Proud owner of a new (well, slightly-used) Kobo Sage. Currently it's sitting naked in a tablet sleeve, but I'm considering getting a case for it. However, I really like how it feels in the hand, and I'm worried the case might add too much heft to make it comfortable to hold for long periods of time.

I have a Clara HD and the official Sleepcover case, and I've noticed that the Clara HD w/case feels heavier than the naked Sage, despite the size difference. So I do worry about how much weight a standard sleepcover case might add (won't even consider the Powercover).

Can anyone with a Sage offer their experience? Is it still comfortable to hold with a standard snap-case? Or am I better off just using a sleeve?

Thanks!

(As an aside, am I crazy, or do the Sage page-turn buttons fail to register like every tenth button press?)
