Folding Back Leather Covers - Page 2

Snassek · 02-27-2007, 07:26 PM

Can you post a picture of the cover folded back?

Aprilbeginnings · 02-27-2007, 07:41 PM

Well I like it and will probably be ordering one when the RED is available. It looks pretty nice to me and if I don't like it, well it will go back. But I don't think that will be the case.

Again thanks for posting this and warning us about the toggle when slipping that puppy inside the holder.

Can you use cradle with this cover?

Nope. You have to remove the Reader from the cover, although that is easy to do as long as you are careful with the joystick/button as mentioned above. The cover is padded so just a bit "Poofy".

I think that little strap hanging out there might be annoying, especially since the page turn buttons are on the otherside you have to use one hand to turn pages and the other to hold the strap. I assume it needs a strap because there are not magnets in the cover like the Sony ones?

Thanks! One more question, is it possible to flatten it out a bit? Not by creasing the middle, but by offsetting the front and back covers. I am not asking you to do it or take pictures, just wondering since a lot of times when I read, I am in bed and on my stomach and just let the reader lay on the bed.

Like:

Code:

Instead of:

Code:

That is the best I can do at ascii art.

Not half bad, Snassek, even especially for ASCII art -- gets the point across nicely.

Yes, that works. It takes a bit more force to hold it flat that way but that might improve as the leather breaks in. It is maybe 1/2 as thick in that configuration.

What the case needs is a little slit on the right side of the case -- right underneath the back side the Reader -- and then just slip it in. It doesn't have to go all the way in, just enough so there's no dangle in the dingle, if you know what I mean.

With a slit such as this, the integrity of the design would not be compromised, and the Reader would still be secure.

I like the look of this case. Now, if they'll just get some color choices available, there might be more sold.

Don, They are working on RED and BROWN from what I was told and perhaps they will be available hopefully in March.

Snassek · 02-28-2007, 07:54 PM

I am also waiting on a different color and maybe by then, some that currently have them will have them broken in and can give more opinions. Since I read with the cover flipped back, I don't think the dangly thing will be a big deal, I figure it should still slip right into the same slit when it is flipped around.

Yes, it will. It takes a small amount of threading it into the slot but that does work and also helps to stabilize the "sag" a bit.

FYI, my M-Edge Leather cover now lies flat after 8 days of folding it back. I tuck that annoying strap in between the two covers while folded back to keep it out of the way. I haven't noticed any creases forming. This leather is pretty soft.
Thx, Joe Mac

Agreed, I have had mine about 3 weeks now and have taken it on an airline trip and it is very nice so far.
