6. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: To clean the exterior of the case, wipe it gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the synthetic leather.
• Interior: For the soft interior lining, use a dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust.
• Storage: Store the case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.
• Avoid sharp objects: Keep the case away from sharp objects to prevent scratches or punctures.

7. Troubleshooting

Issue: E-reader does not go to sleep or wake up automatically.

Possible Cause: The e-reader may not be perfectly aligned within the case, or the magnetic sensors are not engaging correctly. In some instances, folding the cover completely back behind the device might interfere with the magnetic sensor, causing unintended sleep/wake cycles.

Solution:

• Ensure your Kobo Clara HD is seated correctly and firmly within the case.
• When reading, avoid folding the cover completely flat against the back of the e-reader if it causes intermittent sleep/wake issues. Try holding the cover slightly open or using the stand function.
• Verify that the automatic sleep/wake function is enabled in your Kobo Clara HD's settings, if applicable.

Issue: Stand function is unstable or does not hold position.

Possible Cause: The folds may not be correctly formed, or the surface is uneven.

Solution:

• Ensure the cover is folded precisely along the designated creases to create a stable triangular base.
• Use the stand on a flat, stable surface.
