Made a fancy new "old style" ebook sleepcover

foxy1604 · 08-03-2015, 07:27 PM

Hi all!!

Since my last cover got shredded to pieces by a storm last week I thought it was time for a fancy new "in a old bookish style" cover!

So, after learning lot's from the old one (like thickness, weight and feels), I made this!

Spoiler:

I choose leather for a nice and smooth feeling and also added a little but powerful magnet for the sleep function. ^^"

So, what do you all think?

Your photos are really hard to see because they're way too big.

How much does it weigh?

The images will be deleted once a mod sees them, I suggest you resize them to around 800 pixel width and crop off the extra height that isn't the cover itself and upload them within the forum post so the thumbnails will be visible. You'll be able to go with larger sizes, but there are still limitations, so be sure you read what they are and resize the images before uploading them.

Beautiful. Like meeera, I'd also like to know the weight.

Ehm... oopsy lemme fix that issue right now!! 0.O"

*A few minutes later*

Okay! fixed it!!

The weight is feeling-wise lighter then you would expect it because I've cut a hole in almost all of the pages to get the reader to fit.
And if you would put it on a scale it measures 426 grams (182 for the cover alone and the rest for the reader (that thing is heavy!!!))

Looks great! Good job!

thanks!! I just added a fancy gold painted quote on the back for just that little bit of extra ;3

doubleshuffle · 08-06-2015, 02:27 PM

Neat idea. Did you glue all the pages together?

Noice!

It looks pretty good. A little rough on the edges when it comes to the stack of papers though
