Have You Seen Amazon’s New Water-Safe Cork Cover for Kindle Paperwhite?

June 15, 2019 by Nathan

Kindle Cork Cover

Amazon has released a new premium water-safe cork cover for the latest Kindle Paperwhite. As far as Kindle covers go it’s pretty unique.

The Kindle cork cover is available in tan or brown and it sells for $44.99 at Amazon, and it’s only available for the 10th gen waterproof Kindle Paperwhite.

Considering the Kindle Paperwhite is currently on sale starting at $99, $45 is pretty steep for a cover.

But Amazon’s covers are always more pricey than 3rd party covers (except right now they’re unloading a bunch of used leather Kindle Paperwhite covers for cheap).

According to the description Amazon released the cork covers for Earth Day 2019, which was April 22nd (apparently nobody noticed), and $1 from each unit goes to support Earth Day Network’s Canopy Project.

The cork covers are made from 23-27% recycled products. The outer cover material is made out of cork and there’s a plastic insert on the inside to hold the Kindle.

Like other Kindle covers, it has a magnet to hold the cover closed and it will automatically turn the Kindle on and off when opening and closing the cover.

This is the first Kindle case I’ve seen make out of cork. It seems like it would be pretty lightweight but they neglect to mention how much it weighs (according to the shipping weight it’s the same 5.6 oz as Amazon’s other Paperwhite covers).

    I actually saw this when it came out and was disappointed they didn’t release it for the Oasis. I’d probably buy it if they did.

    I would totally buy one for the Oasis. From one of the Amazon customer reviews: “The inner cover is also the same texture as the outer cover. I mention this because some kindle covers have an inner cover that is felt-like to protect the screen, which can double as a lint-collector.” That’s my biggest pet peeves with the official Amazon covers.

      Agreed. Also felt isn’t the least bit grippy.

    This has been around for months. Oddly enough, GoodEReader just discovered it to.

    Coincidence?

    To me this isn’t at all appealing, but at least they’re being creative.
