I just checked, and the green one and the one with the upside down map were both from masamall. I ordered them on Sept. 10 and as per the tracking they arrived here on Sept. 23.
However, when I emailed them about the upside down map, they sent a generic "Hello friend" email that they send when you first order something. I wrote back asking if anyone actually read my email, and in lieu of an answer I got a Paypal notification about the refund.
It could be that nobody speaks English in that company.
It could be that your package is with customs in Spain. When you click on the tracking link, what does it say where the package is?

The green one is NOT as cute as it looks in the pics, BTW. It's a more subdued green.

You're both too kind

At least it didn't end up looking like a chicken or something which it could easily have done given my abilities. Once I've finished that one and if it turns out ok, I might even get started on another one and do something different (obviously)

That's what it would have looked like if I did it.

How many cases do you have now, ... fellow case hoarder?

*cough* erm lemme see *cough* there's the Oberon, and 3 ebay cheapos: turquoise, purple and brown-orangey - the latter specifically acquired to attempt the cave painting.

There's actually some logic behind it

I got the purple one as soon as I got the PW because I needed a cheap cover whilst I was deciding which Oberon to go for (and then wait for it to be made and arrive in the UK).
Then I got the turquoise one just before going on holiday because I do prefer to take a "wipe clean plastic" cover to the beach but couldn't find the purple one (it's somewhere in my flat, I'm going to have to thoroughly go through all the cupboards - I really can't remember where I put it all those months ago)
And lastly the brown-orange purely to try the cave painting on.

The PW is in the Oberon 99% of the time really and I only need one for the beach so the other 2 might get modified to take a notepad and pen or something rather than be used as PW covers

Don't worry Yolina, we are all case hoarders, and it all started with ONE person (that's right xendula, go in hiding and pretend the only reason why you are not answering right now is because it's the middle of the night in the US...)

I like you drawing too. I really like the inspiration coming from Lascaux .

I have no tracking possibility, so I really don't know where the package is...

I'm somewhat limited in what covers I can buy anyway because I want totally unbranded ones

I like you drawing too. I really like the inspiration coming from Lascaux .

Thank you

Hope your cover does turn up soon

Making excuses.... that's a clear sign of denial, you can't even admit you've got a problem, there's no hope!

Incidentally, how did you attempt the design of your cave painting case, is it just freehand drawing using ink or...? It looks pretty good.

Yes freehand

The case is PU leather - so mostly plastic - wiped it with some nail varnish remover to give it a bit of a key, then wiped with water, used some leather dye I had lurking about to do the background (the white balance on the pic is off, it's actually a much darker, deeper red) using a sponge and then used black acrylic paint for the deer. Once it's finished I'll spray a couple of coats of clear matt varnish.

Far too artistic for me to attempt then! Please post a photo when you've finished it
