Another thought. I'd advise anyone who's planning to buy an aftermarket Kindle 2 cover (say the M-edge, for example) to wait or insist that the manufacture use the Amazon hinge piece for mounting the Kindle to the cover. All those ugly and inconvenient corner attachments as well as velcro mounting solutions are now totally unnecessary from both a functional and aesthetic perspective.
It may be that Amazon is not making the hinge piece available to the aftermarket manufacturers, which would be unfortunate, since it works so well and represents simplicity in its highest form. In my view, the new hinge attachment has made all other mounting solutions, in a word, crude.
