I'm too cheap to pay $50 for the Kobo sleep cover & there will probably be cheaper solutions in time. However I didn't want my Aura One to be "nekked" so I modified an iPad Mini case for it. The height was a very good fit (case corners were a little rounder), but the width was too short. I used a Dremel tool to cut off the outside edge of the case's back, used two sticky pads I had to keep the reader firmly in place. Not a perfect solution but it works for now. Serendipitously the iPad's camera hole on the back matched closely with the KA1's on/off switch.

If interested, the sticky pads were a 'Kickstarter' project I supported. Their name is "Stikk" - a unique re-usabledouble sided gel pad that will stick anything to everything.

See pictures of front, open, and back-with notes.
