Here is a stand for all you Nook Users. Just ordered and will see how it works. There are some photos with NC's on them already.

Should have gone with the Spiderpodium. http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=spiderpodium&_sacat=See-All-Categories

You can hang or sit your nook from/on just about anything with that. Plus you can use it to wrap around your hand when your holding it. The non-tablet version works fine. I just got one last week, and I haven't been without it since.

I'd be afraid that thing would latch itself to my face while I was sleeping and deposit an egg in my stomach.

It's still pretty awesome and versatile. It's also slim enough that I never have to take it off, so I always have a stand.

Nice, like that it fits a leg, but its almost as big as the nook itself. Not great for travel.

I have the Arkon and love it.

If your debating on ordering the Arkon, get it! I use it while watching movies on my Nook and I love it.

Very doubtful considering it was designed for thicker tablets like the Xoom, Galaxy, G-tab, etc.
It can also be adjusted to many different positions to counteract any stability issues you might have. I believe the Amazon link shows a Nook with case on it.

This stand is pretty good. My only complaint is that in portrait mode I can't figure a way to have it charge at the same time as using it. Other than that the stand is perfect!

Are you referring to the folding one that looks like it fits a picture frame? That looked durable and it was only $15, but I can't find one online either. The guy also wouldn't take one out of the box to try it.
