I like the double clicks that B&N products has to set the Nook in place, but how does it hold up? I'd get one of the leather ones, not a fan of synthetic leather.

By the way, have not gotten a Nook. Still waiting for my friend to get to the US first.

p/s: if anyone knows about a case that you can slot the Nook into without covering the charging and SD-card ports (like Prie's Tunewear for iPod), please PM me! I saw one on Etsy (I think) a few days ago, but I did not bookmark it and I'd really like that. Thanks!

The elastic band is not a problem. My wife has the case for the nook 1st edition and the band is in there good. Plus thye give you extra elastic band when you buy the case.

I have two Oberon Covers for my Kindle. The elastic band works fine. I have the small sleeve for my K3 which works great.

I've been waiting for Oberon support before buying an STR. Nicest cover I've ever owned.

I have an Oberon for the Nook Color. Only one of the straps is elastic, the other three are leather. The NC fits snugly and hasn't escaped yet. Plus Oberon shipped me a spare elastic strap.

They are fantastic covers. Very sturdy- I have had(and have)many ereaders, and haven't had a broken one yet.

Those Oberon cases really get the job done.

So, now I have to ask. Where did you hear they were going to make this cover? I don't see anything on their web site about it.

Any idea when it might be released?

They announced it on their FaceBook page. I don't think they've given a release date yet, other than a vague promise of soon.

It shouldn't take too long to get them out. Hopefully they can use the same plates at the K3. They might have to make new ones since the NT is smaller then the K3, I just don't know by how much.

Anyone know/think that the Kobo touch would fit the small sleeve? The dimensions seem to be ok, but, thought I would check to see if anyone knows.

Great question. I still haven't found a permanent case/cover.

themikeyt · 08-01-2011, 06:25 PM

It appears it will fit according to the website. I sent an email earlier today to see what they say, but, no response as of yet. Will let you know when I find out.

gday everyone
ive been eyeing off the Oberon cover as well and sending an email or 2 to them
one thing i am wondering, if anyone has any idea what to do with your oberon cover once you are done with your nook.
i mean you will get a few good years out of it for sure but after youve upgraded or whatever, what do you do with your awesome oberon cover? they seem to damn good looking to just sit around having no use.

anyone been able to salvage an ereader cover for anything for a second life?

themikeyt · 08-02-2011, 08:19 PM

Oberon contacted me and said it should (Sleeve) fit the Kobo touch. I just ordered one, I will let you know how it fits when I get it.

I'm so anxious to get rid of my temporary thing. I may just place an order myself without waiting for feedback. An Oberon sleeve would be ideal because I love holding the Kobo bare.

themikeyt · 08-06-2011, 11:26 PM

Ya, the same with me. I dont want a cover as it just adds weight. Though, I may get a skin from Gelaskin to spruce it up a little. My case is on it's way, so, if you dont order, I'll let ya know. They are amazing looking cases.

apastuszak · 08-11-2011, 02:58 PM

They come out today!

Woohoo!
