TallMom, could you possibly post a photo of it? I ordered the Roof of Heaven in purple, and he will be here Monday ... but I am pining to see a photo IRL before then ... sigh.

Many thanks -

I'm selling the red River Garden K2 cover in the Flea Market section of this board. I posted pictures in the thread. It's not used, it's brand new!

Does it have corners or velcro?

Never mind, it's for a K2. I should have looked first ;o(

Just received the following in the mail from Oberon:

Quote:

Dear Oberon Design Customer,
It's come to our attention that the rivet heads on our Kindle 2 covers that hold our corner straps down may mark the back of your Kindle 2. Of the hundres of Kindle 2 covers shipped in the last several weeks, we have heard from two customers with questions on this potential problem. Enclosed you will find two felt 'dot pads' with adhesive backing which we are now appling to all our K2 covers. Simply peel the backing off and adhere the dots t the rivets heads on your corner straps and press down for a secure connection. This will protect your Kindle backside. Thanks for supporting Oberon Design and we hope you are enjoying your Kindle and your Oberon cover! All the best to you,
The Oberon Team

Now, this is what I call customer service! Not only have they acknowledged a problem after only two complaints, they have fixed it and have sent a fix out to everyone that ordered from them, even though I had no idea that there was even an issue and my Kindle isn't scratched in any way! Would love to see more companies doing this sort of stuff.

Did you try this and covert it to a Kindle cover? Is this what you guys are talking about?

I wonder how long it will take for them to get covers out for the newest release? anyone know what the lag time was for 2?

pboss · 05-06-2009, 10:22 PM

I guess they will arrive at once.

It took a while because they had to get hold of a K2 before they could make their covers (they are not an "official" cover maker like M-Edge or Cole Hahn).

There are folks a Kindleboards who are in regular contact with Oberon so posting over their might provide a better time line.

krisk · 05-07-2009, 12:04 PM

ah ok, thanks!

JSWolf · 05-07-2009, 12:12 PM

So how much would a DX cover from Oberon go for?

krisk · 05-07-2009, 03:02 PM

look at their website and see what approximates the size. you'd have to get them to make one first of course!

They received their K2 on the first day it was available to the general public, and the K2 covers started shipping a little over 3 weeks later, if I'm recalling correctly. The backlog from the preorders was cleared by the end of March, so the turnaround was pretty decent.

However, I have no idea if there are plans to do a DX cover; I would imagine that it will have a lot to do with demand. Might be worth emailing them to ask.

If someone wanted to do their own, Oberon's large journal cover is designed to hold an 8 1/2" x 11" journal, so the DX should fit. I'd probably use industrial strength velcro to hold the device in if I went that route.

I like their craftsmanship and prefer the corner tabs over velcro. if I get the larger reader (I will at some point, it's just a matter of when), I'll wait for them to make one.
