I only got my Aura One last September. Being so new to the glitz and glamour of a new ereader makes it a little bit easier to go back. |

I have a couple of old Sony Readers (650 & T1). Going back to using them would be be not as good as reading with my H2O.

The H2O2 is showing as available at Kobo. So is the original H2O.

After a very long "temporarily out of stock", Kobo Australia are now selling H2O (2nd edition) again. And for $20 off the normal price!
And since the Clara isn't what I want, I've just ordered myself one of these new H2Os. |

Sweet, i am enjoying mine so congrats on your new buy I would just stay far away from the official cases because those are overpriced and horrible.

Yep, the official cases are expensive. But, the cheap cases I bought from eBay my Glo HD and Aura H2O didn't hold up and were terrible. The official cases for these have worked much better.

Meh, the original case i bought for my h2o v2 had lots of wear on the corners after 2 days of use while my 6 euro cases from aliexpress are still fine.

While I am inclined to agree about the "over-priced" aspect of the Kobo covers (although compared some I've seen elsewhere, maybe not hugely overpriced), I do really like the Kobo cover I got for the Aura One and it seems to be holding up very well. I am a bit dubious about the fold-over bit of the Kobo H2O cover, but I had ordered one anyway and guess I will find out more when it arrives.
Meeera, I like the look of the Gecko Slimfit, I will be interested to hear what you think of it when it arrives. |

I've been as happy with my Fintie and Moko covers for my Kobos as I've been with their OEM covers which I think are absurdly overpriced. I will not pay a significant percentage of a device price for a cover. Also, the OEM cover for the Mini is terrible; bulky and oversized, it obviates the advantages of the device to a large extent. I wish I had looked for a better after market cover back when it was possible.

I've only had two readers so far (third is on its way), with one OEM cover each. The Sony cover is only now starting to fall apart, so while $50 seemed excessive at the time, spread over 8 years it's not really that bad. I don't know if the Kobo covers will last that long ... I don't even know if the devices will. |

I got a Moko cover for my Aura One just a month ago and Amazon US still shows them in stock, but I admit the Fintie cover for my H2O is much older and they could well have given up. The OEM cover for my Glo HD is at best only marginally nicer than both of these and not worth paying a premium, IMO.
