My local JB has 2 covers - both are black leather book style covers with the "Kobo" name embossed on them. One has a light and they both have 4 bits of elastic to hold the Kobo in place. They both claim to be for the Touch but as they were both sealed I was unable to really examine them. There was a little hole to feel (and smell!) the real leather. From what I could see they appear to be well made cases but personally I remain unconvinced about whether I like the elastic bits.

I'm having a bit of a mind blank with the price - I think they were $29.99 and $39.00 (for the light) but I could be wrong.

EDIT: I went back again and checked the prices - they were $39.99 and $49.99 for the case with the light! A bit on the expensive side I think.
