The 5 Best Kindle Cases for 2025
Budget pick
Amazon-owned NuPro’s Kindle case is cheaper than the brand-name version, for the same quality and fit. It will also fit the previous Kindle model.
The NuPro Book Cover for Kindle (11th/12th generation, 2022/2024) offers the best mix of function and style for a lower price. Amazon is the parent brand of NuPro, and the quality doesn’t appear to differ much between the Amazon cases and these more budget-friendly ones.
The construction is solid enough to protect your Kindle from bumps and bruises. The NuPro case has a hard, plastic back for the Kindle to sit in and a thin front cover that closes securely with a magnet. Unlike many of the other cases we tested, the cover did not fall open when we tossed it in a bag or even when we held it upside down and lightly shook it. The cover was secure enough that we’re confident it won’t open accidentally in a bag and risk your Kindle getting scratched by keys or water bottles. It’s easy to use, and the microfiber lining on the inside of the cover is soft on your hand when you hold it with the cover folded back to read. The Kindle also felt secure in the case’s housing, but it wasn’t difficult to pop the device back out to switch cases.
The faux leather looks sleek and unobtrusive. While other faux leather models we tested often felt slimy or unpleasantly slick, the NuPro case’s exterior is soft, lightly grippy, and easy to handle. It’s also matte, so it’s harder to scratch and visibly mar. The plastic case matches the color of the cover (instead of being a generic black), which keeps it from looking cheap or mismatched. It also doesn’t have any gaudy branding on the cover to make you feel like a walking ad.
It has a magnetized cover for the auto-wake and sleep feature. This feature makes the Kindle even simpler to use, since you don’t have to reach down and press the power button every time you want to use it. Simply open the cover and it wakes up; close the cover again to put the Kindle back to sleep to save battery. The magnet in the NuPro case doesn’t fasten the cover to the back when you fold it over to read, but we didn’t find this too annoying.
It doesn’t break the bank. As of writing, the NuPro Kindle case hovers between $15 and $20, making it a little more wallet-friendly than our top pick. If you’re looking for a simple, everyday case, this easily does the job.
Flaws but not dealbreakers
You don’t have many colors to choose from. This is more of a workhorse and less of a case you can use to express yourself. The main staple colors this case comes in are black and navy, though a lavender color seems to be available from time to time. If you’re looking for a little more creative leeway, go with our top pick instead.
