I received a kindle Touch as an unexpected present.

I have been offered the "offical" amazon case, with light, for it.

The reviews, on Amazon, are mixed.

Anybody have one, what do you think?

I know it is overpriced.

I also think it should come with some form of protective cover, even if it is only a soft feel bag wit h a string pull;)

    SWMBO has a kindle touch from Tesco. As we got a £3 voucher for kindle accessories we bought one of these. Just the job and she won't lose it easily :)

    Thanks - I did have one of these to go with it.

    Which looked fine unfortunately the bezel round the magnetic clasp button was broken and they couldn't exchange at the time.

    Someone kindly offered to pay for an "upgrade".

    I got a free Amazon light when I bought my Kindle. It causes problems. I used a cheap version from Tesco for a while with no issues, and then a leather case that wasn't a designated Kindle case but works and looks fantastic.

    I'd find an alternative, if only because the hours spent fixing it last time could have been much better spent!
