Yea, that's kind of what I thought. I would prefer a nice soft leather... sort of like the leather covered Moleskine.

Sorry, no I meant you could see more Kindle1 covers.

The covers are fairly stiff, but you can fold it all the way back with no effort at all.

They don't have a Kindle 2 yet, the pictures are of the currently available Kindle 1 designs. They won't have their Kindle 2 until late February.

It is a thicker leather, comfortable to hold, but not a soft glove-like leather.

Wow, the Roof of Heaven is amazing.

I haven't found a cover yet that I've been really inspired to buy. But the Roof of Heaven is a possibility - my favorite that I've seen so far. Although, and I know this is an unpopular opinion, I kind of love my little cheapo case that came with my Kindle. It's the strap, I think, but it just feels like a journal to me.

Those are some pretty nice covers. Wish there was something like that for my Sony.

Did you send them an email? They said if they got enough interest (paraphrasing) they would consider it.

BurBunny · 02-16-2009, 10:12 PM

I wasn't sure how I'd like the Oberons in person, mostly whether I felt the pebbled texture was going to be soft enough, and if I found them to be as beautiful in person as in the pics. Fortunately, one of the local Paradise Pens stores has the journal covers, so I went to go see them today. While they didn't have the cover I'm considering, I really liked the way they feel in the hand. I can easily see myself holding one for hours at a time.

I think the Wave is in my future!

Go here, look at the designs, and if you really like them, send and email letting them know.

They are waiting for enough interest to start making the Sony covers.

I would think the stiffness of the covers would be a plus, in terms of protecting the kindle screen and the device itself in case of a fall.

This is the one I have ordered for K2. It is also the one I have on K1 AND on my journal!

Absolutely! I have an Oberon cover {Sky Dragon} on K1 and it protects very will. Actually, last night, K1 got knocked off the coffee table by an adolescent boy still getting used to his height, and not only is it still working well, but also there isn't a scratch on it .

Wow, you love that design!

I had the red Sky Dragon on my Kindle 1 and I sold my K1 with the cover. I ordered an Oberon cover for my K2 but this time I chose the red Sun!

CribQuilter · 02-17-2009, 11:42 AM

WOw those are gorgeous. When I win the K2 I promise to stimulate the economy and buy one of those beauties!! But man what one to choose they are all so beautiful!!

I'm thinking about canceling my order for the red Sun cover and get the red River Garden instead. I think I will sleep on it!
