MOSISO PU Leather Case Compatible with Kobo Forma 8 inch E-Reader 2018, Slim Protective Smart Folio Shell Cover with Magnetic Closure and Stand Function, Brown

Cover works great! Magnetic closure works and keeps it closed when tossed in my bag. Turns on when I open it. Only downside would be that no instructions were included in how to fold it to use it as a stand.

The 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!

this is a fraction of the cost of the one from kobo and seems to do everything that its supposed to

Good product. I have been using it for four to five hours a day since I received my Kobo Forma. The cover is light, protects the e-reader well and the magnets work like a charm. The cover works best in the landscape mode, but I, unfortunately prefer to read in the portrait mode with the buttons on which ever side I need at the time. Because of the geometry of the origami folds and material along the spine, the e-reader is canted slightly away from the spine of the fold. This is not a crisis, but worthy of comment.

This is a great case and a good value. The device fits nicely and is very light. I have not used it as a stand and probably wont because I typically hold the device to read but its nice to have. My only one small issue is that I wish it was not so shiny on the outside. I prefer a matte finish case. But it does the job.

Dont 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.

I didnt expect much for the price. I basically just wanted an alternative to the pricey official cover that didnt interfere with the charging port, as so many others seem to do. I was surprised at the high quality of this case. First, the fit and finish are nice. It feels good; it looks good; the transition between the trim and the leather is fine. The trim stays well away from the charging port, so thats not an issue at all. It does add a little weight, but thats hard to avoid with any cover. Opening and closing the cover flawlessly wakes the device and puts it to sleep. The cover doesnt flop open when its closed. The stand configuration works, but in portrait orientation the device lists to one side a bit. I dont really use this feature, so its not a big deal to me, but it may be to others.

No glaring flaws.

I really like this cover because of its design and looks and it didnt cost me a whole lot.

Fits well, works with the sleep wake functions but 4 stars for the fact that the origami function to help prop the reader up isn’t the best. It was ok at first but as it gets worn out from use (a few weeks later) and the screen is tilted to the side and falling over because the “bones” of the case aren’t rigid enough. It’s a good short term option but I’ll probably buy a different one.
