A Kindle Case? Why on earth would I need that? It’s not like Woot.com is selling one right now...oh.

seriously? you guys are being pretty harsh on woot over this.

i mean there's a kindle (new not refurb) for 150 - thats a good deal no matter how you shake it.

this case is a good deal too. :shrug:

you act as though deals.woot is somehow higher class than walmart stuff - have you seen the deals lately? heh

I've been liking the new Wal-Mart Deal of the Days (they only started that a few weeks ago), the official updated Amazon case is $35, this is similar, and a great price.
--
Some people have reviewed the old and new Kindle 2 Cases as cracking the kindle because of the hinge (like if you purposely try to bend it at an angle), this case would prevent that.

Goes nicely with the Woot Deal of the day. Wonder when Amazon will acquire Wally World.

@hobbit: I was wondering what impact the Amazon/Woot deal would have on the deals.woot side. My question has been (partially) answered.

@mtrlgrl: well we post deals from Amazon anyway. I am almost over the shock.

I bit on the Kindle last night, didn't see this deal on the sleeve until it was sold out. After a little research, looks to me like this is (was) not only cheaper than most of the alternatives but also looks a lot nicer - though noteworthy that I couldn't find reviews for any of these Merkury products. Nevertheless: Woot, if you can get Walmart to get more of these in stock (can you even do that?), or provide a link to a good alternative site or product, I'd really appreciate it!

@russchott: That isn't quite the same one offered earlier, and actually not cheaper once you add shipping (but the difference is pretty minor, since Walmart charged tax).

But I ran with it and a little more searching turned up the Executive version and even for a buck less. http://www.amazon.com/M-k2c210-Amazon-Kindle-Executive-Folio/dp/B003EXOVM8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1278008344&sr=1-1

Thanks!

Yeah i didn't account for shipping until after I posted it; See what you do when you take a second to browse while you're trying to work?

Oddly, it actually looks like work when you are browsing the site you work on.

@muaddweeb: Well ... crap.

Will have to remember to check how many are in stock next time I post something.

Good alternative, but I like the way the Merkury Executive case seems to encase the Kindle with leather borders, rather than with flimsy corner straps. Seems sturdier and safer. From the pictures, I can't even tell how Amazon's own case keeps the thing secure. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002Y27P6O/ref=s9_simh_gw_p400_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=017CWAZYY1XGNQGRBXEW&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846

@gwintner: The Amazon case seems very nice to me, though I have no other to compare it to.

Along the left edge of the Kindle are two very small slots. The Amazon case 2 includes small metal hooks along the inside of the spine (visible in the second-to-last photo on the Amazon page you linked to).

The bottom hook is fixed, while the top hook is spring-loaded. You push the springed hook down and slide the hooks into the slots on the edge of the Kindle, and then release the springed hook. These hooks latch onto the Kindle and hold it securely.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
