The Kindle Accessories I Never Want to Read Without (2026)
Your Kindle doesn't have to be just a plain e-reader. The right Kindle accessories can transform the simple device into something that showcases your personality, makes it easier to read, or all of the above. Personally, I'm always looking for a way to hold up one less device in front of my face; I'm holding my phone enough already, thank you very much.
If you're shopping around for new Kindle accessories, I've got you covered as a fellow reader and owner of every single current Kindle model. I've tried everything from clear cases you can fill with stickers to ones with built-in straps, and have tested straps you can add to your e-reader without needing a case. Stickers? Charms? Got ’em. Hate holding your Kindle up to read? The Kindle holders and page-turning remotes are for you. This guide will give you ideas on how to improve your own reading time or gift your favorite reader.
As new Kindle models are rolling out that aren't the same size as the old, it's important to double-check what size and generation Kindle accessory you're getting. Most accessories in this guide were tested on the 2024 generation, unless otherwise noted.
Updated October 2026: I've added notes on the new Kindle Page Turn Case and Kindle Click, plus cases and grips from Bondi.
An easy must-have for any Kindle reader is a case or cover to protect your e-reader. Here are some of my favorites that I've tried on my various Kindles.
All of these were tested on 2024 models of the Kindle, usually the 7-inch Paperwhite or Colorsoft. The new 2026 generation has some slight size differences, so if you're shopping for accessories for a newer Kindle, double-check if there's a version for the model you have.
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.
