However the top cover is very flexible, just gently pressing your finger against the cover you'll see it bow inward towards the screen. If you throw your readers into backpacks or purses where something could be putting any amount of pressure against the front cover, this is not the cover for you. The front piece just isn't sturdy enough.
The 2nd case by Sparin looks to be identical to the Omoton case.

Thanks, Ripplinger. I saw your reviews as well as the others and appreciate them.
I am migrating from Mantano Reader/Calibre Companion on a Nexus 7. I miss Mantano but really like the clarity and simplicity of the Kobo reader. Getting epubs from Calibre to the Kobo has to via USB but otherwise is painless. Kobo works in daylight and is generally much easier on the old eyes. My Nexus 7 does not like to be away from a charger for more than 6-7 hours. Kobo doesn't know what a charger is...
The cover I have is stiff enough and I am really very easy on my gadgets.
I was just wondering if the Kobo felt/handled better in the covers without the extra tab on the RHS. I will just get the Omoton or Sparin case and report back here. BTW my Kobo cover covers the paperclip reset hole, but I have no problem removing the device from the cover or doing the dremel tool trick on the cover with the device removed of course.
