The Kindle Accessories I Never Want to Read Without (2026)
Nena Farrell
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.

Kindle Cases and Covers
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.
CoBak
Clear Case
This clear case from CoBak is nice and thick and has reinforced corners—perfect if you're a chronic dropper.
Fintie
Shell Kindle Case
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
Kindle Paperwhite (12th Gen) Case
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.
Owkey
Magnetic Kindle Case
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
Kindle Paperwhite 12th Gen / Colorsoft Cases
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.
Amazon
Kindle Page Turn Cover
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).
Kindle Straps and Grips
Looking for an easier way to hold your Kindle? Add these straps and grips right onto the Kindle or the case.
Strapsicle
E-Reader Hand Strap
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.
CoBak
Secure Hand Strap for Kindle and Tablets
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
Nightshade PopGrip
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.
Bondi
Grips
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.
Kindle Holders
Hate holding up your Kindle? Or struggle with chronic pain that makes holding it feel terrible? These holders will literally take the weight out of your hands.
Lamicall
Gooseneck iPad Holder
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.
Lamicall
Tablet Pillow Stand Holder
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.

Kindle Click
Page turners have been the latest item to have as an e-reader user, but while Kobo launched a remote last year, Kindle had yet to have one—until now.
Kindle announced the release of the Kindle Click, its first Bluetooth page-turning remote, in early October, and it's finally available to buy. It's a huge improvement over third-party devices that required you to have one part of the device on your Kindle so it could tap and turn the page for you, and a remote in your hand. The worst part was not just that it blocked some of the screen, but that you had to track the battery life of two separate pieces.
The Kindle Click solves these complaints, and while it launched on the same date as the new Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Colorsoft, it's backward compatible with Kindle models from 2024. It's easy to set up: Just go into your device settings, click on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and then Bluetooth devices to sync your Kindle Click. I tried it with both a 2024 Kindle and a 2026 Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, and both devices were able to find the Click almost instantly and start working.
The Click has two buttons on the main body that move forward and backward and will move around a page you're on, too (but won't select a book for you; it'll just move through your library or homepage). There are also two buttons on the right side that let you adjust screen brightness, which is a fantastic convenience. There's also an included lanyard to attach it to your wrist. It's great to pair with a Kindle stand of any kind so you can prop up your Kindle and turn the page without lifting a finger.
Some Charger Options
If you're getting a new Kindle, you might not be thrilled to discover you need to provide your own charging block to charge it. And if you haven't already switched over your home's collection of wall chargers to USB-C, you'll be especially frustrated when you open the box and find only a USB-C cord. If you're in the market for a new wall charger to pair with your Kindle, these are a couple of our favorites.
Anker
Nano 45W With USB-C Cable
This is our favorite wall charger for Androids and iPhones alike; it will work great for Kindles, too.
Stamish
USB-C Charger Block
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.
Looking to charge on the go? You shouldn't need to with a Kindle's long battery life. But in case you're a serial battery drainer, you can try these portable power banks we love. If neither of these suit you, check out our complete guide to the Best Power Banks.
Nimble
Champ Portable Charger
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!)
Anker
MagGo Power Bank (10K) (Qi2)
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.
Kindle Adornments
While everything else in this guide serves a protective or convenience purpose, this section features items with a singular purpose: fun. Here are a few I've liked adding to my Kindle.
Strapsicle
Sweet Stickers
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.
Yoppix
Charms for Kindle (9pcs)
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.
Kindle Bags and Sleeves
Looking for a bag to tote your Kindle around? These carriers have you covered with a specific size and special pockets designed to safely store your device. Sure, you could throw your Kindle in any old bag, but these will keep it secure and prevent scratches from your keys. If you'd rather use the bag you have but want a separate sleeve to keep it safe, we've got ideas for that too.
Amazon
Kindle Sling Bag
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.
The Quirky Cup Collective
E-Reader Sleeves
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.
Still Need a Kindle?
If you're reading this guide and actually are still in need of a Kindle, we've got an entire guide to the best Kindles to buy and why. The newest models are (for the most part) the smartest buy, unless the older 2024 models are on sale.
Amazon
Kindle Paperwhite (2026, 13th Generation)
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.
Amazon
Kindle (2026, 12th Gen)
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.
Amazon
Kindle Colorsoft (2026, 2nd Generation)
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.
Amazon
Kindle Scribe (2nd Gen, 2024)
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.
FAQs
Can These Accessories Work With Other E-Readers, Like Kobo?
Some of them can! You'll have to check descriptions for certain items (like cases or things that have to perfectly fit the device) since other devices like Kobo and Nook don't have the same dimensions as a Kindle, but flexible straps, generic tablet holders, and decorative items like charms and stickers would easily work with any other e-reader you own.
