Kobo Sage SleepCover Case | Black | Sleep/Wake Technology | Built-in 2-Way Stand | Vegan Leather | Compatible with 8” Kobo Sage eReader

Does the job.

So yes the sleep cover aspect works. It’ll provide some level of protection for your Kobo Sage. But it’s going to come at a cost and it’s the weight. The Sage is by no means a light ereader, coming in heavier than the model it replaced. And this cover halves again at least the weight. It’s fine if you’re sitting up but if you’re laying down it becomes a bit frustrating.It’s a shame too because they could have made this lighter by using different materials. It could have been thinner overall as well.Ultimately this does what it’s advertised to do. But I wouldn’t recommend it. The level of protection isn’t significant unless you throw your Sage into a big backpack without a care.

I got mine from ebay because I couldn't find it on Amazon back in December but I wanted to leave a review. I could not find any 3rd party covers except for one seller with about a dozen designs but all a bit too flashy and none that I liked so I bought the official one for $55. It is very soft and safe for screen, very simple and elegant design. It works very well as a sleep cover, but as another review already mentions, it blocks the power button, which you probably don't need to use anymore except if the sage falls asleep with the cover off, you have to put it on and off to turn off sleep mode, which isn't too big a deal but a design flaw. Also, I'm not sure how it actually works, how it detects the cover, but it's magnetic. I placed it on a metal surface with the cover off and it puts the sage in sleep mode, as if the cover is on. Just something to note.Also, the top and bottom of the spine had a sliver of the material rip away, again not a big deal, I just cut it so the rip doesn't spread, but it is looking wore and I've only had it for 3 months.Overall I would recommend it, seeing as there's little 3rd party options right now; I liked it more than I expected and works great but it is pricey for the craftsmanship. In 1yr from now, there might be more options that can be better but right now it's the best.
