The cover is faux leather, and not very convincing. It is functional rather than beautiful. It feels a little flimsy, but it only weighs 78gms.
Here are some photos with the reader in the cover.

The reader is secured in a plastic cradle. It fits snugly but is also quite easy to remove. You will see the cover is the exact size of the reader. The front of the cover also bends backwards quite easily (the spine is some kind of flexible plastic). All the ports and switches are accessible. It seems to be well designed and well constructed albeit the materials are a little cheap.
The sleep function works perfectly and the front cover is secured by a strong magnetic clasp.
For a cover that cost $10 including postage, I am very happy. I suspect that, in practice, I would rather have the official cover as it is a little oversized and that may make the Aura easier to hold and give some protection to the SD card. However, this cover works, and it is cheap and light.

Personally I think these cheaper covers are great. I have an official cover for sale though if you are interested.
