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 the M Edge does guarantee is a leather cover that has a high quality feel as compared to other covers with the same price. There may be other leather covers that can compete even with brand name handbags but for that, you might end up shelling out about one-third the price of the Kindle itself. Some people could stand a scratch or two if that’s how steep the cover is going to be. The M Edge on the other hand, offers a reasonable protection at a reasonable price. The good thing is, the lower cost doesn’t actually show.

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.

But if you are looking toward buying the Amazon leather cover, you may be swayed back when you find out that the Amazon cover actually poses a threat of damage to the Kindle. While the hinge system on Amazon’s cover is very unique, in rare situations it can damage the Kindle. The M Edge Kindle cover does not have the advanced spine of the Amazon cover, but it will protect your favorite ebook reader just as well.
