Glo Huge discount on Glo classic book covers

mr_nihilism · 09-04-2013, 01:55 PM

I would never buy one of these at regular price, but for $10 I couldn't really go wrong.

So just a heads up. Give your Glo a little love. Or stocking stuffers.

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but aren't these the covers another poster a few months back complained did not fit and in fact would not close with the reader inside? Apologies if I'm wrong, but I recall that these were the ones that did not fit.

I remember that also - and I found the thread.

One issue, though. The touchscreen stopped working when I clipped the reader in place.
Is it an issue with the reader? I just got it but I've read half a book with no issues. I think the kobo is being bent too far back by the restraining clips in the corners but I don't know for sure.
I took the kobo out of the case and it works again but my concern remains.

The reviews are quite unfortunate since the cover itself looks really good.

Well, I did buy one and had no issues with fitting the Glo in properly. The "book" cover closed just fine. I do wish it had a clasp or something on it, but otherwise it's $10 well spent.

Just posting my experience.

As I said, my apologies. The thread that Meeera(3 "e"s?, eeenough) found wasn't the one I was recalled, but I recall the covers were similar, I think the same style, think they were from chapters or borders, and recall they were being discounted. I'm not sure how the readers attached to the covers, but do remember that they were too small despite being designed to fit the readers according to the OP. Could have swore these were those. Again, apologies.
