Kobo Reader - is there a cover for it

Jackierbow · 04-14-2012, 08:49 AM

As the controls are on the side and the page turn on the bottom right hand corner the other covers aren't of any use.

Can anyone advise please?

WHSmith stock a range of covers - you'll find them next to the ereader display, or you can buy them onllne: http://www.whsmith.co.uk/CatalogAndS...cessories.aspx

They're quite expensive, though. I recently bought a Kobo WiFi (sounds like the one you mean?) as a present and bought a cover from Navitech, which I thought was a good price for the quality. It was better than the one I bought for my Sony Reader, and didn't seem to block any of the controls http://www.navi-tech.co.uk/garmin-nu...ories?vmcchk=1

Thanks. The Bycast looks like just the job. The front of the box has a sticker that says WiFi and the side of the box says Wireless eReader (bought from Asda two days ago for £49) so I think it might be the same one. It has a large pad on the bottom right hand corner with five dots, which are in place of arrows.

Yes, that is the same one - I got it from Asda just before they dropped the price

Shame, would have paid for the cover!

I bought the red cover. It is actually red - it looks almost brown in the photo. The inside looked the same as in the photo (apart from the colour) - several little pockets with the bottom one having a clear insert, and then the larger pocket behind. Front cover quite rigid, so should protect the screen quite well.

That's brilliant. Got a birthday coming up and a daughter still at college so the cover will be the perfect present for her to get me. Thanks, you've been very helpful.

This one? http://cgi.ebay.it/Cover-Up-Kobo-eRe...item27bd30c564 I have one, very nice.

Jackierbow · 04-16-2012, 12:38 PM

No, more like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Executive-...item5d31c3bb7b The Kobo I have has isn't touch screen and the control is on the bottom right hand side of the front, so the nice cover you have could cover the control. Got to go cheaper :-)

That looks like quite a nice cover too. As it's almost the same price as the Navitech one, it might be a better buy if it is real leather, although it does say lower down that it's 'PU leather', which I think is the same as 'bycast', i.e. synthetic polyurethane.
