I have gotten around this by using a small strip of rubber shelf liner between the covers right near the edge. The extra couple of millimeter thickness works to keep the magnet away from the sensor, and the rubber doesn't slip. (I had this on hand already originally purchased from the dollar store) If I am going out I manually put it to sleep and insert the strip inside the case beside the glass - I originally didn't put it to sleep but it would turn the page on me! If I'm just staying home, I close it normally and place the strip on top of the case. Its nonslippiness helps not losing it.

I am guessing that the Aura would not have this problem because of the ridged back.
Still though its something to bear in mind. You may be right. I like it because the leather backing will give this less of the slip feel so many are talking about.
