Sometime you have to use something for awhile before you know what you really want. A couple months ago I got a new Kindle and I made a carrying case for it. After using it I knew there were some things I wanted to change so I made a new one. I added handles and I put a gusset in the pocket that holds the charger so it is a little roomier and now also holds earbuds in a little case. When my friend saw it she wanted one too so I made another one. I made these with fusible foam like the original one and that really provides a lot of protection for my Kindle.

Thank you for sharing. This is so useful and pretty. I wonder where to get instructions or have you thought of everything yourself and made it according to measure? How long did it take to do it (approx.)?
Have a wonderful Easter time - Maria

I did not have a pattern. I started out with 2 8.5 x 12.5 rectangles that I fused to the foam and then quilted by sewing straights lines. I made the pocket with the zipper and added that to one side with the handles and sewed the handles on the other side. I joined the two pieces with a zipper on the top edge. Then I sewed all around and I had my bag. I don't know how long it took because I usually do things in intervals while I do other chores as well
