When I purchased my K2 I got the Patagonia cover at the same time. It works well as a case, because it zips all around, but I would like to buy a better cover, one that truly fits the K2 and doesn't slip. I'm not interested in the M-Edge because it looks weighty, and I'd like to keep the K2 as light as possible. Any ideas? TIA.

I've heard the javoedge are considered pretty light...they have beautiful patterns. I like the Bobbarra's but most say they are pretty weighty

I have seen a comparison by weight on here maybe someone can find the link. I fail at searching (I think just patience challenged)

I agree - M-Edge GO is a nice simple lightweight cover. I have been using one for about 4 months and it holds up well. I really like the rail system. I originally had an Oberon but it was too heavy for me (though quite a bit nicer looking  ). Just ordered another M-Edge GO for my Husbands K2 that is on the way. |

Noreve covers are pretty lightweight and sleek. I've got 2 for my K2 and one for my DX and really like them alot. Some people have had trouble w/customer service and getting their orders but I didn't experience any problems, aside from waiting 5 weeks for my DX cover.

I'm checking out all of the suggestions. I just wanted to add that I'm looking for a cover that can stay on all the time. I don't like taking the K2 out of its cover. And the sleeker the better. Keep the suggestions coming!

Can you explain how the Kindle is held in place and what the "rail system" is? In the pic it looks like there are just 2 small bands holding it on, but that can't be right, can it? |

My Seidio cover for my Blackberry is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I can't believe they don't make Kindle covers. Wish they did! I just read that the Medge GO weighs 9.8 ounces. That's a bit too much for me.

I love everything about my JAVOedge cover. I don't know the weight but I don't notice it being weighty.

If you take a look at the photo of the cover opened without a Kindle, you can see two clips in the center. These attach to openings on the Kindle designed just for this. The 2 bands are more for keeping you from opening the cover the wrong way. http://www.buymedge.com/products/kindle2-go.psp |

Okay, after reading every possible review and obsessing for a few days, I finally ordered the javoedge black fabric cover. I'll do a review once it arrives and I've had a chance to live with it for awhile. Thanks for all input!

I got the red cherry blossum book style. I might have gone for the flip style but it wasn't offered in red when I got mine and I didn't want to wait. |
