Marware SportGrip Silicone Skin Case for Kindle Cover, White (will only fit Kindle)

Excellent skin, exactly as described, in true white (not transparent). Fits the kindle like a glove and has every button individualized. However, because it is a somewhat thick skin it does make it harder to change pages (you have to press on the bezel buttons harder, making the kindle difficult to use with just one hand).

The Kindle SportGrip is a soft rubberised cover which fits perfectly over my Kindle with easy access to all the buttons. It provides protection to the corners and the back, but not to the front of the Kindle which is open to the elements. However, it does not provide as much protection as a proper leather type case which would be more resistant to, for example, the Kindle being dropped.

The cover has a nice, non slip feel to it and is quite light. I am not sure what sports the manufacturers had in mind for its use, but it's fine in the gym on the static bikes etc. There are drawbacks in terms of looks and lack of protection when compared with some of Marware's more all encompassing covers but I am not sure there are any obvious advantages.

Before I got the Marware Sportgrip Silicone case, I didn't have a cover for my Kindle and I was unsure whether I really needed one and what difference it would make. But now, having used my Kindle with the cover on, I can see that it is a good idea. This is a durable silicone case which snugly fits on my Kindle and protects it from damage. I found that I had to press a little harder on the buttons after I fitted the case which is my main criticism. The other negative is the lack of style: this case is practical and durable but it is pretty boring and, considering it is simply a piece of black silicone, the price is pretty high. But it does the job and I am happy with it.

We already have a Marware Eco-Flip Leather Cover for Kindle and although it's great there are times when we needed something a bit more streamlined and less 'formal' for everyday use, so decided to give this SportGrip sleeve a try. From past experience with similar mobile phone covers I know some silicon covers are total lint magnets and pick up every bit of dust or fluff they come into contact with - so far this SportGrip sleeve seems to have avoided that, the cover has a nice secure non-slip feel to it but remains relatively lint-free in use. Still not sure why it's called the 'SportGrip' - maybe more athletic readers use their Kindles as ping-pong bats at the weekend?

The other concern with silicon sleeves is the balance between being thick enough to offer some bump protection and still be thin enough to allow easy use of all the controls. Again the SportGrip gets this about right, maybe erring a bit on the side of cushioning - you do have to press a couple of the Kindle buttons slighty more firmly than before but it's a worthwhile compromise for the extra protection. I only wish we'd got it sooner as our Kindle is showing some wear and tear, but then once inside its new sleeve you'd never know. Note, there's no screen protection at all with this cover so you need to purchase screen protectors separately if you feel you need them. It's not the cheapest silicon Kindle sleeve but it's the best I've seen (and felt).

ordered this on boxing day and it arrived on Thursday. Ordered it in grey. Its a snug fit and will protect the device from bumps and scrapes. I'm very happy with the product

Fits very well and is easy to remove if you need to. I purchased it as I travel alot and wanted something to protect the cover of my Kindle from scratches when taking it in and out of bag. You can still use the buttons on the front and side very easily.

I Love It!

Although it is a little expensice I still really like it..It is a snug fit and easy to put on.
I have had a kindle keyboard, i think the side buttons are easier to turn pages on than the new kindle, However this amazing cover has just made that so much easier..
I love the grip on it, it doensn't feel like it is going to slip out of my hands at all.
it does add a little weight to it but I think this this is a good thing (I know the idea was to have a lighter kindle) but I do think that this cover makes it easier to handle.

I Love It!

Looks a bit plastic-y, but in fact durable and practical. I am happy with the product although what I was really seeking was a screen cover.

Very nice case. Has survived being chewed on by my kids, dropped in the toilet, down the side of the bed and in my cereal. And the Kindle inside is fine. Certainly worth the money I paid.
...I just wish there was a purple one.

i bought this to protect my beloved kindle from the sea, splashes, sand and lotions when on holiday and neutral colour means my husband will use it too
