Kobo Aura ONE Third Party Cover Thread

Then they cleaned up their act and now there even is a white one. Same happened on ebay and aliexpress. Looks to me like there is one manufacturer whith whom they all buy their stock.

I ordered one of these via ebay from China because it was cheaper back at the time, but am still waiting for it to be delivered. In the meantime Noreve decided to do a cover for the ONE and now I am waiting for theirs, too.

That can be. I see that a lot of covers have been added at aliexpress, this one of them. I've ordered another one and I'm still waiting. I'll give my opinion when it reaches me.

This is for Aura, not Aura One, am I missing anything?

I finally got this in black: https://www.amazon.com/ACdream-Premi.../dp/B01LPLZAIE

It's quite good and very cheap. I used it during this week and I'm fairly pleased by the quality and price.

It's also available in some European Amazon web shops.

Just recieved this one: http://www.ebay.fr/itm/191993512283?...&sojTags=bu=bu
Very happy.
Compared to the official one, it's very similar, for a very little price.
I still have some ghost touch, but way way less than with kobo's cover.

Sorry for my really bad english...

Here's some pictures:

Very good on most accounts as far as I can see. Pity that they didn't have the lower part run through; they stopped right in the middle of the corner. I've had such a cover for my KPW1, and it was sharp there. I hope your's isn't.

but it does the job well, especially since I like reading without a cover.

Do you like risking dropping without a case?

That looks great - I like the colour too!

Nice photos! How thick is the KA1 in the unofficial cover compared to the official cover? I like the thinness of the bare KA1 and it would be a pity if the cover made it too thick.

1 cm for both.

I've ordered my Noreve cover on the 13th, and have received an e-mail that it would be 'delivered to me around the 20th'. Is that: should have been in my hands on the 20th, or should have been sent by the 20th? If it's the latter, then it's understandable that it's not here yet, but if it has been sent, I would have appreciated a notice.

It's now the 24th, and I have no cover, and no shipment notice. I've sent an e-mail to Noreve to see what the delivery status is.

Nice pictures. With the unofficial cover, is it hard to press the power button?

No, not so much.
Maybe easyer than the official one, because the hole is bigger.
Once again, sorry for my english

When I log in on the site, it says the dispatch date is estimated to be the 3rd of november. So, I expect mine in about 2 weeks...

The official cover doesn't have a hole for the power button. It has a rubbery plug that pushes the power button when you push on it. Works okay but the usual complaint about the power button click being harder to feel.
