As long as it's not those cover makers! The waters outside Saint Tropez are very nice

Yeah, but scaring off dates it the reason I can actually *AFFFORD* the Patina cover version, because I don't have to pay for 237 pairs of shoes, 86 purses, and 50 handbags

That patina version cover is not good value for money, economically speaking.

Maybe I should get it just because everybody else in this thread will be jealous forever and ever. Maybe that would make it worthwhile

Nope I won't and FYI I paid for my stuff all alone. Even the jewelry. To make sure mine is as big as a rappers.

Well, it was worth a shot. He is a lot younger than I am and seriously nearsighted to not see my wrinkles

I take offense at this! I have 3 pair of shoes, 0 purses and 0 handbags (the shoes are daily shoes, walking shoes and mountain shoes), not counting the slippers and sandals.

I generally also don't go for fancy and expensive covers, but there's something about real leather that I just can't withstand...

I ordered one of those at the 1st, it should be here next week. I was fully prepaired to leave it at that, but the lure of a soft velvety leather and a cushioned back was too much for me.

When I initially got the reader I thought for a brief moment it would be perfect if it had a padded leather cover. This is why I put an email alert on the Noreve site. If they hadn't offered a cover for the KA1, I would have been perfectly happy with a PU cover. But since they did... well, sigh.

I am weak and I know it

Maybe you're the exception...

The cheap cover that just got posted doesn't have any magnets either. It's tempting, but the quality is unkown. My current €10 cover for the KPW1 also had like 4 or 5 predecessors that I didn't like, but weren't expensive enough to return. So, that cover effectively also cost around €50 or so.

I know, I know... that is exactly what I am afraid can happened I have many covers for my phone too, no one is perfect from that bundle... And of course real leather is verrry tempting.

I've just ordered the cover in Patina style because of the 20% off coupon.

Spoiler:

And then I saw I misclicked in the selection menu and I seem to have ordered the black smooth leather one with black lining. Ah well, it'll have to do

The black must be the force of habit. I *never* get any bags, covers, wallets, or devices in a color other than black.

That line still gave you a heart attack, didn't it?

I don't know why, but things such as covers, bags, wallets, and devices must be black, and have no (color) accents whatsoever. While I can appreciate the Norève logo/pin on the outisde, it actually took an effort to order the cover because the Norève name is stamped on/into the lining of the book flap... yeah, call me weird.

I dislike obvious branding. I just hope it isn't too noticable, as the lining is black, and if the name is stamped in, there won't be any shadows to make the name stand out. It's actually the reason why I didn't order a grey lining.

Perhaps. I go exactly to the other side: lot of color, at shoes, bags, wallets, covers, devices (my pink 350 with pink cover).
