It's true of other portable electronics and it applies here, too: if you own an e-reader, there's a strong argument to be made that you need a case. Sure, readers are a little more scratch-resistant than smartphones, but a little bit of backpack trauma can do some nasty things to an e-ink display. That could be Amazon's elevator pitch, anyway. Introduced at the company's [launch event last week](http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/28/live-from-amazons-tablet-event-in-nyc/), the Kindle Lighted Leather Cover comes in various sizes, with versions for the [Kindle Touch](http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/28/kindle-touch-impressions-video/) and [fourth generation Kindle](http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/03/amazon-kindle-review-2011/).
