I like to read while I eat (when I'm alone) and the Kindle can stand up and be easy to read when in this cover. Also, when sitting reading, it's very easy to hold the Kindle with this cover's nice side room for thumb and forefinger. If there's a hassle, it's with the 'tab' which extends from the bottom for keeping the cover closed. After a while, even that stopped being an issue since I got used to it.

I wanted to protect my Kindle 2 from scratches and dust. I already knew I needed some kind of case, but reading about how people have ruined their Kindle screens by putting the device, unprotected, in a bag with other items removed any inertia I had might have had in getting something ASAP. I'm cheap by nature. I wanted something that would protect the device well, but didn't care so much about looks. This was one of the least expensive cases of the type (as verses the colored sleeves and such that do nothing to protect the screen) and I liked the idea of it serving double duty as a stand.
This case exceeded my expectations. It looks good, if not expensive, and the stand works well. The trick to using the stand feature (there are no instructions) is to take the little strap, and tuck it back into its receiver. This will form a stable A frame that should rest comfortably on any stable flat surface. (If you don't take this extra step of attaching the strap, I can see how it might collapse on a slippery surface.) The strap's simple friction attachment approach is classic old school. It is not quite as quick and convenient as Velcro or a snap, and probably not as secure in rough handling. But I appreciate the very soft interior which should never leave marks on the screen. And the business card pocket (to hold one business card for identification), and elastic pen loop, on the inside of the case are nice touches.
One reviewer mentioned the wide left margin of the cover. I believe it is there for clipping on a reading light. The asymmetry of the case was puzzling at first until I saw a photo somewhere with the book light attached.
Another reviewer mentioned the wimpy elastic tabs for holding the Kindle in place. This is one of the cover's weakest points. Given the friction closure and these light weight straps, I can easily imagine that the Kindle may pop out of the case if dropped hard enough. However be aware that the Kindle 2 does not have any attachment points on the back. If you have a first generation Kindle, you might want to consider instead an older style case that can take advantage of your device's built-in anchors.
All in all, while not as inexpensive as I would have liked, I'm still happy I got it and have to grudgingly admit it really is a fair price for what you're getting.

In decreasing order of importance to me:
I LOVE to read while I eat. Given my wife's and my disparate schedules, I often dine alone for breakfast and lunch. I can flip the cover over, tuck in the strap (optional), and it sets my Kindle 2 up on the table so perfectly, stable, at a nice angle for reading, and doesn't fall over when I push the Next Page and other buttons. It is like having someone hold a paperback for you while you read. Awesome. You can also turn it on its side in this configuration and read on your side in bed, but it isn't as stable that way as it is upright.
It holds the Kindle 2 securely. I haven't dropped it yet, but I doubt that the Kindle 2 would break free, certainly not until the faux leather case had absorbed the vast percentage of the impact.
It is thick enough to make one secure in the padding it provides for the Kindle 2, yet lightweight enough that I can use it anywhere. I thought it was heavy, but then I removed the Kindle 2 and found that the overwhelming majority of the weight I was feeling was the Kindle itself.
It looks good (although I will never understand the appeal of white stitching on dark "leather"), and it feels soft and supple.
I am a very very picky guy, and I can't think of much that I would change. About the only thing I can think of is that, instead of having about 1/2" leather margin left of the Kindle and almost no margin to the right, I would center the Kindle left-to-right with ~1/4" margins. That would make it easier, while holding it underneath, to reach around and press the Next Page buttons. As it is, the right button is easy but the left is nearly impossible. But, again, this is a minor nit.

I had ordered the Amazon Leather cover and this cover for comparison. The Amazon cover arrived about a week ago and works really well. I was actually thinking that when the M-Edge cover arrived I would be returning the Amazon cover. I will be returning this cover and keeping the Amazon cover (both are 29.99). The reasons for returning this cover are:
1. The M-edge cover does not utilize the snap locks on the Kindle, but four little pull over straps on each corner. Thus the system for holding Kindle in the cover is not as secure as the Amazon cover.
2. With the M-edge cover is sold as a platform stand, and on my desk it just slides flat and does not work well. It works OK when the surface is covered with something.
3. Having to tuck the strap in each time you put the kindle away is a hassle.
4. Overall the quality just looks cheap.
I would recommend buying the Amazon 2 Leather cover and skipping this one.
