In addition, for anyone who's interested, the back cover is a plastic box cradle - no leather covering at all. The front cover is flat and has a soft-feel matte-black leather outside cover (with 'kobo' embossed in the bottom right corner) and a slightly fuzzy-feel inside cover. The front cover will bend right back on itself for one-handed reading. The fuzzy interior has some traction so shouldn't slide all over the place if you prop it on your knee for no-handed reading. There is a magnetic closure but no fastening strap. Good - no strap to get in the way. Bad - may not be as secure holding it shut in a stuffed bag. Only time will tell which.

Finally, is it worth £40 GBP? No. Are there likely to be lots of 3rd-party alternatives any time soon? I wouldn't have thought so if the AuraHD really is a limited edition model.
WoW - I thought it would be all it's money and more at £40 for ALL leather but to have a plastic back?
