I got one of these (in purple) from ebay last week whilst I am waiting for my Oberon.
Does the job. Not as cheap as other covers mentioned here but, being in the same country as the seller means that I ordered on Monday evening and received it on Wednesday though I see they've now got a note saying they're away for a month! |

Yolina, there was actually some interest in that case on this thread, but the seller only ships to the UK, so you are one of the few here who can even get her hands on one. I wouldn't mind one of those myself, if I didn't already have two cases.

Oberon. Sigh.
If they'd only make dedicated slot-in cases instead of using those horribly ugly elastic straps (and using an entire video to explain a bungee cord...), then I'd buy my products to fit their cases, instead of the other way around. Beautiful cases, with the ugliest retaining mechanism ever. Pity, that. Last edited by Katsunami; 02-10-2013 at 11:34 AM. |

^ Ditto! If they could add the nice leather covers to a plastic molded back like the official case and the Googleproduct one, and add auto-wakep, I would not hesitate to buy one.

That's a bit of a shame that they only ship to the UK. It's quite nice, though it certainly doesn't feel like leather, not even of the PU kind! But hey, cheap enough, nice colour and, for me, only temporary anyway. Bonus (as far as I am concerned): no branding on it - for some reason, I hate branding, it just irritates me. Edit: and yes I would love an Oberon with a moulded back like the Amazon cover. The straps don't bother me at all though, what I really don't like is the slip-in type covers!

Snap retaining instead of slot-in would be fine as well. I assume they don't do this because now their cases work for multiple devices. |

Add to that being able to choose the colour/design combination you'd like and I'd buy one too. They are beautiful but not having the molded back, sleep/wake function and their insistence in only allowing certain colours with certain designs, (no, their designers don't know what looks best in my eyes), means that unfortunately I will never consider buying from them.

Maybe they are a very small company that cannot afford to customize their covers for individual devices, for fear they'll sit on stock? |

To avoid that, they could make them on demand, like Noreve and KleverCase do.
