I've just received my own Noreve cover. I can only describe it in one word:
WORTHLESS!
Oh, it's impeccably made, and the packaging is awesome, with the cover being in a sleeve, in a plastic wrap, in a box, in an envelope.
However:
- I have specifically asked Noreve TWICE OVER if the cover would stay shut, even if I chose the version without a clasp:
Question, second time around:
Quote:
Dear ***,
Thanks for your quick answer.
Maybe I'm not clear enough. What I would like to know is:
Will the cover that does NOT have a clasp stay closed?
Thank you for your time, and sorry for the trouble.
Kind regards,
***

Dear Customer,
Thank you for your message. YES, even without clasp the cover will
stay closed due to the magnetic fastener.
I wish you a very good day,

Well, it DOESN'T stay shut. This makes it completely unusable for me, as it is not being pressed shut in my bag; if I put it in my bag like that, it will open and turn the reader on.
- Second: When folded back, the reader shuts off into sleep mode. That is unusable. The wake/sleep magnet is too strong. (And no, I'm not going to jack around with magnet-blocking materials behind the back of the e-reader. This is a €60 cover. If a magnet-block was needed, it should have been in there already.)
- Third: With the slightest amount of pressure on the lower left corner, the reader pops free.
I have rarely been that disappointed in a product. This cover doesn't meet any of the expectations I had of it.
I'm going to see if I missed something. If I didn't, I'm going to send this message to Noreve support and request a refund. I'll go for either a Gecko cover, or even a cheap cover from eBay. If this was such a cover, I would have already thrown it away as returning it would not be economical, but throwing away a €60 cover is a bit too much.
