Kobo Aura H2O covers - Page 3

treadlightly · 09-17-2014, 10:47 AM

At the very least, a cover from which it is easy to remove the H2O for naked activities is what I am looking for.

Maybe it is not so useless after all.

You'd be better off with a Ziploc bag then that waterproof bag.

Has anyone tried this one/this brand? They look pretty nice, especially for the price.

Looks like they have cases for touch, glo, aura, and aura hd, so presumably just a matter of time for the h2o. I haven't bothered really in the past with much more than a sleeve (everything seemed either way too expensive, or junk), but I'm fairly tempted for the h2o.

That's the case I have for my HD--note the link you posted goes to the HD case, not a case for the H2O. In any case, I really like the case. Fits well, sleep cover works perfectly, and seems sturdy. I've only had my HD for a little over a month, so time will tell how sturdy it actually is, but at this point I don't have any reason to think it won't last a long time.

Gecko has a neoprene sleeve for the H2O now.

I bought this exact unit. It's OK, but after having it awhile I decided I wanted a different style case.

One issue is that the plastic covering over the silver plate starts to come off. So I peeled it off completely. What happens as a result of this is the magnet becomes very strong.

As I said, this is a fine cover, but just not the one I was looking for.

That's the one (in purple) I have for my HD. I think you are supposed to remove that piece of plastic. It's just for shipping.

I use a clear Skinomi skin on my HD because it was too slippery naked. To transport it I use this sleeve:

There is some "wiggle room" in the sleeve but it is large enough to take an HD with a cover on it, and the sleeve is inexpensive and good protection. Probably any sleeve made for the Apple iPad Mini will work for the h2o, but I guess we will all see for ourselves in a week or two.

I like the neoprene sleeve. If I even get a H20 I'd be tempted to get this.

doubleshuffle · 09-27-2014, 02:31 PM

The neoprene sleeve is a very thoughtful invention; with it, the the H2O won't have to feel cold when it goes for a swim.

Josieb1 · 09-27-2014, 03:27 PM

It also means it can swim naked

Kobo Aura H2O SleepCover - Black $49.99 CDN

It looks pretty nice, but I'd like to see some after-market cases before deciding.

I see that Chapters/Indigo have reduced the price to $39.99, still a bit pricey though. If they were to drop it another $10-$15 I might be tempted.

At that price point, my first choice thus far is the Gecko Deluxe cover at $33 CDN plus shipping, although I'd like to see a photo of the inside before ordering.
