Kobo Clara BW
Accessories
Cases, styluses and lights worth owning.
The Clara BW is a plain reader and needs very little. A case is the one purchase most people should make; it protects a device that is small enough to disappear into a bag, and a folio with a sleep magnet saves battery. If you listen to Kobo audiobooks, a set of Bluetooth earbuds is the other thing worth having, since the Clara BW has no speaker or headphone socket. Picks are grouped by type below, with a note on which are cut for this device and which fit any reader.

Screen protector for the Clara BW
A matte film cut for the Clara BW's 6-inch screen. The Kobo screen is already a matte e-ink surface, so this is about scratch resistance for a small device that travels loose.
