Unfortunately:

No shipping to Europe available? Any particular reason?

We have just started shipping our products to Europe and are just awaiting stock for the Vintage cover to be placed into the warehouse we use for shipment to Europe. I will let you know as soon as stock goes in there. Sincere apologies for the inconvenience. Best, OCTOVO

Just got my Octo case today, and it's just as good as I hoped it would be. The vintage look and feel of the leather is just perfect, and very "manly", which is exactly what I had been looking for. I work with a bunch of hardened Alaskan fellows, and the only thing they've ever used a book for is to wedge under a wobbly table - so I already get quite a few snickers simply for owning a Kindle in the first place. I think with this I'll earn a few 'guy points' back in my favor.

Just an FYI though for anyone who may plan on buying this case in the future: the photos of this cover from the 1st post are outdated, and the cover is no longer that exact style. The leather 'threading' on the spine is no longer a feature, and the leather thong that was used to tie the cover closed is no longer a feature either.

The photos on the Amazon sales page depict this, but I had been so used to the photos from this thread that I had been expecting the old style when I opened the box. Not that I'm disappointed, but I'd love the chance to own the old style as well (in case anyone wants to sell it someday lol).

That's too bad Exer, I think I like the old style much better!

rambo47 · 01-09-2010, 12:49 AM

Damn. I really wanted that older look. The new version is still pretty nice, but it doesn't have the charm of the old style. I especially liked the juxtaposition of the ancient leather circa the 1500's or so with the modern and sleek tech of the e-book reader. Maybe I'll just stick with my M-Edge Go case now.

Yea, I agree, I think the older Octo is a hit compared to the new releases.

Can someone post real life pics of the newer version of the Octo vintage case?

Matches Malone · 02-09-2010, 08:17 PM

I just received the revised version of the Octo vintage case. Looks and feels great. Cover folds all the way back easily. I use a mighty bright light attached to the cover with no problems. Here are some pics I took.

jeremy81 · 02-12-2010, 08:48 PM

I was set to order it until I saw the design change. The new one doesn't even compare.

911jason · 02-12-2010, 09:00 PM

Yeah, I have to agree... I ended up buying an Oberon...

FYI, I just put my Kindle 2 up for sale on the Flea Market forum. It includes the old style Octo Vintage cover. I initially did not care for the look of the "leather thong", but I found it to be very useful at keeping my Kindle secure. I just wish Octo would hurry up with the release of the Vintage cover for the iPad! It has been the best case I ever owned for any of my electronics.
Cheers, Joe Mac
