I am new to the boards and because of these boards I ordered a case from you yesterday.  If it wasn't for this board I would not have done so and am so glad I did.  The customer service I received yesterday over the phone from your company was amazing!! I am looking forward to receiving my new Oberon cover.

Maybe one of these days I'll bite the bullet the Wild Rose in Blue is calling my name I'm just wondering how long I can ignore it....Especially with 3 covers I  ABSOLUTELY LOVE.  I do want to say thanks though both times I have spoken to Don he has been wonderful

[RhondaRN]

Thank YOU!  I ordered mine a few days ago and I know from reading this board that they are WELL worth the wait!!  Also, like someone mentioned, if not for this board I would not have known about the Oberon covers, but I am very new to Kindle.

[908tracy]

You are quite welcome!

Oberon in my opinion is the creme de la creme of Kindle covers. Even after all of the recommendations I can honestly say my Oberon far exceeded my expectations once it was in my hands. Keep up the great work!! Only problem is they seem to be like Lay's potato chips....you can't have just one!

Thank you for turning out such high quality craftsmanship. =)

I'd like to extend a special thank you to Becca for working with me regarding shipping time and ensuring that my cover was completed and reached its  US destination in time to catch a ride to Mexico, where I live.  My friend should arrive with my Celtic Hounds this weekend.  I can't wait!  Thanks Becca and all the staff at Oberon.  You're the greatest!

MistyD--I just ordered the Wild Roses in blue and LOVE it! Actually, I ordered the design in both the red and blue, planning to keep one and give the other as a gift. I normally go for the red--I already have the Gingko in red and still love it too--but the blue for the Wild Roses design is just something special and different. When I opened the box and my daughter saw it, she said, "oohh, midnight roses!" So the blue is mine!

I am pining for a RRG bag to match my RRG cover...just not sure which size I want...forget "need".

I'm sure I'll give in but it won't be till may or so  a happy birthday to me/happy totally debt free gift to myself but my biggest fear is that I take the plunge and shortly after the k3 comes out or something.  Its funny the oberons are gorgeous but until the Wild Rose in blue hit I'd feel the urge and after a bit and it would fade, but this just keeps pulling at me

[hudsonam]

I just found the design that would make me take the plunge and place an order, but it's not in a Kindle cover.  Is there any chance the Iris will ever be made into a Kindle cover? Or can it be custom made?

ETA: Your covers are stunning!

I ordered the Tree of Life cover for my daughter's SO for Christmas.  He LOVED it.  His second reaction (after WOW) was "you mean they make other stuff?"  I directed him to the website.  Thanks for your wonderful product and excellent service.

Good of you guys of being available and bringing good customer support.

[robjond]

We should be thanking you for the fantastic product that you create.  Because of this KB and all of the enablers here (LOL) I ordered my Avenue of Trees in Taupe 2 months ago.  I love it and always spread the word that it is a beautiful product that will last a lifetime (or far outlast my kindle I'm sure!).

[eldereno]

I received the orders I made today.  I am in love with everything!  I got the hummingbird card case for myself, a celtic knot card case for a friend, a hummingbird bookmark for myself and a celtic cross bookmark for a friend, a tree of life K2 case, a beach small journal and a three graces large journal (all for me).  All beautiful!  BUT did you notice the hummingbird theme earlier?  Just saw that on this very same board someone was smart enough to contact you and arrange a K2 case made with the hummingbird design!!!!!  Now I want one of those!  And I thought I could order only what was offered on the webpage!  What to do....what to do....what to do.....

[GinnyB]

I am just thrilled - actually beyond thrilled with my cover. Just today in my vanpool several folks commented on it (Da Vinci in saddle) so it was passed around the van.

I know you'll be getting more orders from me! (I loved the celtic Amulet!)

[Cobbie]

Question to Oberondesign.com - Is there a recommended application schedule for the Cadillac Lotion or is it a one-time thing? I just used it on my covers and it really added a luster and richness to both.

While I am at it, concerning the bags - If I just want a tote for my Oberon covered Kindle will the Streamline bag be large enough. What I want to have room for are my Kindle, my Mighty Bright Light and extra batteries and my K charger. I will not be using it as a purse, just bag for my Kindle. What about if I have my Oberon covered Kindle in my BB bag? I've seen photos here on the board but I am still undecided about size.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Do I need to worry about the dye lot? Will a bag and cover ordered separately match or must I place an order for both at the same time?   

[eldereno]

Hey, Oberon.....there have been many comments and questions here.  Time to respond!!!!!  So many here love your products, including myself.  We, who are known supporters of you products and are very likely want to buy more, want you to respond to our questions. 

[cheerio]

Now that you say that, i haven't seen a post from them in a while

[pomlover2586]

well I for one would love it if they became regular posters.....we'd love to get our questions answered.

[Cillasi]

I have the ROH in purple for my Kindle1.  I bought a purple Iris large journal for my niece and liked it so much, I bought a red hummingbird large journal for myself along with the hummingbird book mark.  Now I'm looking at the checkbook covers and tote bags.  Is there a 12-step program?

[hudsonam]

Ok, I'm getting ready to maybe place an Oberon order, but I really want the Iris design, and I haven't heard back from them about it. Does anyone know how long it usually takes them to respond to emails?

ETA: I heard back from Becca at Oberon and she said they would put my request in their wish list folder, and that they usually release new designs in the spring.

Hello everyone! Brendan and I wanted to send a special message thanking all of you for supporting us so generously in 2009, for your wonderful appreciation, suggestions and your efforts to spread the word! We can’t express how energizing it is to bask in your praise and of course, fix our mistakes!

 

Just a note too on the hot topic of colors and images. Until 2009 Oberon Design’s reputation was based on our long history of selling journal covers. We were known as a journal company. We’ve been building up our image library for twenty five years. This is why there are more image choices for journals than e reader covers. On average it costs us several thousand dollars to get a new image off the ground and half that to add an image to a new product. We have to sell a whole bunch of covers to recoup this cost. This is why we may freely offer new images on popular items but not on less popular ones. In other words, new images have to earn their way.

Typically, we offer two to four new images a year and test them for popularity. New images for 2010 will be released in the late spring. We are in the process of a website upgrade, adding a 3rd color choice to e reader covers and showing all 3 color choices on the buy pages of all our leather products. Remember that color settings on computer monitors are very different, so we can’t guarantee that what you see on your screen will match your cover exactly, though in most instances it’s very close! I hope this clarifies some of your questions. Thank you again everyone!!

Becca

[mistyd107]

interested to see the new designs but selfishly I hope the wild rose design doesn't go anywhere for a few months.  I hope to order it in blue very soon
