I bought a "book style" case from the same company-kwmobile:

It had the same problem--when I folded the cover back in my normal reading position the sleep magnet would activate and turn the reader off. Otherwise I really liked the cover. I was able to solve the problem by putting a cheap thin piece of magnetic shielding between my reader back and the case:

Completely solved the problem and now I really like my kwmobile case. I realize this is something I shouldn't have had to do, but it does work.
