I went looking for a case today, and yes, nearly all of them are overpriced.

I like the looks of the M-Edge Latitude and upon first glance, you'd think it'd be a lot cheaper than a leather Amazon cover. The fact that $35 is the going rate for a piece of nylon is a load of crap. There are thousands of products made from the same materials that have been a fraction of the cost for years.

By the looks of it, the Oberon and Amazon covers are really the only ones that seem worth the price. I was so turned off by the $35 nylon M-Edge, that I'd probably just avoid the brand completely, no matter how much I might like the looks.
