We have 3 Kobo's in our house, and 2 of them have the Skin Digital real leather book style cases:

The third one has a CaseCrown, which is essentially a synthetic material clone of the Skin Digitals:

These are all very high quality, extremely well designed, and SD's are the lowest cost you're going to find for a real leather case, very highly recommended! Mind you, no light included, but the design is intended to allow the front cover to fold back on itself and lock in place with the closure clip, leaving a 1/4" gap between the back cover and the folded back front one. Then you can clip on any brand of LED style light to the cover you want without interference or fear of damaging your screen, and it's very secure without flopping around and falling off.

We use these ones, but purchased from Costco in 2-packs for $13CDN;

An added plus is that these cases (both the SD's and CC's) are specifically designed for the Kobo Touch, with a proper solid frame that securely holds the device in without covering any switches or ports.

All of the competing devices that use elastic strap look so cheap and homemade! And in most cases the straps cover the power switch and SD card slot so using them is a pain.
