Kobo Aura sleep cover

Stingo · 06-24-2013, 03:06 PM

I was interested in purchasing a Kobo Aura as a backup reader. Unfortunately I see that the sleep cover is out of stock and has been for several weeks. Is this product coming back into stock or is it gone forever? I don't want a thick cover or a cover that does not sleep the reader.

Thanks.

Half the price and still in stock here:

That's where I got mine from. Some people don't like this cover for some reason, but I love it.

One warning - do NOT expect to get that price in store. They won't price match their website.

But you can ship to store. It'll take longer, but it doesn't cost a dime in shipping charges. Still, it's a pity nobody else makes a slim case for the Aura that's not a shapeless frame case, the way Amazon did for the Kindle Touch and Paperwhite.

But will they ship to the USA?

Yes, they will, nearly doubling the price. Over $18 in shipping charges.

Still cheaper than through Kobo and arrived faster too.

Hate to tell you but I went to Chapters to buy one of these cases. It was 49.99 and 25.00 on their website but I would not even pay a dollar for it. I think it is a piece of crap. Sorry just my opinion.

I just received the sleepcover on Monday. I ordered it through the Chapters web site. So far I am very happy with it. I would have rather purchased a brown sleepcover to match my Aura, but I didn't want to wait and I doubt that I would have been able to get it for the $25 dollars.

In what way? It is an amazing case. I'm puzzled. Leather, fits perfectly, seems durable, very slim. Etc.

I dislike the slippery back myself. At $50, it's not worth it. At $25-30? It's a better deal, especially since their other official (and some unofficial) retail for that price, if they're not no-name eBay material.

I paid 25. I fold the cover behind the reader when I'm reading, I guess I can't envision reading any other way. Shrug.
