Thanks for the update! They'd said on their Facebook page that they were hoping to have it out by Friday, so they must have kicked it into overdrive. Now I can stay up late to add a new entrant into the decision mix ![]() |

look nice, but $130? ouch. I'd have to actually see one in person first. considering its almost 1/5 the cost of my iPad!

Yeah, that's a bit too rich for my blood. Plus, at 15 oz., it would bring the weight of the iPad to just under 2.5 lbs., which, as Tina Fey might say, is probably a deal breaker for me. Looks like Sena, here I come. |

That brings up something I've found funny: Some iPad haters will knock its weight, but think nothing of using an Oberon and a booklight, which add a bunch of weight to their devices.

$130 doesn't seem bad, if I knew I'd be getting a few years use of it. What I'm afraid of though is picking up an iPad and an expensive case, and then next year Apple releases "iPad 2" with bells and whistles like a camera and expandable memory... and I'll be sitting there with my fingers crossed that it's the same exact size and shape so my cover will still be useful lol
I spent 85 bucks on a phone case, which seems a lot as well, but I have almost 2 years of daily grind on the thing, so the "use" value was well worth it. |

That said, I can't imagine using an Oberon with an iPad. I gave my K2 version away due to the weight; the iPad version would be insane. I'm also deeply underwhelmed at their methods for making it into an easel or for improving the angle for typing. Their covers are beautiful to look at, but for me, I found with the Kindle covers that function was way more important than looks. My MacAlly Bookstand will be here tomorrow, and while it's nowhere near as pretty as the Oberon lineup, it should weigh a tenth as much and actually function in both typing and viewing positions. If it doesn't, I'll almost certainly end up with the Noreve, same as I did with my Kindle. I do find I'm pretty comfortable going coverless with the iPad though so far. The Bookstand is intended more for certain tasks than for 24/7 use. |

I also don't worry much about scratches and such that don't affect use. I might end up selling my iPad to upgrade later, though, so I figure I'll try to avoid dinging it up. Last edited by Maggie Leung; 05-21-2010 at 01:53 AM. |

long term use is certainly a concern too. I bought this iPad knowing well I would upgrade to next years model, so spending $130 for a case that might not make it to the next model for me just is silly. apple's case is thin and light enough, protects from scratches and has an easel function. but to those who buy and enjoy their Oberon case, I'm glad it works out for your needs. they certainly look like no other case on the market and are a lot better looking than an generic silicone case.

I'm loving it for I no longer have to hold the iPad while reading I can't dock but naturally I can charge consequently I returned the iPad dock I'd purchased online to be applied towards this case For the cost of this case I hope I don't look into getting another case |
