Glo kobo glo snap backs

mystika1 · 03-23-2014, 08:48 PM

Hi,

Guess this is a stupid question. But...
I noticed that the kobo website sells snapbacks for the glo. I was under the impression that the backs could not be removed. Do the snap backs fit over the original backs or did they make some that were interchangeable?

I purchased the black glo about one month after it was released.

As far as I know, the snapback was only offered for the Mini.

Mini has easily removable outer back with the idea different color backs could be bought. This outer back also covers 4 screws holding inner back onto front and pin hole for resetting reader to factory firmware when used with on/off switch. Inner back also has normal plastic tabs that help hold inner back in place. Screws holding inner back looks to me makes the mini much more rigid than other Kobo readers.

I had recently noticed the different colour options available for the Glo, and they remind me very much of the Mini, but I never thought whether they were actually interchangeable or not... Just had a look on the Kobo site and LOVE this one, but both of the featured covers appear to be exactly that: they go on top of the existing cover.
