Hi all, I'd wanted to make a slip cover for the Forma but couldn't figure out exactly where I need to put magnets on the cover to send it to sleep when I put it in the slip and wake it up when I take it out. With a bit of experimentation I've found that the location of the hall effect 'sleep' switch is 6cm from the top of the device and 7cm in from the left (with the device held so the buttons are on the right and the kobo logo bottom right as you look at it).

So, all you need to do is attach a magnet in this position to your cover and when its (effectively) resting on the screen in that location the device will sleep, and removed, it will wake up. Saves you having to press that on switch and accidentally switching the device off....
