M-Edge Announces Kindle Fire Accessories

By Lisa Johnston -- TWICE, 9/30/2011

Odenton, Md. - Whether or not the Kindle Fire will be a hit remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Accessories manufacturers will scramble to outfit the new devices in a variety of protective cases and coverings.


Cases that will be available include the company's Latitude, Trip and Go! jackets.

The Latitude, made of ballistic nylon, features a double zip-around closure and an exterior zipper pocket.

The Trip has a canvas exterior with a elastic strap, while the Go! is said to be M-Edge's most compact and lightweight.

Kindle Fire users will be able to choose from the company's Incline jacket, Hampton jackets and Pop sleeve.  They will also be able to take advantage of M-Edge's Style Library and Design Your Own applications for all of the new Kindles, allowing them to customize covers.

Most of the products are scheduled to be available at the end of October, marketing VP Devon Mish told TWICE, with some of the sleeves already available. Pricing is still being finalized but will likely be in the $24 to $45 range, she said.
