Amazon Kindle Leather Lit Case
Ignore the dozens of one-star reviews on Amazon - these are all complaints about Amazon's lack of stock. The lit case itself was a big hit with the previous generation of Kindle (or Kindle Keyboard, as it's now known), and adds night time reading to the device usually lacking on account of the e-ink screen.
Price: £49.99

Marware Atlas Kindle Case
A folio-style case with a soft fabric interior. The outside is imitation leather, but the light colours are a nice break from the standard dour, darker Kindle cases.

Marware Eco-View Case
With fake leather on the outside and "microsuede" on the inside, the Eco-View case is a solid blend of luxury and green thinking. It's also something of a looker, if business-chic is your thing.
