14 best Kindle cases and sleeves to get this year

The best and most creative Amazon Kindle 2019 (10-th generation) cases from around the web
In search for the perfect case for your newest Kindle, don’t limit yourself to Amazon. Make sure to explore other online destinations: Etsy, Walmart, Best Buy, or eBay.

Sometimes it’s worth spending 30 more minutes on exploring other online destinations to pick up a Kindle case that would better meet your needs and reflect who you are.

Since the release of Kindle 2019 model, new cases and sleeves are being continually released, getting more and more reviews and making their way to the top of Amazon search results pages.

Many users who had been looking for Kindle cases previously, know the easiest way to get a solid cover is to spend 5 more minutes on Amazon and add it to shopping cart together with the Kindle. Task completed.

Majority of users limit themselves to original Amazon covers for Kindle. These cases are being released the same day as the e-reader, so there is no need to wait for third-party alternatives.

Jump to the list

Yes, original covers offer highest possible quality and they are perfectly tailored for each Kindle. They are, however, expensive. You can get a third-party alternative for half the price.

Besides that, there is a limited number of available variants. And it’s when more and more Kindle fans start exploring other possibilities.

Our advice: don’t limit yourself to Amazon. Even if you search the entire store, and not only the section with select Kindle cases and accessories, you may miss a case that would perfectly fit your expectations.

In the list below, you will see recommendations we’ve found not only on Amazon, but also Etsy, eBay, Walmart, and other online stores. This list is developing, so stay with us.

Will my old case fit Kindle 2019?

First, let’s clear confusion related to the naming. The Kindle model released in April 2019 is:

  • Kindle, 10th-generation – on the contrary, the 2018 Kindle Paperwhite is “Kindle Paperwhite, 10th-generation,”
  • Kindle 9 – a previous generation basic Kindle released in 2016 was “Kindle 8,”
  • Kindle 2019 – a year of the release is the most reliable way to name the current model.

As you will see in a table below, the 2019 Kindle model is slightly smaller and thinner than its predecessor. Don’t get too excited. The shape of the new model is slightly different from the previous generation.

Basic Kindle dimensions

Model Inches Millimeters
Basic Kindle 9 (2019) 6.3 × 4.5 × 0.34 160 × 113 × 8.7
Basic Kindle 8 (2016) 6.3 × 4.5 × 0.36 160 × 115 × 9.1

Therefore, any case using a plastic frame to hold the device in place won’t fit the new Kindle. Back shells are designed to perfectly fit the specific model. The 2-millimeter difference in width will make your new Kindle fall out of the old case.

However, if you have any of the following cases and sleeves, you’d be able to use it with the 10th-generation Kindle released in 2019:

  • a case with elastic corner straps
  • a case with elastic leather frame
  • a sleeve
