Would love to see the option to "Resume from Standby" by pressing or holding the "HOME" button on the front.
I had one of those book style covers and had the same problem. IMHO that case with the four elastic straps is one of cheapest, ugliest solutions for a case ever. My solution: I used two bands of velcro, one for the top and one for the bottom to hold the Kobo Touch to the inside back of the cover and very carefully snipped off the four bands. They are just sown in to the cover and if you are careful you can remove virtually all traces of the elastic. The Kobo T stayed put, the power switch was much easier to get at, and it was a whole lot more attractive. BTW if you ever want to take off the sticky velcro tape, it came off the Kobo without leaving a trace of adhesive.

I found a much better solution though. There is a newer book style case that the Kobo just slips into. I had to enlarge the hole at the bottom just a bit to get the syncing/power cord to fit, but it is a smart, attractive, professional looking case. Not cheap, but then the other one wasn't especially cheap either.

Hope this helps.
