Thank you Robert B! I went ahead and bookmarked the new site for when it becomes active. The next few weeks are going to creep by.
I generally like cases that protect the edges of my devices (mp3 players, cell phone, camera, GPS, whatever) as well as the screen. That way when I put them into my purse/backpack nothing can slide up between the cover and the screen to scratch it. Or damage an SD card slot or headphone jack (ie bobby pin or paper clip). It doesn't need a zipper, since a nice wrap-around effect generally does the job well enough. I'm not taking it hiking to the hinterlands so water and everything else proof isn't what I looking for since I want the device readily accessible. But bags used daily do acquire a certain amount of "stuff" in the bottoms that creeps into non-protected contents.
Perhaps unlike some of the female market you are trying to reach I am not looking for fashionable so much as practical though sleek is nice, too. And cost efficient over everything - microfiber may not be as elegent as leather, but it is generally less costly and comes in many interesting colors and textures that look "right" to my sensibilities no matter what design is on them. I always have trouble picturing the cow where they got the pink leather...
