Personally I won’t use it as a stand as I always hold my ereader when reading so I’m not interested in how it functions as a stand just as a case.

Any other thoughts on it are welcome, like how much bulk or weight does it add, how good is the sleepcover aspect, does it bypass the need to swipe up in 4.11.11911, etc
I can't find anything that documents the weight of the cover on its own but per the Indigo web site the shipping weight for the cover is .37lbs (168g), so I would guess the cover is maybe 2/3 of that weight, something around 100+g so about half of the weight of the Forma itself. Someone who owns the cover and has a decent scale to weight it on needs to check it and let us know.

I checked the covers out at Indigo earlier this evening and it does look and feel nice, but $60 CAD for a cover just seems like too much, no hurry for me anyway as I am still waiting on my replacement device to ship from Kobo.
