I have now made peace with my Libra Colour and bought a Libra 2 (actually a Tolino Vision 6) sleep cover for it for less than half the prize of a 'proper' LC cover. As was said here in the forum about half the USB port of the LC is obscured by the Tolino cover but a cutter knife quickly rectified that problem.
Now waiting for the firmware patches to be completed to make the device fully functional
