> 3 dayAfter seeing at first that I could buy such a case (name-brand) for a mere $40 or $50, I thought: Nah, Ill pass. Then I ran across this one on Amazon and ordered it. It does the job. Closing the flap puts the Kobo into sleep mode and opening the flap makes the device live again. The Kobos on-off button is kind of irritating, so this is a nice feature.

> 3 dayThe first case I received had sizing off by 1-2mm (too large). I asked the seller (MOSISO) about it, and they promptly shipped out the replacement. The new one fits perfectly!

> 3 dayI ordered this cover for my Kobo Forma. It is much cheaper than the original one (half price). It fits my reader perfectly and works just as what the description says.

> 3 dayThis cover looks nice, and when I open it, my Kobo wakes up from sleep. Of course it adds some weight, so some people might feel more comfortable to take if off, particularly if you plan to read for a long time. You can also use this cover to support the kindle when reading.

> 3 dayDont be me. Im a weirdo who spent like 2 days (!) deliberating whether to shell out $50 for the original SleepCover case vs. ordering this one for 1/5th the price, ordered this one, decided he hated it, ordered the SleepCover, and fell in love with it. I can attest that there really is a vast difference in quality between this case and the original SleepCover, and yes, I think that if you arent hurting for money, its worth paying 5x as much for the real deal. I do think the experience is 5x better, and Ill try to make a case for why. First, and this was what pushed me to order the SleepCover, this case just doesnt stay open. The magnets on the side are not strong enough to keep the case cover magnetized to the back of the device while youre reading. The lid will fall free if you arent holding it. The SleepCover has no such problems. Its lid stays magnetized to the back of the device when open. Secondly, this case is made from some strange plastic that is way shinier IRL than it appears in the product photography. It looks a little like the case is covered in shrink-wrap. It feels weirdly slick to the touch. Conversely, the shell of the SleepCover is made from some kind of matte, fake-leather material. Granted, I think it might be less durable than this cover, but the visual and tactile experience of the original case is much better. Finally, if you want to use the case as an origami stand, it does not stand up straight. It tilts to one side. The SleepCover feels a lot more precise, and when you fold it up in the same way, it stands up with no issues. I dont use this feature often, but if that matters to you, definitely invest in something better. If this case works for you, I dont want to yuck your yum. I do think this case is excellent value for the money. But to me, when compared side-by-side with the SleepCover, theres just no competition. The SleepCover looks better, feels better, and functions better.
