The idea from Maggie from Koeln:

Hello,

I would like two interchangeable kitenge cloth covers for my e-reader case, acting like a book cover. The main colours of the kitenge should be red for one cover, and dark green for the other. There should be an elastic band in the seam around the cover to hold it in place.

Since the reader and case have curved edges, the dimensions aren't constant throughout, so I will list the maximum. When open, the dimensions are 25 cm x 17 cm and when closed, 12 cm x 17 cm. The thickness of the e-reader is 1 cm. Please see the attached sketch and photos.

Thank you and best regards,
Maggie

Hello Maggie,
Thank you for the feedback I have a rough template I made of the cover. Just to get it right. Am still trying to get the finer details before I can quote a price as logistics companies differ on pricing.
Thank you and have a good day.

Hello Judy,
Thank you for the sample book covers you provided. It is mostly within the scope, just one note: on the right side it should not cover any part of the screen. So the inside part on the right needs to be narrower, but the cover should have something to hold it in place so it will not fall off while the reader is in use.

That is the only remark on my end, otherwise I have no problem with the quoted cost.
Thank you and have a good evening.

Hello Maggie,
Hope you are well on your end.sorry for the miscommunication , I get your idea completely but when you say the right side of the cover should not cover any part of the screen what do you mean ? The cover will be definitely light but hold.
That is my only query. I apologize for the late response.
Thank you and have a good day .

Hello Judy,

By the screen, I mean the part with the white background where the words appear while reading should not be blocked, but the black plastic edge is fine if covered. If it can hold while not obstructing the words, that will be great. I wasn't sure from the sample images if that was clear, so I just wanted to clarify.

Thanks, have a good day too.
