I assume the dangling strap will bother women more than it will bother men.

Actually, some women prefer it.

When the clip on my cover broke, I pulled out the broken bits completely and then stuck the Reader into the back cover using small squares of double-sided tape. It works well, better than the original arrangement. I think Sony over-engineered the cover.

I'm personally still waiting to buy the I-nique cover, especially because I love to read while eating and the stand on the back makes it hands-free. It also seems like it would hold the reader more securely than the M-edge ones, to me at least.

They're a UK company so shipping and price should be pretty good for you if you were interested. (The cover is also available in pink too). The original post with a review is here.

Have I mentioned how much you lot RULE!

The I-nique is almost perfect for me (And I suspect easily adapted).

You wouldn't believe how many times I have had to prop my reader up against a glass or water bottle to read while I fill my face.

I picked up the I-nique Tuff-luv case a while back, and it's great.

I've not found much use for the stand, but I can see that it might be useful is using it for reference material rather than a novel.

Also, somebody complained about the memory card slots in the review thread ... don't worry about them, they have thought carefully about the position: the card will actually be in contact with the leather strip below the screen, not the screen itself.

MidknytOwl · 01-20-2009, 06:19 AM

Oh good. I'm glad I mentioned it then.

I should just take the plunge and buy one myself anyway...

Riocaz · 01-20-2009, 07:48 AM

According to their website I will no longer be caseless tomorrow. ;-)

Riocaz · 01-21-2009, 10:44 AM

Well I am no longer coverless...

And I am _very_ happy with my purchase. The cover is significantly nicer than the old one.

Well, I just ordered one each of the two M-edge cases. I don't really need them, but hey. Now I'll have four, including the orignial and the lighted case, which I use all the time and love. I haven't yet taken the PRS out in the wilderness for a hike, but if I do, now I've got a case for it. The professional case, with its pockets, will be very handy.

BlackVoid · 01-22-2009, 09:50 AM

Actually, I use the reader without the cover at home. It is lighter and easier to handle with one hand.

Just got the Tuff-Luv cover from Amazon. It's great, so much easier to hold than the one that comes with the reader.

Well, I got my Medge cases and I have to say that I'm disappointed overall. The M-edge executive case is alright. It is thick and padded and the pockets are nice. The one problem is that the little grippies that hold on the Reader hinders the off/on switch.

The M-edge leisure jacket is just worthless. It is just a zippered box with a clear plastic cover. It is usable (barely) with the cover closed, but there is nothing to keep the Reader securely inside when it

I give the M-edge executive a c+. and the M-edge leisure jacket a D.

Thanks for the info.

This complaint held me back from buying the Tuff-luv case. I have now ordered one.
