I don't own a LightWedge. I ordered this to slip over my Kindle in its leather cover (M-Edge in red) when I toss it in my purse. I wanted extra protection and liked that it zipped closed completely. It was on sale and the price was right so I thought I'd try it. Perfect fit and I could not be happier!

this is a perfect compliment to the lightwedge, because it keeps it clean and frre from scratches.

I love my LightWedges and the case keeps the big one safe.

Update: Revision - Lightwedge makes the Verso Clip on, so I do have a Light Wedge light ;-), just not the one for this bag.

******************************************

Let me preface this to say: I don't have the LightWedge Book Lights (in fact, I don't even know how they would work).

Even though I already have the Blue mCover® Leather Folio Cover Case for Amazon Kindle 3 (Fits 6" Display, built-in inner pocket) and the Verso Clip-On Reading Light for Kindle (Turquoise), I was reading the Kindle Forums, and someone suggested this case as an added level of protection.

I followed the link, and placed it in my cart - waiting to compile a group of objects to qualify for Free Shipping :-) (Note the Signature - Penny Pinching)

During this time, the LightWedge went into Save (claiming it was unavailable). I found the counterpart for $3 more, another LightWedge Original Soft Case. No one is ever happy with a price increase, but I also noted the size difference (the one available was slightly larger, and may work for others whom have bigger Kindle cases).

So I said to myself - HHMMMM. I placed the Larger One in my Wishlist, and waited. A couple of days later, I clicked on the one still saved in cart, and voila - it was available (however, it did not move back into cart like it was supposed to, HHHHMMM).

Since I'd acquired enough items to Freely Ship, I placed my order on 11/12. That little case was in my hands via UPS on 11/14 (still waiting for the REST of the order to ship, lol).

The case is beautiful and Perfect. I'm glad I chose this size. See my image above for differences from the product description and picture shown. This must be a newer model, but works absolutely marvelous!!

The Kindle, Cover and Light fit in the Case with room to spare. Since the MCover comes with a Pocket, I can place extra goodies in the Pocket. For reading, I like to hinge the front cover to the back with the band, so anything in the pocket can go in the case for safe keeping (in a Coffee Shop, Reading on the Bus, etc.)

Now, for the REAL Penny Pinchers out there - you can take a clear bubble wrap envelope (I had saved one from an Amazon Shipment, and kept my Kindle in it while waiting for the Cover), and place the Envelope in the Case. It will still fit (but the case AND LightWedge Cover offer better protection re bumps). The case also helps to protect against dust and - gasp, CAT HAIR (I have 3 of those buggers).

As to the fabric, it is soft, feels like Velvet, and nice enough to use as its own purse (with the Kindle and goodies stuck inside). You can also put it in a back pack, or roll in my Whitmor 6342-2779-BLUE Rolling Utility Cart. Dust and CAT HAIR easily brushes off the case. For a quick run, this makes an excellent looking Tote Bag (watch out Gucci). There is a slight smell (the same as describe with the MCover), waiting to see if it goes away with time.

Highly recommended for your Kindle Travel and Protection needs. 5 stars.

I don't have the Light Wedge, I bought this for added protection for my kindle 2 when traveling with it in my tote bag or purse. My kindle fits nicely in this case in the Amazon leather cover, there is also room for the charging cable.

I wanted a simple travel case to protect my Kindle, but I did not like the cost and bulk of most of the cases sold specifically as Kindle cases. In searching for a simpler alternative, I came across this case, which is designed for the LightWedge booklight. It fits the Kindle very nicely, providing protection against bumps and scratches. It's very light weight, very simple, and much cheaper than most Kindle cases. I know this isn't what it was designed for, but it works great for simple, cheap Kindle protection.

I bought this to use as a protective travel pouch for my Kindle 2. My k2 with an Amazon or Noreve or Oberon cover fits perfectly. It provides a nice cushion of extra protection for the Kindle. Also, the photo on Amazon shows the "Lightwedge" logo on this pouch as white, but it is actually black & barely noticible, which is a plus for a logo-phobe like me!

Perhaps potential buyers should be educated as to what the term "Original" in the description really means. It will work, marginally, with LightWedge V.2, however I'm SO tired of 'making due' with products that are foisted off on me that I will return this item. No apologies.LightWedge Original Book Light, with Soft Case - Black

The case is great for the LightWedge - helps keep it clean and protected. I recommend both the LightWedge and the case.

I am an inveterate disliker of Kindles, or should I more correctly say, I love holding a book, turning pages, underlining and writing in the margins. I also do most of my reading cuddled up with my Bichon in bed. What a perfect light to not distract anyone else in the household. My college roommate loved it on sight and I got one for her to use while traveling to Europe. Recommend highly.
