Oberon covers

Kaysclie · 06-12-2015, 10:43 AM

I am really enjoying my aura H2o ereader. Only one thing would make it perfect for me and that would be an Oberon cover. But Oberon doesn't make a cover for the H2o.

Does anyone know if any of their other covers would fit my H2o?

The old Kindle Touch covers can be fitted, if you're willing to have the straps adjusted. Our local shoe repair did mine for my HD and it fits the H2O just fine.

I'm using the Oberon cover I purchased several years ago for my Kindle Keyboard. I cut off the straps and secured the H2O with double-sided tape. I holds well with no danger of falling out. I did cut out about 1/2 inch of the inside edge of the front flap pocket so that the front cover would close all the way. I also taped a small magnet to the inside front pocket so the H2O sleeps when closed. It works great.

Thanks for your replies sharphamster and jlinear. You both have very creative ideas. I don't have any Kindle Touch covers, but I do have some Kindle Keyboard covers from years past. I might try experimenting with them first and if it turns out usable, maybe I can either get one from Oberon or second hand from someone.

I was able to get an old kindle keyboard cover to work on my H2O. It is a tight fit but with a little effort it worked. I didn't have to make any adjustments to the cover. With time the straps stretch and it is much easier now to remove/add the cover.

Are you referring to an old Oberon Kindle keyboard case? So you are saying you used an old Oberon K3 case for your H2o....without making any adjustments??

Yes, it was my wife's. When she went to a paperwhite, we put it on a shelf. But when I got my H2O, I tried it and it worked. The fit was a little tight to begin with, but over time the straps stretched a little and it became easier to get it in and out.

That is reassuring to hear! I hope that I can find somebody that has one to sell.
