Kindle 3 M-Edge New Yorker Cover with Light for $9.99 shipped - Page 3

stormcloude · 05-11-2012, 07:18 AM

I bought one of the M-Edge New Yorker Kindle covers to get the free light and I like it so much I'm going to keep my T1 in it, although it's not a perfect fit. Now I need to buy a different skin that will match the cover.

jj2me · 05-15-2012, 11:43 AM

Got mine, it's great. Highly recommended at this price.

I expected a floppy, canvas cover. Instead, it's a hard cover all around, mostly brown leather (or fake leather?), with the front having the sewn-on/glued-on fabric New Yorker cover. The inside is a really nice tan microsuede. Classy looking, all around. The light is quite bright on the highest setting, better than I expected for only having one AAA. The best position for storage has the light hanging down the right side when not in use, not a big deal, but not protected in any way by the cover.

Only teensie downside is that it's now harder to access the K3's on/off switch

Best looking e-reader case I have. Best price for a light/case combo.

Thanks Boston (OP) and GeckoFriend (bumped the thread for late-comers like me to see).

I like mine so much, I ordered another (dogwood). I may put my Sony in it, as stormcloude mentioned. Or I may just save it.

I take the light out when not in use, to protect it.

The case is loose on the k79 and tight on the fire. The light is great, but it really only works with the case as it slides into a slot in the side. I think I will afix a velcro strap where the light goes and a piece inside the opposite cover so I can use the case to stand my fire up for watching movies. I'll find a use for the light.

Asawi · 05-17-2012, 04:24 AM

I just wanted the light (don't own a K3). I have a previous version of their light and it's great, especially for $10!
I'm a big "modifier" of all sorts of things, so I'm sure I'll find some use for the great looking "Sunday in Central Park" cover as well!

It seems to fit fairly snugly if you leave the gray foam piece behind the T1. I shook mine vigorously upside down (over my bed) and it didn't fall out, although one corner came close. Not the prettiest way to do things, but not too horrible. And you can't beat the price.

Well my T1 is in a silicone skin so that should hold it snugly. It will be nice to have that light for it. That is the nicest light I have tried!

What about the buttons on the Sony? Are they covered or affected at all by the bottom straps?

Not at all.

Thought about glomming the pair, but my Kindle has too many occasional outfits as it is. It would be like buying an extra bottle of Serge Lutens for that clothes-horse and soon-to-be-ex girlfriend who's preparing to leave the country.

Love the idea of supporting New York, the New Yorker and cultural literacy in general. I really like the eye-book cover as well.

(Note: Better for Apple to embed human eyes in their products than graft first-person pronouns to product names.)

Still, I actually prefer the European fit of the Octovo cover and light, and that deal is rather sweet, too.

Shopaholic · 05-26-2012, 11:05 AM

Hiya!

I wanted to post pictures of the Sony T1 in the New Yorker cover. It fits. Barely. What I did to make it more secure is cut a piece of shelf liner the size of the reader itself and put it behind it. It doesn't change the fit in terms of making it more secure but it sure is hard to make that thing slide out. It's the stuff that feels plasticy/rubbery and has little nubs that make it easy to cut to fit what ever you're using it for.

I had some lying around but you can buy it for a few bucks at Walmart. I happened to have black so I used it. I think it works really well. I have a bunch of leather envelope style cases from Ex-Point but no cover & I refuse to spend the kind of money Sony is asking for theirs which I'm not crazy about to begin with. So I figured for $10, why not try the New Yorker. I'm happy with it. I think it works great.

Nice of you to post these pictures.Thanks...Beautiful cover choice!!

Sigyn · 06-06-2012, 06:52 AM

Oh yeah, I think we have some of that around. The shelf liner stuff. I can totally repurose some now because I hate it in drawers and on shelves and our kitchen was full of it when we moved in. Wonder where I stuck it?

Oh, and Kaysclie? My little girl [one and a half] just walked up to me and howled and pointed at your "wolves" there.

booklover6 · 06-06-2012, 07:41 AM

My T1 is in a silicone skin (the removable kind) and it is ideal at holding the Sony in that cover. No chance of slipping. I only put it in the cover when I want to use the light. Otherwise I keep it in a soft zipper bag.
