“The suit centers on Kindle 2s that were also bought with Amazon’s optional $30 protective case. This fastens onto the white plastic body of the Kindle with a set of metal clips. ”

Aha! See, I didn’t get a case. I keep my Kindle2 in a bubblewrap mailing envelope, which is inside a cardboard mailer.

My DX is just in a bubblewrap envelope, though. They’re usually in my backpack with a pad of paper or two.

No problems, yet.

I’d have to vote for the giant octopus since the vampire squid grows to be all of six inches long. If the battle is on the squid’s home field, however, I’d pick it. The octopus would quickly suffocate in the abyssal depths.

The real question is Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus…who will win?
