You can get iPad Mini covers very cheap on eBay and Amazon. On the other hand there will be dedicated Aura One covers available next week.

I Wonder why the red one doesn't show that black 'whatever' on the right side mid height? It's on the blue & black ones.

Also the red one shows two vertical silvery bars at mid height on that right side. They loo like maybe magnets???

I was puzzled by it, too. My best guess is because none or only a part of the pictures shows the actual cover. The red seems to be photoshopped.

There is no way I would buy from that seller. Can't even be bothered to have a photo showing the A1. Showing no device would be better.

It looks like it's cloth. That won't give much protection and it gives zero protection while you read or just have the A1 out. Not worth the cost and the risk.

Jon, I've been wondering for a while now, did you even buy an Aura ONE? There is none in your devicelist under your avatar and you haven't complained about its faults like the rest of us.

Just curious.

ETA I still remember how dissappointed everyone was when the first TR was announced without a real backlight (or is it a frontlight? Sorry, can't remember right now, am still halfasleep).

I'd love this one in the aura one size, but they don't seem to be planning it.

So, if after handling the Kobo sleep cover I'm not convinced, I might order that one:

I'll love this too, as it's the same I have in my Aura.

And thank you, because it looks like they're going to do this:

https://www.amazon.fr/Coque-Aura-AVI...A2GA345B0TFVBF

And if they send it to Spain (it doesn't look like but...), it's another thing I want for a reader which wasn't going to leave my house.

This is the one I am waiting for, as I have it for my Aura and love it.

I am not so sure about this one though, the covered bezel is so not to my liking. I might continue using my mod iPad Mini case, I made for the One, if Mulbess doesn't come up with a cover.

And there is no way I'd ever buy a Kobo original cover again. What they charge for very inferior quality is just robbing. This is what the cover for my Arc 10 HD looks like after 18 month of use and it almost never left the house. Whereas the Mulbess cover looks brandnew and is about half a year older.

Looking closer at it, the black does have a covered bezel (which I would hate), but the red one looks different. I'll wait and see, also for a back picture - for both.
