[Designed for Kobo] Remote, Stouchi #1 No-Clip Multi-Function Page Turner
Quick take
The Stouchi #1 is a no-clip, wearable Bluetooth page-turner ring designed for specific Kobo eReaders. It lets you turn pages with a finger tap while keeping your screen unobstructed, and it also offers extra controls like audiobook skip and Sleep/Wake.
The biggest practical gotcha is setup reliability, some users may need to update Kobo firmware before pairing works, and after the Kobo goes to sleep, the remote cannot wake it.
Pros and cons
Pros
- No clamp design, so you avoid bulky screen-blocking page-turner styles.
- Multi-function controls beyond page turns (Next/Previous, audiobook ±30s skip, Sleep/Wake, and Home).
- Rechargeable ring plus USB-C charging case, rated for 12+ hours per charge and 140+ hours total with the case.
- Made for Kobo models including Clara BW/Colour, Libra Colour/2, Clara 2E, Elipsa 2E, and Sage.
Cons
- If pairing fails, you may need to follow Kobo firmware update steps to get Bluetooth page turning working.
- It cannot wake the Kobo after the reader has gone to sleep.
- Limited to Kobo pairing behavior, it is not intended for other readers or third-party setups like KoReader.
What buyers think
Buyer feedback points to easy pairing and comfortable use for hands-free reading on Kobo models like Libra Colour, Libra 2, and Clara Color. Users generally describe the ring as convenient for reading in bed or under blankets, and they appreciate that it avoids clamp-style screen blocking.
Where experiences vary, it tends to be around getting it working the first time. One recurring theme is that Bluetooth page-turning may require specific Kobo setup steps (such as firmware updates) if the ring does not respond immediately after connecting.
How the Stouchi #1 page-turner ring works
This is a wearable remote that uses Bluetooth to control your Kobo from your finger, using button taps for actions. It is designed to keep the screen fully visible, so you do not have to clamp anything onto the bezel or compromise what you see.
Controls you can use while reading
- Next and previous page turning.
- Audiobook controls, including skip forward and back (±30 seconds).
- Sleep/Wake and Home control for quick navigation.
Compatibility, pairing, and setup expectations
The ring is intended for a focused set of Kobo eReaders: Clara BW, Clara Colour, Libra Colour, Libra 2, Clara 2E, Elipsa 2E, and Sage. If you own one of these supported models, the intended experience is fast pairing and straightforward usage.
If the remote does not respond right away after connecting, plan for a troubleshooting step that may involve Kobo firmware update instructions. Also note the sleep behavior, the ring cannot wake the device after about 30 seconds of sleep, so you will need to wake the Kobo by its normal method.
Battery life and charging case practicalities
On a single charge, the ring is rated for 12+ hours. The included USB-C charging case is rated for 140+ hours total, which is helpful if you read occasionally on travel days or want to minimize daily charging.
If you prefer to know your exact charge level at a glance, that uncertainty may be a minor annoyance.
Pros and cons for different reading situations
Best for
- People who want hands-free page turns without a clamp or screen-blocking accessory.
- Bedtime readers who value minimizing hand movement.
- Kobo owners who want multi-function controls, including audiobook skipping.
- Readers who travel and want a rechargeable setup with a compact charging case.
Who should avoid it
- If you need a device that can wake the Kobo after it goes to sleep.
- If you use KoReader (or other non-stock setups) and expect this to work the same way.
- If you are not willing to do firmware or setup troubleshooting if pairing does not behave immediately.
Is it worth it?
The Stouchi #1 is worth considering if your top priority is comfortable, no-clip page turning on a compatible Kobo model, plus extra controls for navigation and audiobooks. It also makes sense if you prefer rechargeable operation over disposable batteries and want a charging case for longer stretches away from a charger.
However, it is not a universal solution. If your Kobo setup is picky at pairing time, or if you rely on the eReader sleeping overnight and you expect the ring to wake it, you may be better off choosing a different category of page-turner that fits your exact workflow.
FAQ
Does the Stouchi #1 page-turner ring work with all Kobo models?

How does the charging case extend battery life?
The USB-C charging case is rated for 140+ hours total, depending on how often you use the ring and how you charge it.
