I think that would be a pain to duplicate, although you could.
I presume the close-to-sleep is like the other devices that I have.
It's just a magnet sensor on the bottom edge somewhere.

The Poke5, Go6 covers have a core of 0.050" (1.25 mm) plexiglas.
Embedded in that are magnets of the same thickness.
Then the leather-like material sandwiches this.
I was going to make my own. I laid out the design, never found the right plexiglas.
Yes there are 3 contact points on the inside near the buttons. I figured it was very unlikely for there to be third parties because of this. It's such a convenient addition, to me the reader feels incomplete without it, and they are rather fragile.

I feel like someone with skill could repurpose an existing case by reattaching the plastic bit that houses the buttons and contacts into a new cover made of higher quality materials. But I have no idea how I would find someone that can do it.
