Cover for Kobo Touch
I've recently bought a Touch and am looking for a nice leather cover that fits the reader perfectly, no generic covers. I'm used to the Sony covers that fit their readers well and are slim and protective so I'd like the same for my Touch .... if it exists. I don't like the covers attached by pieces of elastic or the bulky cases that cover the bezel. I do like the official cover for the Kindle Paperwhite but don't really need the "sleep" function. Even the Glo sleep cover doesn't look as though it fits the reader properly, it looks far larger than the reader, so I wouldn't want it even if I had a Glo. Can anybody suggest a cover that fits the Touch ... is there even an official cover available to buy? Any suggestions appreciated.

What I mean by official is that it is purpose made for the Touch. I already have a cover similar to this one and it makes the Touch twice the thickness of my Sony 650 with the cover on. I'm looking for a cover that is slim and fits the device without hiding the bezel and adding extra bulk and weight.

Even Kindle have produced a lovely slim case for the new Paperwhite so I will be very disappointed if Kobo haven't managed to do the same. I love using the Touch naked but these horrible cases are spoiling the reading experience for me. |

I like the Touch the way it is, so just store it in a pouch with a plate of cardboard at the front to protect the screen (actually the internal cardboard of the product box). What's the point of the quilted back if you aren't feeling it?
What I'd like to see would be a hard panel that snapped to the front, essentially a mirror of the rear panel. The Touch doesn't have magnetic points like the Glo does it? Ideally they'd make a future version that had the back panel swivel around and clip to the front for protection; open it and swivel/snap to the back for reading, keeping the "naked" feel... |

I usually read without a cover when at home, but when I'm travelling I like a cover that's attached to the reader and isn't going to fall on the floor while juggling suitcase, handbag, phone etc. Also my handbag is usually full of travel documents, purse, phone, etc and the bulky case I have at the moment doesn't fit in the bag as easily as the Sony does.

in fact i dont like covers as well...but, since i'm dragging kobo with me all the time, and every once in a while someting is a threat to kobo at home (including dust and flying objects), at the end of the day i leave the kobo in cover. it is annoying to pull it out and pull it back all the time...i know, i'm lazy, but it's a drag...

Lyn, maybe you'd like the Speck covers. They're designed to fit around the reader, no straps or anythnig: http://www.speckproducts.com/ereader-cases.html
Unfortunately, they only still seem to have cases for Kindle and Nook. They used to have Kobo cases too, but that page has gone missing for some reason. You might be able to find some Speck cases for Kobo elsewhere though. Here's an example: http://www.amazon.com/Speck-Products.../dp/B0065GAU5S |

Yep you're right. I've had another look around specifically for purple and pink... And you're going to have to choose: it's either purple/pink but a slightly more bulky cover (loads on ebay); or it's a slimfit case with boring colours... good luck choosing!
