I just received my M-Edge GO! jacket in today’s mail. (3 days sooner than they said it would be here!)
What a difference from the Amazon Kindle2 jacket I had been using, which, FWIW, cost the same.
The M-Edge is good quality leather, doesn’t STINK like the other one did, and feels good in my hands. It feels soft and smooth to the touch.
The mocha color is a little darker than it appears on the website, but still very nice and looks “classy”.
I like the little bands that hold the right corners in, along with the hinge for the left side. Feels nice and secure.
It’s a little thicker than the Amazon one, but that just makes it feel as though it will protect my Kindle better. It still folds neatly for one handed reading, and still fits into the case I’ve been using for transport.
Thumbs up, M-Edge!

The Go cover by m-edge is really nice. If you liked the amazon cover but would like better quality leather, a different color and just general overall better quality this cover is for you.
I just received my mocha brown cover today and it is very nice. Feels better to hold than the amazon cover. Its slightly thicker which I feel makes it more comfortable. The spine is more sturdy than the amazon cover. It still fold back flat and has a slim profile. Since this cover is priced the same as amazon’s cover I would highly recommend this cover. Its a bargain as the leather and the overall quality is much nicer than amazon’s cover. I hope they eventually add more colors such as blue and green like they have with there other jackets.

This cover smells NICE! It looks very classy (that’s why I got the Mocha). I love the hinge mechanism – there is no way the Kindle 2 is coming loose without my help
. All the buttons are accessible and the front folds under to allow you to hold the Kindle 2 the same way as without the cover. The cover is rigid and feels solid. The color is darker than in the photos and it is matte. I highly recommend it.

For those who have the Amazon case this is pretty much the same general design. You have the hinges in the center spine which secure the Kindle2. This however, unlike the Amazon case also has additional corner straps on the opposite side to keep the Kindle secured to the back of the cover.
The leather is of nice quality and is breaking in nicely. The folding it backwards for reading was never a real problem big problem but it was a little stiff for the first day or two but its easier now that it has broken in a bit. The padding seems to be ever so sightly thicker than the Amazon one and although I wont consciously test it I feel that it would provide some protection for my Kindle should it fall.
I really like the brown they selected for this cover as well. Its a medium/dark brown marbled with dark brown.

I ordered this when I ordered my Kindle. GREAT DECISION. I had to search for it because it was not on the default list of covers for the Kindle. (It is the same price as the Amazon cover. Hmmm.)
The quality of the leather is excellent. The cover is is great for folding back and holding while you read and the interior suede feels great. The attachment point for the Kindle was a little tough to get on, but it holds it securely. If you expect to take it in and out of the cover, I would suggest something without this clip system. But if you want something that will protect your Kindle, hold it securely, and feel good while you read, then this is great. Not only does it clip in, but it also holds it securely with straps on the outside corners. I don’t think my Kindle is going anywhere.
M-edge also makes more expensive covers. They hold a m-edge light and have pockets on the inside cover. I don’t expect to carry anything with my Kindle, and I bought a Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 light to clip on to the cover. It works great and is very bright. But it is big and doesn’t fit into the cover. So you may want to search around for lights if you decide to buy one.
The price and quality reviews appealed to me and I got just what I was expecting. If you are looking for a portable light and interior pockets, then you may want to search around for more expensive models. I am happy with this one.

This is the perfect cover for the Kindle2 in my opinion. Great leather cover without the smell associated with the one by Amazon for about the same price. It is a no-nonsense cover with a locking binder and soft feeling interior. It also has elastic corners that hold the Kindle in place without covering any controls or buttons. It is what the Amazon Kindle cover should be and it comes in several different colors all for 30 bucks. How can you beat that? It also has no fastening flap to get in your way when you fold the cover behind to read your Kindle2. I would strongly recommend this cover to everyone who owns a Kindle 2.

There’s nothing quite like the smell of leather. And while books aren’t bound in leather anymore, it’s an aroma that just goes hand in hand with a comfortable chair, and a good book.
The GO! uses a very nice, rich brown leather that is soft, but with enough texture to make it easy to keep a good grasp of the Kindle as you read. It looks like a book, and adds just enough weight to the Kindle to make it feel like a book as well.
The front cover folds back behind the Kindle for easy one-hand reading. A touch stiff in the spine at first, it seems like it will loosen up with some use. The covers are also stiff enough to provide some protection for the screen. The Kindle mounts securely in it, and doesn’t slide around at all while reading.
There are no pockets inside or out, and no clasp to keep the covers closed. This is purely a cover, and not a glorified organizer that happens to hold a Kindle. But if you just want a simple, elegant Kindle cover that doesn’t get in the way, you can’t go wrong with the GO!

This cover is for all intents and purposes 100% perfect. Why I received my package (cover and Kindle) I first opened the cover. After looking it over I then opened the Kindle and put it straight in the case.
Putting the Kindle in the case is very easy. All you need to do is align the bottom prong on the cover with the bottom slot on the side of the Kindle. Once you put that one in you then align the top prong and slot, slide the prong down, insert, and release.
The top prong is spring loaded. This ensures that the Kindle is held in snugly but can still be taken out of the case with ease.
As you may notice, this cover is very similar to the Amazon cover but is far superior for one reason. Inside the cover it has two corner straps opposite the pronged edge and yet it is still the same price as the Amazon cover!
This is a pretty big deal. One thing that has been known to happen is a person picking up their Kindle and cover and then opening up the ‘Back’ flap of the kindle cover. Because the prongs are attached to the back flap, and the Kindle is attached to the prongs the plastic around the prongs cracks. With the straps within the M-edge cover will not arise.
The rundown -
- Pros -
* It’s leather – One person said it smells funny. It smells like leather and leather oil
* Price – $29.99, thank you!
* Perfect fit – Other M-edge covers have a large spine so they can hold their special book-light. This one is plain and simple!
* Secure – It has straps!
- Cons -
* It doesn’t do the dishes? Nope, guess I still have to do them.
This is a perfect 5/5

Like most of the other reviewers I really love this cover, so I won’t rehash what others have said but I want to add a discovery. When I purchased the cover I thought of getting the more expensive cover that has the closure strap and holder for the booklight but didn’t want to spend the extra money(rather spend it on books!). So when the cover arrived I found that I missed having the strap, simply because the cover slides a litte bit in my hand when I carry it. There isn’t a lot of movement, but it annoyed me. I put a rubber band around it for a while but that was incovenient. Then I discovered that when I close the cover I can slip the corner holders (that hold the kindle in) over the front cover. This keeps the cover securely closed, keeps the kindle secure, looks great and is very convenient. So if you are considering the more expensive cover because you want a strap this might work for you.

When I purchased my Kindle 2, I was torn about which cover to buy — the official one or a different brand also designed specifically for it. Ultimately, I chose the M-Edge because of some customer complaints of the Amazon cover possibly cracking the screen because the Kindle could flop forward. Although I knew I would be careful, I wasn’t willing to take the chance. This cover has two elastic and leather-padded straps for the right-hand corners (in addition to the standard Kindle 2 hinge connections for the left side of the device) that should keep it from moving and thus placing stress on the screen . The corner straps also have the advantage of providing a little extra padding to keep the cover from pressing on the keyboard/screen. This M-Edge cover should not be confused with the models that open over the top and can be used as a stand; this one opens like a book cover.
I like the slightly padded feel of the cover. The outside is a soft leather, and the inside is a gray suede. Because of the padding, you may have to press the Kindle down a little when first attaching the upper hinge, but once it is attached, it doesn’t slip or move around at all. Although you can fold the top cover back for one-handed reading, I’m a little reluctant to do this myself for fear of ruining the clean, professional exterior look. But it can be done.
The “mocha” color is a mid-brown, neither light nor dark. The stitching around the edges and along the reinforced spine is fine and even. The other colors tempted me, primarily because of their new look for the Kindle; however, the mocha has a warm, timeless look that I’m less likely to get tired of. Eventually, I may want to splurge and get one or two of the others.
If you are reading this as you are about to place your Kindle 2 order, go ahead and get this cover. I was afraid I’d regret it — but I’m completely happy with my purchase.
NOTE: I’ve added customer photos to the product page to show how the Kindle attaches to this cover and what the inside looks like.
