They're not visible, but they're easily felt. My cover had a couple of small defects in the fabric, initially hidden by the packaging: two knots of the weave that stick out a bit from the rest of the front cover. I like the Kobo Glo SleepCovers better than the Aura ones (although they can't be used with the Aura): the four corner clips work better than the two side clips the two side clips have sharpish corners that dig into my hands, and I frankly don't want business-card slots and so forth cluttering up my inside front cover (also, given that the Aura screen is flush with the bezel, rather than recessed, one needs to be particularly careful of it putting anything in those slots is just asking for trouble. However, I did not have the problem with the magnet turning the device off when I did so that others have reported. The front cover can be folded over behind the ereader, but it's stiff and difficult. It has a coarser weave to the fabric than does the gray one, making it easier to grip, and, to my mind, more pleasant to touch. I prefer fabric to leather or vinyl, and so bought one of the two fabric options that was on offer: they had a gray fabric and a pale green (very pale, like celery - although Kobo actually calls this colour "aqua " someone needs to adjust their monitor).

So far the only commentary I found comparing them was that their magnets may be stronger and they also lack a lip both combined making them harder to open. So given the fairly low price (and even given Aura is also a fairly low price) is hopefully worth it.īut still interested in hearing opinions. Even with the lowish price, it looks like those covers will be under half the price of the official one, shipped to NZ.īut I'm still leaning towards the official sleepcover since I would hope it's a resonable amount better. ![]() I'm particularly wondering how people found the official sleep cover compares to the eBay/AliExpress etc alternatives. I've seen one review which found it a decent sleepcover. ![]() Assuming it doesn't is a fairly good price for an official sleepcover. I'm hoping it won't add much to the shipping. ![]() The vendor I'm buying them from also has the official silver sleepcover for CAD15 (~USD11.40).
