hi, someone knows if the original leather sleepcover of the old glo could fit the new glo hd?

Yes, the Glo covers fit the Glo HD. I'm using a cheap one I bought for the Glo last year with no problems.

I purchased the same exact cover for the regular Glo and it's a very good, sturdy but lightweight cover. In fact, I tried the Glo HD in it and it does fit as the dimensions are just slightly different. I just couldn't get used to that extra flap every time I opened or closed it so I quickly got something without a flap, which I much prefer.

My thinking is the along the same lines. It looks like a good quality cover, just not sure about the flap.

I'd like one of those Omoton covers, but they don't seem to be available in the UK.

I have a PW2 with the official cover, and apart from the whole thing being a bit over-rugged for my taste, one really nice thing is that the bit of material that connects the "case" part and the "cover" part is thick enough so that the two parts stay aligned, if that makes sense. When I close it, the cover is always perfectly aligned with the case. The cheapo cover I am using for my Glo HD is isn't like that - the cover part flops all over the place. I wonder if there is a UK available cover - maybe the Mulbess? - which fixes this?

Another new one.

Looks pretty swish, and a good discount (if the listing is to be believed).

Forefront case

And it comes in green!

Wouldn't want that .

That's a lot of devices you've got listed there. Have you got enough colours for a full rainbow yet?

We do, yes! The items in my sig are not all mine, though I am the "device administrator." I've got 4 kids, and my 2 girls each have multiple tablets.

Unfortunately one of the Nook HD tabs is possibly about to kick the bucket. And hardly anyone uses the Nook HD+, oddly enough. The girls have absolutely loved their Nook HD 7's. That was one fine piece of hardware!

As for Kobos in the house....my oldest son uses the Kobo Touch, and I keep my original Glo as a back up in case the Touch dies (it has an astonishingly poor battery, and a bad spot of e-ink). I won't share my Glo HD or Aura HD! The Touch is not in a case, nor is the Aura HD. Now if I could find a silicone shell type thing I would get one for the Aura HD. But I haven't seen anything available for it today.

That Forefront case is just lovely, and well worth the less-than-£10 it cost me.

I got the black cover, It looks a little different from the Amazon page pics. First, I'm not sure it's actually leather at all. I could be wrong but it seems more of a plastic affair. This is not to criticise though - IMO it feels better than leather. It definitely has a quality feel.

The Glo HD fits perfectly. The back is nicely textured and feels very similar to the bare Glo HD back. The flap is thick enough that it doesn't bend. The right-hand side projects 2-3 mm out from the side of the device, and contains the magnet.

The cutouts are just right, and don't foul the USB cable. The reset paperclip-hole is not obscured.

The auto-on/off works properly.

The 'F' monogram is black, not white as in the picture, so blends in better.

All in all - very happy.

If you don't care about its weight, it may suit you. It weighs 130 g which is much too heavy in my opinion.

I have ordered a new case that is made correctly, so I have an alternative if drilling, burning or otherwise tampering with my expensive Kobo case does not work. Always assuming that I don't crack the device when I remove it!
I bought another Kobo Sleepcover through a Dutch reseller.
Here it is: http://www.bol.com/nl/p/kobo-glo-hd-...0000043008331/

This purple colour is brandnew, but there is another difference.

They made the cutout at the bottom of the cover bigger, and now the reset hole isn't covered anymore. They must have been reading this topic.

Hi to All,

I wonder if there are any Europeans here who have been able to buy the Omoton Kobo Glo HD case ? It seems to be one of the simplest, most elegant cases at a reasonable price. I'd love to get the navy blue one.

Any tips or advice would be much appreciated!

Best,
Rojofo.

I got the OMOTON with a map design and it seems like it's not working properly now. For the past few days, my Glo HD sometimes won't wake after going to sleep mode by closing the cover. I had to restart the device just to make it work. Calibre says that my database is ok so I think I can rule out a corrupted database. What seems to be going on here?
