Leatherlike Kindle Paperwhite case
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite and Colorsoft – PlantBased Cover
Made from 76% “plantbased” materials, this case for the Kindle Paperwhite and Colorsoft Signature Edition is crafted from corn and viscose fibre along with 24% hardwearing polyurethane. It offers many of the same benefits as the regular fabric case – including the automatic wake/sleep support, foldable design with magnets, and soft microfibre interior for screen protection – but costs a little more due to the material.
Amazon used to sell a highquality leather cover for the Paperwhite, but has now replaced it with this plantbased version. After trying it handson, we can confirm it provides a grippy texture and reliable protection, but doesn’t quite have the feel of real leather. The brand doesn’t sell a version for the entrylevel Kindle, but it does make a plantbased cover for the Kindle Scribe, available in Jade and Black.
Fabric Kindle Scribe case
Amazon Kindle Scribe Fabric Folio Case
A price of £55 may feel quite steep for a Kindle case, but there are some notable benefits with this Kindle Scribe cover. Firstly, this fabric model is just as suited for the 2022 variant of the Kindle Scribe as it is for the latest release from 2024, and it lets you stash your stylus in a dedicated holder. There’s also an angled stand position that we can see being useful whether you’re reading or taking notes.
One thing to note about this case is that it’s more of a “folio” style that attaches with magnets, so it doesn’t offer wraparound protection for the corners of your Scribe. It’s a cleverlydesigned, lightweight and stylish cover, but we think it might be worth looking at a compatible Kindle Scribe sleeve if you want comprehensive protection.
Kindle case with a hand strap
MoKo Case for Kindle (11th Generation, 2024/2022 Release)

This one comes in more than 20 different colours and designs, has a magnetic closure, supports automatic wake/sleep and boasts a builtin kickstand for handsfree reading. It also fits all 6inch Kindles, going back to the model released in 2016.
Kindle Paperwhite case with a hand strap
MoKo Case for Kindle Paperwhite (12th/11th Generation, 2024/2021) and Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition
Compatible with 6.8inch and 7inch Paperwhite and Colorsoft models, this case is available in over 20 different colourways and styles, including options featuring florals and forests.
It has a useful hand strap for comfortable reading, something that’s particularly beneficial for these models which are a little larger to use onehanded compared to the smallest Kindle – this could be an absolute lifesaver if you’re reading while standing on a commuter train, for example.
Cheap Kindle Paperwhite case
ZhaoCo Case for Kindle Paperwhite 2021/2024 and Colorsoft Signature Edition
This affordable case will set you back only a tenner and will work if you’ve got a 6.8inch or 7inch Kindle like the Paperwhite or Colorsoft. It uses a stretchy silicone material to grip your ebook reader and has a builtin stand. As a cheaper case, though, you might find it harder to get a perfect fit.
Cheap Kindle case
MoKo Lightweight Shell Cover for Kindle (11th Generation, 2024/2022 Release)
At only £15, this is a significantly cheaper case than the (£30) fabric Kindle design. It still supports automatic wake/sleep and has a magnetic closure and soft microfibre lining for the screen. We’ve linked to the most affordable black colourway, and it’s worth noting that the floral and more colourful designs can cost around £18 or £19, depending on which style you pick.
Clear Kindle case
MoKo Translucent Case for Kindle (11th Generation2024/2022 Release)
A flappy Kindle case isn’t for everyone, so these clear options tend to be a hit with those wanting to personalise their Kindle with their own stickers. It’s designed just to cover the back of your Kindle and is available in “frosted”, “black” and completely clear styles, with some fun designs featuring glitter or flowers too.
They’re all quite affordable, and some of the styles have added grip and reinforced corners too. It’s worth noting that this case is available for the 7inch Kindle Paperwhite, too.
Kindle sleeve
Comfyable Sleeve for Kindle Paperwhite
If you’d prefer not to add extra bulk to your Kindle while you’re using it but need something to keep it safe while in transit, you’re probably after a sleeve like this that’ll offer a snug fit and enough protection from any bumps and scratches while you carry it in your bag. The faux leather cover has a soft felt lining and comes in four classic colours.
We’ve also spotted this slim Kindle sleeve from Harber London, if you’d prefer a genuine leather that’ll age with a unique patina over time.
