i believe I picked up this URL from the iRex forum: http://www.thepouch.com/iliad.html

You can't buy one via their site yet. When I called the young lady answering the phone is without a classical education. Not only did she not know what an iRex iLiad was, or an ebook reader, she had never hard of The Iliad, nor of Homer. It was a bit of a fluster to place what I'm thinking may have been their first order for this product. :)

The slipcase and iLiad may arrive at roughly the same time. Update when I get both together in the same room.

Total cost for a red slipcase was $39 USD.

Nope. Must have been something else. 'Cause I put in my order for one last night. 8-)

So you must have gotten Bob then. :-)

She seemed confident everything would be fine if she could just find Bob...

These look nice - I wonder how thick the neoprene is. Can you post your impressions when it arrives? I bought the Lightwedge case (see here (http://web.mac.com/oliverbogler/iWeb/iLiadfan/Home/1B4263F8-4629-4B93-8CA8-38AC200616BC.html) and it is neoprene-like. It is not as thick as neoprene cases I have had in the past (from bodyglove), but then again it was only $8.

I guess if this case is much thicker, I might be enticed to upgrade!

What is the appropriate cost ratio of content to case? :blink:
100:1 = Lightwedge case
20:1 = Pouch slipcase

:D
