Harry, haven't received my case as it didn't ship with original order and I'm a bit miffed. Don't mind me.
With regard to Bookeen being unaware and consequently not at fault doesn't wash with me though as they are ultimately responsible for their product. They would have been shipped numerous samples early on and would have requested and received the materials (leather, to match their florid description) from the out-sourced company
at the design stage, so, to turn around and feign surprise and indignation at the materials used
once they are being shipped is not exactly fair to our sensibilities.. unless they all collectively boxed and shipped the cases with their eyes closed
Having said all that (and please bear in mind I am having a bad day at work

) I love my CyBook e-reader and cannot wait for it to get the protection it deserves.
