Well, the subject says it all.

I had the feeling that the magnetic clip cover was causing a battery drain in my Kobo Clara HD, yesterday I had a quick test and can confirm it:

* two hours in stabdby with the magnetic clip cover: battery down from 100% to 92%
* twelve hours in standby without cover: battery down to 91%

So, at the moment I am using it without cover. I was wondering, has anybody else experimented this? May it be due to a bad cover build, or should I give up the use of a cover?
