Amazon has a new Kindle case and this one is much less subtle than usual. The company just released a Project Hail Mary-themed cover for its latest Kindle Paperwhite and Colorsoft models, leaning fully into the growing overlap between fandom and utility.

The front shows protagonist Ryland Grace floating just outside an airlock, strapped to the ship against a bright, colorful space background. It’s instantly recognizable if you’ve read Andy Weir’s book (or seen the film adaptation) and is much louder than Amazon’s usual muted covers.
It opens like a hardcover folder, with a magnetic front flap that activates or deactivates the device when you open or close it. That’s standard Amazon functionality, but it helps differentiate the design from cheaper third-party fan-made covers. Coupled with a bold sci-fi design linked to one of the most popular modern space novels, the case stands out even more.
There aren’t many reviews yet either, although first impressions describe it as sturdy and well made. Some comparisons tie it more to Amazon’s bulkier kids’ cases than its thinner covers. Amazo doesn’t clearly list the case material anywhere on the product page, although one early review describes it as a “soft leather-like” material.
The Project Hail Mary case is available now, Surprise, Surprise, Surprise priced at $49.99, putting it slightly above standard Amazon covers.
