But I respect your choice and would follow it if Forefront were no longer available.
They look just the same case but with different patterns

The kwmobile cases are the same with different artwork.

Thank you all again for your input. I have ordered a Sage from Argos, hopefully to pick up on Friday from local outlet. I'll think about the case later.

Interesting.

I bought my Kobo Clara HD direct from https://uk.kobobooks.com this time last year. Very easy, and it was the lowest price at the time. I think shipping is from EU but it's still very fast and free too. I just checked the price vs amazon UK and the amazon price is much higher. John Lewis charge the same as Kobo but have no stock. Argos are the cheapest by a long way. I bought a really good case on aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32894396288.html It's just the right thickness to offer some protection (unlike a lot of the very flimsy cases out there), is magnetic just like the official case, and fits perfectly.

Someone bought me that 'Just One More Chapter' case for my birthday; or rather, I asked them to buy it, ordered it myself, then they gave me the money plus the money for the gourmet cat food which made the order up to the free delivery amount!

Shows as still available to me.

Bought the Libra 2 from the Kobo site. Arrived within a few days.

That is a nice case. I do like the design.

Does it taste good?
I remember allegations of certain people eating catfood sandwiches in the Belfast Shipyard. Perhaps it was tuna.

Are you actually a cat or just the human that the cat keeps to read it books and feed it?

Picked up my new Kobo Sage this morning. So far, really like it. All updated and books transferred (thank you Calibre!). Haven't read anything yet, mind you.

Thank you all again.

So, I bought one of these. Very nice.

But one quick, maybe rather silly, question: what am I expected to do with the little rubber tipped stylus thingie that came with the case?

It's a free gift for you to do with as you wish (or bin)
If you're so inclined you can use it instead of your fingertip on the screen, thus avoiding fingermarks.
My wife uses it, I gave mine to her so she now has two

I got my Kobo Forma and my Libra 2 from Amazon. As long as Amazon is the seller and it’s Prime you can use them and return them if you don’t like them, the same as you can with a Kindle. I kept both mine but I had that confirmed by Customer Services,

Thanks for confirming. I'll add it to the pile of similar items in the drawer.

Handy for a smaller phone with awkwardly small touch keyboard.

Damnations I knew someone would suss this sometime.

In reality, I'm a slave to a gorgeous tortie and white ex-feral who has been socialised for a very long time. She was part of a colony I rescued one winter in 2007.
I used to have many more monsters, but they've gone to Bastet. I can't justify being a Crazy Cat Lady with just one cat, although the friend who bought the Libra cover and cat food believes it's a matter of attitude rather than number of cats.

Victoria says that she loves the Gourmet cat food: it's expensive (which she prefers) and mushy (helpful for a toothless cat - she had all her teeth removed a few years ago) and very tasty. It always disappears from her plate very quickly. So it's a go-to for making the order up to £20+.

I've been vegetarian for over 40 years so avoid cat food! The first cat given to me as an adult was from a vet I was dating. He spent some time explaining why cats can't be vegetarian.

When I had a houseful of moggies (I did a couple of feral rescues at my previous house, neutered and found homes for most of them, but kept some - Victoria was one of the ones I kept) they had to make do with cheap Asda own brand food, then Whiskas cans. But now I have only one cat, she gets spoiled silly.

Sorry. I could go on about cats for hours.
