Love it! Just wish the edges came finished
Overall very pleased. I do leather work myself so I was interested to see how it was crafted. The template used is very simple, which I sure allows the maker to crank them out fast. Despite the simple design and lines, it truly does work out well both aesthetically and functionally. I was surprised by the weight when I first picked it up. My first thought was, this weighs more than twice my reMarkable…  However, after using it for a week now I don’t even think about it.<br /><br />My only complaint was the very unfinished, 90 degree edges, and there are A LOT of edges on this piece. Even a rudimentary burnishing would have been nice. I understand it is described as “rustic” but IMHO, leather edges should always be at least burnished. I tried to like the rustic rough edges for a day but couldn’t stand them. I ended up rounding the edges, doing a quick burnish, and applying a single layer of clear edge kote. Seeing the after effect really made me appreciate this piece and now I’m proud to set it on the table at any meeting.
