[Q] Cheap Neoprene Case for Nook Color

---

I've been shopping around for a cheap case solution for the Nook Color and I came across this

The dimensions are 8.3x6 in
The nook color is 8.1x5 in (right?)

Do you think the 0.2 in of give on the top would be enough for it to fit? My wife has this same case in a different size for her netbook and she loves it. It's very well-made considering the price, so if I know the NC will fit I'd buy it immediately.

Anyone own this or seen it or have an opinion? I'm just looking for something functional and cheap. That's it.

Those cheapo neoprene cases have plenty of give. Do remember they were meant for a thicker device so if the dimensionsof the case is a little smaller it should be fine for a thinner device.

My 11.6" dmz1 fits well in the 10" netbook version of this and is a nice tight stretch fit.

Double post. Sorry.

That's good to know. I like that it can enclose the device completely or, like my wife does, you can just slip it in without folding over the top. That's perfect for tossing it in my backpack.

Anyone else have experience with this or any other cheap neoprene case?

Nook color is 8.1" height. Case should fit fine.
You might have a problem with staining though. I see that the neoprene cases that Barnes Noble sells has people numerous complaining about the dye transfering to the Nook. Probably not much of a problem with the color Nook as it is black/grey as opposed to the regular Nook's off white color. Cheap to try out though.

I got this one:

It's quite snug and for a simple way to protect the Color Nook it works fine.
It takes a slight effort to get on because it is so snug.

I think the one you got from ebay is the same as the one I'm looking at but more expensive. Glad to know it works for you!

Going to get one myself, thanks

I'm in for one of these off ebay. It'll probably take 2-3 weeks since it's coming from China but I can be patient for $5

I have that exact one you linked. It fits very snug with the silicone sleeve. The neoprene smell is really strong the first few weeks. The fold-over style opening does tend to get a little stretched out after a while, but it's still tight so that the NC is never in any danger of falling out. All in all, it's a good sleeve for the money.
