The need for a hard case
What have you found for an aftermarket case for the Kindle. Nada. Bupkis. Amazon really pulled an apple apparently and didn’t let anyone really know when it was coming out, nor that they might like an aftermarket to exist for it. I have a lot of ideas on how a case could be made for the unit and just wonder if anyone else out there is thinking first to market might be nice…
So if you know of a case maker give them a nudge or if you are aware of a case that is out there respond here and in the discussion pages. I bet they could sell at least 3/4 of us on an alternative tot he default case, which by the way is now out of stock as well.

One reader suggested using DVD player cases. I have looked on line, and the measurements seem right. They come in metal cases. Also someone posted a case for a hard drive with a picture with his Kindle in it. These options are also cheaper than the current ones currently made for the Kindle such as SF Bags, and M-edge. A link for the Case Logic hard drive case is below. http://www.amazon.com/Medium-External-HD-Case-Black/dp/B000HGGA24/ref=pd_ybh_6?pf_rd_p=280800601&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_t=1501&pf_rd_i=ybh&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=023KRJXH85DVC0ZYAECT
