Search interest in the term ‘whimsical’ in Australia has increased by more than 40 per cent over the past month, according to Google Trends. Responding to the growing appetite for playful self-expression, Kobo is introducing a new range of limited-edition collector cases from 12 May, designed to help readers showcase their personal style while escaping into a great book.

As Australia heads into the cooler months (is anyone in Melbourne today? 🥶), Kobo is seeing increased interest in colourful, feel-good accessories that bring personality and joy into everyday routines. The new collector cases are designed for readers embracing a more expressive aesthetic while maintaining the practicality needed for daily use.

The collection features two distinct designs:

  • Green Canopy’ – a minimalist leafy design for understated style
  • Botanical Bliss’ – a more playful botanical-inspired option for readers wanting a vibrant look

The collector cases will be compatible with the Kobo Libra Colour, Kobo Clara Colour and Kobo Clara BW devices and will be exclusively available via the Kobo Australia website from 12 May.
