5.0 out of 5 stars Super pleased with Platform cover!, April 4, 2009

By	Kokopelli (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)

This review is from: M-Edge Platform Leather Kindle Jacket (Fits 6" Display, 2nd Generation Kindle), Marbled Red (Electronics)

I just received my marbled red platform cover and am SO pleased with it! After all the strange reviews on amazon, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I had talked to a very nice CS person at M-edge, which was reassuring, and she had told me about the 60-day return policy so I figured if worse came to worst, I could return it. The cover (finally) came today, and it's just beautiful, the leather is sumptuous, the red color divine, it fits the Kindle 2 perfectly, it stands it up for reading just fine, all the buttons and ports are readily accessible, and it smells like brand-new leather. The Kindle 2 seems very secure in the four holders, two of which are leather only (the two bottom ones) and two of which are leather and elastic (the two top ones that allow you to insert the Kindle), and it doesn't move or shift around at all. What more could you ask? (Maybe overnight delivery, but what the heck... it was worth the wait.) The cover is quite lightweight and nonbulky even though there is a pocket inside for whatever you might want to put there. The tab to hold the cover closed works well and holds the platform stable when you stand it up to read. I also have an Oberon Design (oberondesign.com) cover that is very beautiful but is quite a bit more bulky. This M-edge one is a good deal more sleek and will take up less space in a purse or briefcase. The inside lining is soft, light grey suede and will protect the screen nicely. All in all, I'm very pleased with this purchase and recommend it highly. I think it's a great value for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars M-Edge Response, February 28, 2009

This review is from: M-Edge Platform Leather Kindle Jacket (Fits 6" Display, 2nd Generation Kindle), Marbled Red (Electronics)

M-Edge here, up to and as of today, 2/28, we have not shipped ANY Platform jackets out to customers as these are not available to begin shipping until next week (early March). These are designed to FIT the Kindle 2. Any suggestion otherwise is non-factual.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cover for Kindle 2, I love the cover, March 4, 2009

I just received the new platform cover for my Kindle 2. It fits my Kindle 2 perfectly. The leather is really nice and has a very nice smell. I own a few Kindle 1 covers and I love the Kindle 2 cover. I am not sure what are these other people talking about in their reviews about the cover not fitting their kindle 2. This is a new cover that M-Edge just shipped this week and it is a perfect fit. I think they must have mistaken the Kindle 1 cover for a Kindle 2.

I will definitely purchase this cover for the Kindle 2, I am even thinking of getting the Prodigy cover too in a different color.
