They refunded the purchase price through Paypal without problems, although they did keep the shipment costs (€5), which, according to EU law, they should have also refunded. I'm not going to start a legal battle over €5 though. Not worth my time. I've lost more money by buying games on recommendations and sales (and having them deleted afterward because I didn't find them worth my time) on GOG.com.
I'm going to lose even more by selling the Aura ONE.
If I were you, I'd mail them, and have them send the case with flap, if they don't want to refund, and then sell the case for €45 or so.

Yes, mine was costum-made. What maddens me about it is, I sent it back because the magnetic closure didn't work. I regularily fall asleep while reading and then the reader falls to the ground a lot of times. So the case offered no protection for my needs. Now they want to send me one that has no magnet at all, which means it is as useless for me as the other one.
Selling will be a huge problem, I went for the mint suede. No one but me would like to have a cover that is so prone to dirty up in an instant.
This was just a tremendous waste of money and time. Not only did I lose the cost of the cover but also postage, which comes down to approx. 70€. And they are so stubborn and quite frankly stupid. Their command of the English language seems to be very rudimentary. They can't even tell me when they intend to send the new cover even though it has been three weeks now.
Next time I feel the urge to buy something to make me happy, I'll just hand the money over to a beggar.
Why is it you'll loose money on the Aura? They aren't available right now and it's Christmas, you should be able to sell it like hot cakes.
