, my biggest worry is scrathing or cracking the screen, but it seems this is definietly an idea to try!! how did u make the skin? thanx – megday@doodlesbyday.com
This one is pretty easy to make. I just trimmed out half of the pages on my full Moleskine. The Kindle2 rests in the space where the pages used to be. It’s all held in place by the elastic band that comes on the Moleskine. When you open the notebook to read, the elastic band is repositioned so it holds the Kindle2 in place. It’s not super secure but it works. You can find skins for almost everything here

very good idea. i see you like to use starbucks coffee stickers on your moleskine as well. good choice.
Nothing like putting an electronic-book-type-reading device into a bookish case.

Wow! That’s a great idea and turned out really well
Thanks. I’d like to add the connector that factory Kindle cases come with but I’m not sure where to get one. Some people have bought new cases just for the connector and then added it to their homebrew case.
