Pictures of my new Oberon Ginkgo KDXg cover in red. I love it and am convinced I made the right choice of color and design for me. I took these in natural light from a nearby window and no flash. The color looks pretty true on my monitor. I'm so impressed with the suppleness of the leather. I've had stiffer ones for my K2. But this one is what I would call 'buttery' and folds back almost completely flat very easily. I included a picture of it folded back. It actually gets even flatter than in the pictures when I'm holding it in my hand. front:  open front:  full open back:  folded back:  I love this one so much, I'm looking at one for my iPad. |

I keep one of my charms on the table beside me while reading. For some reason, it being there bugs the heck out of my cat, so as soon as he sees it, he nudges it off the table (where he has taken up residence). So it has become a game with him. If I cant find it, sure enough, there it is, on the floor.
I bought a couple of extra charms so I could also put them on the borsa bella travel bag, and also some leather folio covers I had made up for travelling. The other charm is on the oberon cover bungee when I use it (currently in a different style cover though)

I don't know what I want to do with the charm yet. I'm afraid of putting it on cover bungie because I don't want to chance screen damage. Right now it's in a drawer but I'll find something to do with it...eventually.
I put mine on a chain and wear it as a necklace. |

I want to say thank you, but I should say Oberon thanks you.  But, thank you! |

Thanks, Carole. I thought you might like it.  This one has a very fine grain to the leather. What I mean is there is hardly any pebbling on the raised portions of the design. Some of the other covers I've had are heavily pebbled. I wonder if that has anything to do with the flexibility. |

I don't have a Celtic hounds, but I know that it is impossible to say because it depends on the particular piece of leather they use. Every one is different. My purple ROH was stiffer than the blue ROH I bought for my sister-in-law. It finally did bend back easily, but I had to work with it more. |

I just got a Celtic Hounds in wine for my K2 and it folds back really easily like DD's red Gincko cover. |

Thank you. I'm thrilled with it. Now I'm trying to decide which one I want for my iPad. I'm quite sure I want black. It just seems to go with the iPad. But, Black Roses or Black Bold Celtic?  I don't know. |

I don't know. I love my Black Sky Dragon for my k2i. Just HAD to say that, so you would at least think about it! LOL Here are the photos: http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,5446.msg443561.html#msg443561If I had to choose between only Black Roses or Black Bold Celtic I'd probably choose Black Bold Celtic, personally. |

Oh, that is a beautiful and very detailed design, Carole. I just am not a 'dragon' person.  I also don't care for butterflies or dragonflies. I think it's an insect and reptile thing with me. I don't know. |

I got the skin off ebay,( http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230458801924&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT ) Its skin number 167 I went through a lot of sites and ebay stores to find a color that would match my oberon pretty closely and this was the best I could find, also I thought the flowers on the cover were a lot like the ones on this skin Its my first skin so I was worried about botching it, but it was really easy to put on, and it doesn't leave finger prints either which I was a little worried about I am really happy with it all |

Oh wow, they have some really nice ones, and a nice price - thank you for the link! Too bad they don't have DX ones too, but I'm still going to save to my favorites. Maybe my husband would like me to change the skin on his K2 one of these days since he inherited it from me. I know what you mean about being nervous about putting the decal on perfectly - it really is much easier than I thought it would be too! |

I found their out of ebay link http://invisibledefenders.com/ They have dx kinds as well as many others, I didn't see the home bit at first and just found the web address for the instructions page on a sticker that was on the decal, but there is a whole range of nice stuff there. |

Oooh, you're trouble with a capital T lol. Thank you for finding the DX skins on their site! I still love my DecalGirl skin, but I love graphic florals, and this company has so many of them ....  |

Lol I'm trying to earn my enablers badge :0P I really loved the decal girl ones as well, but I couldn't quite match up the colors as well as I'd like, and after buying the cover and a light and everything else I didn't want to ask hubby for a custom decal as well lol (I also got some boots, a new phone and a little t.v for my pc room, I was so truly spoiled this birthday lol). I was pretty happy with the deal I got on ebay from those guys and the range was really good too, so I'm a happy camper |

Wow, that is stunning! I REALLY like it.
Which color is the cover? It is not matching either the blue or purple pictures on Oberon's site and on my monitor it could be either one.

Lol I'm biased, I love the purple Choosing my Oberon was such a hard task, I don't envy you lol. I am going to get a journal from them for my recipes soonish so I have to start comparing pics again lol. Last time my hubby almost chose for me, he said I was taking too long, I can imagine the look on my face when I tell him I need his help choosing a new Oberon |
