Accessories New Leather Kindle Covers from Oberon - Page 3

I would get an oberon if they offered the hinge system. I think the corners are ugly.

pippin65 · 02-27-2009, 02:44 PM

decided to cancel my oberon order... I am impressed with the standard cover from amz and love the attachment system.

As I noted on my post on the Leonardo cover I made, unless Amazon is not making the new hinge attachment on its Kindle 2 cover available to aftermarket manufacturers, there's no reason for any of those manufacturers to use other mounting solutions. Amazon's hinge attachment is simple, reliable, and aesthetically far more pleasing than Velcro and the standard corner pieces. The new hinge attachment, which was designed specifically to work with the Kindle 2, is a brilliant solution, very easy to use, and it works. Why settle for anything less?

It looks like M-edge's new Prodigy covers will be using the new K2 hinge attachment system.

Hinge or no hinge I am still in love with my Oberon. Of course, I have an original Kindle but I think that even if I had a K2 I'd have an Oberon. I've already got my eye on another design but can't justify having 2 covers for one Kindle. The workmanship is just incredible and the leather feels so good in the hand.

My husband got me a Celtic Oak (with corners) for Valentines Day. I love it. I get more comments on the cover than the Kindle!

Yay! My cover has been shipped and according to UPS should arrive next Thursday.

TallMomof2 · 03-13-2009, 09:14 PM

Mine's shipped, too but I'm torn because of the DMCA dust up I'm seriously considering returning my Kindle 2.

I found that thread shortly after I asked. I glanced through and think I have the gist of it. Maybe.

My cover arrived yesterday and it's beautiful. I ordered the Saddle "Roof of Heaven". Almost ordered the purple but I really like the saddle.
