We can buy the Kobo Glo Sleepcover in Aus for $35 * straight from a shop, that is no postage. The Gecko products are more costly than similar products that can be purchased in our region plus they charge postage. * HT advertises the Glo Sleepcover for $40, and Office Works price matches and also takes $5 off where their price wasn't already the cheaper.

Would any of the covers designed for a Kindle fit the Kobo Glow? If so, which Kindle would be closest or probably the best fit. I have been told a case for the Kindle 4 would fit but I would have thought the Kindle Paperwhite would be a better fit since they are close in size.

I'm quite interested in this case as I like the corner clip-in way of attaching the reader. Is it easy to get it in and out without damaging the case as I like it in the case during the day but out of the case when I'm at home?

I like the case because it adds so little to the size of the reader. |

I understand what you mean. Yes, the front cover easily folds back behind the reader so you can hold in one hand.

When you fold back the front cover, can you lock it (with the same magnectic lock as when you close it) ? And does it add a noticeable weight to the Kobo ? |

No it's lighter than many cases I've had. I think the website states 100g, which is quite light considering that the front cover seems pretty rigid to me. For anyone trying to decide between a Slimfit and a Leather protection cover... I also have the Gecko Leather cover for my Sony PRST1 (I'm assuming it's very similar to the KoboGlo version). My observations are:

Dear BookBunny,
We are considering, for the new batch of Glo Slimfit's, to change from grey to black velours. Kind regards. |

Oh, great. Hope you do. Guess I'll keep mine in a sock for a little while longer then
Can the front of the cover be folded back? |

planning to look for another glo cover
gecko cover screwed up my shipping and now they are asking me to wait for another 3 weeks afters having waited for nearly a month for it considering that i was willing to pay a premium for the leather cover and another 6.50 Euros for shipping outside Europe , i had expected such trivial mailing address errors NOT to have happened. any other suggestions for a decent cover? |
