Kobo Aura Sleepcovers - Can you show me yours

Josieb1 · 08-31-2014, 06:30 AM

I have the 6 inch Kobo Aura. I have one of the official sleepcovers, the ones that cost an arm and a leg. Mine is 9 months old. Yesterday when i got it out of my handbag I realised it no longer closed, so no use as a sleepcover, or as a cover at all

Needless to say WHSmith, the retalier, are not interested in replacing it.

I also have an Ultra Thin cover from China but the quality is less than impressive, mine has a light grey interior if anyone has one similar, so i'm looking for a new stylish sturdy sleepcover. Can anyone recomended one?

Also has this happened to anyone else? Suddenly the sleepcover won't meet to close?

This puts me in a quandry over the new H2O that i want as i was going to buy the official cover for that but now I have no idea what to do.

I have one I got from Amazon, which may be the Chinese one you are talking about. However, I really like it. I hope to get one just like it made for the H2O.

This is mine. It may be that yours is better quality. Mine has a light grey interior and the grey can be seen around the edges of the front cover. The front cover is very flimsy.

This is the inside

Mine is this one (Gecko), but I wouldn't recommend it. In a couple of months the spine is showing some signs of tear, and the frame holding the reader, initially quite tight, has loosened and now it would fall out when open. The slimfit version may be better.

That doesn't appear to have stitching around the edge. Mine has stitching. And it doesn't feel flimsy.

I have 3 sleepcovers - I bought the Kobo one, I bought a cheapie from China (like the one you bought), and I also bought the one from Mulbess, which is my favorite. It's a few $ more than the cheapie from China, but it's much sturdier and feels more solid when I'm holding it. I bought the wine color one, but it doesn't look like it's available.

Thank you both. I've ordered both the Mulbess and the Coocido one. The mulbess in purple and the coocido in red. Ordered together I get free shipping from Amazon so I only need to pay the shipping for the one I send back.

I did think there were better quality cases than the one I got from China but I didn't know who to buy from.

I'm gutted about the Kobo Sleepcover though, £25 and it only lasted 9 months. I loved that case

Why are most of the pictures of the Kindle case?

um...Mulbess makes covers for many types of ereaders. When I bought mine for the Kobo Aura HD, the wine color WAS available for it, but now it's not. Which I indicated in my original reply to the OP.

I don't know, why don't you ask Mulbess directly?

Josieb1 · 08-31-2014, 09:37 AM

When I viewed the link I saw a kobo case with a kobo in it, I could see the word kobo when I zoomed in.

And I made sure I bought the mulbess case for the Kobo Aura 6 inch, not the HD.

I ordered this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And this one

It's amazing what you can see when you are looking for information of value/help instead of just trying to criticize and look for something to argue about in someone else's posts!

I have the slimfit and I'm very happy with it. The frame keeps perfectly the reader and it show some tear, but we're talking about an ereader which goes in my bag and travels with me.
