Libra 2 improving knockoff Libra 2 SleepCover cases

[Apollyon202]

I have two kwmobile cases for a Clara HD, both excellent quality, the magnets work like a charm.

For the Libra 2 I also have a kwmobile case, but it's rubbish. Very disappointing after the Clara HD's covers. I have to bend the cover a little bit, otherwise the sensor won't detect the magnet at all. The build quality is also a bit lower. I have to add that I tend to use fabric covers from kwmobile.

Later I ordered an additional 2 cases from China for the Libra. In the slimmer one the magnet doesn't really work, but sometimes it does, and in the bulkier one, it's kinda similar to the one you have over there under the name "Fintie", but I couldn't order any of those, they're probably North-America only.
So my bulky cover works okayish, I have to push the cover mildly, and the sleep-wake function works. It has a "handstrap", a good grip, and it's easy to take the ereader out.

I also bought an official non-origami sleepcover from Kobo when my Libra 2 was new, but I don't like it. This is the only cover for my Libra where the magnets work without any issues. But the build quality is dreadful. Slippery, rigid plastic. This makes it skippery. Mine hasn't started to peel yet, but I don't use it that much. Also, I've found it too tight. I have to bend it a bit to remove the Libra from it, and there's a risk you bend the ereader too much, and you know what happens then...

Also read on reddit a while ago that someone had two Libra 2's, different revisions. The same 3rd party case's sleep/wake function was working flawlessly with one, and it didn't with the other. So I guess the sleep/wake feature also depends on the device, not just the sleepcover.

I just looked at kwmobile for a new case for my Clara HD, there's some nice looking cases there.
Couple questions, is the Clara HD the same size as the Clara BW and colour, I'm thinking not?
For the cases that have the hand strap, I think the strap is a great idea but I'm hesitant to buy one as I'm afraid the strap would be pressing on the screen when closed possibly marking the screen. A worry or not?

I've had kwmobile cases. I rather like them. The one I bought for my Aura H20 is still in very good condition. Unfortunately when I needed a new case for my Libra 2, I could not find a kwmobile case I wanted. So I ended up going to Topcase.

I also have a kwmobile case for my Libra 2, and the magnets work properly. I've been thinking about getting a spare while they're still available, since cases for older devices eventually get phased out.
