A device that costs about $300 certainly needs to have some kind of protection for it. And the M Edge Kindle cover could provide just the protection you’re looking for. It costs about $45 and at that price, you get the basic covering plus some handy pockets and sufficient padding that can help prevent your Kindle from being damaged even when you take it with you anywhere.

But if you have heard horror stories about some leather covers actually being the cause of damage to the Kindle, you might be a little wary. Fortunately, the M Edge Kindle cover poses no such threat.

What it does offer is a much higher quality feel that other similarly priced covers. Sure, you can spend over $100 on a cover that would rival most designer handbags, but not everyone wants to shell out that kind of money for something that is intended to take the damage the Kindle would otherwise sustain. Since the price is low, you won’t feel so bad if your cover does get a scratch or two. After all, that’s why you bought it. You will get plenty of utility from this cover, but you also get a look and feel that you would expect to pay a lot more for.

What you won’t get is the slim attractive look of the Kindle anymore. The cover, although great for protecting the Kindle, does add a great deal of heft. The overall size increases quite a bit and it noticeable when you close the Kindle with the cover on. You also add a bit of weight to the e-reader. If you really love the sleek look of your Kindle, this may not be very appealing to you.

If you’re looking for some worthy alternatives to the M Edge, think twice before setting your sights on the Amazon leather cover. The issue with this cover goes beyond mere aesthetics – it can cause damage to your Kindle! The hinge system of Amazon’s cover while unique, is known to have caused damaged to the device in some rare instances. The M Edge Kindle cover may have none of that modern “spine” of the Amazon cover, but it protects the Kindle in the old yet effective way.
