Hi,

I'm purchasing two of those new open box original (i.e. not edition 2) non HD Kobo Auras. Planning to get some sort of cover or case mostly for protection for them. The vendor I'm buying them from also has the official silver sleepcover for CAD15 (~USD11.40). I'm hoping it won't add much to the shipping. Assuming it doesn't is a fairly good price for an official sleepcover. I've seen one review which found it a decent sleepcover.

I'm particularly wondering how people found the official sleep cover compares to the eBay/AliExpress etc alternatives. Even with the lowish price, it looks like those covers will be under half the price of the official one, shipped to NZ.

But I'm still leaning towards the official sleepcover since I would hope it's a resonable amount better. So given the fairly low price (and even given Aura is also a fairly low price) is hopefully worth it.

But still interested in hearing opinions. So far the only commentary I found comparing them was that their magnets may be stronger and they also lack a lip both combined making them harder to open. Of course if anyone wants to recommend some other cover or case, you're welcome although I'd be reluctant to spend much more than USD15 including shipping to NZ for a single cover.

Cheers
