Got yourself a new Kindle Paperwhite or Colorsoft? Great! Let's get a cover on that ASAP. A good cover will guard against scratches, scrapes and potential breakages, as well as adding a general protective layer. (These models are all IPX8 waterproof, but you can't be too careful.)

I've rounded up a selection of my favorite Kindle Paperwhite and Colorsoft cases below — these e-readers have the same proportions, so all the cases will work for either. I've included Amazon's own-brand options and covers from third-party retailers; patterned and plain options in a range of materials; covers that just snap over the front, and cases that envelope the entire Kindle. Most of these have auto-Sleep/Wake functions — so your Kindle will automatically sleep when you close the cover — as well as useful things like handles for a more secure grip. If you like to read and eat at the same time, look out for a case with a built-in stand, so you can keep both hands free.

Our Kindle Paperwhite (2024) review and Kindle Colorsoft review will provide more info about the models these cases are designed for, or if you haven't yet purchased your Kindle, my Kindle range guide can help you make sense of your options. If you're not in a rush, it might be a good idea to wait for Amazon Prime Day before you buy, because I'm expecting a number of Kindles to drop in price for that event. You can also hop to the bottom of this page for a more in-depth guide to which models these cases will fit.

I'll start with US cases — jump down the page for my top UK picks.

Which Kindles will these covers fit?

The Paperwhite and Colorsoft Kindle models have a 7-inch screen. These cases should fit the regular and Signature versions. Note that the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft is larger and won't fit these cases.

The cases in this roundup will fit any Kindle with a 7-inch screen (occasionally referred to, more accurately, as a 6.8-inch screen), which is the Paperwhite and Colorsoft models (excluding the Colorsoft Scribe, which has a larger screen). They'll definitely all work with the current generation of each model, which for the avoidance of doubt is:

• Kindle Paperwhite: 12th gen (2024)
• Kindle Paperwhite Signature: 12th gen (2024)
• Kindle Colorsoft: 1st gen (2024)
• Kindle Colorsoft Signature: 1st gen (2024)

They might also fit older Paperwhite models, but double-check the proportions to make sure before purchasing. The cases in this roundup won't fit the Classic Kindle (6-inch screen), Kindle Scribe (11-inch screen), or Scribe Colorsoft (11-inch screen).
