hold the Kindle well

Just a couple comments. The upper left tab tends to hit the prev page button. The upper right elastic has to be left off to keep it from hitting the next page button. It's still very difficult to get to the on-off button.

In my opinion the workmanship isn't as high quality as the original Kindle cover. The bumpy black leather looks a little like vinyl. Not sure where all the new padding is that people are talking about on this revised version. The original Kindle cover had more.

On the plus side, which is why I will continue to use it, my Kindle hasn't slipped in it yet. The change was so immediately apparent when I first put it on. I like the tab closure. And it's a little larger than the original Kindle cover. I feel the device is better protected in this cover.

Good cover, some dye transfer

The following observations adjust the score from 3 stars.

Negative (-2 stars):
There is a color transfer from the edges of the pockets stitched on the inside front cover. This is especially noticeable on the selection wheel and the bezel next to the indicator window on the right hand side of the Kindle. This would be unacceptable (-5 stars), especially considering the cover's price, but the dye cleans off easily and the transfer is preventable by placing a soft cloth or foam insert over the face of the Kindle when the cover is closed. I rarely close the cover except when transporting anymore, so I barely notice the problem. Note: my cover is black--other colors may not have this problem.

Neutral (+/- 0 stars):
I thought the pockets, especially the ones designed to hold memory cards, would be useful. What was I thinking? Even a single 1GB SD card allows for so many documents that the Kindle's simple file navigation system is overwhelmed. And I don't see myself popping off the Kindle's back cover to change cards all the time, though that would be a simple answer to library management. Maybe in future versions of the Kindle, if they place the SD card slot where we can easily get to it, the pockets will add value. For now, your mileage may vary on this feature, depending on how you use your Kindle. Also, be aware that this cover is appx 1/2" wider and 1/16" taller than the original cover. This doesn't affect me, but it may impact someone else's buying decision. It also feels heavier than the original, but I haven't had a chance to weigh both on an accurate scale so I can't give solid numbers. Finally, the slip-in leather tab for securing the cover takes a bit of getting used to, but it is preferable to any kind of hard snap or buckle. I don't want metal near my Kindle screen! I'm not sure about the magnetic closure another reviewer mentioned--once again, I don't want any hard metal surfaces near my screen and I'm not sure about the effect a magnet might have on the e-paper screen or the Kindle's other electronics.

Positives (+ 3):
As others have said, this is a solid cover that holds the Kindle VERY well. You don't even need the elastic on the upper right corner--the other 3 corner pockets hold the device absolutely secure. In the same way that the original cover adds to the Kindle's useability, this one does so even better. When the cover is folded back, you are given a nice, 1", easily held ridge on the left that makes one-handed reading a breeze. The heavy leather construction is a pleasure to handle and is a perfect mount for a good reading light.

Summary: (3 - 2 + 0 + 3 = 4) I'm fairly bothered by a $50+ accessory transferring black smudges to my white $400 toy, so if I had a 3.5 star option, I'd give it that. The cover should protect the Kindle from the elements...I shouldn't have to protect the Kindle from the cover! M-edge really needs to ensure a higher quality lining material is used. Rather than pockets, I'd like to see a built-in leg I could use to prop up the Kindle for hands-free reading. Other than that, I'm impressed and feel this product improves the Kindle experience.

Excellent choice

This is an elegant and beautiful morocco grain cover for the Kindle. The four corner pieces hold the Kindle far more securely than the original cover supplied by Amazon. While I didn't have any problems with the plastic tab not remaining in place, my Kindle did fall out of the original cover several times. This is not a problem at all with the M-edge cover. I have also not experienced the corner pieces causing any trouble with the next page or previous page tabs.

Overall, I'd say that the slightly increased size of this cover makes holding the Kindle and reading easier. It also still fits into the leg pocket in a pair of 'cargo' pants. I clamp the Mighty Bright Book Light to both the front and back covers when open to avoid marking the outside of the cover and the light works fine.

I was surprised when my cover arrived to find that the lining was gray. This , of course, eliminated the problem of staining the Kindle. The only drawback to the light lining is that it may be prone to accumulating stains.

I can't praise this product enough. I looks and feels wonderful. If you like understated elegance, this is the accessory for you.

Waiting for backorder -- but the pocket has one super value: identity

I'm still waiting for my backorder on this product, but I already see a very useful application for the inside pocket: it can hold a "belongs to" card very securely. The original Kindle cover has no obvious place to put such a label.
