I didn't have any info to answer this, so I asked a case maker how long it would take them to get a new case out for a brand new device. Soft cases (like a leather zip case) can be designed and in production in only a few days. Hard cases can take 30 to 60 days 60 to 90 days.

I know of 2 cases for the Kobo Aura HD. One is the integrated sleepcover, and that was probably designed at the same time as the shell (hence the word integrated). The other is a soft leather case which didn't take very long to get into production.

Did I miss an accessory?
