I just saw this article in Lifehacker and I love it! Recycling the old for the new.
- find an old book whose cover you like
- make sure it is the right thickness to be a cover for your tablet (don’t forget to include the added thickness of the Sugru… see next bullet)
- get some Sugru (moldable silicone that can fix or improve just about anything)
- cut the pages from the book but do not damage the spine (use Sugru to help reinforce the spine)
- recycle the book pages or try an art project with them (example, example, example…)
- lay your tablet in the book and pencil the four corners
- stick the Sugru bits on the marked corners and place your tablet – wrapped in cling wrap! – between them.
- pull them down slightly to make hooks and leave 24 hours to dry
- after 24 hours, remove tablet, take off cling wrap, and replace tablet in the hooks
