If you do not know about the Oberon covers for the nook, you are missing out. Oberon Design is small company located in Santa Rosa, CA. All their leather products are hand crafted right in their shop. I first heard about Oberon when I got my Kindle. I never bought one for the Kindle, but I lusted over it for some time. While the covers are not inexpensive, the quality they bring is well worth the cost. When I got my nook, I knew I must have one. So for my birthday, my hubby ordered me just the one I wanted, Dragonfly Pond.
My cover arrived today. It was shipped in a priority box, and when I pulled it out, it was wrapped in a very simple, yet very pretty, brown paper. A free charm was also included.

The brown paper unwrapped …

to reveal a beautiful leather cover.

Inside the cover, was an “Owner Manual” …

Leather care instructions …

And some information on the company with extra elastics in case one breaks.

The interior has a pocket and a wool strip to protect the screen on one side. On the other side it has straps to hold the nook in. (The inside is black, even though this picture looks more brown.)

There are plastic inserts in each pocket, which help with stability, though you could take them out easily if you wanted to.

The design I chose doesn’t go across the whole cover, but the back is still nice looking.

The design on the front has great texture.

The nook fits perfectly inside.

And even has a nice profile when shut.

The cover folds back nicely without any cracking.

The straps do not cover any of the holes at the bottom.

Now for something fun.
If you are careful, you can open up one of the pockets and see where the metal ends are for the strap that wraps around the button to keep the cover clsoed.

If you poke one of the metal ends up (put your hand in the pocket, and carefully guide it up).

The strap will come off and you can add your charm to it.

Carefully poke the metal piece back down, and now you have an easier way to get the elastic off the button when opening your cover.

I love my new cover, it’s exactly what I needed for my nook. Be sure to check out all the other styles people are buying over at the boards.
Here are just two of the designs other members have gotten:
