Home > Consumer Reviews > M-Edge Prodigy Genuine Leather Kindle Jacket with Hinge (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle), Sapphire Blue

Just received this cover today (in purple, but same model), about 3 weeks after ordering from Amazon. Granted, it was ordered before the product was even complete so I was ok with the wait. It is very similar in look and feel to a Dooney and Bourke pocketbook if you are familiar with them. It has a great leather smell, just like a new purse. And the additional room on the binder side (meant for the e-Luminator light - sold separately) gives you a nice place to hold the cover with the Kindle attached.

I love the hinge system, one of the main reasons I bought it. Coming from the K1, the original case Amazon provided was functional but the Kindle always fell out. So when Amazon improved the hinge for the K2, I knew I would only buy a case that had that feature. One word of note, I initially did not "lock" the K2 in the new m-edge case correctly and it almost fell out when I shook it (over a sofa) to test the support. Luckily the two straps on the top right and bottom right held it from falling. Then I discovered I had not closed the hinge enough and made sure the top hinge was securely pushed upwards to "lock it". Installation instructions are not included with the case (weird) but are available from m-edge online. Amazon won't let me post the url, but if you go to the buymedge website you can view the installation intructions.

The look and feel of the case is very professional. I am very happy with this purchase and do not expect to be taking the Kindle out of it very often. The only little issue I have is that the tab is a bit too snug when it needs to be slid into the cover to close. A snap might have been a bit easier. Still not enough of a con to drop the rating. But the tab does tuck away easily so as not to interfere while reading, which is nice.

M-edge said that it would take 2-3 weeks to ship and then to allow another week for delivery, my cover arrived in under a week so not guarantees but don't let the shipping time scare you off.

The color is not as shiny and is little darker than shown. But it is a really nice blue. It would be really cool if they did one of their two color cases with this color as the main color and made the tab lime green.

The kindle fits in the case well, the kindles attachment system is very sturdy though the lever is a little stiff to take the kindle out of the case. If offers a good level of protection for the kindle, the case is nice and stiff but the cover will still fold over for reading. Because of the slot of M-edge's light there is a little bit of a gap between the edge of the kindle and the seam which looks a little weird at first as if they mean to to put a pen holder there. The leather feels nice and the closure system works well The interior pockets are a little bit tighter than they probably should be.

Its a really nice cover overall for the look feel, size and protection for your kindle.

If you are looking for the perfect cover for your Kindle 2 - this is it! The hinge is a must have. The sapphire blue is absolutely gorgeous.

I really enjoy my edge cover. It fits the K2 beautifully, I love the pockets on the side which aloow me to store some papers and business cards in my cover. I also love this cover because the e-luminator 2 light fits securly into the cover and lets me have one stop shopping by having my light with me at all time in case I need a little extra "elumination". The main drawback and the reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because there is no place to out the clasp when you are reading and it often gets in my line of sight and drives me nuts. I have attmepted to tuck it back and that works for a while, but I wish they would come out with a better closing mechanism...other than that, it is a great cover!

I wanted a cover that would protect my kindle, this one does the job very nicely. It closes very tightly and the hinges work very well. Yes, there is a gap to give space for the light that I chose not to purchase, but it does not bother me. The color is nice.
