Kobo Clara Colour/BW SleepCover Case (Black)
Quick take
This SleepCover case is made to fit Kobo Clara Colour and Kobo Clara BW, adding automatic sleep and wake when you open or close the cover. It also folds into an upright, two-way stand for reading in portrait or landscape. The main catch is that it is not water resistant and it can add a bit of bulk and weight compared with using the eReader bare.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Sleep and wake function activates when you open and close the cover (battery-saving convenience).
- Built-in two-way stand props the reader up in both portrait and landscape.
- Made with recycled material, and designed to snap on securely.
- Generally described as well made and not bulky for everyday carrying.
Cons
- Not water resistant, so it is not a “set it and forget it” option for wet conditions.
- Adds some extra weight, which can matter if you carry your Clara for long stretches.
- Only compatible with the Clara Colour/BW, so it does not fit other Kobo models.
What buyers think
Buyer feedback is mostly consistent around three practical areas: fit and attachment, the feel and look of the vegan leather-style cover, and how well the stand and magnetic sleep/wake behavior work day to day. Many comments describe the case as secure to snap on, attractive, and not overly bulky for pocket-and-bag use. Stand and magnet behavior also comes up repeatedly, with buyers highlighting smooth folding into a reading position and an “elegant” sleep/wake experience. The most commonly mentioned downside is added weight, not major quality problems. Overall, buyer-review evidence supports that the case functions as intended for Kobo Clara Colour/BW owners, with the biggest consideration being portability versus going caseless.
What this case is designed to do
The Kobo Clara Colour/BW SleepCover Case is a purpose-built folio that protects the eReader’s screen while adding two everyday features: automatic sleep/wake and a built-in stand. If you like reading for short sessions in different places (bed, couch, commute, desk), these features are meant to reduce friction, because you do not have to manually power down or prop the device with extra accessories.
Sleep and wake magnets: convenience that can help battery life
When the cover is opened, the case wakes the eReader. When it is closed, it puts the device to sleep. That behavior is especially useful for people who frequently close the cover between chapters, or who want the device to stop running when it is going into a bag. In day-to-day use, this also helps reduce “did I leave it on?” moments.
A built-in two-way stand for portrait and landscape
The integrated stand is meant to keep your Clara upright without extra tools. The design supports both portrait and landscape viewing, which is handy if you alternate between casual reading angles (portrait) and a wider layout (landscape). Buyers frequently mention the fold-to-stand mechanism feeling smooth and staying tidy rather than floppy when it is not in stand mode.
Material and protection: vegan leather style plus secure snapping
This is a vegan leather-style cover made with recycled materials, designed for a clean, non-fussy exterior. Review themes point to a “not cheap-looking” feel and a solid build that snaps on securely. Because it is a folio cover, it is primarily intended for screen and front protection during travel and everyday handling, rather than for heavy-duty outdoor use.
Portability and weight: the tradeoff to expect
Most folio cases add some bulk, and this one is no exception. If your top priority is the lightest possible setup, compare your tolerance for added grams against the convenience of sleep/wake and the stand.
Compatibility matters more than anything
This SleepCover is compatible with the 6-inch Kobo Clara Colour and Kobo Clara BW models. If you have a different Kobo eReader size or model, this is not the right fit. Double-check your Clara model before buying to avoid mismatched buttons or misaligned stand geometry.
Pros and cons summary
- Best for: Kobo Clara Colour or Clara BW owners who want an official-style sleep/wake experience, a built-in two-way stand, and a case that snaps on securely for commuting and bag use.
- Consider if: you read in different orientations (portrait and landscape) and want a folio that doubles as a viewing stand.
- Skip it if: you need water resistance or you strongly prefer the lightest possible eReader setup.
Verdict
The Kobo Clara Colour/BW SleepCover Case is a solid, convenience-focused choice for Clara owners. The sleep/wake magnets and integrated two-way stand are the standout features, and buyer feedback broadly supports that it feels well made and functions smoothly in daily use. Choose it if you value portability with features, and keep in mind the case is not water resistant and will add some weight versus using the Clara without a cover.
