I ordered a Kindle 2 cover last evening, and got an e-mail today saying it would be sent tomorrow. Shipping was pricey ($23 to Michigan) but I had a coupon code (generationmp3) that gave me 15% off. Altogether then, the cover w/shipping was a couple of dollars more than the regular price of the cover. I'll update when it arrives on my doorstep!!

It sounds like things are up and running for people to order from the Noreve Europe site.  I'll leave this thread stickied through the end of April.  By then, everyone who might have ordered from the Noreve USA site should have caught up with the latest news.  Y'all will be able to continue to post this thread, but just as a normal thread.

Let us know mrskb when you get your cover!

Yes, ouch, but with the discount code, I managed to get the total price (the cover plus shipping) down to the cost of what the cover would have originally been...so I guess, basically, the discount code paid the shipping Smiley

Every little bit helps!!  My shipping to Houston was even less ($20).  Go figure!  Unless it has something to do with the airline routes. 

I ordered my Noreve case this past Thursday, early morning.  Received an e-mail that it shipped on Friday.  (I ordered the black case that is always in stock.)  It arrived TODAY!!!  I wasn't prepared for it to get here so quickly.  But of course, I'm glad it did.  It's lovely.  Kindle seems to be extremely happy to be in it.  And it appears to add no overall weight.  I know that can't be right but compactness of the overall package is just so.......















yummy!!!

You did good! It sounds like you may have ordered the same case that I did. I love it! How was the mailing packaging?

I did!  The packaging was exactly the same as yours except that it wasn't badly beat up.  The box was crushed a bit on one side but that wouldn't take much more than breathing on it to crush that dinky box!!!

I mailed an Oberon case today that I sold, wrapped it in bubble wrap and put it in a padded envelope.  That is more protection that what the Noreves have!!

I'm glad yours arrived safe and sound Vicki!   Smiley

It is disappointing Noreve is sending out packages with hardly any protection.

Folks, I'm going to unstick this; I think everyone that had ordered from the US distributor that might have benefited probably has.  Of course, you can continue your discussions in the thread, just as a regular thread, thanks!
