I would say having the sleep/wake function is a must and it usually is a feature of all unofficial cases too since it is controlled by a magnet.

I own the official case as I just ordered it along with the Forma instead of looking online. I am usually not a huge fan of PU leather but the Kobo case PU leather is quite nice. The case allows it to sit in any orientation easily when it is folded. It will magnetically attach the cover to the back so it does not flop around and also will magnetically attach to the back when folded.

Looking at 3rd party cases like the MOSISO I am not sure how well I would like it. The two major differences I see in the photos are a much shinier PU leather and the edge with the buttons is not flush like the Official case. I would assume it has the same magnets as the official case so the front can attach to the back and when folded it will stay attached to the back too.

For me I am more in the lookout for a fabric case like I have for my Kindle Oasis and Fire but have not found any yet.

I tried a screen protector because as far as I can tell the screen is made of plastic but I removed it in less than a day because of light bleed along the edges of the screen protector was annoying and having a case should be enough for me.
