Dear Gouni,
We are sorry to disappoint you with the click-in case. At the moment, it is too difficult for us to create a special PC shell for the Kobo Aura, like we did for the Kobo Glo (since it is a limited edition e-reader). If you like to cancel your order, please contact info@geckocovers.com. My apologies for the inconvenience. Sincerely, Luke from Gecko Covers. Last edited by Klein Nijenhuis; 06-06-2013 at 05:01 AM. |

Quick update. Just this afternoon I got the confirmation that we can start producing Kobo Aura covers with click-in shell. Unfortunately, it will take some time before we have them in store, but probably around the 3d week of July.

Thanks for the heads-up. I just wrote and asked Gecko to convert my order to wait for the click-in version.

For the person who posted about skins for the Aura. I was talking with one of the employees of DecalGirl and they advised that they should have Aura skins in 3-4 weeks time. I also checked with Gelaskins (I have one for my Touch and love it) but it doesn't look like they have any plans to make skins for the Aura.

That is excellent news! One thing I'd like to mention is that a disproportionate number of Aura users have the Espresso model (both the e-reader and original case sold out first in that color) and are looking for cases that compliment dark brown. Blue works particularly well with brown, so I wonder whether you'd consider making a denim version of the leather hard case. If not, consider a pure blue model, not simply a mixed-color case with blue accents. And since the Espresso is a very dark brown, perhaps 3275A8 in RGB (653C in Pantone), 3858A2 or even a very light blue might work best. 653C 3858A2 Certain shades of light green would work as well, but then the case would be less male-friendly, and you've already got the opposite with pink, which does go well with brown.

@Prestidigitweeze. Thanks for suggesting. Blue is of course always a colour to consider. When we have some samples/pictures of the slimfit-design and colours, I will let you guys know / post it here.

When you're considering which colors to add, remember that the Aura came in brown, white and black, that the first two colors sold out first, and that, since the black covers remained in stock while the other two sold out in hours, many users are probably looking for colors that compliment white and dark brown. A brown case that matched the color of the espresso would also be excellent (though would entail your matching the color of that Kobo model), and would certainly sell to owners of both white model and espresso Auras. |

I purchased a leather(ish) sleep cover from a Chinese distributor via eBay for less than $14 with free shipping. It is designed specifically for the Aura and it works perfectly.
Check it out: http://www.ebay.com/itm/390603509636...84.m1497.l2649 It also has a pen holder and a front pocket. Cheap, brilliant, fits perfectly, built for the Aura HD, and shipped quickly from Hong Kong. I couldn't ask for more. It also comes in other colors for those of you who aren't still going through your Purple Rain phase. |
