by Julie on January 13, 2010 · 64 comments

Did Santa bring you a shiny new Kindle 2 or DX ebook reader for Christmas? Did he forget to include a case to protect it? Never fear, the kind folks at OCTOVO (formerly known as OCTO) have generously offered 4 Gadgeteer readers their choice of any Kindle 2 or DX product on their site. It’s easy to enter, so keep reading for the details.
