M-Edge Covers coming Soon!
I Sent off an email to M-Edge Support to ask them if
1: Does The 505 Cover Fit the 700 2: Are you Planning on Designing covers for the PRS 700? Here is the Response Quote:
EDIT, They are now available. You can Buy them for the PRS-700 Here And the 505 Here read the review here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47041 (its currently in my sig too) Last edited by Andybaby; 05-30-2009 at 08:23 AM. |

Well its Mid February, and they have Launch Day Kindle covers, and still no 700 cover in existance anywhere! so i threw off another Email to M-edge and i got this as the sad Response
Quote:
Everyone who has a 700 or not go carpet bomb their email asking for one so they dont push it back any further. customerservice@buymedge.com is their email. Thank you if you do it, we 700 owners feel left out. feel free to mention the disappointment you feel in Launch day covers for the Kindle 2, but not the 700 after 3 months! and none likely for another 2!

If you ran a business that sold 10x more Kindle1 covers than Sony 505 covers... would you really be in a hurry to make Sony 700 covers? If your Kindle1 sales were good as or better than expectations wouldn't you do your best to meet the demand for K2 covers? Certainly mailing them and letting them know you have interest (or even willing to pre-order) will help. But, if they only here from a few people I'm sure their doing the math in their head. BOb |

I looked at the M-edge covers available for the 505, compared them with the BookArmor covers and factored in the wait....and then voted with my dollars for BookArmor. They aren't as attractive as what M-edge will probably have, but I'm no longer nervous about tossing my reader in my backpack for my commute.

and the book armor looks stupid. if i had to back pack it, i would use it. but i breast pocket it, so i want something slim and sheek like the stock cover, but made out of leather. I went to the arts and crafts store today with plans to make my own, but the biggest piece of leather they had was an inch too short, I wish I had a sewing machine so i could make my own. |

I disagree...I have a Book Armor cover and love it! And, I think it is rather sharp looking. Most importantly, you would have to do some serious damage to the Book Armor cover to damage the reader. I have been very impressed with it.

They've heard from me! Received pretty much the same response.

I also had their "available mid February" email, sent to me early this month. I replied to their message, it's mid February already. I hope they make one soon, but there may not be enough demand for 700. If Kindle 2 is selling without a cover, there will be more demand for its covers for sure.

The new m-edge covers are finally available and they look great! Check out all the colors on Amazon. Price is not bad either (on sale when this was posted).
This is making it hard for me to decide between an m-edge or tuff-luv cover. Last edited by spirit_wolf; 05-09-2009 at 06:50 PM. Reason: updated hyperlink |
