Oberon Journal with the Inside of the Amazon Hinge Cover Inserted!

I posted this on the KB board. But I also wanted to post it here since the original idea of working around covers we like that does not implement the Amazon K2 hinge mechanism came from here.

I just got my Oberon K2 Cover and Oberon Journal. I took apart the Amazon cover and insert the inside of Amazon Hinge cover inside the journal. First of all, I think the journal is a quarter of an inch wider then the K2 cover eventhough it stated on the Oberon site that both are 6 inches wide, the journal is half an inch longer then the K2 cover. The journal is no thicker then the K2 cover with the inner hinge inserted. I took a picture of the K2 & journal together side by side and the K2 is actually a little thicker. There are 2 pictures of the Amazon cover when I took it apart. The journal with the inner of the Amazon cover does fold back. If one so choose, you can glue the middle of the cover to the journal, that's right, you can easily glue the inner binding of the Amazon hinge cover to the binding of the Journal. I believe you can get that special fabric glue from a fabric store call Liquid Stitch. I decided not to glue it together because I will have multiple journals and I can just swap the inner hinge piece without having to buy another Amazon cover. It stays put without having to glue it. Like I said, the journal is a little wider and a half an inch longer then the K2 cover but not thicker even with the inside of the Amazon hinge cover inserted inside of it. If you really like the Amazon hinge system and Oberon, and you don't mind the extra length then this is a perfect solution!
