Which still renders the cover effectively useless if it’s only giving approximately 10% of the full charge of the Sage. I haven’t seen much in the way of reviews for this cover but those I have had all been consistent in saying that it behaves as Sirtel described, which is good and bad. Bad because clearly it wasn’t ready for prime time, but good because it’s possible that it’s something that can be fixed. Though it might be a Forma lightbar issue where there’s something fundamentally wrong with the design causing the issue*.

I’ll agree with you it shouldn’t be 10% to 10% unless the battery in the cover is bigger since there’s going to be some loss in the charging process. But as it is I wouldn’t want to buy the case now and hope Kobo resolves the issue since it’s not a minor bug, rather it’s one that effectively makes the case pointless.
