I like the outside looks of that.

But for me, I want one that will ALSO cover the bezel. I personally dislike the 'wear and tear' look that occurs when the bezel starts to show that wear.

Are there some photos of this Gecko Deluxe showing the inside and how the Kobo is affixed to the case?

The one below is for the Kobo Aura, I think.

Thanks.

I hope they continue to cover the FULL bezel like in the photo you posted. For the Glo and the Aura HD covers they had a cutout for the logo which I did not like at all.

I don't like that, either. I covered the logo with black electrical tape.

The official Aura H2O Sleepcover is available for preorder on Kobo USA's site. No release date yet, $40. Too steep for me, gonna wait for coodio to come out with something, they look pretty nice.

I saw it on Kobos site for £30, though the £34 postage on top really put me off!

I know, all I did was change the .es to .co.uk

I'm currently using a cheap case I picked up from Sainsburys which is doing the job but has the drawback the corner straps rather cover the power button...

I noticed that the pink and turquoise photos on this item show a different case, the clip in ultra slim ones that don't cover the bezel. When I contacted the seller, he said he expects to have the ultra slim cases in stock in 2-3 weeks.

simond · 10-03-2014, 11:24 AM

I much prefer slim cases for my ebook readers, so I'll be holding off buying a new cover for a while until I find one I like

Thanks for that, I'll keep an eye out as I also like the ultra slim case as well. I've decided to defintely wait until I can see a demo model in WHSmith before I get one, by then I'll have the Voyage as well. It's probably something I'll get after Christmas as I want to sell my 6 inch kobo Aura first.

I'm afraid that all the covers I've seen so far can't match with the flap over the usb port and you'll have to take the reader out when you need to remove the flap and recharge it...

....because more than likely those covers were made for the Kobo Aura HD, and not specifically for the H2O.

That would be my guess.

Well that was quick - the H2O sleepcover is showing as "Out of Stock" on the Kobo Accessories page.
