Apparently they need special very expensive equipment to make these to fit different devices. They are a very small, family owned company and had to make sure there was enough demand before deciding to make covers and/or sleeves for them. This info comes from the Oberon representative on their Facebook page. So even though each order is made for you and they don't keep inventory, there is still a lot of work to design a new cover and get the right machinery to do it. I, for one, am thrilled as I've been badgering them since I pre-ordered my STR the day after they announced them. I have a sleeve and a cover for my Kindle 3 and bought covers for both of my daughters for their Nook 1e's and the quality and beauty of Oberon covers and sleeves is amazing.
