Review by P. Cruz for M - Edge Accessories GO! Leather Jacket for Kindle Rating: 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.

Review by waxy_pallor for M - Edge Accessories GO! Leather Jacket for Kindle Rating: Buyer beware! This cover may seem like the perfect accessory for your Kindle 2, but it could DESTROY YOUR KINDLE! As you may already know, the hinge system on the Kindle 2 is kinda faulty--if you put too much pressure on the hinges, it starts forcing the Kindle apart and cracking it. With normal use, the latches on the M-edge GO! actually bent upwards and started to break apart my Kindle. Thank God I caught it before it did any permanent damage. I sent it back before the 30 days were up for a full refund. I'm sure there are lots of people who were satisfied with the product, but in my opinion, this cover is NOT WORTH THE RISK.

Review by D. M. Reed for M - Edge Accessories GO! Leather Jacket for Kindle Rating: 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.

Review by H. Kennedy for M - Edge Accessories GO! Leather Jacket for Kindle Rating: 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!

Review by Adam for M - Edge Accessories GO! Leather Jacket for Kindle Rating: 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
