Played with the sleepcover all day and i couldn't get it to work at all - i opened/closed numerous times and nothing happened. So i called the shop and had another one replaced - this one was a touch more sensitive but still it wouldn't work with 100% reliability - lucky i wasn't using any of the LED lights - if i were the unit would have drained down in no time flat.

I then eventually found i could get better reliability if i somehow bend the middle part of the front cover towards the Kobo - so that the surface would come closer to the unit when it's closed - it worked much better triggering the sleep mode. But still it was not reliable enough - i believe the magnet in the Kobo Sleepover is extreme weak or my unit is faulty?

**update** found i could trigger the sleep mode when i close the cover and press lightly against the cover onto the unit - my fingers close to the right bezel edge. Otherwise the damn cover doesn't put the unit to sleep......arrrgh.....and i thought this was a technology product. My samsung and ipads covers successfully puts the tablets to sleep immediately upon closing the covers - why is this so difficult for the Kobos.
