You could always use a little extra packing or craft foam to provide a better fit for the iPad in the sleeve case you already have. Additional covers are reaching the market every week or so, it seems, and eventually the right one will probably come along for you.
My husband also has the M-Edge, and he loves it. Like you, I found it too heavy and didn't like the tab--I use my iPad alone about 1/3 of the time, and in a MacAlly Bookstand cover the other 2/3. The MacAlly is great from a functional perspective WRT positioning in both upright "frame" and typing positions; however, as far as protection goes, I doubt it adds much. It does have a front screen cover to help protect against impacts, but there's virtually no padding, so any increase in protection is probably negligible. For me though, it's perfect--almost no increase in weight, and the iPad is carried around in its own pocket in a messenger bag anyway (along with the Kindle and the wireless Apple keyboard), so the minimal protection the MacAlly lends is fine. Being able to use the angled typing position was the real reason I wanted a cover at all, otherwise, just a sleeve would have been fine.
But to be fair, I also bought the SquareTrade warranty, just as I did with the Kindle. If the iPad doesn't survive a bad fall, it's covered. It's well worth the extra $100 for two years of peace of mind against my own klutzy ways! I do take ordinary precautions with it, but the SQ coverage means I don't feel like I need to take extraordinary ones.
