One told me the covers were sold out very quickly, and the other simply has not gotten any cover for T-1 yet. It seems that there are still many T-1 owners who would like to buy the cover in a real store , like me, and Gecko doesn't produce and deliver the covers fast enough. Or maybe I'm just not patient enough.  |
Sorry folks, I got distracted... My Gecko Luxe arrived early this past week, about one week for shipping into Canada. It came in the post, looking like a fat envelope, and no extra charges.
It feels like soft leather on the outside, the inside feels like soft suede; it's really comfortable to hold. The cover folds back easily and gets out of the way. There are two pockets that could hold flat things like microSD cards or credit cards.
The reader is held in very securely by a flap that folds underneath the reader at the crease, and is held there by a VelcroŽ patch.
It's much less expensive than the Sony covers and much more attractive, in my opinion.
