My first Oberon cover is 13 years old and only has a little fading on the spine where I folded it back to read. Makes it heavier, but it is also very protective.
Smoky blue color. Wish it would fit a Kobo Sage.

There might be 8 and they add weight.
I'd like a mono Sage 2 without them and a bigger power cell, no power cover option. The power cover idea was a fail on the Kindle Oasis and is a fail on the Kobo Sage. Also more reliable buttons. It's useless for cue/narration. The original Libra is the only one with reliable buttons. The Libra 2, while better than the Sage for buttons, isn't reliable enough.

I don't have a Sage power cover. The Oberon cover hides the power button on the KLC, but I use the setting "wake device with page turn button". I seldom turn it off, but I can if I need to with the cover on.

Zoom in on the red cloud dragon cover photo. You can see that the left side's elastic is just a couple of millimeters stretched wider than the Oasis would be. Important that none of the device's edges will hit the floor if dropped. It works great for my Libra Colour. I notified Oberon so they may add the Libra Colour to the Oasis 2 and 3 list as a fit. Covers the power button, but smaller fingers can still reach it. I use page turn buttons to wake it up.
If ordering a cover, you can ask for a $5.00 stylus attachment. Not sure if it will work or not since it fits in the spine where the KLC overlaps a bit. Also, you can ask Oberon to tape the magnet inside instead of having it glued inside. Then you can move the magnet where you need to so it will work with the Libra Colour. You just need to send an email after you order. The magnet has to be moved about 2 inches up and to the left.
I think the Oberon PW cover may fit the Kobo Clara BW and Clara Colour, but I would have to check. I am trying to get Oberon to make more covers besides Kindles. I used Guido's ereader chart to figure out the sizes.
My favorite covers are Tree of Life, Van Goh Sky (my old blue cover), any of the Celtic ones, cloud dragon, teal paisley. They keep up with inventory on the website. If a specific pattern does not have your color, they may just be out of that color. Or maybe they didn't sell many and took the color option off.
You should see my red cloud dragon tote bag! Gorgeous!
