I just ordered my first Oberon. I was sure I'd get DaVinci in Saddle but when I saw the Wild Roses in black well...I was hooked! So, I ordered it. Smiley I can't wait!!!

I really like the Black Roses- but I'm apprehensive to order anything this weekend, due to the fact that Oberon has stated that some things that may appear on the website, will not actually be available after mid next week.

Id hate to fall in love with/order a cover, only to be told "oops sorry we aren't manufacturing that cover/color combo....."

I've been tempted by the da Vinci for some time. As a matter of fact I've just been waiting to order until I found out what the 3rd color would be. But then they made this black rose cover. <sigh> I've been doing so good lately too....

Wow - well I sure hope that since the Black Roses was just put up on the site that they won't tell it's unavailable. I guess if that happens it wasn't meant to be.

Oh I can't wait to see pictures.  I wish they made more covers for the dx.  I STILL have a bunch of k2 covers, more than i need.  My latest is the cole haan ruby sugar and I love it.  It goes well with the lilly skin too, although I didn't think it would.  I should learn how to post pictures and try to sell a few of my covers.  One I never even opened.  Octo cherry blossoms I think.

YAY!!!  I can't imagine why they would put up a bunch of new photos only to remove them. Seems like a lot of extra work. I figured when they said what's up there may not be there, it had to do with the stuff they hadn't yet changed. But, if they tell me the Black Roses isn't available then I'll have to accept that.

Can't wait to see more pics of the black wild roses cover.  You both must post some.  I wil live vicariously through yours.  If I were ordering another Oberon cover today, it would be this one.

It came today! That was super fast. Smiley But I only live a little over 100 miles from Santa Rosa. Smiley

Here are some pictures - my camera wasn't cooperating today.

I also got the Agatha Crimson e-reader bag from Borsa Bella.


Close up & Full cover (sorry for the yucky photo)
 

Just the bag

I had a skin already - doesn't match. It's the Plaid Flower from decalgirl. I may get one in roses later but not sure.

Love those roses in black it's. The Oberon pictures doesn't do any justice. And it seems posting them on here you really get a much better look. I love looking at all the pictures they give you a better idea to what they'll look like. thanks for posting.

Which skin in roses, is it from Decal Girl?  the nice thing about the black, is really any skin will go with it.  One of my favorite ones from Decal girl is called Orient, I think it would look amazing with this cover.

I'm not a floral pattern-loving guy, but that black rose is beautiful.
