Making a home cover for BOOX Onyx Leaf/Page

Michal Jancik · 05-04-2024, 10:51 AM

Hello everyone !

Have any of you made your own protection cover for a Leaf/Page device?
I found the original cover on Amazon and either they are very expensive, they take a long time to post, or they are not available at the moment.

I need advice on attachment, I don't know if it is enough for one side to be attached and held only with the help of a magnet, if you use a cover, could you tell me how the device is attached?

yes, I know It looks ugly

but for now I have this base (magnets in the corners)

Spoiler:

In short, I need to find out how the original protection package is made, which uses the method of attachment with the help of a magnet

Oh! I love this.
I did a remake of my Poke5 cover.

I went for gluing it on.
There's nothing the matter with using the magnetic attachment but it uses a lot of magnets.

I've considered making a cover from scratch. Like my present cover it would use only 5 magnets, 2 on the flap outer top corner, 2 on the flap outer bottom corner and 1 for the Hall effect sensor. I might even drop the corner magnets to one apiece. When I had access to a laser cutter it would have been be easy, but I can always just order some cutting.
