PocketBook E-Reader Cover for Era | Smart Sleep Function | 7-inch Shell Case | Durable Protection | Lightweight Cases Perfect for Travel | E-Book Reader Case in Black

This shell case is essentially a thin, smelly piece of shaped plastic with a magnet inside. It works as advertised - the sleep function activates just fine, and the clamps offer some protection around the corners, but that's about it.The off-brand competitors offer much sturdier, thicker protective shells. The only reason to buy this particular case over them is because, at the time of writing this review, there is no alternative that also has corner clamps. Other cases out there either wrap over the flat front surface, protruding above it and thus defeating the point of the flush screen, or attach themselves to the back of the ereader with magnets, which is not a very secure design. And of course, there is another official Pocketbook cover that goes under the detachable section in the back of the ereader and doesn't protect the back against anything at all, so the less said about it, the better.This is a good option if you need a case that barely weighs anything and barely increases the thickness of the device, but I wouldn't trust it to keep my ereader safe from fall damage, nor does the shell itself look particularly impressive. No prints, no colours, no patterns - just plain black surface. And did I mention the weird chemical smell yet? It'll probably (hopefully) evaporate over time, but you gotta be ready for it.Good thing that Era itself looks so gorgeous in all its flush-screen glory, or I would've given it three stars only. How much greedier can you get, Pocketbook?Update: A week later, and the case still greets me with a waft of acrid, penetrating smell of cheap plastic whenever I pick up the ereader. Minus one star.

It feels very premium, much better than the other pocketbook era cover that attaches to the edge. Wonderful to hold and I doubt I could find a better case.

Heel fijn hoesje! Past perfect en beschermt de ereader goed. De ereader gaat niet automatisch aan/uit bij openen of dichtklappen. Maar misschien zit dat nog in de instelling ergens verstopt?

Gut.

There aren’t any other case options for this device. It’s was a very expensive albeit well fitting case.. shipped from Germany.
