I've had issues in the past with ereaders breaking through a sleepcover, so I decided to get a little creative with the cases. Since the KA1 is now the size of a smallish tablet, I'm going with a silicone wrap for the ereader to prevent the screen from breaking from a fall (https://www.amazon.ca/Tsmine-NuVisio...hockproof+case) and a padded case to prevent it from scratches and falls while in my backpack (https://www.amazon.ca/GreatShield-Qu...%2B(Gray)&th=1).

To be honest, I'd just use a book-style cover instead of that ugly elastic cover thing
On the other hand, I haven't dropped a device in at least 15 years, except for my mp3-player, which was in one of the side pockets of my jacket, while it shouldn't have been in there. (It should have been in the inner pocket.) It dropped out when I put the jacket on. |

I haven't been able to find a book-style cover that I feel will provide enough protection, but am still looking! |

The Oberon Fire HD7 2012 cover fits the KA1. Pricey (especially when Customs gets you ) but gorgeous.

The first one is just the same old cover again, but now sized for the KA1. It even has that dreaded loop and magnets on the right.

I didn't notice the "dreaded loop", but see it now on the black cover. The red one looks different and doesn't show it, weird. What's the purpose of the loop? One wonders.

I also have an Oberon Nook Color cover (the original NC). It is too tight for the KA1. The K2 size is a better fit. I'm still loving the cover I bought on etsy from eKovers! I also have the Kobo official cover but haven't used it much even though I'm not experiencing the problems with it that some people are. It's just boring compared to my other options. I like pretty colors and patterns. |

I still want a Gecko-like cover (which covers the bezels), so I don't have any visible magnets, flaps, closures, or metal on the outside. The Gecko's don't have a flap on the left to fold over the reader (so they keep the reader in by tension/friction on the bezel coverings, which is not good enough), or I would have pre-ordered one a long time ago. This is a new cover seller for the KA1. It basically is a folding cover to which you stick your reader using Velcro. Last edited by Katsunami; 10-03-2016 at 04:32 AM. |
