M-Edge - Official KindleBoards Thread

[KimberlyinMN]

I have a question about the Capital jacket. Is it mostly microfiber on the outside with a faux leather pocket?  Or is the whole outside faux leather?  What does the "other" side look like? Is it all microfiber or is it all faux leather?

Thanks!!

The picture of the purple jacket makes it look like it is mostly microfiber:

I've noticed that some of their Sony items (for the older models, including the pocket 300) have greatly reduced prices.  I ordered a go jacket made for the Sony old pocket reader in the hope that it will work for my Cybook Opus.

I was wondering whether M-Edge will be making accessories for the newest Sony readers.

[mlewis78]

Received M-Edge Go Cover, designed for Sony prs-300, today (for my Cybook Opus).  It is a little big, but I'm going to keep it and buy some velcro to secure the Opus to the inside of the cover.  The Cybook Opus has rounded corners and is only slightly smaller than the Sony 300.  No one in the U.S. sells Cybook Opus covers, and the only one that Bookeen makes is faux leather.

I just bought two of your ICON covers for the K3; first time with M-edge and am blown away by the beauty and quality.  Picked the red patent and the bronze croc. Good news: being phased out (?J) so I got them at a great price. Bad news: you aren't making these anymore?!?!?!?! I would buy several colors if they were available. Please bring this great sleeve back!!

Hi KimberlyinMN!

Our Capital Jacket is made from microfiber leather which is the highest quality synthetic leather currently available.  Most of the exterior of the jacket is made from this material.  The side shown in the photo you posted has an accent of dyed-to-match nylon fabric.  I hope this helps clarify the description for you!  Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Is Medge considering making covers with integrated lights? I really love Medge covers but I really want an integrated light and I want it enough to get the amazon cover over m-edge unless m-edge starts making the covers with integrated lights.

Howdy..  This is for M-Edge...

I have 2 M-Edge Leather Executive Jacket's, one in Mocha and one in red for my Kindle 1 that I really love.  I wanted to get similar items for my new K3 but I took a look at the Executive Jacket and Go jacket, at best buy I think it was and I was really disappointed.  To me they look like a step down from what M-edge was doing for the K1,  the colors were not great and to me they just felt cheap...

Is there any chance in the future of M-Edge doing the Leather Executive Jacked for the K3 like they did for the K1?

thanks..

Ooo, I love the look of the classic jacket!

Good Morning Everyone!

Stormy - Our e-Luminator Booklight is compatible with just about all of our Kindle3 jackets and is designed to fit into the jackets, some for convenient traveling and storage too!  If you are referring to a light that is a permanent, built-in feature of a jacket, then my answer, unfortunately, is no.  We feel that the versatility our e-Luminator offers for jacket choice is a better option.

Delby - Although we do not currently have any plans on offer ing our Executive Jackets for the Kindle3 in a real leather option, we are working on a few jackets that use real leather.  Our Cambridge Jackets are currently available for sale and we just announced our new, upcoming Classic Jackets this weekend.  We are also working on others that still have not been announced yet.  You can check these two styles out on our website:

I hope this information has been helpful!  Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.  Thank you!

I really like the Touring Sleeve, but have not been able to find it in stock anywhere for the K3.

Will they be coming back?

Thanks in advance!

Just received my Purple Platform Jacket for the K3. (Yes, I DID place my order the minute I saw the announcement. With Amazon Prime 1-day shipping. Why do you ask?  )

Initial impressions:
 

• It looks a lot bulkier than the Amazon (non-lighted) cover, but doesn't feel bulkier.
• It's now a bright, what I would call "royal" purple instead of the previous, kind of odd, smoky dark lavendar-ish purple. I like the new purple much better
• The K3 platform jacket is actually thicker by a TINY bit than my Kindle DX Platform jacket
• I really like the new, totally smooth leather. And the canvas strip looks better in person than in pictures
• The corners don't block access to any of the buttons, unlike one of the canvas covers (Latitude Jacket, I think?) that I saw yesterday.
• The Kindle is held very securely by the corners, again unlike the cover I saw yesterday, which resulted in the Kindle being dropped twice in 5 minutes because the corners didn't hold. 
• My e-Luminator light from the K2 JUST fits in the new Platform Jacket, it's about 2mm too long but it works.

Overall, my initial feeling is that I like it, and I like it better than the Amazon case, which I was really tired of.

oooh the New Yorker Jacket has appeared on coming soon

I noticed on the pictures of the platform jacket that it appears to be wider than the Kindle itself, so there's extra space on the left side (for the light to clip on to?). Is that bothersome in anyway? Or is it not really noticeable?

With my K2, I found this to be much easier to hold the Kindle. In fact, after checking out one of the Executive jackets at Staples on Friday, I'm tempted to get one for this very reason.

Yes, the left side is where the light rests. It doesn't clip so much as the tab slides into a pocket behind the Kindle, then the light lays down along the left of the Kindle when not in use. It's a very handy system.

The extra space is part of what makes the jacket look bulky, but it doesn't feel bulky in any way. It's very comfortable to read with, and having the light right there when it's needed is really nice.

[brandy1]

Is there currently a black e-Luminator light that will fit into the K3 Platform case?  I was going to get the one for the Sony Pocket reader, but it doesn't look like that light is available anymore.

[rittsi]

Thanks for your feedback KimberlyinMN & meglet! I'm really interested in the platform jacket but when I saw that add-on I was worried about it being in the way. I'd never noticed it until yesterday when reviewing the pictures.

After a little bit of snooping, I am fairly sure I'll be getting a new K3 for Christmas!!  (picture me doing the happy dance!!!)  I currently have a green M-Edge Platform for my K2, which I LOVELOVELOVE.  (So much so that my gorgeous Oberon never gets used!)  If/when I get my new K3, I know I'd be happy with a new Platform for it, but what I really covet is a flip-style Icon -- any chance at all that something like that might be offered in the future?  I want something that feels "luxurious," but I am hooked on the flip-style.  Can you help me out??
