A big thank you to everyone for all your suggestions.
First I tested the Aura using a fridge magnet - it switches on and off perfectly, so I haven't tried resetting or anything. Regarding the positioning of the magnet on my Aura, it doesn't appear to be on the bottom bezel at all, it works best by placing the magnet about 1" in and 1" up from the bottom right corner of the screen. When I look closely at my case I can see where the magnet is placed - it looks to be in the correct area. I then tried closing the case normally and then pressing gently over the area where the magnet is. Hey presto, the Aura switches off!
Obviously I am not happy with this solution as I cannot be certain that the Aura will remain off when it is in my bag - I certainly don't want the battery to keep draining unnecessarily.
@gargoyle67 I am pleased to know that your cover works properly, I'm wondering if there is a different strength magnet in the black covers .... or maybe just positioned slightly better? I don't know but I will be contacting the seller to see what they have to say.
@Nightyume I hope your cover turns up soon - and that it works properly. When it does, please would you post and let me know, also which colour you ordered.
