I don't remember which cover had the ferrite sticker; the Forefront or the Moko. I put down a review for both of them. One of them didn't work at all (no sleep function); that was *NOT* the one with the ferrite sticker.

The one with the ferrite sticker worked when folding the cover back (reader stayed on), but was unreliable when closing the reader (not always putting it to sleep). Maye the new firmware made it more reliable. I don't know.

PS: A ferrite sticker is a magnet block/dispersion, so the reader doesn't see the sleep magnet through the back of the cover. I've searched for it, but I can't find them anywhere. Maybe they have a different name. I call them ferrite stickers because they are stickers (duh), and contain ferrite.
Well, I have a cheap chinese cover from ebay (posted the link before, but if you want I'll look it up again) and it works just fine including sleep mode. Very incidentally it is awake, but as I put it in my bag it might be opening/closing accidentally every now and the causing the issues.

So it CAN work just fine... Just recently put the new fw on my kobo btw so have yet to test that more extensively (but the few days I have it installed it all seems to work fine)
