It's not super slippery, due to the shape helping with the gripping (easier to grab something with curves/angles than a flat box)... but a skin is something I put on mine. InvisibleShield helped immensely with that. The slight rubberized texture is something that was really needed.

It's a bit small, but surprisingly fast with non-graphic heavy PDFs. I've put some rule books on, and tables are rather readable. More so than the Glo.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to tweak it to remove the 2cm border at the bottom, or to minimize it?

But.... the darn thing won't fit in my Kobo Glo sleeves! (of course.)
So had to come up with an emergency sleeve, just to keep her safe after I'm done reading each night, and to be sure we're both tucked in snug and tight.
After a quick snip of the scissors (not shown), these snapshots show the official tucking in... And all is well  |
Tried an old Kindle 3 sleeve? I had a Tumbuk2 one for a Kindle Keyboard, and the Aura fits like the sleeve was made for it.
