Second, I find the outer case's blue color unpleasantly bright in contrast to my Aura's low-key espresso -- yet blue and lighter brown are the only color options offered that come close to going with espresso. They should have used darker shades for each color -- if they can match the shape of the Aura's back, they can match the espresso color as well.
Third, glued to the back part of the case is an enclosure fitted to the Aura in hard plastic. In my experience, that sort of enclosure can scratch the very devices it's supposed to protect. I never use hard shell plastic cases for my laptops for that reason.
I've contacted the store ("Chinese Smile") and hope they'll send me a replacement case without bits of imbedded glue that could damage my Aura's screen. In the whinemeal, I'll skin my Aura so that the hard plastic can't damage it. Here's hoping the skin won't affect the fit of the replacement case (assuming the people at Chinese Smile agree to send one). If it does, I'll go back to using my textured leather indigo blue pouch.

Hmm interesting, but then again that does happen when you have multiple sellers of similar products from China. My cover has no issue at all with glue or bits of plastic on the side of the cover. And I would recommend you contact paypal and lodge a defective complaint to get 100 percent of your money back or the vendor so that they can send you out a new item free of defects. As to the color well that's definitely a personal choice one makes, however it seems to me that sometimes a photo does not do the item justice because every screen shows the same image differently, as an example look at 10 lcd televisions in the show room and you will notice a wide variety of image quality on the same show being displayed 10 times or more.
