M-Edge Jacket to be available for Sony Reader in November

Bob Russell · 10-21-2006, 12:22 PM

The new batch of e-ink devices are still so new that there aren't a lot of third party accessories yet. But a new neoprene case for the Sony Reader (PRS-500) will be available in November. The case allows you to read without removing it, and offers additional protection. No indication of whether it needs to be removed to use the docking cradle or now.

From the M-edge web site, "The Sony Reader eMotion Jacket is the ultimate for on the go eBook fanatics... [and] provide superior protection for your Sony Reader... [they] are stylish padded cases that feature a read-through design and clear vinyl screen protection so you never have to remove your Reader to use."

M-edge joined our discussions here with some additional information in response to Stuart Young's discovery of their site.

The primary interest in third party cases for the Sony Reader will probably be due to protection concerns, because the supplied case (and Sony's optional color choices) are quite nice.

Okay, but . . . these aren't very attractive.

Heh. You don't think so?
But the web page says they are stylish!

I agree! I think I'll let someone else be the guinea pig on this one.

You might find you're waiting quite some time.

Think I will stick with the black one that came with the reader for now.

This seems like a great idea to me, and here's why:
Today, I took my new reader to the health club. I put it in a zip-lock bag, and used it for reading while on the elliptical trainer. It was great! no messing with page turning, etc. and I could make the font bigger so I could actually read while on the machine. So, I think this kind of case would make a great replacement for the zip-lock bag!

Bob Russell · 10-23-2006, 03:20 PM

You didn't actually hold it while exercising did you? Or where did you set it, and how did you read? ILm definitely having trouble picturing that, but it's pretty neat if it works for you!

Actually, the trainer had a book-rest/computer readout combination. I've always been frustrated trying to read another book or magazine while doing that, since the type is usually too small, and pages won't stay put, etc. It made the hour go by in a flash!

for myself I would also like a pouch like a neck passport pouch so I could have it hang the reader around my neck and read on some exercise machines and listen to podcasts on others.

Be nice if they would release a cut down version of the eMotion Jacket for the Reader.

Aprilbeginnings · 11-16-2006, 02:58 PM

Sorry I don't think it looks nice either.

I received my M-Edge cover for the Sony Reader today. It fits like a glove and looks great too. I was getting a blister on my thumb from pressing the page turn buttons on the side, but since this cover lays on top of the buttons I will never have this problem again.

Wow, you must read fast!

I like it - fits well, makes it easier to hold IMHO.
