17 unique Kindle cases that you won’t find on Amazon

Best Kindle cases and sleeves that you will not find on Amazon

There are hundreds of stunningly beautiful Kindle cases and sleeves on Etsy. Make sure to see them before buying the same old cover on Amazon.

Most online shoppers assume that the ultimate destination to buy all products related to Kindle e-readers is Amazon. Are they right?

Yes – and no. It’s true that on Amazon you can find the largest number of Kindle cases and accessories.

There is, however, one problem with them. They are mainstream products designed to meet the common taste of the largest number of customers. Are you among them?

If you don’t rely on user ratings, don’t read detailed reviews, don’t depend on what other consumer like and buy, or don’t care whether the product has an “Amazon Choice” badge or not – and if you are looking for a Kindle case nobody else has – you are destined to explore other online destinations than Amazon.

You will be surprised how many great ideas for the Kindle case or sleeve you can find on Etsy. Below, there are just a few fantastic designs.

Etsy is the first brand which comes to mind when you consider signing up for another online store besides Amazon. This online marketplace for vintage and handmade goods is customers’ top of choice when it comes to customized gifts, personal accessories, home decor, clothing, and almost any category you could possibly think of.

Another thing you should keep in mind when looking for a Kindle case is the fact that accessories usually have higher prices during shopping seasons – when Amazon offers huge discounts on Kindle e-readers and Fire tablet. It’s when users usually add to their baskets various Kindle accessories, so their producers enjoy the harvest time. Why cut the price for Black Friday if customers are willing to buy the Kindle case for a regular price?

In other stores, there is a different story. On Etsy, many of the Kindle sleeves you will see in the following roundup are discounted by even 50%.
