I ordered a K2 cover (Dragonfly Pond in Sky Blue) without the wool lining (thanks also for the heads up on the lining's cat hair-attracting qualities) and should have received it this week. UPS misdelivered it, and it is apparently lost  . The new cover should be done this week, and I have chosen to have the USPS deliver it. If I hadn't impatiently opted for the 'faster' UPS delivery option, I'd be enjoying it now. (I suppose I just wanted to complain a little because I don't have it yet.)
Oberon's CS department was great when I called asking questions, and when I let them know that my shipment was lost. The employee to whom I spoke was consistently helpful and informative. (Thanks, Eileen!) I'll edit to add reactions to my cover when it arrives, but I'm certain I'll love it as much as Bookworm_Girl and jackinca do theirs.
ETA: My Oberon cover has arrived, and I love it. As mentioned above, I ordered it without the wool lining, so the lining/interior of the left side (when open) is a solid piece of black leather, with a small pocket. (I wasn't sure how it would look without the wool.) Bookworm_Girl and jackinca have covered everything else, I think.
Bookworm_Girl and jackinca, do you each leave your reader in the cover all the time? If you take it out, has that affected the tightness of the straps? If the straps do loosen, I imagine I can add small pads of felt or velcro as shims. Also, I hope I don't immediately yield to temptation and order a custom skin that better matches the cover! |
I leave my 950 in the cover most of the time and I have not noticed any loosening of the upper left leather strap. Loosening may occur over a long period of time, but the strap is so secure I do not believe it would be a problem. The Oberon cover is very protective and they are a wonderful company.
