Onyx M96 pictures of the cover

[machinogodzilla]

Someone asked me for the pictures of the cover M96 from Booxtor's store comes with so here they are in case others are interested, under summer sun at full blast (no reflections, magic! ).

In another thread I briefly mentioned the cover already, now you can have a closer look. Bare in mind that the cover has been in constant use for about a month now.

Front:


Back: (magnetic button)


Open: (notice the 'dents' to accommodate the buttons and joystick)


Open and folded: (the reader sits very securely in it's 'cradle', you can close the button so that it doesn't stick out)


Stylus loop above the reader:


As I said before I wish the stylus loop was on the side (or both sides for both left- and right-handed users) instead of above the reader. There is not much room there and it takes some practice to fish out the stylus. I normally keep it behind my ear when I scribble a lot, so not really a big issue, but still a little annoyance, M92 cover was better in this respect IMO.

The cover has a soft and quality feel to it but at the same time is quite prone to scuffs, as you can see. The amount of padding seems more than enough.

I think it's a good product overall.

Yeah, I wonder who had an idea to move the stylus loop to the top, just above the reader. That's probably the worst place one can imagine, fishing it out is really not easy, for people with large hands it's even worse. Not a big problem in comparison to buggy software and we can use our ears as a better place for the stylus, as you mention Still, kinda fascinating how a well designed product/idea is flushed down the toilet in the next iteration...
