Radian Covers... Manhattan or Granite?

unityco · Jun 5, 2008

What's the difference between the Manhattan and Granite Radian covers? I briefly had a Granite - it was fake-suede-y. Is the Manhattan similar?

Thanks!

I love my Manhattan (I have both). It's plush. It doesn't show dirt like the granite and is much easier to clean than the granite. I ended up replacing my granite with a Princess cover and now just have it as a spare. Furthermore, I like the head pillow that comes with the Manhattan and felt that the extra $$$ I spent for the Radian 80 was well worth it simply for the fabric and pillow.

I have the Manhattan but I've seen/felt the Granite, and they're pretty different. The Manhattan is more velvety, I guess. Fake suede-y is a good way to describe the Granite!

When we first got the Radian, it was one of the things we couldn't keep our hands off of. It was "Oo, look, a place to store the LATCH hooks - and OH this soft cover - check out this chest clip, it's weird - mmm... soft cover - and did you see this? Yeah, I saw that! *rubbing cover*"

The first time I encountered a Granite IRL I was shocked, because the color is the same, yk? I was like "Ooo... this isn't like my cover, not at all. Why did SK change it?" I didn't realize there was a difference at the time.
