Hi there - does the Book Jacket cover have a stiff board inside it, or is it just made of neoprene?

Thanks.

The book jacket is hardboard covered in neoprene; so it provides very good impact protection to the screen.

Cool...then I guess I'll order one in the next few days...

Thanks.

Good, I'm in.

I just ordered my Medge Book-style Iliad protector...let's see how long it takes for the things to be in stock and to ship to Germany.

btw....does anyone have any new details about those silicon cases? The website still says 25th of October which is over if I'm not completely mistaken...^^

they also adapted the iRex calendar.

could be...

I hope they won't take forever to send me my case...then I can finally start taking my Iliad along when I go somewhere without wrapping it in towels and then still worrying...

Expected ship date for all jackets is 6 Nov 2006. Shipping abroad will take 4 to 6 days. Shipping within the US will take 2 to 3 days.

We had to slip the ship date of our silicon jacket as we work out some fit and finish issues.

Standby for a new date. Website will be updated shortly.

My Iliad Jacket startet it's trip today according to the mail I received...let's see how long it takes to get here.

Some comments on the M-edge cover for the Iliad after using it:
- The flipbar can only be used properly one way! Flipping back pages (from left to right, is hard or makes it stuck)
- Stylus is VERY hard to access.. since I heavily use the stylus this is not really functional. Leaving it out of the iliad is not an option in the loop, as the loop is not snug tight and leaving it out drains power.
- Connect button is partly covered,

All in all, not too pleased with the cover so far

It definately gets better with time. I'm surprised I'm rooting for it, but I really like it now after two weeks of constant use.

I wound up modifying the medge book jacket. I cut out the support along the left edge and top. Then I put velcro in the upper left corner. I left the bottom and right side supports alone. This modification allows for easy flipping of pages in either direction, easy access to all the buttons, and still keeps the iLiad secure. I looked at the official iRex cover that velcro's on but it would have been around $25 more than the medge with shipping.

Pictures ?
My mother is making me a leather cover for the iLiad, but in case it turns out really too ugly, I'd like to try a M-edge case (same for me, iRex would be great, but shipping is ultra expensive).

I'm a little late, but here's a couple of pictures: www.buymedge.com/p_products.html

I'm thinking about ordering one in brown leather, but I'm still not sure. I wonder how stiff the front cover is and how much pressure it can take.

How did your mother's cover turn out?

What does it look like now? Were you able finish the edges so they look nice? If I order a cover, I would probably want to modify it like you, as I've set the page flip bar right = forward (easier on my thumb).
