As to this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00573LRIE
It is an ill-fitting generic pouch/stand - two inches wider and two inches taller than the KT = huge! The stand-up feature puts the KT at about 15 degrees from vertical, which is too upright for reading when placed on a table in front of you. The included carabiner and "screen protector" are simply irrelevant filler. Definitely not recommended, even if it were free. Last edited by EldRick; 07-14-2011 at 04:49 PM. |

So can you post pictures if you have time of the points you mention? If not no worries just easier to picture when we can see exactly what you mean. I dont know about the vertical on the table I prefere to hold it or lay it flat. Any way thanks for letting us know. I see you added pictures. Gives us a better idea of what you are meaning. Thanks for the update jack Last edited by jackastor; 07-16-2011 at 09:56 PM. |

Custom case
After getting the 1.9.6 release, I decided to keep my Kobo Touch. I haven't been able to find a case or sleeve that I like. I was tempted to buy one of the sleeves from indigo/chapters but many reviewed it as being too tight or causing stains on the Kobo.
After much searching, I've decided to buy a hand made sleeve from etsy.com. There are some cute designs. I've leaning towards the seller "bertie's closet" here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/bertiesclos...=bertiescloset Haven't decided yet which design I'm going with but will give an update once I receive it. |

I have the Roots sleeve. Yes it is tight at first but it does loosen up after a few days. Mine fits perfect now.

Does anyone have experience with the Techee cases on Etsy? They are quite affordable and say they have a hard protective layer which is appealing. I am just looking for a slip case so this looks like a good choice:

Verso makes a case for the Touch. Borders sells them. They're also coming out with new Touch gelskins in a week or so.

When I bought my KT at the Borders store, the rep recommended the Verso case, so I bought it. But when I got home & opened it, it was too big for the KT. It had about two more inches at the top, so I returned it. Not sure if Verso has made a case for the KT, so I would double check if it's the size you're looking for first before buying it.
I asked for any other cases specifically for the KT, but they didn't have any yet (this was on Friday). Said they are planning on getting something end of the month. |

In Canada, I picked up a case for my KT at Chapters/Indigo this weekend. You have to be careful because there are a lot more case styles available for the larger Kobo wifi than for the smaller KT. The store I was at had 3 different styles for the KT - the Roots sleeve, the Kobo book style cover, and a Kobo zippered cover. I am told that not the all stores are carrying all of the styles. The zippered cover isn't on the Chapters website, so I took a photo. The wavy bit in the front is a pocket, fits the KT perfectly, and costs $25 Canadian.

I'm currently using a (Clean) thick hiking sock chopped down to protect my KT.
When a nice leather flip type case becomes available I will buy one. |

From what I can see, the closest match to the KT at the moment is the Sony PRS-650... perhaps cases designed for them are an option.
