I have also found that a lovely Libra 2 cover from kwmobile I ordered does not work so I sent it back. I have a Fintie one that works most of the time but not always.

I wish Kobo did a non-origami in a colour other than grey.

You should dump your Fintie case as it's going to wear out before it should. They are poorly made. I've had one for a Kobo wear out way too soon and I've seen one for a Kindle wear out.

I've had Fintie cases for Kindles in the past and they were fine. I'll see how I go with this. There are so many beautiful designs for the kwmobile covers, it's a great pity the sleep wake function is so hit and miss.

I have a kwmobile case and I I know someone with a kwmobile case for a Kindle PW5. Both cases work perfectly.

I know there are people for whom it works. But from comments on Amazon it is clearly very hit and miss what you get in terms of a working cover or not.

I've used Forefront cases for many years now, including on my current Libra 2.

I think I may have had one many years ago where the magnets didn't close strongly enough, so they changed it. Nothing's perfect, problems will occur from time to time, and it's how they're dealt with that matters. They didn't quibble at the exchange and the replacement worked.
All the others have worked fine.

Ah yes I see no that mine is a Forefront cover not Fintie. I had forgotten which F the logo represented as I had owned Fintie Kindle cases in the past.

If I wanted a different colour though they don't seem to be available at the moment though, Amazon UK only seems to have Forefront cases for the Sage and eBay only for Forma and possibly Clara.

Even when I google Forefront cases Kobo Libra 2 i oddly get responses covering every Kobo model except the Libra 2. 🤔

Finte is the only case brand that I know of that wears out way too soon.

That's odd, I got mine from Amazon UK.
Amazon has them in all colours in Belgium and will deliver to the UK https://www.amazon.com.be/-/en/Foref...language=en_GB

Slightly disconcertingly, several reviewers on the Amazon BE also report that the sleep wake function does not work in their covers 😕

People with a good experience don't usually bother posting reviews.

But anyway, that's a risk you take buying any cover like this - they're all made in China at a cost of 0.5p each and they allow for failures in the cost.

But if you buy through Amazon, you know there won't be a problem getting a replacement if it is a dud.

It's a brilliant cover and worth getting.

I'd take the risk and just get on with it (and come back on here and blame me if you get a dud one first time!!)

I have the 1st party origami sleep case for the libra 2 and am finding that its angle is too shallow for reading in bed. I used this one for my paperwhite and the steeper angle is better for me. Has anyone come across one with an angle like that for the Libra 2?

Sometimes you do get what you pay for.
I occasionally have this issue with my Libra H2O using a kwmobile case. Honestly I thought it was just due to my hand tremour, lol.
