For Anyone with the Gecko Luxe - can you fold it all the way back round so you can read one handed? Is it comfortable like this? how about with the non-luxe version?

Mr Fujisawa - See my earlier post #157 about my blue one. It does indeed fold back nicely, and I'm quite delighted with mine.

After looking through all the links to different covers/cases for the T1 I think I've found one I really like at M-Edge, the grey felt Holmes style. It isn't listed as T1 compatible like the similar Bennett so I contacted them about it and they e-mailed me within minutes to say that it had been fit-checked and was compatible with the T1. I really wanted a cover that had a light and this will work out great with their e-Luminator that's 50% off with purchase of a compatible cover. In addition, I found the M-Edge Pays To Share offer that will get me an additional 20% off which takes the total down to just the price of the cover!
I think this will look really nice on my red T1. I've been making do with storing it in the Oberon cover for my 505 which protects it fine on my nightstand but doesn't hold it secure enough while in use; I've tried reading on my T1 without a cover but it just isn't comfortable for me.

I've got the Go cover by M edge. I love the way it feels. Yes, at the bottom, it slightly covers the silver buttons on each side, and getting to the on/off button is a little harder. But it is worth it for me for the way it feels compared to the original cover and being able to use the M edge lights. LOVE the lights!!

I love my Gecko Luxe for my T1. So much so, that I ordered one for my GF's Kobo Touch.
Hugely disappointed in the Kobo iteration. It was like it came from a different factory. No flap to secure the reader inside the cover, as with the Sony, no pockets on the left, and worst of all, the "cutout" (the opening for the screen) was rough, with rough edges that I had to clean up with an X-Acto knife. |

All in all, I think it was a good value, the cover is very well made, the stitching is nice and straight (a pet peeve of mine! ) The one thing that would make it perfect would be if the strap could be used over the light when not in use to keep it in place, otherwise it's perfect. As requested, here are a few pics- - |

m-edge
I got the m-edge hard case with zip for my T1. If I recall I got it at Currys of Oxford Street in London - I had my T1 with me and tried a few of them - didn't want to have a suprise ordering an unseen one from the web. It just fits it and if it had one mm more it would be easier to reach the on-off-stdby button but it nearly perfect and I wouldn't change it as I am very happy with it. Well protective when closed and easy to handle while reading.

Yep, perfect fit as it cover part of the power button and the buttons on the left and right sides.
As for the light, I much prefer Sony's way of putting the light inside the cover instead of outside the cover. |

For me the lack of a strap or something to hold the cover closed and the price were the biggest drawback to the Sony cover. If they go to half price I might consider getting one though! One peeve with the light though (and I'm sure it the same for other lights as well) is the glare off the glossy part of the Reader. In natural light the red is fine, but angle the light wrong and it's very distracting! I may have to bite the bullet and get a DecalGirl matte skin. |

I do happen to like the light cover for the T1 that Sony sells.
