Hey all, someone mentioned rare earth magnets. But I found this item at Staples here in Canada... heres a link to the item

http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/ca...affixedcode=WW

What I did was break the 5 magents out of the holders and glue them into the pocket of my kobo cover. Right around the lower the right corner of the glo. It works perfectly. If you dont have a pocket in your cover I recommend just gluing the magnets with a small piece of felt to pad it so it does not damage your unit.

the total cost 2.56 + tax for the magnets and I allready had some crazy glue.

any way just an idea. The elastic strap covers are compatible with the glo.

regards

Jack
