Quick hack: I made a cover for E-book reader using stapler :) It took me an hour, and I had all the materials at home, but they are really easy to find (...mostly Hema).

Step by step instructions

What you need is: felt, velcro, stapler, scissors.

• File:Cut felt to measure: size of E-Book reader + 1cm extra on every side.
• 
• File:Staple the outer corners first, planning to have them as "triangles". I started with 2 staples on each side...
• 
• File:... but that was too little so I added 3rd staple. // Cut the "triangles" off.
• 
• File:Now, add one of the inner corners. Staple on the narrow side of "reader".
• 
• File:Then fold the cover, and staple from the OUTSIDE of the wide side of the "reader".
• 
• File:Try if the reader fits in, and adjust by stapling extra here-and-there.
• 
• File:For the "closing" mechanism: cut the ribbons, and staple them to the end of "flap".
• 
• File:Cut velcro in pieces that fit the width of ribbons.
• 
• File:Staple velcro to the "bottom" of the cover.
• 
• File:Next, staple velcro to the ribbon. Cut the excess of ribbon.
• 
• File:Add some extra staples, to make velcro more attached to the ribbon.
• 
• File:This is how it looks finished, from the outside!
• 
• File:This is the final look, when open.
