As for those talking about the price, my justification was that the Noreve cases are not much more than the official Kobo sleepcover cases, but the quality is several orders of magnitude better. Furthermore I felt more comfortable about dropping 50 or 60 GBP for a Noreve case than a cheap case because I knew I'd be getting a top quality piece. That was my reasoning. Yours will undoubtedly be different.


Actually, I would have purchased a Noreve case (based upon my previous experience with these excellent cases), but it would have arrived in the U.S. after I had left and returned to Peru. Unfortunately, the additional cost of shipping to Peru would have been prohibitive.

So, in the meantime (and to keep my Aura HD protected), I bought a different case that arrived while I was still in the U.S.

Those Noreve cases are so wonderfully made, that I urge everyone to visit their site and look over what they have to offer - and not just for Kobo products, either.
