Nate:

I won't ask which case-maker you polled -- since you'd have told us if it had been any of our business -- but I'd love to know what sort of cases are made by the person you contacted and whether said cases are manufactured in bulk.

And, no, you didn't miss any accessory that I happened to be talking about. Thanks for doing the research.

However, I'm still not convinced that what might be possible is therefore true. A lot of companies make missteps when initiating a new kind of product. Why should Kobo be different?

I remain skeptical of the idea that sudden haste had anything to do with the smooth back of the Aura, flaws in the Aura's screen filter, freezes and lockups, etc.

What seems especially unusual about the entire launch is the idea of launching any major product as a kind of experiment. One gets the sense Kobo is testing the Aura and will either kill it or release it in a more polished form (and possibly under a slightly different name).
