IF I fold it so that the corners are not lined up but misaligned by 1 cm it doesn't turn the reader off. But I NEVER use the cover this way anyway. So I wonder if it makes sense to go through hassle to get a working cover with a feature I will not use.
Would it not be feasible to fix it the same way I fixed the Gecko cover, by putting a small piece of metal behind the Kobo in the case, so it shields the folded-back magnet? That worked absolutely fine for me. It has to be a ferromagnetic metal, such as steel: I cut out a rectangle from the lid of a soup tin, and that worked beautifully. Wrap it in something soft, so it doesn't scratch the back of the Kobo.
