The Best Kindle Accessories I’ve Tested

This clear case from CoBak is nice and thick and has reinforced corners—perfect 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). PopSockets 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 PopSockets 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 design.

Bondi's cases let you position your grip wherever you want and move it around as needed. They have a fully magnetic back so you can place your grip of choice anywhere you please and move it around regularly. Great if you don't find the center to be a comfortable spot for your hand.

This cover adds page buttons back onto your Kindle years after the Kindle Oasis disappeared. Sadly, it will only work with the new 13th-gen Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition or the 2nd-gen Colorsoft Signature Edition. But if you plan to order either of those models, this cover works immediately with it and does a great job turning your pages or moving you up and down the screen (the forward button moves down the page, which makes sense but feels counterintuitive).

These silicone straps are super simple to use: Just pull them over opposite corners and you're done. No sticky adhesive, no magnets. 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 super comfortable, 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.

If you're looking for something to grip but don't love the thick PopSockets, Bondi Grips might be your style instead. It's a soft U-shaped design that you slide your fingers into, and personally, I found it more comfortable to hold with my smaller hands and hypermobility issues.

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 want 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 them to hold my tea mug and phone.

This is our favorite wall charger for Androids and iPhones alike; it will work great for Kindles, too.

I've had a collection of these charging blocks for a year and a half now, and they're still going strong. I use them for everything from my family's smartphones to my alarmingly large collection of e-readers.

This adorable little power bank is smaller than a deck of cards, but can deliver 20 watts to charge two devices at the same time with two USB-C ports. Use it to charge your phone and Kindle simultaneously wherever you are (and it comes in fun colors!)

If you don't want to worry about having a USB-C cord handy, try this wireless power bank. You'll need a Kindle Paperwhite or Colorsoft that supports wireless charging to use it, though.

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; 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 they'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, it adds a fun, mystical vibe. This one is compatible with the Kindle Paperwhite (2021), but QCC offers both smaller and larger sleeves for other Kindles too.

The 2026 Kindle Paperwhite still packs a warm front light, 16 GB of storage, and a 7-inch screen, making it the best Kindle for the price (though not as good as it used to be, since Amazon raised prices in August). There's also a new aluminum-backed Signature Edition that comes in two beautiful, metallic colors.

The new 2026 Kindle became immediately popular for the plastic version's cute Ube color option. There are two colorful aluminum versions too, with more storage. It's the cheapest Kindle available, but note that Amazon raised the 2024 model’s price before introducing the 2026 Kindle at the same price.

If you're thinking about upgrading from your existing Kindle, you might want to try a color screen instead of just black-and-white. It's not a necessity, but a nice bonus. You'll also get no lock-screen ads without having to pay extra, and there's an aluminum Signature Edition for this model, too.

My most-used Kindle is the older Scribe. It's a combination of an e-reader and a digital notebook. There are three variants of the third generation, but I still really like the features (and price!) of the 2024 model over the newest ones.
