![]() ![]() The inside cover has a series of vertical ridges which seem out of place until you open it up and hold the e-reader like a paperback. All of the ports and switches are unobstructed (including the reset) so there’s no need to remove it unless you want to switch to another case or go commando. It’s a bit tighter than the usual method and while it holds the e-reader firmly, if you decide to pull it out after, that’s a bit of a chore. The e-reader slides into the case where metal clasps (leather covered, of course) hold it firmly in place. The case opens easily and is designed to offer a comfortable grip when reading. The case is a made of a very high quality material - not just nice smelling, but soft, supple and perfectly stitched. ![]() ![]() I opened the bag and the smell of leather wafted into the room. Yes, the protective case has its own protective bag. It arrived in a very elegant red and black box, wrapped within its own protective red cloth bag.

So when Noreve Saint Tropez offered to send a case for my Kobo Aura HD, you can bet I jumped on it. When you sell as many e-readers as Amazon does, there are hundreds of compatible cases and covers to choose from when you’re on a smaller scale, the e-reader in question is priced as a premium model and has a slightly larger than standard form factor, there simply isn’t the same kind of choice. The one downside to this device, however, has been the lack of choice in protective covers. Amazon has since responded with a newly upgraded Kindle Paperwhite, but with 212 ppi (compared to the Kobo’s 264 ppi display) and a 6-inch display (the Aura HD’s is 6.8-inches), I’m still firmly in the Aura HD camp.
