M.bian Moleskine Case Meets Rickshaw's Mark Dwight

In Responses to M.bian Moleskine Case, Mark Dwight posted a reply that he could help.  In several quick exchanges, I found that he was about to come to Hong Kong and we immediately set up a meeting.
Mark was actually the CEO/investor of Timbuk2 from 2002 to 2006, who sold the company to private equity investors and left along side with Rob Honeycutt, the founder of Timbuk2, to establish a new company called Rickshaw Bagworks.  Rickshaw means human power and Mark is going to launch the first bag with Rob in early 2008.  The first appearance will be in TED conference, which Rickshaw sponsors the official conference bag to be handed out to attendees (each style has exactly two copies, so you will be so lucky to meet a person carrying the same bag design out of the thousand attendees).  Mark is going to have 10 minutes talks to the audience about how Rickshaw uses recycle materials to create its bags - from bottle to bag.
We had a long chat about bag features and Mark went into so many technical details about how to make a great bag from recycle materials.  Finally we came to discuss the M.bian case.  I told him the reasoning behind the case, while he made many input about usability and suggested to concentrate on simple features rather than trying to be too many things at the same time.  Next move, some sample materials from him and we hope to do something good for the community.  To date, there is not one single case specifically designed for Moleskine which is more than just a cover IMHO, I hope we can create something great with style.
