I have one in my cart.......

Nytngale · 02-05-2008, 11:13 PM

Oh by the way.. forgot to mention that it also looks great with my Brahmin business tote too!!

Nytngale · 02-05-2008, 11:14 PM

Glad someone got it at a better price!

MarciaCat · 02-05-2008, 11:19 PM

Ooohhhh... I've got a nice Brahmin bag it would go with too!!

Which shipping method did you choose? The 'Regular Ground' or 'Economy Ground'?

Nytngale · 02-05-2008, 11:22 PM

I did the cheapest mode. Actually got it pretty fast.

Nytngale · 02-05-2008, 11:23 PM

PS: Sounds like we need to start a high-end bags and readers forum!!

MarciaCat · 02-05-2008, 11:25 PM

Both choices are part of their free shipping offer. Regular is FedEx, economy is the Post Office.

Nytngale · 02-05-2008, 11:27 PM

Mine came Fed Ex

Hmmm.......Different covers to go with different handbags!!

I don't want to think about that right now -- my wallet might rebel!!

Nytngale,

Thanks for the description and pictures. Not too tempted now. I don't care for the M-Edge either. I guess I'll stick with the pleather.

I bit the bullet and ordered the red one.

Rep-PJPL · 02-06-2008, 09:38 PM

I got a silver reader just after Christmas. My wife got the blue one. We both LOVE them and think these were the best purchases made in years. I did not particularly like the pleather cases - and so I surprised my wife by purchasing a D&B cover for each of us (for Valentine's Day). These just arrived.

My initial reaction - huge package, large silver tins, and $149 each for leather products stamped "made in China". The D&B embossed name doesn't come cheap. And I'd prefer no key chain and a lower price. I doubt I will ever use the key chain.

However, these cases are beautiful and, I believe, well worth the price given how much they enhance the look and feel of what are already beautifully designed products. The leather and stitching are very nice D&B/Coach quality. The black (which is all black) with the silver really looks great. The red (which is very red, not brownish) looks great with the blue (though the inside is brown, not red, if this is an issue for you). These covers look like they will become more beautiful with age and use - and will get the patina of a fine leather bound book.

Really, that's what makes this worth the money. The covers give the readers more substance/refinement and make them feel like a cherished volume. They are more comfortable to hold than the pleather. My wife said that she has already gotten several comments about her reader - more so than with the old cover - if this matters.

MarciaCat · 02-07-2008, 12:24 AM

Would you believe my D&B cover will be here tomorrow?!

I just got my FedEx tracking info; apparently it's shipping from San Diego to me here in......you guessed it- San Diego!!
