Interesting layout.

Setting "ubuntu" in bold shows as much sensibility as a boxing glove, 
both regarding the impression as such, but also regarding respecting the 
visual identity of Ubuntu and the work put into it by the design team 
and Dalton Maag.

The wide tracking used on "linux for Human beings" and "www.ubuntu.com" 
is brutal, too. The first string mentioned also has irregular kerning 
("li n ux").

The 3 bullet point items on the backside dance around way too much. 
Centered text combined with bullet points is rarely a good idea.

The big "ubuntu box" is close to being lined up with the small boxes on 
the spine area, but not quite. This makes that part of the layout appear 
random.
