It might be hard to combine three separate threads... BUT, you could easily have a single sticky with links to the three threads' separate URLs.

The thing I'm concerned about is a proliferation of short, individual "can anyone recommend a xxx?" threads because the comprehensive "All about xxx!" thread that could have answered this question gets pushed back a couple of pages... and then a dozen... and is finally forgotten.

Admins? If you're reading this - how about it?

P.S. And just to stay more generally on topic: I love my Kindle leather lighted cover :-D

Yeah, it seems a bit strange hiding such a resourceful thread(s) to Kindle users, especially to newcomers.

One advantage of the touch is that it actually takes a finger to turn it on, so I don't have to worry about something bumping it and turning it on when it's in my bag.
Good point, even if I do find the scenario unlikey to happen. But it's indeed the thought: ''what if?'' that matters, anyway.

If I had designed it, I would have made it so that when the arm is at a 90 degree angle (downward), it would be permanently turned off, touch function off. But it's manageable, so I don't compain too much about it.

My M-Edge custom cover arrived a week ago, and I just now got around to snapping photos. The photo of the back is a little off because of the flash, and I blurred out my contact info at the bottom. I'm really happy with this cover.

There's also a (slightly out of focus) photo of the keyboard area with the NoKey skin on. The skin looks graphite in incandescent light, dark slate blue with the camera flash, and dark green in natural light and under the LED booklight. It's a little shinier than I would like, but the matte versions had not-so-good reviews. After a couple of days I got used to it.

The light is the M-Edge eLuminator, and though I thought having it on the side like that would be awkward, it's actually fine for me. In fact, it keeps me from accidentally hitting the page turn buttons, but isn't in my way when I do so on purpose. I tried a couple of other cheaper lights a few months ago, and didn't like those, but I really like this one. It takes a AAA battery, which we already have a ton of around the house.
I love your cover, you did a great job on the design. I love the MyEdge cover I designed, they are so lightweight. And the eLuminator light is actually my favorite light I own now. After 2 years of trying various lights, this is the one I use the most now.

Never heard of them till now, but they've got an A- rating with the BBB (which is typical for a business that's only been around a couple of years) and there are a couple of tech gear sites and a few other sites with good reviews for them.

Sorry.

They offer extreme protection for some electronics (as well as knees ), Unfortunately not for the Kindles for now.
