 A great Kindle 2 case! |

Just received this cover today (in purple, but same model), about 3 weeks after ordering from Amazon. Granted, it was ordered before the product was even complete so I was ok with the wait. It is very similar in look and feel to a Dooney and Bourke pocketbook if you are familiar with them. It has a great leather smell, just like a new purse. And the additional room on the binder side (meant for the e-Luminator light - sold separately) gives you a nice place to hold the cover with the Kindle attached.
I love the hinge system, one of the main reasons I bought it. Coming from the K1, the original case Amazon provided was functional but the Kindle always fell out. So when Amazon improved the hinge for the K2, I knew I would only buy a case that had that feature. One word of note, I initially did not "lock" the K2 in the new m-edge case correctly and it almost fell out when I shook it (over a sofa) to test the support. Luckily the two straps on the top right and bottom right held it from falling. Then I discovered I had not closed the hinge enough and made sure the top hinge was securely pushed upwards to "lock it". Installation instructions are not included with the case (weird) but are available from m-edge online. Amazon won't let me post the url, but if you go to the buymedge website you can view the installation intructions.
The look and feel of the case is very professional. I am very happy with this purchase and do not expect to be taking the Kindle out of it very often. The only little issue I have is that the tab is a bit too snug when it needs to be slid into the cover to close. A snap might have been a bit easier. Still not enough of a con to drop the rating. But the tab does tuck away easily so as not to interfere while reading, which is nice. |
This Case Saved My Kindle! (But sacrificed itself in the process)

Well, first let me say that this case is awesome! High quality construction and materials, great functionality, and very pleasing to the eye. The spine clips hold well and with the two corner bands, it locks in sturdier that the amazon cover. The real beauty of this cover is how much better it makes the Kindle feel in my hands. Fold the cover over and it works perfect for one-hand reading, adding just enough mass to make it feel like a book in my hands and provides a solid hand hold so I don't have to worry about dropping it.
OK, now to my "drop test". Yesterday, I was leaving my house with my Kindle in tow (as always) when my dog jerked his leash free from my hand while I was locking the door. He ran...I screamed...and my Kindle went flying! It hit HARD on my back porch - landing first on top of a "Toad Holding a Pitchfork" yard statue before clattering onto the wooden floor. I just KNEW it was trashed! So, after I managed to wrangle the dog back into his kennel, I retrieved my Kindle only to find it still in PERFECT condition! Not a scratch on the screen. Not a mark anywhere on it! I turned it on and (to my great relief) it still worked fine! Unfortunatly, my case was not so lucky. The beautiful, soft black leather was battered and scarred; scratched and scuffed. The frog's pitchfork had ravaged my case, but it had served its purpose: It had sacrificed itself to protect my Kindle. There is no doubt in my mind, as hard as it hit, that without this case, I would now be Kindle-less. All I can say is: Best $45.00 I ever spent! I've already ordered a replacement! Thanks, M-Edge! This product has my HIGHEST recommendation! Well worth the money!
(OK, I might have over-stated the damage to the case just a bit for dramatic effect. It is still totally usable, just a bit battered on the outside & with one major scratch down the back of the spine where the metal pitchfork penetrated thru the soft leather to expose the cloth underneath. If it hadn't landed on sharp, pointy medal, the case too would have been unscathed. Still, it would be fine to use, but I just HAD to get a new, unmarked one. Just my obcessive nature coming out, I guess.) |
Very high quality

This product exudes quality and class. The leather is thick and supple. The stitching seems sturdy, and the suede-like lining is soft and protective. The jacket is substantial -- each cover is nearly as thick as the Kindle itself, so altogether you're carrying a portfolio that's 3 times as thick as the Kindle. The heft of the jacket provides a lot of protection, though. You can hurl it across the room without damaging the Kindle inside (still wouldn't recommend it, though).
It's so professional looking that it's easily mistaken for a planner or the like. Without close inspection, nobody needs to know you're carrying a Kindle around. |
BEST cover for Kindle 2

I've had my Kindle2 for 3 weeks. The first cover was the M-edge case but it was just for storage so I returned it. I looked online and was going to order the Amazon cover but I wanted something that closed. I carry my Kindle in my purse and I knew that coins or keys would scratch the Kindle. After speaking to customer service, I ordered the M-Edge Prodigy. I LOVE it. The Kindle2 fits perfectly secure. The hinged attachments hold it in place and the straps make it fit like your favorite pair of shoes. My Kindle2 looks naked without it. I read in bed and have fallen asleep. It has slipped out of my hands and fallen on the floor but my Kindle2 is protected. I keep checking daily to see if I can order the reading lamp that fits in it. I can attach a small reading lamp that I already have and it also works.
The product looks great, smells great and looks very professional. It looks like a very expensive appointment book. I don't have to take the Kindle2 out for any reason. I can charge it, attach headphones, adjust the volume, all with out removing the Kindle2 from the cover. When I had the Kindle2 with no cover I was very scared of damaging it.
You can bend the cover back and attach the strap for one handed reading. I am left handed and this works for me. I have gone to the beach and pool to read. I slipped the Kindle2, cover and all, in a Ziploc bag and read my little heart out. |
Great alternative to the Amazon cover

| I bought this cover after I received the Amazon Kindle cover and found it lacking. The m-edge prodigy leather cover uses the same metal hinges that the Amazon cover uses, but it also has two little elastic straps that hold the outside edge of the Kindle in place. It feels much more secure and I never worry about carrying it around or throwing it in a bag. It adds a little weight to the Kindle, but I actually prefer the addition. The Kindle by itself feels a little too fragile in my opinion. The front flap folds behind the Kindle while reading and is just as easy to read with one hand. I actually think it's easier to hold. |
