M-Edge makes some great cases. I have seen their Kindle cases up-close and have been rather impressed with the design, materials and quality. Now they are jumping into the iPad ring with a host of different designs. As expected they look great. What is particularly striking is that if you go to the M-Edge web site you will see all of the other devices they support. ALL OF THEM ARE EBOOK READERS. Even as people debate whether or not the iPad is in direct competition with dedicated eReader like the Kindle and the nook it is clear that accessory companies like M-Edge sure see them swimming in the same pond.

Among the more interesting cases M-Edge has on the way are the Flip Jacket that “flips open vertically and utilizes a four-point mounting system to secure the device”, the Executive Jacket which “includes a fashionable and smart wraparound closure strap and utilizes a four point mounting system for exceptional device security” and the Platform Jacket which “employs an easel-style design that allows for hands-free usability”.

In all M-Edge has announced 13 different iPad carrying solutions. We look forward to reviewing many of them starting on April 3rd. Images and the full release follow.
