Still waiting for my device and the sleep cover to arrive, but I can say that I've used the Kobo sleep cover for my Kobo devices since they've been available (years now for the models I've purchased) and they work extremely well.
My forma and sleep cover were purchased on release in 2018, and they've both travelled extremely well. The device itself is well protected within the sleep cover, and the cover still looks and feels reasonably new.
I rarely turn off my device, I don't have wifi turned on, and the sleep cover does what it says, it puts the forma to sleep when the cover is closed (maintaining whatever screen I left it on).
When you open the screen cover the device is very responsive and you can start reading immediately.
I've never found a battery drain on the ereader using the cover, and consider my forma at 3 years old to be just as battery efficient as new. Well, clearly I suppose there must have been some degradation, but I don't notice it, and I use my ereader on a daily basis usually (I have to think about days I don't open it, and it's really hard to pinpoint any, but surely there must be some days I don't read from the device)
My forma has the folding sleep cover that makes a stand, and that's what I've ordered for the libra 2.
As you can tell, I recommend the Kobo sleepcover
