I'm happy with the velcro. I think it may be way more secure than corners that can slip off. I don't plan to take my Kindle out of the cover. The velcro is stuck on the skin. I put a new, different skin on the front when I got my new Oberon Celtic Hounds. I kept the first skin (Dark Burlwood) on the back and stuck the velcro to that. You can't see the skin or the velcro. If I decide to change covers, I'll put the unused back half of my new decal on the back of the Kindle. But I love my Oberon and don't foresee a cover change in the near future.
I have no trouble centering the Kindle when sticking it to the velcro. Standing over it helps.

I'll admit it. I'm a nut about having the Kindle straight and the sides of the cover even. I thought I was weird but it sounds like I'm not alone, so maybe not so weird after all.

I'm nuts about having things symmetrical as well ... but, I honestly have never found that to be a problem with my Oberon/velcro. I take the kindle out maybe a couple of times a week, and it's never been a hassle for me to put it back in straight and lined up ...

Just a quick note, Oberon's corner straps are made of leather on three of the corners and an elastic cord on the upper right hand corner. I have never worried that my Kindle's would fall out due to loose corners, in my experience with two covers (one for KK and one for K2i) they are very secure with the corners. I think that the most difference is in appearance and not security. That is just my opinion for what it is worth.

I agree - I think they're equally secure in either cover - it's a matter of aesthetics and how you use your Kindle. |

Does anyone know where Patrizia is? I haven't seen any postings by her in a long time. She usually weighs in on Oberon discussions.
Come to think of it, haven't seen her post on the amazon boards either.... I hope that she's ok.,

Of course I will Cobbie... I'm trying not to get too excited since I know they're working through their post-Christmas back-up... wonder how long it will take to ship?

I just checked that Jason, and orders placed the week of the 25th will be shipped from Feb 1st. So about a week in production which is pretty good.

I had an answer but Pushka covered it nicely. She's obviously not on an iPhone. |

I've had both and prefer Velcro. That being said, I just sold my blue Butterfly with Velcro and ordered a blue Butterfly with corners. Why? Because cagnes designed me a gorgeous skin and I just can't put Velcro on it.

I just added my vote for corners, now that I've had mine for a few weeks, I am very happy with the corners. Couldn't love my Oberon more!!! =)

Not at all Misty, it's so much nicer than I had even expected. I've already "sold" several more for Oberon from friends at work that had to have one after seeing mine.
