Thanks. It looks the same as all the other (cheap) covers. It's a slim fit cover. The ones with a flap to which I refer are the slide-in covers, that cover the bezels, like the Gecko Covers one. I want a flap on those so the reader doesn't slip out of it.

1. If you fold this cover backward, as far as it'll go, will the reader stay awake?
2. If you just close the cover, without paying attention if it aligns perfectly well, does the reader always go to sleep, reliably, and without turning pages?
3. If you close the cover, and then turn the reader upside down (back up, lid down) does the cover stay shut? (That is, does it make use of the magnets in the ONE's frame to keep the lid shut?)

I *think* it's the same cover as the Forefront one which I got at around €12 or so, but if this one is reliable, doesn't turn the reader off when folded backward, and stays shut on its own, I'll give this one a go.

I'd be glad if you could check this.

If everything works, then the only problem the KA1 will have is the screen which isn't aligned straight; there's the gap between the screen and the bezel on the left, which isn't there on the right, but I think I can live with that.
