New Kindle cover [Posted on 2008-05-03]
I have been using this new cover for about a week, and I find it most acceptable. The one that came with my Kindle was nice, but the 'book' kept falling out, and the battery cover on the back would come loose. This cover has held it in place PERFECTLY. I would definitely recommend it.
Awesome Kindle Cover!!! [Posted on 2008-07-04]
I love the "M-edge Excutive Case" for my Amazon Kindle Device! I've had it about a month now and feel the "M-edge Excutive Case" fits my Kindle Device nicely & more securely than the original case which comes with the Kindle Device.
The original case that comes with the Kindle doesn't seem to hold the device securely enough for my taste. I was always concerned that my Kindle would fall out of its original case.... In fact, it did a couple of times, which is what prompted me to acquire this item.
Very Nice. Consider these things. [Posted on 2008-07-16]
This is a well designed and well made leather item nicely stitched. The Kindle is impossible to hold without setting off its side bars that turn the pages so this cover is essential just to hold the Kindle for comfortable reading and carrying around. Additionally, the protection it offers against briefcase abrasion, crushing and dropping is another benefit.
I purchased the darker brown because I think its the least attractive one. That's because I expect all the other readers in my household will want me to purchase Kindles for them when they see mine when they all get back from travels this summer and each will want their own colors -- so I took the worst for myself.
The ample width soft and flexible spine creates an inch wide leather strip at the left side when the cover's front is folded all the over to the back. For me, this forms the principle grip on the device when reading and also for carrying around the house open and even for just picking up the Kindle without setting off a page turn. The cover's leather closure strip that extends out from center right when the cover is folded back forms a little right-hand grip. Without these features of this leather cover, the Kindle is really annoying to handle. The cover supplied with the Kindle does not offer the same grip advantage.
The cover's wide spine, however, is too wide even when the cover's inside pockets are holding a pad of paper (it will hold a 5 x 8 in. pad) plus a pen or pencil is in its holder inside the spine. This too-large width of spine makes the cover a bit floppy when closed. I have no need to insert a pad of paper so I inserted a similar sized sheet of soft Ethafoam to take up the slack in the spine. But I can live with this large floppy width in exchange for the useful grip all that extra leather provides.
Its true that the beautifully crafted and tough leather corners that hold the Kindle are initially a little bit of a tight fit. But because leather stretches with use, that fit is actually perfect. The upper right corner is a leather strap with elastic ends. I usually leave this off so that I can get to the Kindle's tiny switches with my fat fingers. The Kindle stays tight in its holders using just the remaining three.
The soft light gray leather inside seems a bit thin and weak and developed sags from its stretching after a week. The light color also got grimy looking in the same time frame.
I can't wait for the outside of my cover to get as well-worn as my leather briefcase. Maybe they will offer in the future a pre-worn bomber pilot leather jacket for the Kindle.
If the company would produce it, I would buy from them a $350.00 tooled Western saddle cover with my name gold stamped inside. Should I also expect to eventually see an Eddie Bauer Edition?
Just got it - LOVE IT! [Posted on 2008-08-05]
I just got this product today in the mail. I had ordered it because my Kindle fell out of it's original case and hit my concrete patio deck with a big THUD and the back flying off! Luckily it still works but I instantly went on the Kindle forum and asked for suggestions on a secure cover. Almost all of the replies were for the leather M-Edge. I ordered it from Amazon as soon as I left the forum.
It is all they said it would be. It's attractive, has a great professional style, all leather and holds the Kindle like a custom made glove. I even tested it by putting my Kindle in it and swinging it around (over my bed of course). It stayed secure! It is almost impossible for the Kindle to fall out. Not only does it have four SNUG corner 'holders'(made entirely of leather) but it has an outside flap lock that seems impossible for the Kindle to slip or slide by.
The cover is also very light weight so if you enjoy reading the Kindle with the cover on, you will have no problems and you know how soft real leather is,so you get the added bonus of it feeling good in your hand.
I almost forgot to mention that inside the cover is a place for your pen, business cards or whatever small notes you might need to take with you.
I highly recommend this product! Not a bad price to pay for knowing your Kindle is safe, secure and lookin' good.
