Step 6: Final Thoughts
Overall I'm very happy with the results of my first attempt here. The Kindle is secure and well protected, I have access to all the buttons, jacks and speakers, and I can fold the cover back on itself to give a slight incline to it for desktop use.
A few of things I would consider if I built another. First, the spine seems somewhat weak and I think it could need reinforcing at some point in the future. I am thinking about using fiberglass cloth and rubber cement so that it is strong but retains the flexibility that I want. Second, it might be nice is to get a book that is a little larger than this one and add some cutout space in the foam for headphone or synch cable storage. Lastly, I would consider an elastic band to keep the book closed. just a couple of eyelets and some 1/8" black elastic band under the first foam bracket would do the trick nicely. Oh well...Live and Learn.
