Is the M Edge Kindle Cover the Best Leather Cover You Can Buy?

October 17th, 2009

Most people who spend 300 dollars on an electronic device want something to protect it and that is exactly what the M Edge Kindle cover offers. For about 45 dollars you get a leather cover with some internal pockets and enough padding to keep your Kindle 2 from being damaged by all the bumps and dings it can get when it travels around with you.

But if you have heard horror stories about some leather covers actually being the cause of damage to the Kindle, you might be a little cautious. Fortunately, the M Edge Kindle cover poses no such threat.

What the M Edge does guarantee is a leather cover that has a high quality feel as compared to other covers with the same price. There may be other leather covers that can compete even with brand name handbags but for that, you might end up shelling out about one-third the price of the Kindle itself. Some people could stand a scratch or two if that’s how steep the cover is going to be. The M Edge on the other hand, offers a reasonable protection at a reasonable price. The good thing is, the lower cost doesn’t actually show.

Using a cover for the Kindle has its own drawbacks. For one, you lose its slimness which is part of its sleek look. Even while it does the job protecting the device, the leather cover unfortunately, also manages to make it appear bigger and more bulky, and adds weight to the otherwise light ebook reader. If the slim, sleek appearance of the Kindle means a lot to you, you might need to make some tough decisions.

If you would like to purchase an Amazon leather cover, you might just have second thoughts when you hear that the cover is actually a possible threat that can damage your Kindle. Even though the Amazon’s cover has a distinct hinge system, there are rare cases where it causes damage to the Kindle. Compared to the Amazon cover, the M Edge Kindle does not possess an advanced spine but can still provide the protection your Kindle needs.
