Been looking for an alternative to the expensive kobo sleepcover. Please share your experiences with 3rd party covers for the H2O v2.

So far I've seen the following 3rd party covers:

KW Mobile

Found on amazon, ebay, aliexpress.

Seems to come in many variants. There are canvas covered variants, some with a metal clasp on the front cover. As well as faux leather or colorful patterned covers. It seems that even though they advertise as having a magnet, they don't function as sleep covers, as the magnet only works to hold the cover down.

Generic Brand 1

Found on amazon, ebay, aliexpress.

This one comes in several different colors and advertises as having sleep cover functionality. It is distinguishable by the thick black border on the back cover.

Forefront

Seems to be a British brand, found on amazon.co.uk and ebay.

This one comes in two variants. A folding standup origami cover, and a plain flat cover. Both advertise sleepcover functionality and are distinguished by the cursive F embossed on the front cover.

ACDream

Found on ebay and amazon.

This one is made with PU leather and rather than having a plastic case inside that the device clips into, it has a pocket that covers the front bezel of the device. Advertises having sleepcover functionality.

Gecko

Seems to be exclusively a European brand found at several European retailers.
