I love what they're doing with the site, love seeing the covers that I like in the different colors! Now it's really hard to decide on which one I want! lol

I would love too but some of it will stay and some will go.. I can tell you we are testing out new colors that we have not seen before and some possible new designs.. again nothing is set in stone yet so we have to see what sticks so to speak.. things we can make consistantly and well.  I promise as soon as we have the info you will as well

I see some color additions on the Oberon website now.  Black has been added to the Roses and DaVinci covers.  I'm still looking, but I suggest that Oberon fans take a look at the website.  From the messages from Oberon here, this is probably just the beginning of some changes.  Some of the covers have a selection of 3 colors.

After re-reading the original post in this thread by Oberon's representative, I realize that maybe what is up right now will be changed on Monday.

I do like Wild Rose in Black and Tree of Life in Wine.  I don't have any Oberon covers in these colors.

Exactly!! What you see now may change. We are hoping to have it all in place by Tuesday.. So. Be aware changes are in the works .. Thanks for understanding. As soon as it's complete I will post it here.

I love seeing the cover in different colors. Of course, that means I'm going to have to get a second job to support my addiction...uh I mean habit!    Eventually I'm going to have to have Raven-love it in black!

The price of the DX cover went up to $130

I have been hoping for Seaside to be available as a K2 cover.  (in Taupe!)

I was on the website yesterday and didn't see Seaside ANYWHERE (even in the journals, which is how I've always heard of people buying it).  I know Taupe is being discontinued, but is Seaside being discontinued as a design?

Thanks!

DaisyMama, if I'm understanding what Oberon is saying correctly, what we're seeing on the site this weekend will not be the same as what is there by the beginning of the week.  So if Seaside is missing now, it may be back this week.

I cannot wait to see what all the changes will be.

[MAGreen]

How exciting! I am really looking forward to the new stuff!

I see the peacock cover in purple. That would be awesome if it stays.

It's so nice to be able to see the covers in their actual color choices. I've had my eye on River Garden forever but always wondered what it would look like in saddle, now they actually show it. (And for the record, I like it better in red.)

Oh Oberon, why do you tempt me so?

[MarthaT]

Can't wait to see it!

The price of the DX cover went up to $130 

OUch, that's terrible.

[cheerio]

wow

[JeffM]

It's been at $130 for at least 3 weeks now. That's what I paid for mine. Steep for sure. Great product though.

Is there any chance of Oberon someday making a "flip style" cover in addition to the "book style" ones?  I visit the site to drool over their gorgeous designs on a regular basis, but I LOVE the feel of a flip style cover, and have gotten quite spoiled by the ability to prop my Kindle on a table or desk for hands free reading!  I'd buy a flip style Oberon in a heartbeat, but I've been hesitant to buy one of the book style ones because I don't know if the beauty/quality they offer is enough of a trade-off for giving up the comfort/convenience of my flip style M-Edge Platform.

[Anne]

When will they be finished making the changes?

[drenee]

The OP said early next week.  I guess that could be anywhere from today to Wednesday. 
Hard to wait to see what the changes are going to be.

So far no changes on the DX page.  I should know, I have the whole thing memorized.

Dpinmd-
Today for the first time I decided to rotate the screen on my Kindle to landscape mode.  I have an Oberon cover that worked really well as a flip-style case when turned on its side.  I rotated the screen so that the keypad was on the left side.  I used the next page, prev page buttons on top of the screen to change pages.  The firmness of my Oberon Celtic Hounds offered a really stable platform for reading while eating lunch. 

That said, I was eating outside at the picnic table, so the cover didn't slip open.  It stayed the way I propped it.  I found I could stop it from slipping on my highly-polished desk if I put the charm with the elastic behind the cover so the front cover was pushed up against the charm.  Sorry I can't post a picture.

Oh I can't wait to see the new stuff, but on the other hand I'm not   It took me sooooo long
to decide on which Oberon to get and now if I see new options it might tempt me to get another....
