It works if your PW is jailbroken and you have then installed Ixtab's collection manager on it. I did and the plugin works perfectly well then.

My purple case from the OP link has just arrived (10 Dec), I'm in the UK and bought it on 30 November. For just over £10 I think it's great, a big saving on the official cover.

That looks very nice, and a much nicer shade of purple than the official cover (which I have). Mine is way too dark. Hard to tell apart from black, when my readers are stacked up.

and... @Lyn2012: nice photos! Now we know that the purple really is purple. Unlike the Amazon version, which looks like vivid ROYAL purple in the photos and is actually an extremely DARK plum. @Sparklemotion: you're very welcome |

Actually, I like the darker purple better. Not so much red or pinkish purple. Mine from Amazon looks close to the pictures online. Maybe your monitor is a bit too bright or saturated?

I just viewed them from my laptop and the Amazon ones look normal now. Weird. I've seen saturation and hues vary from one display to the next, but it's always affected *all* images, not just certain ones. My guess is that Amazon's images were saved using a different palette than the others (like CMYK instead of RGB) and that those colors just appear brighter on Apple's displays. |

Cover from August compared to Amazon
The cover I ordered just 3 days ago from ebay (post#27, or here) arrived today per usps. They originally said it would be here dec 22-27. So for a speedy delivery. The cover is beautiful, love the color. I made a few pictures with side by side of the official Royal Purple cover. As you can see, the brown cover has a significant smaller footprint (hope it shows enough in the pictures), weighs only 2/3 - the Amazon cover weighs in at approx 150 grams, while the brown one is about 100 grams. Without the device in it, only the Amazon cover shuts correctly, as in the other cover you need to have the PW, as there will be gaps all around sort of. The color I ordered is Coffee, and it is a really nice dark brown, but very far away from beeing black. I am glad I did not order the lighter brown - this one is perfect for me The Amazon one is perfect too, but for my wife.

I actually got two of them...a brown and a black. The black one is fine, but the brown one's lid won't close. The leather hinge is a smidgen too short (narrow?) and it won't allow the lid to go all the way down. It only goes about halfway, sitting at a 45 degree angle! I'm going to see if I can figure out a way to stretch the hinge a little, to see if that'll help. Btw, how is the closure flap on yours? On both of mine, the magnets are so weak that it's like they're not even there. The flap just flops over like a loose piece of leather. There's a hint of magnetism in it, but I could probably blow it open with my breath, lol. Other than that, I love the deep brown color. I went ahead and removed the closure flap from the brown one. I didn't cut the flap, I just used a stitch remover and snipped out the stitches in the back and it came right off. It left a row if tiny holes where the stitches used to be, but it's hardly noticeable. |
