I can tell you this from experience: Do not buy the official Kobo case. In addition to being overpriced and fatally combining black with dark brown, the case's plastic back cover clones that of the HD itself. A cover should offer more grip than the naked device, yet the official cover doesn't.

The Noreve cases look lovely, and the selection of leather appears to be the best (I'm partial to "Ambition" (textured grain leather) in cobalt and "Exception" (suede) in sable, jean or mandarine vintage), but Mother of Scrod, they're expensive, and the fellow who actually bought one on MR remarked on their being a tad heavy and thick.

Because I have the Espresso AHD, I like this one in navy. A lot of people have liked this one as well, but my light blue case arrived damaged (I bought it on ebay, which was a mistake) and the color choices are a tad garish for me. If you like the available colors, then the solution to quality control seems to be to buy yours on Amazon.
