I'm a beta tester as well, and just received my cover yesterday.

I too was originally disappointed, like many here, to read about the size of the case. But after having had the chance to hold and use the Oberon cover, it is really growing on me, to the point where I almost wouldn't want it to be smaller than it is.

I love the fact that I can use my Sony cover with it instead of the included Velcro. This makes it really easy to pop the reader out of the case and use it naked when I want. I actually enjoy reading the Sony without a cover, so the Oberon can function as a protective case when I'm in transit, and then I can remove it to read. It's still pretty comfortable to read with the case on, although it doesn't fold back when using the Sony cover with it.

Without doubt, this is an extremely well crafted case. Design choices aside, the quality of this thing is absolutely astounding! It looks, and feels extremely expensive and there is not one thing that I can find fault with in the workmanship. If the rest of their line is of the same quality (which I assume it would be), I would not hesitate ordering any product from Oberon.

Would I pay for it if I weren't a beta tester? Without question! In fact, I think I may pick up some other stuff from Oberon since I did get this for free (well Canada customs nicked me for $17, but what that's a small price to pay for this cover).
