Just received a cream coloured "official" Kobo Glo HD Sleepcover.

It's a very nice cover now that I've spent more time with it. When folded back the magnetic clasp does a very good job at hold the small flap against the large flap. It holds well with either the big flap over the small flap or vice versa.

Here's the rub:

I tried the black one at the store again. As it turns out, the black sleepcovers are less flexible then the cream coloured ones. The magentic clasp does hold the small flap against the big one, but not as well as the cream coloured one primarily because the black sleepcover's material is more "springy" and doesn't fold as flat as the cream coloured one.

Weird, huh? I suspect that the cloth material inside the sleepcovers is different given that they are different colours (ie. different dyes and perhaps different material used to manufacture it).

I suspect over time, the black one will likely wear in and lie as flat as the cream coloured one too.

I'm planning to return the cream coloured one as I think the black works better for me because the darker interior contrasts less with Glo HD and is less distracting to my eyes.
