Didn't have time to check it out on the site, but can they ship to Europe?

Picture time.
Observations:
(note, mostly focusing on the negatives, I'd still say it's a very nice case for $20 and much better than the pictures I've seen of the white irex one) |

Is it better to access the switch if you flip the cover 180 degrees so the large straps are up top and the cover opens to the right? I think the big space is account for the optional light. Pretty rotten to have the reader even wider. |

The main issues are the price and maybe white colour is easy to get dirt. |

The last picture shows the switch when the reader is flipped 180°. It is quite accessible that way. I realized just after posting why there was the big gap, since I also ordered the light but hadn't opened it yet... three more pics showing the light installed and the light on high and low settings in a dark room... The hot spot in the pictures isn't really noticeable when actually looking at it.

Rotating the case by 180 degree seems to "solve" the "switch access" problem, but feels weird since you have to open the case the other way. I am wondering why M-Edge doesn't swap the upper straps with the lower ones.

I was wondering that too. It looks like the widest strap is on the exact corner that you wouldn't want it.

Thanks for the pics Mr X. I would be ordering one today, despite the faff caused by having the widest strap exactly where you don't want it. My only problem is the psychological barrier of paying more for shipping to get it to Europe than for the product itself!
