JAVOedge Kindle Accessories:Official Store Thread (Questions? Comments?)

[kindlefan]

I would like to see pictures of the book-style case with 1) the cover open and 2) the cover folded all the way back.  I'm not seeing these on Amazon -- am I missing something?

[Rie142]

Welcome kindlencoffee!
Yes, we're developing more guy-friendly designs for the Kindle 3. We think that with the graphite design that will play very well with our new looks. We'll definitely let KindleBoards know as soon as we have something to show. 

That is good to hear.  I am looking for less fancy ones.  I prefer a plain cover.   Sometimes bold colors but not always flowered/busy patterns.   So I will be looking for the new designs myself. 

[ErinLindsey]

It's here!

Finally my K3 has something to wear! It's the cocoa Cherry Blossom flip cover.

Not the biggest fan of the fabric now that I see it in person, but it's a cover and it's extremely comfortable to hold. I'm just happy to have my K3 in some protection now. I really did prefer the fabric that was used on my Kyoto Javoedge cover that my K2 wears.

The front of the cover is a teeny bit floppy when you close it. If you dont line up the magnet closures just right, the front of the cover ends up sliding to the side a bit, and I do think that Amazon should have put the volume control and the headphone jacks on the side and top like they had for the K2, because I think the bottom of the Kindle needs a little more protection, and Javoedge apparently had to sacrifice that bit of protection so that people could have access to all the controls at the bottom of the Kindle. Crappy design on Amazon's part. (bad Amazon! bad!)

I do really like how tightly this flip cover holds my K3. I had trouble getting the K3 out of it once I got it in there. I dont think I'll have to worry about it accidentally slipping out.

It's very comfortable to hold and that's what I was looking for. Something comfortable for my numb fingers/hands to hold. (MS sucks)

Now I'm hoping for some more new fabrics to come out, because I want to buy another one!

I'll post pictures later, charging my K3 right now. I'll take comparison pictures of my K2 in it's Kyoto flip and this one.  I wish they made the K3 cover in the same fabric as the Kyoto...I'd have loved that.

Hey Rie142,

For a more minimalist look, we'd recommend you checking out our MiMo collection for the Kindle 3!. We're still capturing images but they are an animal-friendly cases (synthetic leather) in a variety of colors at an affordable price.


This is our MiMo Black Case that we just snapped. More photos will be trickling in...

[Rie142]

Those are nice cases.   Hopefully they come in a flip case too.    Thanks for the heads up.

These are pretty nice.  Are they available now?  Also by chance do you know how much does the case weigh?  Also any future plans for version without speaker cutouts?

With nothing to protect the bottom do you feel the k3 case is as protective a's the u2 version?

[Javoedge]

I wouldn't say we have absolutely no protection for the bottom of the case.
Our holster frame still hugs the device -- from all sides -- which offers it better protection against minor shocks, bumps, etc. That offers some reassurance for people who dislike cases w/ rail-frame or corner strap attachments. For the Kindle 3, We made the inner holster frame as a tight, customized fit to prevent potential slippage, shock absorption, etc while also allowing the user to access the Kindle controls that were placed directly on the bottom of the device.
 
I included a photo of the MiMo case's bottom since folks were asking.


ErinLindsey brought up some excellent feedback about our Kindle 3 case design.  I quote  below .

I do think that Amazon should have put the volume control and the headphone jacks on the side and top like they had for the K2, because I think the bottom of the Kindle needs a little more protection, and Javoedge apparently had to sacrifice that bit of protection so that people could have access to all the controls at the bottom of the Kindle.

As always, if there's any sense of dissatisfaction with any purchase, JAVOedge also back ourselves with our 30-day return policy. 
Thanks for checking in.

Happy Wed. folks!

What happened to the Navy color you had on Amazon yesterday?  The Mimo covers look nice, but I'm not totally keen on the speaker cutouts.  I understand why you put them there, but I don't listen to audio books on my K3, so I'd rather have a nice streamlined look on the back.  I love the inside of the cover though.

I really love these flip cases.    Especially the purple and the teal.    OH MY.    Looks like I will have to think about ordering the K3 so I can get one of these.    LOL   

They are very nice.     I still like the all leather cases but will consider one of these because of the Teal color.

[cbb77]

These are looking real nice.  Couple of questions. 

1. Could you post the dimensions of this.  Particularly interested in the thickness and weight. 

2 . Also I assume the case is designed to fit the K3 snug so no chance of falling out; however as such, curious if you have tested it with a skin on the K3.  I have a skin on mine and would not want to remove it.  I know this style case would be covering it up but there are times I like to use the K3 outside of the case.  Curious if there is enough give to hold unit with skin on it.  I assume so but like to confirm. 

3. I see a pen holder built in.  Is the case designed to close with one in it?  Also curious how much give it has / what size pen.  Actually have no need for pen, but thinking the holder could be use to slip a light through it.  The M-Edge e-Luminator lights can be removed from the plastic arm, leaving just the stalk.  This could be a nice if this could slip right in.

4.  Any other models pending?  I see a Croc skin version posted coming soon.  No interior pictures but I see it does not have the speaker cutouts, which I like better.  Curious if any other models coming soon as well.

[Javoedge]

TGIF, y'all!

I'll answer these questions in-line below. Thanks for your questions, cbb77!

I don't have that information on me right now but I'll get measurements in a bit. Will check back in.

2 . Curious if you have tested it with a skin on the K3.  I have a skin on mine and would not want to remove it.  I know this style case would be covering it up but there are times I like to use the K3 outside of the case.  Curious if there is enough give to hold unit with skin on it.  I assume so but like to confirm. 
Great question. Actually, with the Kindle 3, for rapid turnaround, custom fit, our Kindle 3 cases are tightly contoured to the device. It's a pretty tight, secure fit. From that, I don't believe there is room for a decal-skin Kindle to fit inside at this point.


3. I see a pen holder built in.  Is the case designed to close with one in it?  Also curious how much give it has / what size pen. 
The pen builder accomomdates a regular-size pen (think like a Bic pen). It's designed to be able to close with pen inside it.

4.  Any other models pending?  I see a Croc skin version posted coming soon.  No interior pictures but I see it does not have the speaker cutouts, which I like better.  Curious if any other models coming soon as well.
The Croc will come with speaker cut-outs, the current Amazon photos were temporary placeholders I was just told for pre-orders. We'll get them updated ASAP when cases come in.

And yes, new models are coming out but I don't have any firm dates yet from my boss, as soon as I know you folks will 

[kindlefan]

Can you please post a picture of the flip and book style cases with the cover folded back for reading?  I would like to see if it folds back truly flat or if it's more of a "triangle."  Thank you.

[ErinLindsey]

Here's some pictures of my new cocoa cherry blossom flip cover. My K2 Kyoto cover is also in a couple of pictures. I really do prefer the fabric of the Kyoto cover, but the cherry blossoms are starting to grow on me. At least now my K3 has a cover and I can wait patiently to see if JAVOedge comes out with a new fabric that I can fall in love with for the K3.

I also took a picture of the K3 with the cover folded flat and laying on the desk so that Kindlefan can see that they do fold flat.

[Javoedge]

Nice photos ErinLindsey!! 
Your photos  nicely captured the JAVOedge cases with rich colors.
Yep, the cases do fold flat which is nice for reading.

ErinLindsey, could we feature your photos for Fan Photos on our JAVOedge Store blog? We love it when our customers snap their cases. We would give credit to you and relink it to your KindleBoards post or blog, etc. whichever you prefer.

I'm not sure how to explain this, but I've noticed on my K3 case, there seems to be extra fabric in the fold at the top.  I have a small slip-style purse and I put the Kindle in the Javo case in upside down to keep from running into anything else that is in the same pocket.  When I take it out, the Kindle has slid up a bit and I have to push it back down to get it seated properly and I notice that the front part of the cover comes down past the back part if I fold it over tightly.  I can try to take photos to show what I'm talking about if that helps.  Has anyone noticed that the K3 cover fits differently that the K2 one??

[ErinLindsey]

Go ahead.

Amazon shows that your croc cases will start shipping tomorrow...sure hope that is an accurate estimate because I had to return my Amazon cover today to keep within the return window and now my K3 is naked!

northtexas, thank you for bringing this up! 
I checked in with my office since I wasn't aware of this timeline. Apparently, there has been a technical issue on our end. Our expected inventory for the Croc Cases for Kindle 3G/WiFi got delayed ~ but our "stock" announcement date hadn't changed from when we last expected it to arrive. So, we need to update that ASAP to prevent any misunderstandings for pre-order customers, etc.

I'm getting word back from when the new restock date is. As soon as I get word back, I'll post here... I'd like to thank any customers who've been patiently waiting for their pre-order cases. If anything, please email at support(at)javoedge.com for questions for any potential inconvenience this may cause you.

You folks always keep me on my toes.

The Navy MiMo was accidentally placed online. It was only offered for the B&N Nook. Instead, for the Amazon Kindle 3G/WiFi, we're offering the MiMo Black.

Thanks for waiting! Here are the dimensions for the MiMo Case for Amazon Kindle 3G/WiFi - 4.75 x 7.5 x .625”
