I did not because I thought it was too pricey and want to see what's going to be offered.

Anyone else? Either ordered the cover or waiting for what may be coming?
I haven't even ordered the ONE yet.

Spoiler:

I think I'll order the Aura in the end. I've wanted the Kobo font customizations for years, but I saw no point in replacing a perfectly good KPW1 with another 6 inch reader. I also wanted a reader substantially larger than 6 inch, but NOT as big as 9.7 inch. The ONE fits perfectly, being 7.8 inch. Much bigger than 6 inch, not as big as 9.7, all font customizations... I'll have to try this reader.


I'm thinking about waiting to order it after some covers become available, but that could take weeks or months. Maybe I'll order the reader, and use it a home only, until a cover becomes available. Actually, I like the original cover, apart from the fact that they HAD to go and make the front cover floppy to give it a 'stand mode'... I don't like that. If they hadn't, I wouldn't even care that much about the price.

On the other hand, I'm now using a KPW1, which sits in a €12 cover I bought from eBay, and that is holding up perfectly well.

I wonder if Gecko fixed their covers. In the past, they had a cover where you slide the reader into it from the left, but they didn't have a velcro retaining flap like my 'eBay cover' does. So the reader always wants to move back out of the cover and/or sits askew. For the rest, their covers are good, AFAICS.

I can't pick any of the choices, as I did order a cover, just not the Kobo one.

I ordered an Oberon cover (the 2012 Kindle Fire HD7 is the same size as the Aura ONE to within 2mm/0.08", an even better fit than the IPad Mini).

Yes, I splurged

Aaah! Elastic bands everywhere!

They really should start making covers with swappable hard shells. There was one manufacturer who did, but I can't remember the name...

I didn't have an issue with them when I used a cover of theirs with my Kindle DXG, but that had the keyboard at the bottom and a rather wide bezel. We'll see how it goes with the One when the cover arrives.

I'm using mine naked, but transport it in a cheap small tablet zipped pouch (Amazon Basics). I want to skin the front with a matte black one from Decal Girl. Sent an inquiry asking if they plan on offering stuff for the Aura One. The texture and look of the bezel on the One isn't appealing to me, nor that logo.

Response from DecalGirl.

Quote:
I am so sorry we do not support that device as yet. What I can do is have the Kobo Aura One added to our list of devices to discuss with our development team. If the device is being marketed well or we get a great response from consumers there may be a great chance we will do it. We release about 4-5 or more devices per month so we are always looking for new devices to bring in.

If you want a skin, please let them know you're interested.

I've ordered an Aura ONE without a cover, but I did order a cheap 8 inch neoprene sleeve with it, so I don't have to have the reader lying around bare, and I can transport it if I so choose.

The aura is about 8mm shorter than an iPad Mini, but it's 4mm wider. I just assume the generic sleeve will fit anything from a 7 inch Android tablet to at least the 7.9 inch iPad, and thus probably the Aura ONE.

As soon as some covers are available, notably from Gecko Covers, I'll probably order a book style cover that'll never be taken off, except for the occasional cleaning/dusting of the reader.

I took the same path with the Kindle I have now, four years ago, and it worked out splendidly.

Perhaps garish is a bit strong, but that's how the situation sat with me. I paid for the product, if it's good I'll advertise it, don't force me to advertise it by slapping your logo on it in such a way that it's hard to miss.
Considering that my Aura One is living in it's box until I get a cover for it? That's advertising the product with the colorful box and the large Kobo Aura One logo when I drag it out of my laptop bag. That colour palette could be described as garish.

Chapters just told me the same thing. I really don't want to use the One without a cover, but September 23 is so far away! Maybe if I am very, very careful...

I haven't bought an Aura One so this is just hypothetical for me but $50 for a cover is just ridiculous.

I bought a universal 7"-8" tablet cover at Five Below. fits very well The cutout that is on in for a camera is pretty well lined up for the power button. It has adjustable metal prongs in the four corners giving a good hold.

I've received the wrong sleeve. The store sent me the 7 inch instead of the 8 inch one. So I'll have to have that swapped. The reader seems to be fine though. It's not perfect with regard to settings/customization (what is? the KPW1 wasn't either), but it's enough of an improvement over the KPW1 to be satisfied.
