Thanks for this. I just bought my Kobo glo refurbished a few weeks ago with a basic cover. I've been wanting the sleep cover, now with a little bit of effort I have one.

I happened to have the magnet already, using your advice I figured out where the magnet should go. then I used a 1/4 forstner drill bit (it drills flat bottomed holes) and a drill press to drill a hole on the inside of the cover just deep enough to press the magnet into it. It works great!
