Now this is much better! May 30, 2008

The Kindle is held much more securely in place than the original cover. I like the soft leather and the classy deep-red color, it is not a bright Christmas-red as portrayed in the pictures provided here by Amazon, but a deeper shade. A benefit of buying red is that it is easy to spot it in your luggage or car because everything else is usually very dark.
The best feature is the left side pockets. There are 5 of them - one large enough for a CD or pad of paper, 2 medium and 2 small pockets to accommodate flash drive, SD cards, or business cards. I like that a lot and use it even for a credit card or medical card occasionally... drivers license, even money, if you're going for a walk in the park and don't want to carry anything else. The on/off switches in the back are not exposed, but the right corner has an elasticized band that allows you to pull the Kindle away from the case to use the switches. I've read at KindleKorner that some of you find that the right corner is too tight - just leave it off, I do. It stays securely in place with just the other 3 corners in place, and you can easily access the back switches. The pocket side of the case provides adequate padding for the screen. I leave a little cloth wiper in one of the side pockets which adds a little extra cushioning as well.
The left side also folds back, as some have wondered, and fits comfortably in the hand. When the left side is folded back, the left-side cover creates a ledge, so to speak, for the right thumb, so you are not accidentally hitting the "next page" button. That in itself made the purchase worthwhile. The pencil holder sits to the left side of the Kindle and can not scratch the screen or get in the way. It does not have a stand, but that doesn't bother me. If you need a stand get something else.
In my opinion, it seems overpriced, therefore the 4 stars instead of 5. A fair price for this would be under $30. My laptop case cost less than this case did and it is a pretty nice one. If the $55 price-tag is within your budget margin then I think you will be happy with this choice. Thumbs up!
Update Oct. 2008 - just noticed the price is coming down since I got mine. That helps, eh?

This product corrects the design flaws of the original Amazon Kindle case (no velcro workarounds needed with this one!) and adds an element of luxury with its beautiful leather (mine is red). It also offers a larger ledge/finger rest which I find more comfortable than the original. There is an elastic and leather band to hold even the top right corner in place -- very easy access to the on/off & wireless switches. I personally don't care for the feel of suede, so the case that comes with the Kindle would never have worked for me. The Kindle is absolutely secure and protected by this case -- no slippage at all during use and kept safe from falling out of the case while in transit by the band incorporated into the cover. Highly recommended!

I just got my red leather M-edge cover yesterday and am loving it! The color is rich and gorgeous, the Kindle fits perfectly and securely into the cover, while still allowing access to the back buttons. The stitching is beautifully done.
When folded backwards, the cover provides a "ledge" on the left side which is substantial enough (more so than the original Kindle cover) to allow easy grasping and prevents any accidental hitting of the "next" button on the Kindle. I even attach my Mighty Bright booklight to this ledge, so it doesn't "hurt" the beautiful leather on the front.
It has five pockets for storing things: two for SD cards, plus two for business or credit cards, and one larger pocket (CD size). There is also a pen-holder.
The leather also has a beautiful smell. Overall it's the most beautiful book cover I've ever had, and it makes the Kindle look even more sleek and stylin' than before, if that is possible.
I'm really enjoying the rich red color, and must say it looks way more gorgeous in real life than the online pictures show.
 Pros and Cons October 8, 2008

Pros-Love the deep red (not cherry red as shown) color which makes it easy to find inside my purse; like the pockets and pen holder; like that the M-edge holds the Kindle securely (so securely I don't use the top right elastic because it made it impossible to turn the Kindle on)
Cons-Not a plush feeling case for the money. The leather is okay but there doesn't seem to be any padding (or very little); there isn't any padding inside the front cover to add protection to the screen; the stitching around the tab insert came loose immediately; the inside of the spine after one month shows puckers and the tab itself seems to be wearing quickly.
I'm glad my Kindle sits in this securely unlike the cover that came with it but wish for the money they'd made this one better or sold it for under $25 or $30.
Love my M-Edge kindle cover April 28, 2008

I love my kindle, but the cover that is included with the kindle is not sturdy enough for me. I am an international flight attendant and am in and out of airports and security checkpoints, packing and unpacking bags and in and out of hotels constantly. I need a cover that is hefty enough to protect my kindle but light enough to travel well. I purchased the leather executive kindle cover by M-Edge in red and couldn't be more pleased. The kindle is held in at all four corners, there is a closing flap to keep it secure when closed then tucks away for reading and there is storage for memory or business cards. The red leather is beautiful and stylish. I'm ready to go.
