Need an inexpensive bag to protect wife's K2 Oberon while it's in her purse...

Hi DD,

I suspect it may be because the da Vinci is such smooth leather compared to Celtic Hounds. I'm sorta kinda glad to know that even after treating it the mars showed up again. I say this only because it reinforces that I did the right thing by returning it. However, I didn't return it for the scratches, I returned it for an entirely different reason then the other two reasons popped up, one of which was the scratches around the pewter closure. Some suggested that my long fingernails did it, but it would have worn differently had that been the case.

I learned my lesson on the da Vinci and now protect it dearly! Age will enhance it to be sure; I just don't want scratches or folding back marks.

Did you try the leather conditioner that Oberon suggested? I'm sure it will always remain beautiful though!

Yes, I used the product recommended by Oberon:

I wouldn't even call mine scratched.  It's more like a spot on the leather that is a little lighter than the rest of it right where my finger rubs a little when I take the bungee off.  It doesn't bother me too much.

I actually like my various leather cases to get scuffed if that makes any sense. Scuffs and creases add a vintage, used look to the leather. Gives it some character if you will. But that's just me.

I was just going to say the same thing.  I like the vintage look.  I guess great minds think alike!

As promised, here are a couple of photos of my wife's Oberon, DecalGirl skin, and Elite Elishi's hand-made carrying bag.

My wife loves the Oberon, and is very pleased by Elite Elishi's work (a good deal @ $14.95).

Wow, that skin really matches the bag, doesn't it?  Looks like they were made for each other.  It looks great, I'm sure your wife is pleased.

It all looks like each item was made with the others in mind! I like it!

Fantastic! They look so good together

For anyone else who looks for an inexpensive way to protect a Kindle + cover in a purse, briefcase, book bag/backpack, etc, I picked this up a couple of months ago, all function, no cute factor but if it's in my purse all the time that's fine for me.  And the price is right at $7.91.

Wow, good choices.  Lovely.  I guess I am sterio typing when I think that men don't care about things matching and looking good.  Maybe it is just my husband.
