Unusual cases for the Kindle 2

I’ve been searching around for something different for my Kindle 2 and found two suppliers. The Amazon case is quite nice, fits securely using a completely different system than the original case, and is quite thin. However, it is boring. I found these two in my RSS feed from the Amazon Kindle Community:
Strange Dog, above, has an extremely attractive line of cases that are hand made by the seller. They run $24.95 and he seems to change the design monthly. According to the post they are always sold out, and this is currently the case.
Oberon Design has an absolutely breathtaking line of 18 leather cases, each one being more attractive then the last. A picture of one is below. They run $75 and all of them are in stock.
Neither of the manufacturers uses the Amazon patented attachment system, so you will have to make do with clips and velcro or elastic.

Strangedog cases are all about the timing. They are worth waiting for so interested parties should check back often1
Borsa Bella is another great independent vendor who has put together a really nice selection of Kindle stuff.
Bought one of the refurbished Kindle 2 units at Amazon.com and I think they are pretty good for the money paid (no complaints so far). I did have a hard time finding a case for it since it is an older model. However, found a small company that makes a pretty good sleeve for this unit and sells them for only $8.95 with free freight at http://www.nuvo-tek.com.
By the same token, if anyone knows of where I can buy a case (not a sleeve) that is a good fit for this Kindle unit.
Thanks,
