Dooney & Bourke Leather Case- Opinions Please!

MarciaCat · 01-25-2008, 02:09 AM

Does anyone here have the D & B leather case? Or has anyone seen and handled it. How is it protection-wise & what does it look like opened up? (Anyone have pics of it open?)

If you own it are you happy with it. I like the looks of it and I'm tempted, but would love to hear other opinions.

One more question, which color would be best with my dark blue 505?

I look forward to hearing your opinions!

There were lots of pictures and opinions when the Valentine edition of Sony PRS 500 came out last year.

Some photos of the previous one.

I did look at the pics of last years. What I really want to know is what does it look like inside, how does it "feel" in use. I was hoping someone had seen this one in person. Also, is it available in the Sony stores or online only?

I just ordered the DB cover off of SonyStyle. I'll let you know how it works out. I am such a pushover for this type of thing!

I look forward to hearing your opinion! (and pictures?) Which color did you order?

Nytngale · 01-30-2008, 11:05 PM

I ordered the brown/burgundy-ish color. I hope it looks as good as on the website.

MarciaCat · 01-30-2008, 11:10 PM

That's the one I'm interested in; I think it would look real nice on my navy blue Reader!!

Nytngale · 01-30-2008, 11:17 PM

Agree - I have the blue reader too. My cover shipped today - looking forward to having it soon - hopefully by Friday.

I ordered the Black D&B cover for the wife as a valentines day gift and it arrived yesterday. Very nice case. I just wish there were an option as nice for my Kindle. Very solid construction, excellent stitching, everything I have come to expect from the D&B name.

Hi all, I received my D&B cover today in the mail. The package was HUGE for such a little product. It came in a pretty kewel silver tin box that will be useful in the future to store stuff - it's pretty big. When I finally got through the maze of packaging and got to the cover, I was a little underwhelmed. It is definitely good looking. It's made...... tada - in China (what the hell isn't these days). I put it side by side with the stock brown cover that came with my 505 and there is not much difference in the quality except that it looks nicer. I don't think it was worth the $149 but what-the-hey. I make a good income, I have no rug-rats, I'm getting OLD, and I've got to spend my money somehow
