which case

Am in the UK and by shop have an awesome deal on Kobo Libra 2 £119 so had to order one. Now not sure what kind of cover don't want to spend tons on one from Kobo shop, and like kwmobile covers (have one on aura) but ladies and gents. Do I go with clip in one or one where it slips in like an envelope?

Help please

if you find a kwmobile case you like, get it.

I don't like envelope style. Too bulky, too heavy and makes it harder to access the screen at the edges. Clip-on all the way.

I have this. Very sturdy, magnetic but not an on/off function

I bought this one in pink for mine when I first got it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/kwmobile-Ca...A2N58YCCQNSUNR
It fits really snugly so feels sturdy yet lightweight, the cutouts are exactly where they need to be and it's perfectly compatible with the sleep cover option.

I also bought an envelope style one similar to this but not by KWMobile to see which I preferred:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/kwmobile-Ca...5&sr=8-15&th=1
The one I tried made the reader quite bulky, so one-handed reading wasn't comfortable, and it kept 'slipping' so that when I had the charger plugged in, the case kept slipping down and dislodging the charger instead of staying in place. But, as I say, it was not KWMobile so theirs may be better quality.

I have an envelope-style case (I believe it's from kwmobile). It does add bulk to the reader, but I find that the thicker case/ereader is easier to grasp. No issues with the charger (so far).

One thing I recommend. Don't by a case that's not a sleep case.

I just went through the same, trying to decide which case to use. In particular I wanted to sleep / wake function to work as intended. I tried 3 cheaper covers and none work consistently. I finally spent a few extra dollars on a Kobo branded cover and it works flawlessly.

Someone tell me I'm wrong so I can happily (and quickly) delete my three posts. If someone decides to order any one of the three different covers from above, there may be a long delay if/until Amazon gets them back in stock. It might be wise to email the original vendor in order to ascertain the status of a cover.
