Review of Amazon Kindle 2 / Kindle International CaseCrown Double Memory Foam Case

I love this case. It is very slim and weighs about 5 oz. The cover is dark-brown nylon and will provide good protection in backpacks and purses

It holds the Kindle securely with clear plastic straps on the bottom corners and black elastic straps on the top corners.

It is padded with memory foam but it is not too thick.

You can unzip and fold it completely back which gives you a more comfortable, thicker grip. (I find the Kindle2 is a little too thin to hold in my hands for long periods of time.)

The zipper is a little tight at the corners. I figure this will improve with time.

There is an inside pocket, but I don't see carrying the cord and plug as displayed in the photos because there would be a big bulge and it would be difficult to zip it closed.

The only design flaw is that the top corner elastic band covers the power switch. You have to pull the elastic to the side to turn it on or off.

I like this better than the cases you completely remove because the Kindle stays attached--no fumbling with taking it out of the case, then keeping up with the case. This is important to me because the main place I use my Kindle is in the subway. I can pull it out of my purse, unzip, fold back and read.

Review of M-Edge Page Genuine Leather Kindle Sleeve (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle), Pebbled Cream w/ Saddle

I ordered this sleeve together with my kindle. Very nice leather, fits the kindle like a glove and it is lightly padded so your kindle is protected if it falls. The saddle holds securely but even if the saddle is open the kindle does not budge. Best of all it is not bulky and fits perfectly into your bag.

Review of M-Edge Touring Kindle Sleeve (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle), Lime Green

I like using my Kindle "naked" and wanted a cover for use while traveling.Initially, this cover was a little tight, however, it "relaxed" and loosened up after a few uses.What really peeves me, though, is that the exterior neoprene got dirty very quickly, and I can't get it clean!!It looks terrible!Other than this issue, this cover works well and affords excellent protection when the Kindle is being carried in another bag (i.e., a carry-on, large purse, etc.).I am now shopping for another cover that will offer the same type of protection and can be cleaned easily!!

Review of M-Edge Executive Synthetic Leather Kindle DX Jacket (Fits 9.7" Display, Latest Generation Kindle DX), Smooth Black

I just got my M-Edge cover two days back, and am so far very happy. It looks like it'll protect my Kindle DX as well as my old M-Edge cover did my Kindle 1-- which is to say very well indeed, and against much abuse. But, the _best_ thing is how it's engineered to also work as a book stand! The Kindle might as well have been designed to be used with a book stand-- It's _perfect_ in this position, so much so that I rarely read without one except in bed. Having a book stand designed into the cover saves me from carrying around one more bit of impedimenta. I also like that it's designed to work with and easily stow a book light. (My M-Edge light is still on order, so I haven't been able to try this combo yet. But, it looks like a winner from the pictures.) And, at the sale price I paid, this cover was a good investment. Hard-core traditionalists may not be able to get past the fact that the cover opens vertically (like a legal pad) instead of horizontally. Me, I actively prefer this style, in part because the design is necessary to the book-stand function.

As an early Kindle adopter, when I reviewed the Kindle 1 I lamented the absence of a cover that would conveniently carry a light and also serve as a bookstand. I can only applaud M-Edge for coming up with this very nice design, perhaps in response to my own posting. While I can't judge the light yet, so far I'm rolling in clover.

Review of TrendyDigital WaterGuard Waterproof Case for Kindle DX, Purple Border

I like taking my Kindle to the beach and this product works great for keeping sand/water out.It has several "safety" closures to make sure nothing is going to get in.It does make it difficult to turn it on, but that's no big deal when you compare it with the comfort of knowing your Kindle is protected.I don't have any glare or problem with the Kindle having space within the case - it doesn't make it more difficult to read. The long carry cord makes it nice when you're trying to carry your beach chair, cooler, etc. I'm very happy with this product.

Review of MaxGuard Plus Kindle Cover (fits 2nd Generation Kindle), with Embedded Corner Closure, Red Color

This leather cover isn't "fine Corinthian leather" but it does the job to protect my Kindle2 without doing any of the hinge damage suggested by other models of covers. The Kindle fits snugly within the leather frame. After a while, you don't even notice it while you are reading. The outside cover texture is slightly matte, making it easy to hold securely. The inside is faux velvet. The stitching is close and even. The magnets keep the cover closed when the Kindle is not in use, and overall, the case does not add much to the size of the device at all. As promised, the cutouts provide ready access to all the buttons and plugs. And you can't beat the price. I'm very happy with my purchase. I only wish they had other colors besides black and red.

Review of TrendyDigital WaterGuard Waterproof Case for Kindle DX, Blue Border

I have purchased a waterproof case for the K2 from TrendyDigital before. I liked its functionality and design. Now I have gotten a DX. I decided to get TrendyDigital's Waterproof case for my Kindle DX as well, and I'm very happy because I made the right decision. The case is very easy-to-use, and it definitely serves its purpose. To open the case, all you have to do is unbutton the two buttons at the top to reveal a double layer of secure seal, which you can then unseal.. When I put my Kindle DX inside the case, it fit very well. There is a little space at the blue border. It is useful if you want to put a small bag of moisture absorbance material. The blue border around the device adds a nice contrast I might add.


Once I sealed the Kindle into the case, I found that the buttons and the keyboard were easily accessible. The power switch cannot be accessed once the Kindle is sealed into its case, but this is expected seeing as it is a waterproof case after all. I had no difficulty opening the case to access the power button, so no complaints here. I might also add that I have taken my Kindle (in its waterproof case of course) to the beach several times now, and my Kindle DX has never gotten wet. The case is simple yet effective, and I would highly recommend buying it if you're like me and often use your Kindle for beach reading/bathtub reading.
