Pn my Touch I had a Kobo designed case with elastics to hold the unit in. I found the easiest solution was just to use three of the elastics, and to let the top right elastic go under the device and not hold the device in place at all.

I *NEVER* had any issues with the Kobo coming loose.

OMG, I'm so stupid! (I thought of bending the elastic around over the back of the case so it doesn't interfere with the device but it doesn't stretch that far so I left it holding the device) Thanks for pointing out this obvious solution (apparently not to me lol)

It looks to be the same as the one I've had on my Paperwhite for 6 months. It is fantastic, very slim and lightweight while both the magnetic closure and sleep/wake function work perfectly.

I had the same question after seeing the above and did some hunting and found this cover at Amazon for $14.99, shipping included.

I love the Gecko Slimfit cover I have, but that extra little flap that keeps it closed is just slightly annoying to me. My Sony covers never had that so I'm not used to dealing with it. It works perfectly, it's a great cover, but I still have to be careful when closing the cover so the flap doesn't accidentally brush against the screen and trigger a page flip; and I often turn it back to fit between the 2 covers while reading, which I think will eventually wear it out prematurely, weakening that spot where it's bent drastically back. So I ordered one just now for myself.

I do the same thing with my NeoSkin case on my Glo. The top left corner sometimes gets in the way. I just leave the elastic on that corner alone and my Glo is still happy in this case. He's never slipped an inch.

My case has got the August logo on it, otherwise it looks exactly the same as the Glo case. It is even available in the same colours. Currently available from AliExpress and sent from China, but no doubt some people will bulk buy and then they will end up on eBay.

Those slim magnets cover thingies for Glo are on UK Amazon and UK Ebay too. Same price - £10.99 -- at both.

I find myself quite tempted, just to have a case with the sleep function. I'm not sure how much protection they offer the Kobo though, and how easily the magnetic closure would pop open. Has anyone got one?

I decided to order one (in brown). Now if I could just find that style for my Mini! I tried to order from aliexpress and can't get past the second login.
