Which third party cover is causing page turns? I don't remember any mention of this anywhere. And my reading of the third party covers that don't put the device to sleep is that it is the covers fault. The ones I can think of were that the cover is lose enough that it doesn't always position the magnet in the right place. If the cover lines up properly, the device will go to sleep.

I really hope Kobo is fixing this with the next firmware upgrade.
I know Kobo are looking at it, but I'm not convinced there is a good solution. Part of the problem with the official cover is how part of the cover can touch the screen before the part with the magnet. I don't know how you can detect a touch like that while still having the correct sensitivity for normal touches.
