Making a Kindle Cover

Father's Day Gift! (don't let him see!!!)  My mom got a Kindle for my step-dad for Christmas, and he has yet to protect it...so I got to it and made a cover!

I was looking for a book-type design, but nothing I found completely suited my fancy.  I got my final ideas from Dixie Mango (here and here) and did a lil combo.

Things I changed from the tutorials: snap instead of velcro, I put 1" elastic in the triangle corners (which I stretched when sewing in to give a lil extra holding grip).
Things I used: interfacing (soft for cushioning and sturdy for support), the Kindle holder but I enlarged the corner fabric, I also gave the cover an outline of book-binding.

Things to keep in mind: put the soft interfacing closest to the device and the sturdy stuff on the outside, make sure to measure your device (this kindle is approx. 4.75" x 6.75" x .35") and keep it handy as you work to double check all the fittings, and you can change the design to hold an number of technological devices!
