I'm basically torn between the Noreve and Cover-Up cases. Unfortunately they only come from Europe, so it's a bit of a gamble regarding duties/import fees. I've asked Noreve (Cover-up states that the buyer is responsible).
The two things that worry me about the Noreve cases for an e-reader specifically are the fact that when it's in hand-held "fodled back" reading position, the "clip" the pulls the case shut is in the middle on the right side - meaning it'll be tough to comfortable hold it. The other thing that worries me is the comfort of the embossed logo on the interior leather - i'd rather have a smooth surface there than a textured one.
I guess that's specific to me, though - I like that the Aura, on its own, doesn't need to be "held open" - so the case I'm looking for needs to be comfortable when folded back on itself. Seems like the Noreve cases will be most comfortable when held open like a book... so maybe add this consideration to the review that you will be doing down the road!
I'm also waiting to hear from Cover-Up, regarding refunds for duties on returns... if they have a policy in place and I don't have to worry about needlessly paying duties, maybe I'll pick one up for the sake of getting another review in here!
Seems like the Gecko covers are nice, too - can anyone confirm if the back is the faux-leather as well? Looks like the ebay ones are hard plastic
