I never cared for sleeves for any device, personally. But it's not about price at all (if you can spare the money, naturally). For me, it's mostly function. And I'll pay for function with an awesome look
I was all ready to buy a gecko cover (didn't care for the original kobo cover at all) except that it wasn't a slimfit cover. Which is the "function" I wanted. Combine that with some quality leather cover and I'm hooked...

My wallet ws more expensive! But then, it's also real (Dutch) leather

One of the reasons I can buy covers (and readers) any time I want, at almost any price point is because I don't buy a €700 mobile phone every other year, and don't smoke or drink.
Sixty Schmixty. It's all priorities.

True that. And only every other year? When I hear some people talk, they buy one every year! I think I'll stick with my €700 mobile phone (yes, I splurged last year, but only because I really wanted that 5.5" screen and boy am I happy I didn't wait for the Galaxy Note 7, which was on my wishlist as well...) for a few more years to come.

Oberon covers are nice looking, but they really should get on the ball and start creating slim-fit ones; or at least ones that support the wake/sleep function and don't need elastic bands to hold the reader in.

True! Those covers are awesome, but those elastic bands...
