M-Edge - Official KindleBoards Thread

[leslieray]

I had the same thing happen to mine. The reason being is that the Prodigy and Go! are designed for the NAKED device only. I know the skin is very thin but the small strip of leather by the hinges pushes the skin back. I have no complaints because I never see the back of my Kindle.

After reading this posting, I had to check if the same thing was happening to my skin as well as I own a synthetic leather prodigy. Thankfully, it's fine but I have only been having mine for almost two months and I have only taken my Kindle out once before, then twice just now to check it.

I'm really sorry this is happening to you. I truly hope you can find a way to resolve this issue.

I have an M-Edge Platform Jacket in gray  and black. I love it. I'm really happy I got the Platform instead of the Prodigy.

Hadn't heard about the Guardian until reading this thread. This is exactly what I've been looking for. Can't wait for the release.

I was surprised to see m-edge products at Best Buy last night.  Glad to see you expanding.

Also waiting on guardian

Is the Guardian going to be available for the DX also?

[lvnknit]

m edge executive cover for original kindle is no longer available.... are there to be no more of your covers for this particular kindle :  (

I have red leather and would love another - especially blue.....   

[arshield]

Do you have a date on the guardian yet?  I would really like to get it before I go on an upcoming kayaking trip.

You guys are killing me with the guardian delays.  I leave for a kayaking trip in just over 2 weeks.  And our community pool opened last week.  I want to buy it.

[Hoosiermama]

M-Edge, is there any news on the release date for the Guardian? Your last post on 4/9 said you would have exciting news soon.

It seems to vary by cover. I have used 2 different Go! Jackets with a skin on the Kindle and one (purple) didn't interfere with the skin at all, and one (New Yorker) scrunched the skin pretty badly. I'll probably just leave the back skin off next time I put my Kindle in a cover, since I don't take it out to read anyway.

Guess I didn't win, darn

[rlkubi]

Do they sell the Icon jacket in Azure at Best Buy?

[AmandasPanda]

M-Edge - No offence, but i am getting sick of hearing "we'll have news shortly or soon"
You have actually been saying this for months.
Either give us the information and release the product or stop talking about it until you are ready to release the product. 5 months of publicity with no release date in site is a bit of an overkill don't you think?
Can you understand peoples frustration with this?

[ayuryogini]

On the other hand, I appreciate the updates;
it lets me know they haven't forgotten that we're waiting;
and they're working on developing a great product, and not rushing to production.
I don't mind waiting for a great product, but then, I love that feeling of anticipation.

any news on the guardian?

[AlexJouJou]

I wanted to say M-edge had great customer service with me. I ordered a cover on Friday and then got my skin and realized the two did not match. I had ordered it in the afternoon on Fri and I got expedited. I called this morning and the lady said it was in process but she would swap my blue cover for the brown one. I got her email later and she did exactly as promised. They certainly didn't have too..they could have made me send it back.

Thanks to M-Edge and great service!!

[mishymac]

ayuryogini - I would like to know how 'stay tuned more news on the guardian soon' is an update?? they could keep telling us this until the end of time......would you be happy then???

I agree M-Edge has great customer service...I have been very happy with all my previous purchases from them and have recommended them as the main source for K2 covers to at least 5 people (of which all 5 have since purchased M-Edge covers!) and am a very loyal fan......

However I am also getting VERY sick of the stay tuned garbage....either give us a date, whether it's the 1st of June this year or January next year, at least if we have a date and not just a "spring release" people are probably more likely to be less vocal about their frustration.....if there is a specific date any desperados like me can at least hold their breath til the release date.....

Amazon at least gave a release date for the international version of the K2 even though it was 2 months prior to the actual date when they told us. I don't know of many companies that continuously say coming soon.....

Not only are we not being given a release date, but it seems as though M-Edge doesn't wish to address these queries directly on any chat forums, they DO reply to other queries regarding other products and problems, but are conveniently 'ignoring' any comments/feedback about the guardian release!!!

Again I am a HUGE fan of M-Edge covers, and would dearly love to have a guradian case......I'm just not too sure how much longer I can wait??

[Missyrose]

Amen mishymac  Couldn't have said it better myself.

[Hoosiermama]

Agreed, mishymac! It struck me as odd that they consider the Guardian case finished enough to provide it as a prize, yet not finished enough to sell. I have wondered if the person who won the Guardian case here received it yet, or if it's promised in the future.

I wanted to take my Kindle to the lake this weekend, but not sure if I'm comfortable doing that without the Guardian....oh well.

[AmandasPanda]

Hoosiermama - good point - I also wonder if the person who won Kindle in the Wild comp have received their guardian yet? or if the people that were given promo codes have been able to use them and get a guardian early?

I was sure that when they finished the Kindle in the Wild comp they would finally release the product - bit of bad luck for the people that have won that they have been given promo codes but cant use them to get their prize as the company has not yet released the product.

I say just give us a date - at least then we have something to count down to and we know what to expect.

Are there any plans in the future for us to be able to order the light in other colors? I realize the white light matches the naked Kindle, but I would rather it matched my case so it doesn't stick out so much. I have the Latitude case in black and would love the light to be black instead of white. (I also have a platform) Your products are great and have lasted a year so far. I highly recommend them to others.

[krystalspin]

kat,
That's funny, I never noticed until I went looking, there is one pic in the 'gallery' below the main photo on the M-Edge site, that shows the light in black.  So I guess they had it once...  Also I didn't know there was a slot for it in the Latitude cover.  Let's see if you get an answer.

[mishymac]

Kat,

I bet you get an answer about your light before we get an answer about the guardian 

[SimonStern2]

My sister gave me an M-Edge Prodigy cover for my birthday.  It is the smooth leather (jade green) cover and it's VERY difficult to fold back.  It was nearly impossible when I got it.  It's better now, but still very stiff and the leather gets all bunched up when folded around.  (Which doesn't really bother me, I am actually hoping for some "character lines.")

When I was at her house the other day I noticed that she has the same case, but in the "pebbled" finish (the blue cover) and it was MUCH better for folding back on itself.  I am tempted to pick up one of the pebbled cases for myself, but wish there were a few more color options (particularly slightly more masculine colors.)  In the gallary there is a pebbled grey with a black accent that I like (but it's not selectable for purchase.)  The brown with saddle is nice, and I'd like the blue but my sister already has that one, and would prefer to get something different for myself.

I would love to see a dark green with the pebbled finish, as the Jade is a little pale for my taste.

The only black one I saw was for the Sony I think (or maybe nook) it's a little smaller and shorter. Yes it fits in the Latitude cover, there is a slide pocket on the back side. I put mine in the front pocket when I travel though. I just hate that my cover is black, skin is dark blue, and the light is stand out white. lol I try to keep my K2 diguised a little, not just for thieves but when I am involved in a book I hate when people want to discuss my Kindle lol. I sat on a 3 hr flight and read less than a chapter in my book because people kept asking me questions and wanting to see it etc. It's not like you can leave or even switch seats, so the less obvious the better.
