I recently went to my favorite art supply/fine pen store (Guiry's in University Hills, for those of you in Denver, CO) to buy a checkbook cover. I can hear you asking already, "What does this have to do with Palm handhelds?" Everything, of course--I was looking for an Oberon Designs checkbook cover.
For those of you unfamiliar with Oberon Designs (at http://www.oberondesign.com), they make a range of leather-goods--mostly things like card cases, checkbook covers, and journal covers. Oberon released their Palm handheld cases to retailers in early May, and I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
Oberon Designs leather-goods are beautifully embossed. They're nothing like those cheesy "Western" belts you may be thinking of. They are also sturdily crafted and built to last. I've been using an Oberon checkbook cover for the past three years, and it still looks brand new.
The cherry red case I bought features an abstract, Art Deco floral motif
