but this is the email I got from them:

Thank you for your interest in our products! This is still a potential future product, but we do not have any other information regarding it at this time.

Sounds disappointing. I guess I will have to do without. D**** customs fees

have you tried amazon. in the u.s. the covers are on sell for 19.99 for the newer covers and 14.99 for the older ones?

Those covers are registeret under 'electronics' and I can't buy electronics from outside USA. Or from amazon.co.uk for that matter.

Skipped the light (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49758), and ordered the cream and the purple covers. Hope they'll send them today - should get them next week then. Looking forward

I've had an M-edge cover before so I know the quality.

YAY! had I seen this poll at the right time, I would've voted for Purple. I am waiting for the e-luminator light myself then I think I might get the Purple myself! By the time they come out with the e-luminator I should be ready to move on from my lightwedge.

I've ordered the mighty bright travel flex light - which seems to work well (there's another thread here about it) - from a British retailer.

Yes I was looking at the Mightybright website last night after seeing all the messages on this forum. Now I just have to decide which of them would work best for me. I do plan to keep the lightwedge for awhile longer....hopefully by the time I'm ready to get a new one the m-edge e-luminator will be out.

I got the flex light yesterday, and it's very light, only 35 g with battery. I think it works very well. Still don't have the covers I've ordered so I can't say how it works with the M-edge covers, but I'll post an update.

Finally got those photos ready. The covers are very nice, feels very solid and sturdy. I remember someone in another thread remarking upon the smell - I don't think it's bad at all, I certainly don't notice it unless I get my nose close by, and then it's just a mild leather smell.

The colours are great - the photos on M-Edge's web site display the colous very - probably as well as possible. The cream is a very dark cream, like light putty, and I wouldn't worry much about stains from keeping it in a purse. It has a rather matte finish, and I guess it's because a light colour requires a heavier colouring on leather. The purple is nice, too, a light amythyst, slightly greyer than ideal IMO, but very classy.

The Mighty Bright travel flex (bought from pizzazz in the UK) works fine, though I prefer to clip it onto the top of the cover when reading (if I use it at all). It's only 35 gram, and I like that it's so light.
