They have really good customer service. I asked them a question about leather colors and instead of just answering my question, they also took pictures for me to see how well two differrent leather colors went with the book material. I'm really looking forward to getting a sleeve from them.

I just placed a custom order for a Kindle 3 sleeve with the book theme and burgundy leather. They even let me pick the area of the fabric print that I wanted. I can't wait to see the finished product!
Ohh, he also said that there would be a half dozen new Kindle 3 sleeves posted on Etsy in the next day or so, for anyone who might want to check them out.

This accessories board is going to bankrupt me by the end of the year. I ordered a custom sleeve for the K3 too--in the leaf design. When I sent an email inquiring about ordering a K3 case they got back to me right away, and even sent me a photo of the leaf-imprinted piece of leather they were thinking of using and asked me if I liked that piece or would rather have them use another one. Of course I loved it! My new cover is supposed to be ready by early next week. I had never even heard of this company before and love their designs. Thanks for letting us all know about their work  Now I'm going to try not to peek in any of the purse or skins threads for the next few months... |

My sleeve was just delivered  Intial reaction: As a avid Oberon owner I must say this sleeve is absolutely deserving to be mentioned in the same breath. The leather is smooth and soft. The finish work is top notch. I absolutely love it.   I will try to get a good picture of the inside to post later tonight. One last thought for now.... the stingray skin that I had custom placed is very neat unique touch. For those of you that have never seen stingray skin before it is very cool. Will add more later.... |

For all of you wondering, the inside is lined with the smooth leather that you see surrounding the stingray pattern. Very smooth and soft. It smeels great too |

Here are some more pics of my sleeve: Notice that I went with the full flap vs the strap   As far as the closure device goes I am very satisfied by it. I tried to get some pics of it here.   Did you see the texture of the stingray skin. Very hard to explain and even harder to get a good pic of. I know that many of you are wondering about the inside so here is a shot that I tried to get for you. It is the same smooth leather that used to finish the front sides and back of the sleeve. very soft and smooth.  I am also including a good pic of the back of the case with the top closed.  All in all this case is sweet and any of you that decide to get on from this seller will not be disappointed. |

Love the pictures. I was originally going to order a custom sleeve with a fabric/leather design but I ordered this one instead http://www.etsy.com/transaction/33116195I loved the look of a flap that closes esp. of the next ereader I get is a slightly different size it won't fall out. And the look of the leather and wood detail was nice. I have gone accessory crazy in the past but this I plan to be my only purchase. I just wanted a nice leather sleeve. Reading covers are just too heavy for me. |

Thanks so much for sharing this - I have never seen anything made with stingray skin, and it is really beautiful! I have not considered a sleeve before since I usually keep my Kindles in a cover, but now I'm thinking I must have one like this. |

Thanks for taking all the extra pictures meempdog, I love you sleeve and can't wait until I get mine. If stingray skin came in more "girly" colors I think I would have gotten it, lol. It's pretty neat looking.

For those of you that want something more interesting email them and ask about the shark skin and alligator that they have in colors. Also here is link if you want to know more about stingray skin/leather and the colors that it can be gotten in. I think they can order different colors. http://rojeleather.com/stingray.aspx |

meempdog...do you have to press very hard to close it? I'm worried about pressing on the Kindle screen. Or won't that be a factor?

You do not have to press hard at all. That is the reason that they use this closure instaed of a snap. I ordered from http://www.etsy.com/shop/GardenourLeather |
