Deluxe Cover - Warning
Please be aware that there is a bit of a design flaw with the Deluxe Cover that may "catch" you out.
I have had an Iliad for about a year and it is well used. Given the cost of it I also got the most expensive cover as had seen the various posts about screen damage.
You can therefore imagine my horror when a small blister appeared about half way up the screen just under the right hand edge. About 4mm long it was seemingly a random occurence of what I naturally reasoned was a defect in the screen. I was about to start sobbing uncontrollably when I moved the Illiad and the cover closed and the culprit was revealed...the idiotically designed catch for the cover has a popper stud. As the case gets used this tends to stay fixed in a folded over position with the stud coming to rest about half way up the screen just under the right hand edge. Closing the cover causes the reinforced (and therefore quite heavy front cover to push the popper down onto the screen...repeat a couple of times a week for a few months and low and behold you will have your very own pressure damaged screen.
I am absolutely furious. A screen that is sensitive to knocks has a protective cover with a built in hammer and nail.
I await iRex's views on my liability for screen repair...
More to come I am sure
Will
