Got it!. Can't take pictures right now as I'm at work. I won't have much time later either because I'll be out for the evening.
However, I can give a few first impressions: very plush,
very high quality, smells gorgeous, nice to the touch.
It holds the reader very firmly; quite a tight fit; no fear of it falling out. It takes an effort to remove the device from the case, but I don't fear that I'm going to break the Aura HD in doing so.
Its heavy though - at 225g (almost 8oz) it's almost as heavy as the Aura HD itself so those who value a lightweight device might not like it, because you're almost doubling the weight. I suspect it's because underneath all that leather is a chassis fabricated from metal. That also makes the case feel solid and well crafted. It sure feels like good protection, but I'm not going to take it for granted given what robko has said.
Also it isn't automatically putting the device to sleep. Norêve's website said its supposed to. Having played with it, there
is a magnet somewhere in the cover (the compass app in my phone detects it), but my Aura HD doesn't seem to be responding to it. I've checked the settings in preferences and auto-sleep is enabled. So I suspect it might be a fault with the reader, but I'm loathed to send my Aura back.
The Ambition Châtaigne Couture colour is darker than shown
here and not as dark as shown
here, but it does work with the Espresso. Pictures now posted further down in
this post here.
Overall, I'm impressed and pleased.
