Looks like it already shipped; the eBay tracking history shows it as 'In transit' with estimated delivery between 12/2 and 12/18 so hopefully I'll have it before Christmas.
It arrived today, 11/21, only took eight make that seven(!!) days to get to California; I've had packages from the East coast take longer, lol!

It's a lovely fit however like Lyn2012 I've had issues with the magnet. First thing I tried was laying my HD's cover over the Aura to see if it would put it in sleep mode which it did so I knew it wasn't the Aura. Next I reversed it all trying to get the Aura cover to power off the HD, it was a lot trickier - it did briefly trigger the HD off as I eased the edge of the cover across the bottom edge of the HD.

Next I tried a refrigerator magnet on both covers and readers, just to see if I could locate the magnet positions, no luck; I was however able to use the magnet on my iPad to set it to sleep mode.

Back to the Aura, I put the reading light up real high so I would be able to see when/if the cover triggers the sleep function and gently laid the cover over the face of the Aura, easing it along, making sure the edge of the cover met with the Aura as I held it at eye level to look and see it the light switched off. I did finally find the sweet spot that switched it off and then gently ease the Aura into the snapback portion of the case and it has remained off so far.

We'll see how it goes, it's a nice fitting case that closes securely so at least my Aura has some protection now and I can take with me in my purse with less worry however I will probably use the switch to put it in sleep mode rather than fuss with lining the cover up.

Can someone post a picture pointing exactly where on the Aura (and the HD if possible) the magnet is located? I just feel like a doofus that I can't find it on mine!
