I am still rocking my K2 and already have an Oberon for it so I'm going to stick with that until the K2 gets replaced with a new Kindle, but I went to the Saddleback website and couldn't resist.
I have carried my wallet in my front pocket for over 10 years now, and it's hard to find one that is comfortable. I eyed their new narrow chestnut bi-fold for a while and finally pulled the trigger.
It came in today and it's beautiful. I can't wait to break this thing in and watch the leather get some character.
Now I'm wondering if I can hold off on the sleeve. I prefer to read my Kindle naked (with a skin) and the sleeve looks perfect for my needs. I'm just scared if I order one and use it now it will be too stretched out for the K3 (or K4?) when I upgrade.
Decisions decisions...

Until very recently I had my K3 in an Amazon Kindle cover (non-lighted) until the cover started locking up my Kindle so I returned the cover for a refund and got a rosewood skin instead and now I store it in its tobacco SBL sleeve and lovin' it!  |

Thanks Jason. I think so too. Very manly combination of wood-grain and leather, wouldn't you say?  |

Jason, what's in the sleeve? And is that DCB or chestnut? Looks like DCB to me. I'm trying to decide on a color for the tote and will probably get a sleeve or two also. I was thinking DCB tote and tobacco sleeves, but your sleeve is gorgeous.

It's Dark Coffee Brown, and that's my Nook Color in the sleeve.

I was just checking out the 'new designs' section on Saddleback - just noticed the Chamberlain Milk Leather Bag Liniment - has anyone used this? I've always had good luck with Apple Leather Care Conditioner, but with all the leather products I enjoy , I don't think I could ever have too much on hand. Also love the looks of the Waterbag! But I think the weight would really drag me.  Julip, did you ever end up using any of your Apple Leather Conditioner on your Saddleback pieces? I'm at work, I accidentally placed my Saddleback sleeve down on a co-worker's desk right into a puddle of water.  The only thing I have at home is the Apple Conditioner I used to use on my Oberon stuff. Wondering if that will help remove this watermark from my sleeve. |

You may find that the watermark will fade away on its own without any intervention on your part but probably any leather conditioner would help to quicken the process. I've used some mink oil on my sleeve with good results. It darked the leather a bit temporarily, but with working the hide afterwards, the color gradually returned to what it was originally. Good luck. |

I ended up using the Apple Leather Conditioner on it this morning... put on a generous coat and rubbed it in, then about an hour later put on another generous coat and let it sit all day while I slept. Buffed it a bit with a towel when I woke up and it looks good as new.

Does anyone have the iPad Sleeve? Do you think the new, 33% thinner iPad2 will stay tight in the sleeve...or might it be too roomy?

Glad to see this thread is still going Haven't been round much lately. I tend to go hard on an obsession and then it dies off. I'm actually using my Kindle to read now  Must admit my SB obsession has worn off ( my wallet has sighed a big sigh of relief ) . In addition I was issued a new notebook that won't fit into my Medium Brief !!! It's now sitting up in the cupboard doing nothing. Used it for 6 months EVERY working day and now nothing. Good thing is that it's been replaced with ONE of my nice canvas Timbuk2 Messengers. Guess for a while I'll just have to make do with my SBL small wallet, phone pouch, Medium Kindle Pouch and Luggage Tags and keyrings. Hope everyone's well and enjoying their leather  |

What happened to all the Saddleback leather fans? This was such a nice thread.

I have a credit from when I returned the satchel and a moolala coupon I need to use up. I am thinking of ordering the tote in DCB or in tobacco. Leaning toward the DCB. I'm just wondering if it will be too heavy for me. I could order just a couple of pouches for my ipad, kindles, and iphone and I probably wouldn't have to expend more cash. What to do, what to do???

I have the small tote in dcb and i like it alot. There is no way i could have held on to the moola cash for this long. I am saving for the big wallet. I have the Ipad 1 case, a tobacco small satchel and a small wallet. They are coming out with new items in a few weeks so you may want to wait. Sleeves are boring. Get something really nice. Go for the tote. The small is not heavy. It weights 3 pounds and I don't carry a lot so it works for me.

Just got the $79 Kindle as a hold me over until I can decide between the Fire or just a more substantial Kindle (my K2 recently died after 3 years, may she rest in peace). I love these SBL sleeves but what size would be best for my Kindle? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would go with the medium. The small seems too small.
