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.
All good information to know. I have been sending them emails since the STR was announced. So, I guess I have to buy a case now no matter what. :-)
