4.0 out of 5 stars A nice "saddle leather" feel and inconspicuous protection for the K1., March 3, 2009

By	Read Rover Books (FL) - See all my reviews

The Kindle 1, when released, had a few challenges associated with keeping it safe, secure and protected. The cover supplied by Amazon was really inadequate. This review is for the Camel Brown color that I purchased as a gift for my sister. I chose this color for her as she loves everything southwestern and it was close to a "saddle" color. She is delighted with it and her husband is a bit put-out with her that she has a new cover and he does not! (We're a Kindle family!)

The M-Edge cover provides greater security for the K1 as there are 3 leather corner slots and an elastic "bungee" corner band to secure the device in place. The cover itself is fairly rigid and should protect the unit if dropped from a short distance.

One of the things I wish this product had is a padded area for the very fragile screen. To tell you just how fragile the screen actually is, my nephew rested his elbow on my sister's Kindle, while it was in the original black case, and ruined the screen! This cover does not offer any additional built-in padding to provide more screen security. However, when the item was shipped, a thick sheet of black foam had been slipped inside the cover to simulate the K1. I trimmed this sheet of foam down slightly and inserted it into the large pocket sewn into the cover flap and now I have excellent protection for the screen of my K1! I'm so glad I did not throw away that thick piece of foam! The reason I took away 1 star was due to this lack of protection and because it's a bit of a tight squeeze to reach the control switches on the back of the K1 while the cover is on (and I've got skinny fingers).

In addition to the large pocket, there are several other pockets including 2 specifically designed to house additional SD memory cards. There's a pen loop that I would never use (I don't want anything hard like a pen to be held up against the side of my fragile K1).

The covering is a pseudo-leather and is really quite soft. I like the closure in that when I open the case to read, I can secure the case shut by slipping the tab into the slot from the back very easily. The cover is also fairly inconspicuous. When closed, it looks like any other "leather journal" in existence and doesn't scream "Expensive Electronic Gadget!!" to the world. This is great as I have heard numerous stories about Kindles being stolen.

I also liked the fact I could use my Prime membership to get this item delivered to my sister very quickly for free. (I strongly encourage other vendors to emulate the practice of sending in a sampling of your wares to Amazon for their warehouses to fulfill.) It would also have been eligible for the Super Saver Shipping program when combined with other items to reach the $25 minimum.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice cover, January 30, 2009

By	Joseph J. Sinkwitz "Joe" (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very nice replacement cover for my Kindle.
Holds the Kindle very well. With the original cover I had to put velcro on the back of the Kindle and on the inside of the cover to keep it from falling out.
I wish M-edge would have tailored it with an open slot on the back to reveal the power & radio switches for easier access.
All in all, a good buy.
