Kindle pouches...

I knocked up a little pouch for my Kindle yesterday, it took me about 10 mins. (on profile) everyone has been admiring it. (not sure if thats out of kindness though!)
I thought since they are so quick and really cheap to make I could knock up a few and put them on ebay... Amazon charge so much for cases, I know mine isn't nearly as good as a proper case but it stops it getting scratched and thats all I need.
I worked out I could sell them for £5 to make a tine profit.
What does everyone think?

The picture isn't great, basicly its a felt pouch with a turned over top, decorated with lots of novelty buttons. Quite cute I think!

Cute.

I have a lighted cover, but when i'm going out and about, on the train for example, I was going to shove mine in an old sock Grin Your cover would be a damn sight chic-er, and well worth a fiver.

I worked out that to make them and advertise them on Ebay it would cost me about £1 per one so I could even sell them cheaper. I like to make all my stuff cheaper than everyone elses on ebay so the sell Blush

I have had people ask me for ones in certain colours with certain buttons or patches on already :)

Yay! Thats cute. I too made my own case as I didn't want to part with lots of bucks for an amazon one....

Mine is a cotton outer shell, with a flannel lining and a button closure. Just amended a pattern in a book for a glasses case. Stops it getting scratched and looking so naked on my bedside unit......Blush
