If you think that all covers look bad and are just a necessary evil then you really are missing the point of the criticism of the Nia cover. A well designed cover can complement the ereader, make it easier to grip, allow you to open right where you were reading without pushing any buttons and look good doing it. We’re not talking about the uses of covers in general but how genuinely awful this one particular design is. Covers are really there to stop cosmetic damage like scratches.Ĥ. The all plastic designs of the Kindle basic, PW and all of the Kobo models are very robust. The Forma is a tank with the Mobius and plastic design, it is so good at taking a beating that it probably doesn’t even need a cover. And the 6 inch ereader hasn’t dramatically changed in dimensions and weight ever since the keyboard was dropped many years ago.ģ. The Paperwhite lineup has had almost the exact same dimensions and weight for the entire run. Devices DON’T keep getting thinner and lighter. Most covers are shell covers and don’t add that much to size or weight.Ģ. A cover doesn’t have to be clunky and heavy.
For context my gold standard is the PW4 leather covers.ġ. I will say that this cover can enter the hall of infamy of bad official covers along with the first wave of Oasis 2 covers (didn’t cover the back completely and easily fell off), the Kindle 7 covers (didn’t close properly), and the Kindle 4 covers (too easily damaged).
I like the simple design that Kobo used for years before the current gen. I don’t like the portfolio design of the Clara cover, and I don’t need the origami covers of the Libra or Forma. And I’m sure as you said it will probably add a great deal of weight as well. You can tell from other photos that the cover does NOT fold flat behind it, making it harder to read with the cover on. Those sewn edges really add to the size and bulk. It is distracting if you’re trying to read and will also emphasize the murky grayness of the eink screen. These overly bright colors are in particular problematic in this case because they wrap over the bezel. I have the gray Libra cover and the purple Forma cover and they look very nice. I’m literally looking at the only exceptions right now. They are not as good at more subtle colors like Kindle and Nook are. In general, I find Kobo covers are either garish in their bright primaries or are black. I’ve never known an official cover to cover the bezel, I had only seen it on on third party covers.
