I've just received the Odyssey cover for the H2O. It's actually an Aura HD cover, but fits the H2O absolutely fine. The bottom edge is open, which means that you have free access to the cover of the USB slot, which is good.

The cover provides a very good level of protection - you could drop a brick onto it and it wouldn't damage the reader - so it's good from that point of view. The magnetic sleep/wake works fine, too. The downside is that it's extremely thick: about 2.4cm thick, with the Kobo in it; a fraction under 1". So it converts your slim reader into an object the size (although not the weight, it has to be said) of a rather thick paperback book.

I'll keep it for the present - I think it's good value for money for the price - but I'm going to look around for something rather slimmer. Perhaps the official Kobo sleepcover?
