Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of M-edge Genuine Leather Executive Jacket for Amazon Kindle 1 (Marbled Red)
Customer Review: Happy to have a generation 1 accessory!
Summary: 4 Stars
I was really ticked off after I bought my Kindle as a result of the Oprah push and weeks later the K2 was released. So I am happy to find that there are at least a few accessories left for the KI that are fun and useful. Half the fun of a new electronic toy are new leather accessories. This is a pretty red, with a good fold back, and it smells good too!Customer Review: Love the edge the M-edge gives the Kindle
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm very pleased with the M-edge for the Kindle 1. The corners were a bit stiff when I first got it, but continued use has made them more pliable, but not pliable enough for the Kindle to fall out of them!
The pockets are a great accessory to the M-edge. You can put in a small note pad, extra SD cards and there is a slot for a pen. The suede has enough give that I was able to thread a darning needle (for those darn freezes and resets) in the material.
I find the jacket makes reading the Kindle easier. Less stress on the hands and wrist. I would highly recommend this particular accessory for your Kindle.
Customer Review: Loved the look, BUT
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this jacket for my Kindle 2 when I bought the Kindle. I love my Kindle, but when you put it in the jacket, there are two metal pieces that slide into spaces in the side of the Kindle. These pieces fit rather tightly and when the other side of the Kindle came out of the elastic pieces, one of the metal pieces caused the plastic face plate to crack and ultimately caused the faceplate above the space to break off into little pieces. The Kindle was NOT mishandled, but warranty doesn't cover it so, I have to keep using it broken, hoping that it doesn't cause the readability to fail. I now prefer the jacket that you can slide the Kindle into. I wish they would make it in leather.Customer Review: Quality Cover---Good Replacement for the Original
Summary: 5 Stars
I was somewhat hesitant about purchasing this cover after reading some of the negative reviews, but did it anyway. My Kindle goes with me everywhere there may be any waiting time, and I can't count the number of times I'd thought I'd lost it because of the generic black cover matching everything else, even to the lining of my handbag.
Yes, it is a little difficult to place the Kindle into all 4 corners but one is elasticized and even with my arthritic hands, it only took me a couple of minutes and it's much more secure than in the original case. Due to the placement of the page bars, I'd accidentally change the current location when closing the original case because of being afraid it was going to fall out.
My case is of excellent quality, and has no odor other than maybe a pair of new shoes, and that's only if I place my nose right against the leather.
I love being able to have a pen available, as well as having 4 slots for paper or cards, and think it could appropriately be used as a clutch handbag at times, especially to a doctor's office, just carrying a driver's license, credit card, and notes for the visit.
Customer Review: TOO BULKY & CLASP DOESN'T HOLD
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this thinking that the RED color would aid me in finding it in my purse and keep me from leaving it somewhere (ie: at restaurants the K1 black cover looks just like the padded thing they bring the check in). The quality is nice. I got the faux leather but it looks like real leather. The baseball stitching is nice too. The only two problems I have with it are as follows:
1.) The thing is too wide. I don't want a Kindle 2 precisely because the K1 is SMALLER and I like it that way. But this thing easily adds an inch or more to the width.
2.) The CLASP doesn't hold when you fold the cover back and insert the tab. Luckily I read at night with the MIGHTY LIGHT and it clasps the covers together pretty well.
Overall, if size isn't an issue (and we all know it is :)) and the feeling that the thing is unstable when held (the K1 cover at least had the elastic to hold it in place), then get it. I just don't see a use for a pen holder (which makes it wider) and all the pockets. I wouldn't want to scratch the reading surface by putting anything in the pockets so they are useless to me. Save your money and keep the K1 cover. It holds just as well because the elastic can fold around the right hand bottom corner and do just as well as this. It's pretty though but at least get the faux since it looks great.
UPDATE TO EARLIER REVIEW: I just received my new cover called the TOUGH LUV Executive and LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!! Read my review!
