I Can Has A Cover!

Feb 15, 2014 22:18

After beavering away all year, and numerous instances of frogging (rip-it, rip-it), I now have a usable cover for my Pocketbook EBook Reader ( Read more... )

Clever you!!! Hey, I think that you might start business with your covers!!! It looks great and "usable" to me!

No no, making it a business would take ALL the fun out of it.

But I know! I was joking!:-):-)

I love this design, especially the colour and texture.

Vis a vis closure - you could steal the m-edge closure design, which is basically a large loop of elastic that holds both sides together.

looks like:

This is the one I got gifted from my Father in Law, including the pink cover. As I hate pink and didn't like the texture, I removed the pink cotton cover and recovered with denim from an old pair of jeans. I used a section still containing a back pocket for the front so I could have somewhere to put my reading glasses.

Thank you!

Interesting thought about the elastic loop, though I'm not sure it would work for mine, because of the wobbliness of the spine.

I think I need to make yet another attempt to improve the straps, because they keep slipping off. (sigh)

Something to stiffen the spine and straps perhaps starch or PVA glue? I had to tighten the top straps on my recovered ereader as the reader kept slipping out.
