M-Edge Platform Genuine Leather Kindle DX Jacket , Jade Green
I love it!
I made the mistake of ordering the wrong size and Amazon immediately sent me the correct one for my DX. Returning the wrong one was easy. Amazon and their customer service are great!!

I have owned this cover for several months and I love it. You can fold it back and hold it, or use it as a stand for hands free reading. It adds a little heft to the Kindle, but not so much that it’s too heavy. I feels more like you’re reading an actual book. The leather is good quality and it does a good job with protection.

When I first bought my Kindle DX, I bought the standard issue Amazon Kindle DX Leather Cover (Fits 9.7″ Display, Latest Generation Kindle DX) and it has been very useful in most regards.
However, I decided I wanted to try the Platform Jacket because the Kindle DX could be set up for hands free reading. In addition, I liked the look of the M-Edge leather better and liked the different colors that were available.
Probably the most important question is which one does a better job protecting the Kindle? I would say it both covers provide comparable protection and neither one is significantly more or less secure than its competitor.
I also have to say that for looks and quality, I believe the M-Edge is a better cover. However, there are definitely things that could be improved to make this a five-star cover:
Advantages of the M-Edge Cover:
——————————–
1. Looks — I love the color and texture of the leather. The leather reminds me of Dooney Bourke AWL purses.
2. Quality and feel of the leather
3. Ability to have the Kindle “support itself” without having to constantly hold it.
Disadvantages of the M-Edge Cover: (things that that Amazon Cover does better)
———————————-
1. The M-Edge strap is located right over port where the power supply would plug in so if you want to charge the Kindle, the cover has to be unstrapped and partially open to plug it in. The Amazon cover can be plugged in regardless of whether the cover is closed or open.
2. The cover doesn’t fold back on itself as neatly as the Amazon Cover which has a softer spine designed to be bent back.
3. The strap that holds the Cover closed gets in the way when the cover is open for reading. It is stiff and doesn’t fold backwards out of the way very comfortably.
4. The M-Edge cover for the DX doesn’t use the hinge system to hold the cover in place and so the elastic straps required to secure the corners of the Kindle are not very “clean” looking. It seems secure enough but still would prefer the hinge locking mechanism.
In the end, I’ll despite the disadvantages of the M-Edge, I’m keeping it and will use it because I really like the ability to stand the Kindle up by itself while reading. However, I hope really hope that someone comes out with a comparable quality cover that uses the actual hinge mechanism that Amazon has devises for the Kindle DX.
