tape all the sides especially the top and bottom of the cover... you can also provide pics so we will roughly know where the leaks are coming from... check out www.squarefrog.co.uk for pics on where to tape up

i think your light leaks are coming from two holes in the holga itself try taking off the mask, you'll see two holes on the top, tape them up and see whether you still have light leaks

Which side is the top when you took the picture..? Seems to me that the back is not clasped tightly.

Just checking, what tape is used to tape up the holga? Gaffer tape seems pretty ex to me. Other options?

Curious about that too.. saw online, people selling gaffer tape at $25-$40 =\ If can, please post a close up pix of the tapes recommended (they tend to look the same =x). Till today, I still have no idea how gaffer tape should look like at both sides (top surface and sticky side) even with its technical description given. Sigh!
