E-book readers are not as popular as the all-purpose tablets. Nevertheless, these devices cater to a special population whose intention is to just read e-books and digital contents. Why not. E-book readers don’t require plenty of attention or intensive learning. You can lie down on the sofa or the bed with a book to read. And for many people, choosing a protective case is a less important task. But if you want your devices to last, you have to provide protection so they can serve you a long time. When it comes to choosing a case, it must be an exact fit. You’ve got your match with the Kobo Forma 8 inch Magnetic Protective Case by Forefront Cases. This Kobo Forma 2018 8" case has the right size to give full device protection. With a polycarbonate casing, it’s up to the challenge of protecting your Kobo from falls, dents, and bumps. Moreover: It has precise cut-outs that won’t obstruct the ports and buttons. The dual magnetic cover holds the front lid in place. A smart sleep/wake function is available to prevent battery drain when you’re not using your device. The unique shell design helps you attain a sturdy, balanced position while reading. With the finest synthetic materials and anti-dust suede microfibre, our case exudes style while providing protection. You won’t find many cases specifically designed for Kobo Forma. Look no further. Add the Kobo Forma Magnetic Protective Case by Forefront Cases to your basket today!

Well worth the price and does the job.
I've been using this every day for nearly two months , and so far it's been perfect.It's sturdy, fits perfectly and the surface is textured, which I think feels more comfortable than the PU leather covers.This is the third cover that I've had, and the other two had the same fault, which was that the magnets fell out after a short time. The other covers had a metal strip which held the cover closed, and I think that, because the magnets are so strong, when you closed the cover the impact weakened the plastic around the magnets, causing it to split.This cover has the metal strip enclosed in the fabric of the cover, which I think does two things:- 1. it softens the impact on the magnet, and 2. it lessens the "pull" of the magnet a little. I'm optimistic that this will stop the magnet from being dislodged. Having said that, it still closes firmly. It also looks neater in my opinion.I am very pleased with this cover, and I would recommend it.8 MONTHS ON.This cover is still performing perfectly. There are no signs of the magnet becoming loose, and it is used every day. I cannot find any fault with it.By this time, I would have had problems with the other covers that I had bought in the past, so l am very pleased to have bought this one.

Just the job
I wanted a case for my Kobo Forma that fulfilled two specific needs - namely, protecting the device and enabling me to read one-handedly in comfort. In those respects, this particular Forefront case is far better (not to mention a whole lot cheaper) than the official Kobo cover. It doesn't have the official cover's so-called origami effect, which enables users to prop the device up, but to me that's a plus-point, the origami-style devices being both ugly and less satisfyingly sturdy to grip.Instead, this Forefront device has a standard book-style front cover, which folds back neatly and which, when I effortlessly tuck my fingers beneath the slim flap on its right-hand side, provides a very comfortable and firm means of holding the device. It's significantly better than trying to hold the Forma with no cover at all, which, owing to its size, soon becomes unwieldy.It does occasionally pick up marks and smudges but these are easily wiped free with a slightly dampened cloth.I only wish there were one or two other colours. The black is great, but I'd love a couple of extra options that weren't as garish as, say, the orange and green versions. Maybe a nice burgundy or tan, for instance.

Does the job but a bit bulky, slightly creaky and the exposed magnet is a bit rough
For the money this is reasonable. It offers decent protection to the e-reader but at the expense of added bulk and handling-comfort. Not sure I'd expect much more for the money and certainly seems better than some other alternatives at higher prices.What's not obvious from the product shots is that there is an exposed silver magnet at the right-hand-edge of the case which is slightly rough to the touch (unable to upload a pic via Chrome, sorry!). The case is also not a brilliant fit and the reader can move in and out slightly at the same right-hand edge when held in your right hand with your thumb on the face of the bezel, causing a 'creak' or 'click' as it does so. Not the end of the world but mildly irritating nonetheless. Reasonable value and inoffensive looking case that will help protect your older model Kobo H2O.

A great product which works well!
The cover fits the Kobo Aura 2nd Edition very nicely, keeping it safe and protected. The design is quite nice as well - it doesn't add too much bulk to the otherwise thin Kobo. The Auto Sleep feature works great as well, it is very handy to be able to put the ereader to sleep by just closing the front flap. A great product which gets only 4 stars due to the range of colours, which I didn't much like and I was forced to choose white which is not entirely practical.

Good case
It's a good case. The plastic shell that holds in the reader is much more flexible than my last one (a cheaper ebay one that cracked and chipped on the corners and eventually broke completely), and looks like it will take a few knocks without breaking. The sleep/wake function works well except that it puts the reader to sleep if you fold it back - not a problem really. It fits well enough and does its job of protecting the reader, so at the price nothing to really complain about.
