Improved M-Edge Executive Jacket for PRS 505
The new, improved line of M-edge Genuine Leather Excecutive Jackets for the PRS 505 are out now, and available on Amazon.com! They look really nice & sleek, like the Kindle 2 ones. I just bought one in Marbled Grey w/Black trim! I'll let you know what I think when it arrives. I'm hoping this will last MUCH better than my poor, broken tri-fold cover... Sony, get a clue!

The only issue is the e-luminator is not yet out so you cannot get them together yet.

I would not buy one of these for my PRS-505 because they use corner straps to hold the reader in the cover instead of using the mounting points provided.

I love my current cover with light built-in but I'm now looking for a new cover that I can put it in while I travel. Some protection and screen cover that stays in place is what I want. |

This is the best solution I've seen so far, unless someone comes up with an improved, unbreakable clip for the current mounting points. Sayhello |

I strongly dislike covers that use corner straps to hold the reader. I believe Sony's original design is a lot more comfortable. It was even better om PRS-500 but I can see benefits of a 505 over 500. Would not buy M-Edge.

The M edge web site will ship internationally but we just have to wait till they have them on their web page (they told me may 8 - but apparently not). The shipping is pretty expensive so I am waiting for the new covers to be listed so I can buy a leisure jacket as well. I think it was only about $2 extra shipping to add another cover. Then I want the light that will be released for the 505 cover but they dont have a date on that yet. So I have to wait until the covers are listed on the M egde page and then decide if I want to wait longer for the light.
Seems like I am in for a wait <g> Natalie |

As for the corner strap attachment method , I wasn't too sure about it either at first. I needn't have been concerned; it works just fine and is very secure. The strap closure is just a friction fit into the slot but it too is quite secure. I'm sure you will love them |

I have the old model cover, and I love the corner straps. With all the tales of the Sony holders breaking, I never felt secure carrying my Reader in my purse, and that's why I bought the darned thing. The M-Edge feels much more secure and protective, and certainly better than Oberon's Velcro option (what are they thinking!) I might use Velcro if a case I loved broke and I was too cheap to buy an new one, but I wouldn't *buy* a case that attaches with Velcro.
The M-Edge smells good, too (at least to me. I love that leather smell). |

Agree with this. The Sony stock cover does the job and is great for one-handed reading. (The 500 cover is as well.) This cover looks quite bulky, and the corner straps look kludgy. I strongly prefer Sony's minimalist and more functional design. I've been dragging mine everywhere for about 1.5 years now, and the cover is holding up just fine.
