I don't really find it too slippery to hold, but it's more prone to slide when you set it down on a handy surface like your leg or a seat cushion - more likely to slide off and drop to the floor than the Touch was.

The hard smooth plastic surface is less pleasant to grip than the Touch, and the sharper corner digs into my hand more, especially with the greater weight of the Aura.

Also the shiny surface shows fingerprints and smudges much more, which I find a bit bothersome as the light reflects off it when reading outdoors.

I think there's been enough complaint about the Aura case design and surface coating that Kobo will smarten up and do something better with their next model.
