Glo Does Aura sleep cover fit the new glo hd?

buongiorgio · 06-04-2015, 04:24 AM

Hi there,
a couple of days ago I accidentally leaned on my kobo aura and now the screen is gone. It is my fault, but indeed is a really fragile item. And the worst part of the story is that I was in the middle of a very captivating book. Anyway, I have to replace it and I chose the Glo HD. I have the kobo aura sleep cover (the grey one in fabric http://picture1.cyberport.de/mall/sh...04-00N_250.JPG) and I was wondering if I can use it on the glo hd, at least as a "normal" cover without the sleep function. Dimensions of the two devices are very similar (114 x 150 x 8,1 mm aura 115 x 157 x 9,2 mm glo hd): just one mm widther and one mm thicker. Height does not matter as the aura cover has "clips" only on sides of the device.
Thanks for any suggestion,
Gio

It will probably stick out at the top or bottom, unless there is considerable space above and below where the Aura fits into this case. There's only one way to know, and that's by trying it. You might be in luck!

Yes, that would be the definitive test, but I was hoping someone already tested and could give some advice

I've tried yesterday and no, the official cover of the Aura don't fit at all the new glo HD.
The Glo HD is wider and not fit in the hooks.

too bad because i love that cover.

Ouch, that's unfortunate; Gabriel, do you have the "normal" aura or the H2O?
