5.0 out of 5 stars Makes reading via the Kindle a much more pleasurable experience, September 7, 2008
This is such an immense improvement over the standard case that Amazon shipped with the Kindle that there's almost no comparison. I would give the standard case 1-star because it can't hold the Kindle securely in place. Holding the Kindle in place is an important function for a supportive case. The standard case doesn't perform this function, and is cheaply made. For what we spent on the Kindle, I expected something that would at least hold it securely.

The M-edge case is many steps above, and it's so much nicer that I didn't mind shelling out the money. (As cheap as I can be, that's saying something.)

The M-edge case holds the Kindle so firmly that if I were to use the case as a soccer ball, I don't think the Kindle would move. Realistically speaking, the Kindle doesn't unexpectedly fall out of the case when I'm reading it anymore, which drove me crazy and, I found, caused me to use it less. Instead, there are four very snug corners that the Kindle fits into and they hold it as securely as a straitjacket holds the Joker. This snug fit has significantly increased my enjoyment of the Kindle, as my biggest beef with that device is that about 2/3 of its perimeter is covered by large buttons that move you forward or backward a page (or more). When I read a book, I hold the book firmly. I don't hold it daintily, as if its porcelain. You can't hold the Kindle firmly. But you can hold this case firmly.

As to this case pressing buttons and causing one to lose his place...the reviewer who complained about that had a resolution for his own problem: put the Kindle in sleep mode. Or, how about turning it off?

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful case, one minor drawback, October 20, 2008
I ordered this shortly after I got my Kindle because I felt the case that came with it was just a little too insecure.

I love the look and feel of the M-edge. It's a gorgeous piece of work. The interior is softly sueded and has compartments for cards and a loop for a pen. The biggest plus is there's an extra elastic loop for the upper right hand corner of the kindle which I feel is much more secure than the little plastic tab on the original Kindle case. It also has a leather tab closure as opposed to the elastic band on the original case. Elastic loses it's "snap' over time and there's no easy way I could see of replacing it when that happened.

Overall this is a great product. My only quibble with it is the spine is very stiff and I have already found I prefer to fold the cover back behind the Kindle while I read. Also, there isn't that thick pad to protect the screen that's on the original cover. But these are minor considerations given how much more secure I feel this case is than the original.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as I expected, September 6, 2008
The case is definitely more stylish than the cover that comes with the Kindle, but because it's lacking the extra padding on the front cover (that rests on the screen) and because the 'binding' does not have the same strength as the original case, I've returned it. I purchased my Kindle to take with me to China for a month, and even though this will be in my carry on I still want the added strength offered by the original. Too bad, because it sure looks nice.
