Noreve case

Idoine · 05-06-2009, 02:58 PM

Did someone try the Noreve case ?
I've got one for my mobiles and for my Archos, and I think about it for my Cybook...

Looks very nice, but I'd have problems with SD cards in the sleeves directly opposite the screen, possibly pressing on it... I'd fear to somehow bruise/break the screen...

Mmm, good point.

I own a noreve case for my Mp3 player. It's definitivly nice. Though noreve is really expensive

I have one for my MP3 player too, I can't complain about it at all. I didn't realise Noreve made Cybook cases. Sadly I don't think the corners come out far enough to offer protection if it falls...

It looks _nice_!
One thing I really don't like about the bookeen cover is how the flap is close to the navigation button, making it difficult to press right or down. This case doesn't seem to have this problem (in fact I don't even see what's holding the cybook in the case when it's open?)

Idoine · 05-18-2009, 05:52 PM

Well, as I've no willpower, I've order one, so, when I receive it, I'll try to make some pics, and a review too !

Halk · 05-18-2009, 06:41 PM

Excellent!

chlorine · 07-16-2009, 05:14 PM

So did you receive the case? If yes, are you satisfied with it?

My cybook's starting to slip from its case, as other have mentioned, and that worries me a bit and I wonder if I should buy a new one...

Idoine · 07-16-2009, 05:53 PM

Yes, I received it !
I wanted to take some pics, but I can't put my hand on my camera !

I need to use my holiday to tidy a little...

Well, some points are great, some not so...

For the great ones :

It's more rigid than the standard cover from Bookeen.
The buttons are more accessible (the navigation button particularly).
The cover can be folded completely at the back, so you can hold the Cybook with one hand.
And as always, the quality is there (leather, finishing touches)

For the not so ones :

The weight, of course !
The inner of the flap, with its travel wallet, card slots and so on, could push on the screen, I think, if used (but I don't... ).
As a flip side of the better access, the flap cover can push the navigation button when you close it (I always put a bookmark before, just in case ! ).
The Cybook slips a little in its case (won't fall nonetheless).
And as mine freezes from time to time, of course the reset hole isn't accessible, so I have to put it out of its cover to reset it (of course at the worse moment... ). I hope the next firmware will improve this freezing issue !

But I'm satisfied, I was aware of the - points, so...

How do you feel it would be if you dropped the Cybook in the case? Do you think it would stop the Cybook itself hitting the ground no matter which way it landed?

I don't really want to try, as you could surmise

.
But the corners are very hard, and the cover is really rigid, so I think there will not have torsion (which is I think the worse for the screen)

Corners

Thanks for the review!

Is it easy to remove the cybook from the case and take it out again? I like to read without a cover when I'm at home and if I have to fumble with the cover that'll be a big turn down for me.

Not so easy, you have to push the right part sufficiently to grip the left part, as the Cybook doesn't slip well in the cover (and that's for the better, then it can't slip accidently !

).
You just have to get the knack !

It'll take some 5 seconds then...

chlorine · 07-18-2009, 07:44 AM

Thanks again for all the details!

It looks like a good product for me, but buying a case now at this price would not be reasonable. I'll keep that in mind for the future though!

I ordered a leather case for my cowon s9 on the 10th of Aug and still haven't recieve the product. I called the custom and the guy told me that it'll be shipped on Sept. 24th and that since I'm paying for the cheapest transact it'll be another 12~15 days, which means I'll probably get the product exactly 2 months after my order! I hate to say this but my experience with Noreve is quite disappointing!
