Posted on September 6, 2010 by

Dadjunk.com shared a DIY project for making a cheap and fun case for your Kindle e-book reader, using an old book. Irony alert! I decided to try it out this weekend and here's the results.  Check the pics and a quick video of how it went for me.

I'm a complete spaz when it comes to crafty projects, so I'm sure you could do much better!

Here's all the complicated tools you need to create your own e-book case:

Funny story: When I was at the Strand Bookstore looking for the right book to make into the Kindle case, I was walking around holding up my Kindle next to various books to size it properly.  Another guy saw me doing this and pulled out his Kindle from his pocket. "I'm doing the same thing you are!" he said, smiling. "Check out the poetry section. The books are pricier, but they size much better."

Thanks for sharing this, Dadjunk.com!
