Absolutely love this -- and the Villa Riviera is one of my favorite buildings in LB. So happy to see the building renovated the last time I was in town.

Haven't tried any of the Samsungs, but I've had a Brother 2170W for several years, and it's perfect for my infrequent printing needs. It even lived under the couch until I moved to a bigger apartment.

I've no experience with the Pad+Quill cases (they didn't make the style I liked for the original iPad), but I have a Dodocase. It's beautiful, but the bamboo has not held up well over the past year. It's taken 2 short tumbles off my nightstand (thank you, cats!) and each time the bamboo has cracked and broken. I've re-glued it each time, and I have had to re-glue the rubber corners too many times to count.

I recently got a case from RookCase, and while the exterior isn't as nice as Dodo, the interior frame is much sturdier.

Hmm, maybe Unpluggd should do a comparison of the book-style cases out there?

@cyberval: it's a little high for the area, but it was also the nicest remodel I saw. There were a couple other units in the same building in the 735 sq ft range, with asking prices of $225k and $235k. Us commenters would probably rather save $50k and remodel a place to our tastes, but I'm sure a lot of people would prefer a place that required no upgrades at all.

Such an excellent use of space! I checked out this place during my recent real estate quest, and was amazed by the attention to detail and serene feel. (looks like it's still for sale, if anyone is interested?)
