It could go wrong if you snap it shut really, really fast. With my Kindle, that doesn't matter, because the lid of the cover will never touch the screen. The screen's sunken in, and the cover covers the bezels as well, so there's at least a few mm of space between the lid and screen when closed.

That half an inch away bit is the reason I turned off the sleep cover functionality: it reacted on the sleep cover of my Samsung tablet. Whenever I put it near the Kobo, that one would turn on or off (depending on what state it was in). I also had that problem with my H2O, but to a lesser extent.
