Kindle 6'' Cover

DSC00471.JPG

I want to clarify that my native language is Spanish and my English is not the best, so this is translated by google translator

My new acquisition, a friend brought me U. S. a kindle and is definitely a very interesting device that performs the task for which it was designated in Wonderland, display electronic books. As no comparison with tables as they are two different things is like comparing a motorcycle to a bicycle, are two different things.

I have to emphasize how impressive the screen quality is better, the convenience of the arrangement of the keys to change the page, surprising is the ability to surf for free on the 3G version, but not a full browser, but gmail and twitter opens without problems.

Making a brief description does not fragile or anything like that, but one out there wants to take care of belongings to think of a case, but considering that the equipment in the U.S. 3G version costs $ 189, you can pay $ 29.99 per basic version yu $ 59.99 for one that has light. Then I saw the necessity to make a protector for my Kindle.
Covers were 2 until the first is in my possession and the second a little better care of the details is what I gave him my friend and which document the process.

Need 3 cardboards so the mark and cut, 2 of 13 cm x 20.5 cm and 1 of 1 cm x 20.5.

And can cut 2 strips of elastic about 10 cm each.

The elastic thread is advisable to cut after test whether the length is fine.

Closing Thread

We will have to make 2 holes with a drill to get through the elastic thread for the back cover.
With this, we passed the thread and paste, leading to the corners, in fact I do not hit me too but it was enough to hold it while continuing with the following steps.

Gluing the Elastic and EVA (foamy)

In the EVA (foam) we have to make some cuts as indicated in the picture, have a separation of 0.6 cm from the parallel, the ends are 2.5 cm and 10.5 cm more distant but from that point attention to the inside makes the cut. The latter is at 12.5 cm.
Pass the elastic and can be pasted (not recommended) or buckling.
