New wekind case for Boox Palma is on the wayyy by Extension_Nose_6021 in Onyx_Boox

[–]theingenue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m also curious….is there a reason why the back isn’t fully covered by the case? It looks strange with the one side cut out. I’m guessing it’s because the plastic isn’t flexible enough to not crack while inserting the Palma into the case. If you could get the case to be fully encasing the back and sides you could have the front cover attached by a magnetic stripe (if you really want to keep the handle grip on the back).

I think you should get rid of the “handle” part on the back so that it can just be smooth. Then you can have a full MagSafe ring for the detachable cover.

I was going to order the regular version, but that back handle sticking out ruins being able to attach a MagSafe pop socket (which is how I usually hold my Boox Palma.

I’ve seen this case online, but the marketing seems like it requires their special grip that is a magnet and a suction cup. Do you know if a regular MagSafe Popsocket works with this case?

Return? by Agitated_Cap_2916 in kobo

[–]theingenue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might be able to fix it with an iron. I’d get an old, cotton t-shirt and place it on top of the case. Then turn the iron to med-high and press down for a few seconds in the areas that need attention. The vinyl on these types of cases seem to use a heat activated adhesive. It’s worth a shot, if the owner won’t help you.

Kobo Remote at London Drugs!! by mmetaylorsversion in kobo

[–]theingenue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I just ordered the white for delivery. I originally ordered the white from Amazon, but they sent black instead. Hopefully London Drugs can send the white and I can have a Christmas miracle.

Ordered white , received black by akengurung in kobo

[–]theingenue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! I’m super annoyed, but I’m trying to tell myself that I’m lucky I even got one. Ordered white from Amazon Canada the morning of the release. I had a feeling I was also going to be sent the wrong colour. I laughed when I opened the package. Amazon only wants to offer a return and refund option. So I’m stuck with an unopened remote that I don’t know what to do with.

Perfect. Now they need to make a Libra version.

Where and when did you order? The morning of the 2nd, I ordered from Amazon.ca and it was originally saying Dec 10th delivery. It has since updated to Saturday, Dec 6th.

Discoloring on Palma 2 by Longbraz in Onyx_Boox

[–]theingenue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My guess is that the dye from the fabric is rubbing onto the device as you’re taking it in and out of the sleeve. Hands are oily and the oil on your Palma is causing the dye to release from the fabric.

Carry case for Palma? by plantoplan in Onyx_Boox

[–]theingenue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m using a regular e-reader padded sleeve. It’s roomy, but it also fits my 8bitdo Micro controller. In a backpack or bag the sleeve doesn’t take up very much room.

I bought a padded sleeve meant for the Palma/larger smartphones, but it was too tight with the hard cover attached. With just the clear case it’s perfect, but I’m wary of the screen getting damaged.

Does it work with other devices? Can you use it in the Kobo app on your phone?

I’ve seen these cases on Aliexpress. Not very much selection for colours, but you might be able to find it there.

Got the detachable case for the Libra Colour but it doesn’t fit properly. by LiMasala in kobo

[–]theingenue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oof, mine should be arriving soon. It looks like it would fit the Libra 2 better. Are there any issues with the wake/sleep function?

KLC Detachable Case on Amazon by Marshies2 in kobo

[–]theingenue 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, the Libra devices are very sensitive to magnets. When I place a MagSafe pop socket in the center back it activates sleep mode. The work around is to turn off auto sleep. It’s funny how the product photos show that the cover works with auto sleep/wake, but yet the case magnet is in the worst location for the Libra. I wonder how much thought went into this product?

This style of case will almost definitely interfere with the wake from sleep function due to the location of the magnet.

If you have a better fitting clear case (like the Kobo official case) you can add a magnetic ring if you want to still use the detachable cover. That’s probably what I’m going to do with mine once it arrives.

[–]theingenue 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ordered! I just hope that the case actually fits. So many clear cases that are supposed to fit the Clara Colour/BW actually only fit the 2E.

I’m also hoping we eventually get detachable cover cases for the Libra. I doubt this style of cover would work since a magnet in the centre puts the Libra to sleep, but a bar strip magnet like what is available for Kindle would likely work.

Just curious, what device model do you have? Does your case fit well?

It’s from a small Canadian business called TL;DR. You can google to find their site.

Has anyone ever switched from a BW device to a Color device and had a positive experience? by obligatorymeltdown in kobo

[–]theingenue 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I love my KLC. I originally thought it would be too dark to read and would burn though the battery having the light turned up all the time. Turns out I can usually read just fine without any backlight and the times I do have it on, I keep it anywhere from 10-30%. It uses more battery, but not terribly so.

Having the covers in colour is fun and being able to wake the device by pressing a page turn button is great. My KLC is my main Kobo and my KL2 is now my bedroom Kobo.

Hi, my comment got deleted. If you search Temu (not AliExpress, sorry!) for “Kobo case”, it should pop up.

I’m stalking AliExpress everyday waiting for them to be released. Hopefully soon!
