| This product corrects the design flaws of the original Amazon Kindle case (no velcro workarounds needed with this one!) and adds an element of luxury with its beautiful leather (mine is red). It also offers a larger ledge/finger rest which I find more comfortable than the original. There is an elastic and leather band to hold even the top right corner in place -- very easy access to the on/off & wireless switches. I personally don't care for the feel of suede, so the case that comes with the Kindle would never have worked for me. The Kindle is absolutely secure and protected by this case -- no slippage at all during use and kept safe from falling out of the case while in transit by the band incorporated into the cover. Highly recommended! |

| I just got my red leather M-edge cover yesterday and am loving it! The color is rich and gorgeous, the Kindle fits perfectly and securely into the cover, while still allowing access to the back buttons. The stitching is beautifully done.
When folded backwards, the cover provides a "ledge" on the left side which is substantial enough (more so than the original Kindle cover) to allow easy grasping and prevents any accidental hitting of the "next" button on the Kindle. I even attach my Mighty Bright booklight to this ledge, so it doesn't "hurt" the beautiful leather on the front. It has five pockets for storing things: two for SD cards, plus two for business or credit cards, and one larger pocket (CD size). There is also a pen-holder. The leather also has a beautiful smell. Overall it's the most beautiful book cover I've ever had, and it makes the Kindle look even more sleek and stylin' than before, if that is possible. I'm really enjoying the rich red color, and must say it looks way more gorgeous in real life than the online pictures show. |

| I purchased this cover in April 2008 and had I written this review at that time I would have given the product 5 stars on its cosmetic value alone. Instead I decided to wait and review it on all aspects of its use and I am still giving it 5 stars.
PROS: As I said the first thing we notice is the leather is beautiful, soft, well put together and easy to spot as the red is vibrant. The pockets and pen/pencil holders are so handy. I keep a notepad in the large pocket which I think also helps with padding. It also has 2 small pockets making room for my SD cards. I believe it is fairly well padded to protect the Kindle. I have rheumatoid arthritis and it is comfortable and easy to hold and operate (easy in and out of the case) - and that is saying a great deal. The cover is designed to hold the Kindle so that it is snug and secure without interfering with any functionality. I think it is fairly priced. Before I give you the CONS: I want to say that I am very careful with my Kindle and the case, as to me, it is priceless so while wear and tear is minimal, I do use it daily, carry it in my purse everywhere I go, so please know that it is in use a great deal. CONS: After 5 months of use I found the thread is coming loose around the area the tab goes in. In fact about an inch had come out. That is the only place it was happening so it's probably a rare occurrence. Otherwise the stitching is beautiful and tight. At the same time the Spine of the cover became a little wobbly. In fairness to the manufacturer I don't know if that could ever be eliminated as constant use would break anything down. And I use this constantly. That's it. The only 2 problems I found after 5 months of constant use. I am even happier with the product than I was on the day I received it as it has proven to be more than just a pretty face. I have already gotten my moneys worth and now it is a gift. I would recommend one to my best friends or family and I would give it as a gift and never worry it wouldn't be enjoyed. EDITED: 1/7/09 - I originally wrote this review after 5 months of use and thought it was time to update! The thread is in the same shape - about an inch undone - so it hasn't gotten any worse. The spine is about the same as well. So although I have nearly doubled the used it is still in great shape and I am so happy that I purchased this item. |

| This is a beautiful cover for your kindle. I bought it because I couldn't keep my Kindle in the binder it came with, and without something to put it in the Kindle is hard to handle. Without any cover on the Kindle there is no place to put my hands without constantly changing pages or going somewhere I hadn't planned.
Kindle fits perfectly, all the buttons are accessible and it is a very professional looking binder. This leather binder makes it easy to get a grip on the Kindle without constantly pushing buttons unexpectedly. Kindle can be charged without removing this cover, and the on/off and Whispernet buttons on back are protected, but easily reached. I recommend this cover, in whatever color, mine is red, for your Kindle. |

| I bought myself this book cover for Mother's Day and I just love it. The way it sticks out on the right side is great for holding the kindle and less pages turned in error. I also love the way it looks, with the red I can find it anywhere. I took the gray foam rubber sheet that came with the packing and trimmed it to fit in the front pocket for more protection for my Kindle screen. The only thing I dont care for is that tha tab gets in the way. I tuck it under when I read but I am sure that after awhile it won't be good for it. By the time it wears out, I'm sure that someone will come out with a better solution. The way it holds the kindle in place is wonderful and you don't have to worry about it falling out, I would definitely buy the cover again! |
