I bought a leather Sleepcover for EUR44 from the FNAC on the Champs-Élysées on a recent trip to Paris. It's a hard life, I know.
On the plus side, it definitely protects the Glo and holds it in place securely. The leather also feels very nice, much nicer than the PU cover and worth the extra EUR10, in my opinion.
The front cover also folds all the way back. I was worried the clasp might be visually distracting when reading but in fact you can also fold it all the way back and it will hold in place at the rear because of its magnetism. I also think the way the Glo turns on and resumes at the page you were last reading when you open the cover and goes to sleep when you close it is brilliant - it feels very natural and removes one more obstacle between you and your book.
But I do have three quibbles. First, it seems a little buggy - the light does not always come back on when I open the cover, even if I set the light timeout to "never", and I've occasionally ended up a couple of pages ahead of where I left off. Second, you lose some of the tactile nature of the Glo. Yes, the leather is very nice but with the cover folded back you're holding felt, not leather. And third, the Sleepcover bulks up the Glo by about 5mm along each edge, which is a shame.
