A quick scroll through #BookTok reveals more than just book recommendations: Readers galore are upgrading their Amazon Kindles with cute accessories to enhance their reading experience. Whether it's a cute case or a wacky snack bowl, it's easy to spend as much time scrolling through all of the options as actual reading! As someone who has used a Kindle for over a decade, I've tried my fair share of accessories, so I know which ones are worth it and which you can skip.
No matter if you're eyeing a new device or sprucing up your current one, I’ve rounded up TikTok-approved accessories starting at just $5, including the viral remote page-turner (seriously, it has over 12,000 reviews). Just note that Kindle dimensions slightly vary depending on the model and generation, so be sure to check your Kindle's measurements before ordering a new case or screen protector.
Step one in your journey to becoming an avid reader: buying a Kindle. This lightweight device can hold thousands of titles and boasts handy features like a dimmable backlight, adjustable font sizes, and even a water-resistant design—so you can read just about anywhere. Per Amazon, this device recently got an upgrade for faster page turns, a brighter screen and longer battery life.
This sleek Kindle case isn't just a protective cover for your device—it also has a credit card holder, a built-in hand strap for added stability, and a convenient kickstand to prop your book up hands-free. The magnetic case will automatically "wake" your Kindle upon opening. Should you prefer to charge your Kindle wirelessly, the brand also makes a similar charging pad-compatible case.
If you want something a little more understated, try this clear case (this one is specifically sized to fit the brand-new Kindle Paperwhite). The reinforced corners should help with shock absorption if you accidentally drop your device, while the flexible silicone material won't add too much bulk. I use this case and love how the clear design allows me to show off my favorite bookish stickers!
We've seen lots of TikTok users decorating their Kindle cases with adorable stickers, and this 50-pack is a great way to get started. The set comes with tons of book-themed illustrations to help you adorn your e-reader and beyond, for only $5.
This criss-cross strap system makes it easier to hold your Kindle one-handed—no case needed. Simply slip it over the corners of your device and slide your hand between the straps for a firm, comfortable grip that should keep your hands from cramping up. The straps are waterproof and provide added protection for the corners of your device.
If you love reading in bed (who doesn't?!) then you may as well add this genius tablet holder to your Amazon cart. It fits devices 4 to 11 inches wide, and you can attach the stand to your bed frame or night stand for hands-free reading. I've used this stand for several years and love how easy it is to reposition if I want to lay on my side.
While you're at it, grab this handy remote control to pair with your Kindle mount for completely hands-free reading. One part clips onto the side of your device and lets you flip the page with a press of a button—perfect for your next page-turner. After using this duo nearly every night for the past three years, I can safely say it's one of the best Kindle accessories I've ever purchased. Not only does work seamlessly with the gooseneck stand, but I also use it while walking on the treadmill.
Yes, technically PopSockets are designed for your smartphone—but we've seen tons of TikTok users putting PopSockets on the back of their Kindles. The result looks adorable (so many cute patterns!), but it also makes your device easier to hold one-handed without dropping. I prefer the MagSafe version, which is easy to pop off when I want to use my gooseneck holder.
When you're ready to take your reading game to the next level, grab this tablet stand pillow that also has a built-in snack bowl. The padded exterior makes it softer to hold in your lap or on the couch, while the adjustable arm lets you position your e-reader at the perfect height.
When you're hopping on a flight or hitting the road, keep your tech organized in this Kindle-sized travel sleeve. I love that it has so many pouches for holding chargers, headphones, and more in one convenient place. Plus, it comes in more than a dozen cute colors and patterns.
The slim design on this Kindle pouch makes it a great choice for protecting your device without committing to a bulky case. It's made from a stiff faux-suede material and features a magnetic flap. Plus, the manufacturer says it's compatible with the latest Kindle models, including the redesigned Paperwhite and Colorsoft.
Grab this under-$10 screen cleaning spray—per the manufacturer, it's safe to use on tech like Kindles, laptops, phone screens, and more. The microfiber exterior lets you spray and wipe away grime in one compact device. Plus, its handheld size makes it travel-friendly.
While most newer Kindles boast an IPX8 waterproof rating, this pouch is handy for people with older models—or for anyone who is skittish about using their e-reader in the pool or bathtub! Per the brand, this waterproof case has three different ziplock seals, as well as two snap closures to ensure your device stays dry.
Unlike other tablets, Kindles have a matte e-ink screen that's easier on your eyes, which is why I recommend scooping up an anti-glare screen protector instead of a glossy version. I love how this one mimics the look and feel of the Kindle screen, while providing an extra layer of protection from damage. Trust me: After my Kindle screen got scratched by my keys, I've made sure to always use a screen protector!
If you have a Signature Kindle model, then your device is compatible with wireless charging. Per the brand, this dock fully charges your device in just 2.5 hours (From my experience, charging it from 0% with a wall charger takes much longer). Plus, it doubles as a stand for easy desk-side reading.
While Strapsicle is best known for its Kindle hand straps, the brand's clutches have recently been flooding my #BookTok feed. Not only does this silicone pouch have space for your e-reader, but it can also fit your phone, earbuds, or even a slim wallet. With a an easy-to-carry wrist strap and anti-dust coating, it's a great option for keeping your Kindle sand-free at the beach.
Want to add extra flair to your device? Opt for a dust plug charm, which not only looks adorable, but prevents dust, crumbs, and debris from getting caught in your Kindle's charging port. Choose between bows, flowers, or berries for a look that's equal parts cute and functional. (These USB-C charms are also compatible with the latest iPhones.)
I refuse to travel without my Kindle. It barely takes up any space in my luggage, yet allows me to have a nearly endless supply of books. To make reading on the plane even easier, scoop up this MagSafe stand, which clips to the tray table or seat back to prop up your device. I'd recommend also packing your remote control page turner for a hands-free reading experience. If your case isn't MagSafe-compatible, scoop up a pack of these converter stickers.
