Picked this up during the Kobo Father's Day sale along with a Sage. This provides a very solid-feeling cover at the expense of weight--the Sage plus PowerCover is about a pound or so. I don't mind it but many people would. The ergonomics are so-so; the spot where I would naturally grip it with my left hand is right where the stylus holder is. When reading, the front cover swings around and attaches to the back magnetically, with a strong pull--the back cover won't go flopping around, that's for sure.
When the cover is on, the Sage's power button is covered, so if you leave your reader sit uncovered and it goes into standby mode, you either have to remove the Sage from the cover to press the button, or flip the cover closed and open it again.
Despite the battery having the same 1200 mAh rating as the Sage itself, the cover battery drains at approximately twice the rate of the Sage's built in battery, I assume to losses in magnetic induction. The behavior of the Sage + PowerCover in my experience is to fully exhaust the cover's battery first, keeping the Sage topped up at 99-100% the entire time. There is no way to charge the cover on its own, it must be connected to the Sage to charge (someone out there has probably figured a magnetic doodad to do it, but eh.)
All in all it's a solid well-built case but should either have a larger battery of its own or be priced around half of what it is now. I don't regret it but I don't think I would buy another one.
