You make this sound like rocket science. Covers have been made for Cybook before, the specs are readily available. The only thing that is different on the new covers is the color, the front cutout which is now simpler and possibly some side cutouts for buttons. The basic design is the same.

But anyway, I might be wrong, I might be overreacting. When I get the cybook I will probably forget about this anyway.
