The Amazon cover is superior in quality and design to the imitation covers I have tried. (Of course the price is superior too)

October 2nd needs to hurry up and get here. I already have my case and ordered my skin

I have the same skin on my soon-to-be-gifted K3; took me a couple of hours to match the custom skin layout to my old screensaver. I thought about changing it up a bit, but.... nah!
Lovely skin, and beautiful avatar btw.

@Gosharks - good find and certainly looks the business. Ordered a black one. Less that £10 delivered, when the cheapest non-magnet version here goes for £20... which I currently have and I'll pass on with the K4 to the wife. After all black goes with everything right

a) Because it's pretty. I have the same decal on my K3, which my dad is inheriting, and I'm going to miss it.
b) Because I prefer how the decal feels compared to the fabric lining of the inside cover. I saw some pics on kboards where the posters had stuck the back decal to the inside of the cover, and I thought it looked wonderful.
c) Because I really liked having a custom screen saver and skin combo (fingers crossed the hack will be ready soon). I spent a couple of hours getting everything lined up so the image on screen would match up with the image on the decal. It makes everything look seemless.
d) Because I'm bored waiting for my Paperwhite to arrive, and I tend to make impulse purchases when I'm bored.

The image in my avatar is by the artist Esben Hanefelt Kristensen. The last time I was in Denmark, I bought an illustrated edition of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Nightingale" containing Kristensen's work, and I absolutely fell in love.

I see, and especially relate to d, which is why I have way too many cases already - let the PW2 come!!

True, the quality is really very good. The price and color choices not so much.

The persimmon just arrived. Now when the PW2 arrives I need to convince my wife that she deserves the newer, more vibrant cover so that I can snag the black cover that's on the PW1.
(We need 2 different colored covers to avoid confusion)

Give it to her as a present. Add some chocolate.

She can't refuse a present, or...?

You are such amateurs...

If he gives it to her as a present, for no reason, she'll suspect something (and something much worse than him wanting to switch covers. Just trust me on that one).

Sooo... wait until the cover arrives, get all excited and show her how nice the new cover is that YOU got for YOURSELF . Then sit back and just let you be persuaded by her to switch. She'll try. If you resist a bit, she might even use nice means . She'll win (surprise !). Or she'll think she won. And she'll be super happy nice for a week, at least .

, I know, but it works with superman. EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Meh. He could of course just be a real man and *take* the black cover.

So there. Meinmedievalmodejusttobeacontrarian.
