I emailed Noreve customer service and asked if they would be making a cover for the Kindle Touch and their response is they will NOT be making one. Boo hoo! I ordered the non-lighted Amazon cover for it but I sure wanted to get a Noreve, it's still my favorite Kindle cover. They will be making a cover for the Fire, but not the Touch.

I have a tablet but don't use it for reading and it only has a slip cover. I think the love factor in the nor eve is when you read a book because you hold it in your hands but with a tablet I find it rest it on a prop and my hands are constantly typing. I did however much prefer the noreve on my k2 than my k3.

I ordered the Amazon cover for it, but really wanted a Noreve. I like my Noreve for my K3 but I do think they changed up the colors between the K2 and the K3. I had a purple one for the K2 and bought a purple one for the K3 and it was not the same purple. The one I used all the time now on my K3 is the platinum one and I truly love it.

Sorry you won't be able to get a Noreve for your Touch. Maybe they will reconsider later. Are they making one for the Nook Touch?
But glad to hear they are doing one for the Fire. I can add that to my options for a preferably leather cover that will fold back completely. But since this is my first tablet I will have to see how I use it before deciding what cover will be best. At least I will be able to use my CoylCushions yet.
Thanks Patricia.

That is really a shame. I'm not sure if I am going to get a Kindle Touch, Kindle Lite or both, but wanted to get a Noreve for it because they are so light weight and nice to hold. I was hoping they would go back to the K2 design.

It's funny how a Noreve announcement flushes out the same people again after a few quiet times!  |

According to their website, they ARE making a cover for the baby K (Kindle 4), though. Hooray! I think. I've had such bad luck with their customer service recently, but I do LOVE their covers.

Yes, I saw that, and it also says they'll be making on for the Fire. Wonder why not the Touch?? |

I got an e-mail that the Kindle 4 cover will be available in two to three weeks. Kindle 4 and Kindle Fire, I wonder why no Touch? I found this on their website, doesn't look like it will be the K2 design.  For Amazon Kindle 4 Characteristics - Elegant case conceived in top quality handcrafted leather - Practical thanks to its snap closure - Slim and padded design - Built-in rail system to hold the device without compromise - Access to basic functions (multiple openings on the leather) - Protects the device in an optimal manner - Complete travel wallet on the left side opening - Three business or credit card slots - Two interior slip pockets, holds your cash, passport or travel tickets - Possibility of holding the device in an upright position |

Michelle, I agree, why are they making it for the Kindle 4 and the Fire, but not the Touch?? I would order another platinum one in a minute.

Platinum not pink?  Maybe when the Touch comes out they will decide to make one. It makes no since to make a cover for two out of the three new Kindles. I just checked, they don't have one for the Nook Simple Touch. I wonder why they don't like touch.  |

I think they changed the colors after the K2. They still call them the same colors but they look different to me. I loved the purple for the K2 and bought one for the K3 but didn't like it as well. I still love the platinum.

I can't speak for them but we were not going to do a touch cover and after many customer requests we finally did. They do not sell well and are actually one of the least popular items we have. Im guessing that is the same issue.
We are doing covers for the touch and the Fire but won't do a cover for the Kindle 4, only a sleeve right now

I'm curious about this, why do you think the Touch covers don't sell well? Wonder why people wouldn't want a cover for their Touch the same as they want a cover for all their other Kindles? |

I wonder if that will apply to the Amazon Touch or if that was just something unique with the B&N Touch. I have no idea how sales were for this so maybe that could be one factor or it could be the covers that B&N sold for it were more appealing. It might also be a different demographic/comsumer for that product. I know my step-daughter has a Nook and has never heard of Noreve or Oberon. She would buy what they offered at B&N and not look elsewhere. |

Okay, so Oberon is is making a cover for the Touch and not K4 (so far). Noreve is making a cover for the K4 but not the Touch (so far). This makes figuring out which cover to buy for which Kindle much easier.  |

And I just wanted to mention I'm sort of glad I got my first Kindle way back when there was only A Kindle, I mean only one single Kindle to buy. I would so totally confused if I was just starting out now, there are so many options available |

But I'm not getting a K4, did you get one? I don't have time to use one right now, so I plan to get one when my job finishes. The Touch will probably arrive around the same time and I can see which one I like better. I really want page button on the bezel which is making the K4 tempting as an out and about Kindle. Or maybe just use my K3 as the out and about Kindle and keep the Touch at home... And I just wanted to mention I'm sort of glad I got my first Kindle way back when there was only A Kindle, I mean only one single Kindle to buy. I would so totally confused if I was just starting out now, there are so many options available I know! My mom wants a Nook or Kindle for Christmas and I have no idea which Kindle to get her. 3G or Wifi only? Ads or no ads? Touch, Keyboard, or very light weight. Graphite, white or grey? |

That's the way I took his response too. That's what I thought as well. The Nook Touch is thicker and might be easier to hold without a case than the Kindles which might make Nook covers sell less. If I made eReader covers, I think I would want my line to include all current Kindle models, since it is the most popular eReader. |
