Having recently purchased an Amazon Kindle 2 I am in the market for a jacket. I have spent alot of time researching and reviewing various options and want to share my experience and knowledge so you can make a better buying decision. Today I am concentrating on the M-edge GO! Jacket for the Kindle 2.

Summary of product

The M-edge GO! Jacket has a genuine leather exterior with a grey microfiber interior. It is one of the most minimalistic jackets for the Kindle 2 — when closed it’s only 0.66 inches thick. It securely latches onto the Kindle and has a very soft interior to protect the screen from scratches.

It has no extraneous features (distractions) such as pockets or straps. This is great for the Kindle user looking for a simple & elegant protective cover. The front and back are made of high-quality, durable materials. The covers are very stiff, offering great protection for the Kindle 2 screen. The microfiber interior is incredibly soft so there are no worries about it scratching the Kindle.

Perhaps the best feature of this jacket is the way it attaches to the Kindle. It is the first third-party jacket I have seen that utilizes the Kindle’s built-in hinge mechanism (see pictures below.) This makes for a very strong and secure attachment. Furthermore, because of the outer-edge straps, it is more secure than Amazon’s official cover because your Kindle will not loosely flap around.

Details

The M-edge GO! Jacket is made of padded 100% genuine leather on the outside with a very soft  microfiber ultrasuede interior. It’s dimensions when closed are 8.25in. x 5.25in. x 0.66in. And it only weighs 7.2 oz so you will not notice much added weight.

Likes

• Access to all ports while closed
• Very low profile
• Quality materials and durable, trustworthy construction
• Great protection for the Kindle screen

Dislikes

• Initially I wished for a strap to keep it closed (I am a fan of the Moleskine). However, after using it for a few weeks I love it as is (so this isn’t really a dislike after all.)

Opinion

This is one of the most minimalistic jackets for the Kindle 2. It has a subtle style and durable construction you can trust in. It protects the Kindle well and is easy to hold while reading. I highly recommend the M-edge GO! Jacket for the Kindle 2.
