The Best Kindle Accessories

This clear case from CoBak is nice and thick and has reinforced corners—perfect for if you're a chronic dropper.

If you want something tough to protect your Kindle that isn't bulky, I like this sleek case. It has a hard exterior shell with a soft interior to protect your Kindle Paperwhite or Colorsoft.

PopSockets has a nice range of Kindle cases that add a MagSafe ring for its grips (or other MagSafe grips you might have). PopSocket puts the ring in the lower third of the back, so these cases are great for folks who like to hold the bottom of their e-reader. The Dragon Sterling is my current favorite design, but PopSocket has a ton to choose from.

If you like the idea of a case that includes a MagSafe ring but want the ring toward the middle of the device, or just want a more minimalist design, this simple case works perfectly. The center placement was still comfortable for my smaller hands, and the translucent black was stylish without forcing me to commit to a loud and colorful,wanton design.

These silicone straps are super simple to use: Just pull them over opposite corners and you're done. No sticky adhesive, no magnets, just simple straps. The set comes with two, but using just one felt plenty secure.

This strap is similar to the Strapsicle, but it has a softer feel and can stretch farther. It's both affordable and supercomfortable, and it can be used with a slim case.

PopSockets makes a huge range of PopGrips that can attach with either a MagSafe adapter or an adhesive. You can find almost anything for every kind of style, but my go-to is the Nightshade PopGrip. The colors are like an oil slick kaleidoscope.

Can't find your preferred design on a grip or something that perfectly matches your style? Make your own. PopSockets prices these custom PopGrips pretty similarly to the premade ones, so it's worth making your own if you have a specific aesthetic—or want to print something custom or fun for a gift!

This holder works for Kindles and tablets alike, and even my Nintendo Switch. The clamp base lets you attach it to tables and furniture, and it's easy to position in front of or even above you if you wanted to lie down and read.

If you want something that's freestanding, this pillow tablet stand holder works great for a Kindle. I use it on the couch, and I can sit up or lounge back and adjust the stand arm to suit my position. There are also two built-in cup and snack holders. Lamicall says they're food safe, but I just use it to hold my tea mug and phone.

Strapsicle has both sweet and spicy sticker sets that come with a variety of large, well-made stickers. I can squeeze about five onto my Kindle Paperwhite, and I usually just press them between the clear case and Kindle instead of actually sticking them onto my e-reader.

These charms plug into the USB-C port on the Kindle, and add a fun little touch to your e-reader without being in the way of your hands or Kindle holders. They take a little effort to put in, but I do like that it'll keep dust out, too,, while adding a little extra sparkle.

This sleek sling bag is a great size for bringing your Kindle and a few other necessities without being too bulky. Made in collaboration with Gen Phoenix, the GRS-certified recycled leather exterior has a sturdy but smooth feel to it.

This sleeve not only keeps your Kindle safe in whatever bag you've stored it in, but adds a fun, mystical vibe. This one is compatible with the Kindle Paperwhite (2021), but the site offers both smaller and larger sleeves for other Kindles too.

Our all-around top favorite has an adjustable warm light (auto-adjusting if you choose the upgraded Signature version), three months of battery life, and a 7-inch screen for one of the best e-reader experiences.

My personal favorite Kindle is the older Scribe. It's a combination of an e-reader and a digital notebook. There's a new version out, but I still really like the features (and price!) of the 2024 model.

Looking for something more affordable? The newest base Kindle is small yet mighty, and the matcha color is fun.

If you want a colorful Kindle, there's now a range of Kindle Colorsofts that can display your favorite covers and illustrated works in full technicolor, though slightly muted due to the e-paper screen technicolor. You'll lose dark mode on your menus, but you can switch the pages to turn to black instead.
