I'm ordering one in brown.
It's probably on other amazons sites, too.
The reason I used amazon instead of ebay is: I don't have a ebay account, I needed to add something to my amazon order to make it free, usually takes 4 weeks for things from china to reach me and I wanted it now XD and I'd read here reports from Prestidigitweeze & others buying it from ebay (I think!) and being unsatisfied.
It appears the quality differs depending on the vendor? I mean they all look the same, but some buyers, like me, are totally impressed and satisfied, others have units with glue stuck on it or where the aura doesn't fit well.

there have been a few comments on this thread about this type of cover

yes I'm glad too XD
well the other ebay cover wasn't that bad, in the end (also it was cheap), I was using it, the main problem for me was that it was too soft
Yeah I'm starting to think they differ, I was a bit anxious when I ordered, because I remembered your experience, but seeing all those 5 stars review, I said, ok, I'll try, it's amazon here in my country, if I don't like it I'll send it back.
