According to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), many readers are introverts, particularly those with the ISTP personality type. They often enjoy their own company and rely on themselves for entertainment. Readers are typically creative, exceptionally logical, and possess a natural affinity for arts and literature while engaging in various hobbies such as crafting and thrifting.
While readers might naturally be introverted, they still need to be heard. Experts suggest that this need for expression often happens in more subtle ways. Silence speaks volumes in the world of reading, but hints of one’s personality may be found in everyday items like the case you choose for your digital reader.
Imagine you are on a train filled with strangers when someone walks by with the coolest LED Harry Potter Kindle case you have ever seen. Without a second thought, you know this person is a Harry Potter fan who has likely read all the books and seen every movie. Secretly, you feel a twinge of jealousy because you want a case just like theirs. After all, it clearly shows their love for Harry Potter and recognizes them as a knowledgeable reader.
You glance down at your plain black case and realize it might be time to liven things up. The black is boring and not what you want to portray to the world. You have two options: add some stickers to your current case or buy a new one. Thankfully, plenty of fantastic cases and stickers are available to help you add some personality to your device.
Cases express your personality, but more importantly, they protect your reading device from damage when they fit properly.
It’s essential to choose the right cover for your device. Before purchasing a case, record the device’s dimensions and the locations of any external buttons or sensors that should remain accessible. Consider whether you want a case with a stand or other portable accessories and what material you want. Typically, cases are made from plastic, leather, metal, and rubber-type materials like silicon or gel. They have safety features like shockproof or weather-resistant.
Devices are items you carry with you at all times and often access; choosing a cover design that reflects your personality and style is essential. The reason is simple: when you appreciate something, you are more likely to take care of it; this is the psychology behind self-expression.
Here are some examples of extraordinary Kindle cases designed especially for readers.
The MoKo Case is designed for the 7-inch and 6.8-inch Kindle Paperwhite models (12th/11th Generation – 2024/2021) and the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition. This slim PU shell cover features an integrated stand and a wrist strap for easy carrying. It includes an auto-wake/sleep function and a magnetic closure for convenience. This popular model is available in various colours, floral patterns, and warm, whimsical landscapes. It is intelligent and practical; perfect for those who appreciate a conservative yet colourful aesthetic.
For artistic expressive individuals, the Sakenityl case for the Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (12th Generation, 2024 Release), and Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition 7-inch cover with hand strap features popular images and artwork from famous painters like Monet as well as expressive and comical quotes like “Don’t touch me.”
If you seek a unique cover, consider a custom-designed model like the “skeleton” reader design available on Etsy. Search for covers in the design you want, such as characters from popular books and movie titles.
The choice of a case for your Kindle or any other reading device—flashy, subtle, or unique—reveals more about your personality than you might realize. If you have something to express, do it boldly and with pride. If you can’t find the perfect case, consider making your own using stickers, paint, and other craft materials. Show your true personality because reading is about sharing a unique story.
