Recommendation Glo HD/Touch 2.0 cover

Can someone recommend me a good cover?

I got a cheap one ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00E1...o+cover+glo+hd) but now the plastic shell is crumbling away.

I'd prefer a cover that would be very slim with a method of holding the reader at the edges. Basically the same as the one in the link but durable and if possible thinner.

Are there back-plates for the glo hd that have a cover-plate attached?

That looks a lot like one I bought for my Glo and used with the Glo HD for a while. Until the corners cracked. I settled on the official Glo HD/Touch 2 case. I've been using that for about a year now, and am happy with it.

There are also threads here for each Kobo device discussion the covers. I'd suggest searching for the Glo HD thread and reading through that.

Went for the Genuine cover, good build quality, will need to get used to the cover having some space between reader and coverflap when folded. Will probably get better with some use. otherwise excellent handling and fit when closed. Thinner and lighter as well.

I've bought 7 covers for the GLO HD, 6 third party and the official sleep cover in purple. I've tried them all but in the end the official cover is what I use the most.

After several months of use, the rubber(?) lining at the folding points of the cover started to drop off. Leading to frayed edges where the cloth-part thats glued on the inside is slowly untangling itself.
Returned the cover and am now coverless :-/
