I'm having trouble charging my Kobo Sage PowerCover. When I plug in the USB cable, it often only powers the device itself.
I have to repeatedly attach and detach the case to finally get it to charge the PowerCover. Is this a problem with the product design, or is my PowerCover defective? I just bought it recently, so I think I can request a replacement if it's faulty. |

Most PowerCovers are defective and don't behave like they should. I bought mine years ago and could never get it to charge properly, so I stopped using it. There have been several reports about it over the years.

A powerbank is more useful.
The design is a problem on many levels. |
