You can also get a 10% discount subscribing to the newsletter (wish i knew before i ordered it)
That is a good deal if you are interested in this cover. If you order from them it is free shipping and 10% off if you sign up for newsletter. I ordered from the UK Amazon, the price for the cover was the same but Amazon UK charged me for shipping (I am in the USA), so my total came to £13.69

Im using the official Kobo sleep cover. I have noticed that if I hold it a certain way (Cannot pin point it just yet) it will re-sleep which is annoying, I looked into the metal shim option but the case is molded to the device so I don't think it will work.

I went with Fintie because of the reasonable price and the fact that it works when fully folded back.

I'm now using what I think is the Tsmile from eBay that looks like the Fintie in photos but the cover material is smoother. It's working very well. I chose it over the Fintie because the bumpy surface would not have worked well with a decalgirl sticker.

I have that problem, too. It happens to me when I am reading and I subconsciously move the folded over front cover a little, trying to square it with the back cover.

This seems to be a very common problem with H2O sleep covers. I don't know why, because I haven't heard of it happening with other devices.

What I like better about the Fintie is that the colors are not so in your face aa the Tsmile. I chose the blue and it's not as bright. The Tsmile is more of a sky blue while the Fintie is between sky blue and blue.

Tsmile's choice of blue is not all that good. It's either too bright or too dark.

It's not all that common. I've only read about it happening with Gecko (which they seem to have fixed) and now the Kobo official cover. My Fintie works perfectly. I can fold it all the way back without it putting the H2O to sleep.

If you look back through the thread, you'll find reports of it on a number of other cases, too. I forget now which ones they were, but there definitely have been others. Gecko fixed the problem on their cases.

Yes, the blue is more cyan on the Tsmile. I chose orange

Would the 8" sleeve fit the H2O along with a slimfit cover?

I did got through the thread and didn't find many reports of a fold back sleep problem. I found one other then that I listed. It's not as widespread a problem as you say. And I did see some messages saying Kobo's own sleepcover works well folded back. So maybe the one that was said to be a problem recently was an anomaly.

Is there any problem with the H2O going to sleep when you fully fold back the cover?

I am using the Kobo sleep cover and have had no problems. Fits perfectly, works well, minimal and attractive.
