360 cover

franklekens · 02-24-2010, 02:31 PM

On the basis of some comments on this forum or elsewhere (I forget) I was under the impression that the plastic cover of the PB 360 could be snapped to the back while you were reading. But I don't see any way to do this. Is it correct that when reading you just have to keep the cover/lid separate from the reader?

MTIA.

The cover does indeed snap on to the back.
It is a bit tricky the first few times but eventually you get the hang of it; there's a specific sweet spot between the power button and the card slot--press there and you get a positive lock.

Put the cover on the back.
Position the bottom notch into the groove under the bottom silver frame to the left of the mini USB port.
Now hold the bottom of the cover in place with right hand, with your fingers on the cover and thumb on the lover bezel.
Now position the fingers of the left hand on the cover at the top and gently push with your thumb on the bezel on the 360° text.
The cover should snap gently on the place.

When the cover in in place the silver PocketBook logo is located at the bottom of the device under the OK buton.

Now that's what I call a manual. :-)
Thanks.

I just feel sorry for all the people out there who probably don't even realise the cover does indeed clip on the back! Not everyone has the benefit of mobileread!

I didn't realise until I read it here, a few weeks ago

Ahh, well I did know that but I wasn't going to mention any names

Well, I am here lurking in MR and I don't still get how you do that of putting it behind the device xD. Maybe I'm understanding something incorrectly.

Do you actually have PocketBook 360° device?
Can you put the cover on front?

If you can do that then:
Hold your PocketBook 360° in your right hand, so that you see the PocketBook 360° text on the top bezel and the OK button is under your thumb.
Practice putting on (and, of course, removing) the cover several times, noting and observing your exact moves.
Now hold your PocketBook 360° in vertical position so that you see the display and the OK button is under your right thumb. Slowly flip the device along its horizontal axis, so you see the back of the device with the embossed text "PocketBook" upside down. The OK button should be under your right hand fingers.
Now put the cover on, just like you did in previous step, pretending that you are looking at the display.

Sorry, at the moment I do not have means to make a video.

By the way, dear PocketBook dealers, it might be a good idea to make a video and supply a DVD or a CD with the device. At least make video available somewhere on the web and include a paper with an URL somewhere in the box.
You should demonstrate basic tasks, putting on the cover, removing the battery cover, resetting the device, inserting MicroSD card, connecting to PC, basic configuration, putting the device to the default factory state when user misconfigures the device.

Done it at last! I never was the most coordinate guy on earth, and here's another display of that

Thanke!

Ok, I've just made a video showing how to clip the PB360 cover on the back of the device - for anyone else who might not know how to do this:
