I’ll be sure to post once it arrives so you’ll have a better idea of actual shipping time. They gave an estimated delivery date of June 24 but I’m sure it’s gonna be here before that, 2-9 business days from when it shipped is June 16.

I ordered a Clara HD from Walmart, a place I never patronize, because it was on sale for $90 plus tax. But it never showed up and is now backordered with no ETA. I'm thinking that whatever inventory vendors have now for that device is all they'll ever have. Maybe a new model is imminent, perhaps the rumored Nia. With the pandemic, it's hard to get direct info, even to the degree that they'd normally give it, from any of these companies.
So I've been looking into alternatives with Indigo being an appealing one. Their customer service phone number is down because of the pandemic, too. I see that it would be $118 delivered, pretty much the same as Walmart's original price, but minus the tax. Not nearly as good as the sale price, but I'd feel better than I'd feel buying from Walmart.
Back to something resembling the original post, I already have the Kobo branded case for the Clara HD, which I'll return if I never get the device. It feels solid and the reading stand, which is not the origami style, is pretty stable and usable. Aesthetically, it's not exciting, but it would appear that it'll do the job. I've never bought any of these covers for any device that was all that durable. I got a pricey name brand one for an iPad that didn't hold up much better than the Amazon ones do.
