Hi again!

When I bought my Aura I bought the original case, since they were making an offer. Now that I have it I don't regret my decision at all, it gives the device a much more executive look and overall it really fits well. The thing is the issue of when I turn the cover all the way back.

See, when I do this because of the strenght of the magnet it locks the device as if it were touching the screen, only it is not. I have been using it with the sleep cover option turned off, but it's really handy to open and close and it turniing on and off on its own. What I do now is put my finger between covers so there's a space between.

Anyone else having this problem and did you find a way to fix it?

Thanks!

SOLUTION

I find it strange that it worked, but I can't deny the evidence. I figured as the magnet field was too strong maybe something I put between the device and magnet that could alter this would solve it, by influencing the field. Another magnet. I looked at home for one of those thin weak magnets, rubber-like, and found one that was just the fit.

Here are some pictures:

Kobo with cover and no solution, it stands on the table after turning on and because the cover is turned back it automatically goes to sleep.

Here I am putting the tinfoil in place, it's so thick that it actually becomes hard to hear the snap.

It works to some extent, but when holding the device the result is the same, it goes to sleep.

This is the one with the magnet, notice how small and thin it is, you won't even know it's there.

The end result is this, I am actually pressing the cover hard against the back so that you can see that it really works that well!

Mind the fact that I have tried this with three similar magnets and only this one worked. So if it doesn't work for you at first try it with a different one and maybe it will then.

Sorry for the long discussion and thank you all for the sugestions!
