i bought the "Bold Celtic Knot" K2 case... heck, if I'm going to spend $359 on a K2, what's another $75.... plus, to ease the pain of my purchase, I bought my wife a Asus netbook on Amazon

Have you tried strangedog.com? If you like his style case that is. I know he has done some southwestern style cases and if he has time he would probably work with you to pick out fabric.

Yes, I like his covers.

I like the sturdiness of the Oberon leather covers better. They seem very well made and I'm helping in the 'recyling' effort. ......

I was waiting to get the Roof of Heaven in saddle, and now it is just in purple. I called Oberon yesterday and they told me they were going to be posting a choice of both colors for this Kindle 2 cover either last night or today. It isn't showing yet. Has anyone heard anything from Oberon about getting Roof of Heaven in saddle besides me?

Desertgrandma and Pilotbob, I can help you with this! I have sky dragon for my kindle. When I first got it, it was stiff, and it made pressing the right next page button and the left previous page button difficult. However, I use it every day, with the cover folded back, and I can say it is just perfect. It is stiff enough for the clip on book light, and to protect the kindle when I dropped it on the train platform, and it bounced! But it bends back and is very comfortable. I don't know what it will be like with the slimmer kindle 2, but I absolutely love mine. Debra

I hope they use the slots, eventually if not initially. I'm not fond of the corner strap look. It's hard to believe I'm considering a $75 cover, but these are gorgeous.

K2 "Out for delivery"

Saddle is now available. All covers now have two color choices.

Oberon Designs has decided that they will not have the new hinge attachments. For a couple of reasons like cost and because there is no attachment on the right hand side. (I think I gleaned the correct information from the KindleBoards thread.)

Not sure if they are going to have the Velcro as well. Maybe.

That's a shame and I also think a bit of a cop-out. Kindle2 provides a blind/solid connection method for covers and they eschew it. Heck, the customer are going to pay for the extra cost.

Agree pilotbob. The Kindle 2 provides a hinge system, why wouldn't Oberon use it. I think they're missing out here.
