Sell Want a Cover/Case? - Page 2

I actually plan on Neoprene cases in the future. I'll have to look into Sorbothane, I've never heard of that before. Or like you say maybe I'll try using a layer of neoprene on the inside of my current case. I like that idea. It'll make it mostly waterproof. Thanks for the suggestions.

Sorbothane is one of the medical rubbers used to alleviate bed sores. You can find it commercially used all over as shoe insoles, used as wrestling mats, etc. Anywhere that impact needs to be reduced. You can drop a raw egg on a sorbothane mat and it won't crack! I found a zipper case for a notebook computer made from the stuff and snatched it up!

Ok, here's a case for the Ladies. Handmade olive green polyester micro-suede case with embroidered Butterflies. Asking $27.99 plus shipping. Available for both 5" and 6" readers.

Those are pretty! I'm not in the market for a cover right now, I prefer book style, and already have 2 Noreves.

If I were you, I would still do something more feminine, maybe a print with some pinks/purples/blues in it. Keep up the good work, and good luck with your product.

ETA: Have you thought about selling on Etsy? Lots of people seem to do well there with this type of thing.

Thanks for the tips and for pointing me towards Etsy.

I have been looking high and low for a nice cover for my lady's Jetbook Lite and lo, your thread has appeared to assist me.

I have shown Lori the embroidered cover and she really likes it!

Can you adjust the cover to suit a Jetbook Lite's rear battery bulge? If so, I would be most interested.

Cheers and thanks

You have a PM. We seem to like a lot of the same devices. I have a HP/Ipaq 110/111 Classic and a Samsung Omnia i910.

They look very nice, but for 30 bucks the stitching needs to be straight and even... especially on the edges... There's too much variation in the distance from the top on the near edge than on the far edge.

I'm sorry to be so pedantic...

Being pedantic relates to being over formal and over concerned with the minutiae of language and expression (like this post!).

I think you are concerned with the quality of a product - about which I'm not sure it's possible to be "over concerned".

Thanks and replied.

Both are good devices, though the Omnia is being retired later this year for a iPhone. I use Mobilpocket on the Omnia and Freda/Mobipocket on the IPAQ.

The IPAQ was my mainstay reader before I got my PRS-300. I use it mainly for holidays away now.

I agree! Something I'm refining the designs to improve. New cases are better.

My OEM Sony Reader 505 cover clip is about broke so when it does I'll need a new cover but I'd only be interested in something in a book form (zippered is ok). Have you thought about doing a book style version with the elastic corners like the others do?

briwayjones · 07-13-2010, 11:42 AM

I have thought about book form and is something I'm experimenting with.

Just received the butterfly cover today for my wife's JBL.

I must say we are both very pleased and impressed with the slip cover.

Highly recommended

Those are gorgeous - feminine but not excessively girly (much better than bright pink)! And the colour would look great with my green canvas Healthy Back Bag

I'm planning on buying a BeBook Neo as soon as I get paid - if I order a case from you now, how soon would it reach the UK? And what would the total cost be?
