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.
