Good product, backed up by customer service.
That's really good to know. That Slimfit cover looks like it works very much like the Kobo cover for the Aura One and I like that - so now I have an option if the H2O cover turns out to be a problem.

I wish I had looked for a better after market cover back when it was possible.
Am I just not looking in the right place? The Fintie website shows nothing for Kobo, even with a search, and MokoDirect shows only a couple of pouches to a fit the 6" readers. Maybe they've both given up on Kobo.


I've only had two readers so far (third is on its way), with one OEM cover each. The Sony cover is only now starting to fall apart, so while $50 seemed excessive at the time, spread over 8 years it's not really that bad. I don't know if the Kobo covers will last that long ... I don't even know if the devices will.
