I've accomplished nothing for 2 days except get more and more frustrated looking for a case for the Voyage that will be mine come Christmas! I've been using a real leather Octovo case on a Kindle Keyboard - love that case - wish it would fit the Voyage. It has everything I want in a case. It's real leather (those over-priced and (to me) obnoxiously shaped origami cases by Amazon are NOT real leather except for the expensive limited edition one). It has a magnetic wake/sleep as well as a stretchy band closure for extra security. It has a pocket on the inside of the front cover that I can slip my hand into that makes holding it one handed easier. I don't know if Octovo will be making cases for the Voyage.

An Oberon would fit the bill, I think, except they're using an older model with the magnet moved. To those who talked to Oberon - are they going to actually make a case specifically to fit the Voyage, or just re-doing their web page to show better pics?
I'm tempted, at this point, even though they are oversized for the Voyage. At least I know my Voyage would be protected. In one of the oversized Oberon covers, are all the things one needs to access possible except for the rear off/on button? How is the Voyage held in the Oberon cover? Are they putting wool on the inside front cover still?

I had an Oberon for my Kindle DX for a while, but it had the wool felt on the inside and I'm very allergic to wool, so I sold it and bought a Noreve instead. I should remember how the DX was held in the Oberon cover, but I don't, and I can't tell from the pics a few pages back.

Does anyone know of one of the currently offered cheap cases that has a pocket or strap on the inside cover to hold onto? I can't even find that.

Like I said . . . I'm frustrated beyond words. I don't want to read a nekkid Voyage - with my luck, that would be the first time I ever dropped a Kindle. Any suggestions for a cheapie with a pocket on the inside cover would be great, and so would answers to what I asked about the Oberon cover.

When I say I'm frustrated, I don't mean just a little bit frustrated - I mean I'm to the point of wanting to throw things or scream (neither of which would help in the least).
