Review of M-Edge GO! Genuine Leather Kindle Jacket with Hinge (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle), Marbled Red

My GO! is in red marbled leather.The leather is a beautiful shade of bright red -- very nicely made, with precise white stitching at the edges.Inside is completely lined with soft silvery gray felt. I would have guessed the inside was suede, but I'm told M-edge uses felt.At the center, a strip of red leather holds the Amazon-patented hinges. The Kindle clicks easily into the hinges, and feels very secure when connected.Black elastic corners hold the top and bottom right corners of the Kindle, with red leather trim covering the corners of the device itself.The corner supports are attractive, but seem unnecessary since the hinge system is very secure.If the corners had been optional, I would not have chosen them, but at least they give me another touch of my favorite color.

I ordered this cover because it was compact, and I'm very happy with its slim profile.The GO! is only the tiniest bit taller and wider than the Kindle: 8-5/16" tall and 5-7/8" wide. With my K2 inside, it is only 3/4" thick.The M-edge web site shows dimensions of 8.25 in. x 5.25 in. x 0.66 in.My ruler didn't agree with the first two dimensions; I measured the thickness WITH the Kindle inside, so that's why my third measurement differs.

This is a no-frills cover.There is no clasp, no pocket, and no extra space in the fold for the M-edge E-luminator book light.The only unnecessary features, IMHO, are the two elastic corners.A clasp, pocket(s) and/or a spot for the E-luminator would add width and weight, so I'm happy not to have them.People who want something to keep the cover closed could use an elastic band. I'm satisfied with my Mighty Brite book light, so didn't need the space for the E-luminator. It would have been nice to have just one small pocket, just large enough for a business card, but I can live without it.

When the GO! cover is folded back for reading, the suede-like felt on the fold feels good in my hands.There are no sharp edges on the right side where the two cover edges come together, so that feels comfortable, as well.

No part of the GO! cover obscures menu buttons, mini-USB port, power switch, earphone jack or volume control slider.However, with the corner supports in use, the speakers are held tightly against the back cover.When I tested the Text-to-Speech feature, I adjusted the volume to compensate, and I could hear just fine.

I've read reviews that complain about the smell of M-edge leather covers... this cover was not odor-free, but it is not an unpleasant odor. I'd compare it to the smell of leather seats in a new car.It seems to be fading as quickly as the "new car" smell does, too.

At $29.99, the Go! shares the same price as Amazon's black cover, but as Amazon should and may yet learn, color choices are a good thing!All in all, I'm very pleased with this purchase.
