@meeera, can you order from eBay? I can't order from Amazon either, but I found most of the same cases on eBay, shipping from China.

I ordered a cheap cover in Amazon.es (Spain). It's a "Coodio" 11 € (or 10.90 or 10.99) It's fine, better than expected. Good price /quality ratio.

There's a choice of two and priced in Euros they're very expensive. Plus a postage charge to Aus.

'For shipment outside Europe we charge €6,50.'

@meera: I doubt you will find anything in Australia. You might try http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Magnetic-...item46313b9240. That looks like the same design as the one been using on my Glo for the last year. I'm very happy with it.

David do you fold your cover back to read? Just wondering how flexible the cover is, and wondering if turning it backs triggers the sleep function.

Also, the pen - what's that like? (Did you buy the version with the pen?). How do you use the pen, and does it fit into the jacket?

The zero postage is a huge plus as well of course, and the price tag of AUD $11.67 is right up my alley, although I can't find a description of the material so I'm guessing heavy duty plastic of some description.

Thanks

I use a Fintie Sleep cover that is similar to the one you linked on eBay. When you close the cover, the H2O goes to sleep. When you open the cover, the H2O wakes up. I can fold it back all the way and no issue going to sleep. I find it very easy to hold the H2O while in the cover. Easier then holding the H2O without a cover.

Doesn't need a clasp. It uses a magnet to keep it closed.

The one I have for the Glo folds back with no problem and doesn't trigger the sleep when it's folded back.

It says "PU Leather". Looking at it, it is very similar to howyoudoin posted pictures of. And that is the same as the one I have for my Glo.

From the pictures, it seems a bit different. You can see that it doesn't have the stitching around the borders, and the black plastic on the back is more prominent than on mine.

Just FYI, the plum colored cover is a Fintie, the other two are from Ebay.

Very nice! Which is your favorite? The plum Fintie looks really nice.
