I put a sleepcover (which is very pleasant to use) but it did not eliminate the issue completely. I now hear the sleepcover's little noises 
I try to live with it because I love the screen... Damn that screen... The light is well balanced and the text is perfectly black. Very high contrast! Plus, I migrate to koreader and it blows my mind. Beside being so easy, customisable, pdf-friendly and fast, it also has much much better kerning (which I am obsessed about).
Anyway, overall build quality (back plate, buttons, etc.) is not so good (not bad either). I think Kobo made all its investments to the screen. Obsessions about clicks, flexes leave our mind throughout the time but the screen/display quality is the best of all worlds for me. |
Backplate on my Libra 2 was great when i got it, but i took Libra apart to fix squeaky next page button (which i fixed), and back plate now flexes, but it doesn't bother me as much as squeaky button did.
