Well, there is not much on accessories side for Nook STR. Cover, screen protector, external light and SD cards.
I'll stick with my cheapo cover from amazon.

Jrec,

The cover is the Casecrown one. Was cheaper a couple of weeks ago. It fits snuggly, blocks only SD cover, and it makes a little harder to hit the button savior arrow on the right side. Besides that, a winner.

Thanks! I trust that in time we'll see lots more after market stuff for the N2E.

I really like the stock cover from B&N.

A Great Light For N2E...

I just bought the Kandle Ozeri II light for my N2E it works great. Amazon has it for $25.00 (not able to post links yet). It runs on the button batteries two for 20 hours. At first I was against this but you can by 25 for $5 on Amazon. It also has two settings for brightness however the lowest setting works great for me with no dark spots on the screen. Some of the reviews stated it looked cheap and some of the clips have broken on them. Mine seems good so far but I'm careful putting it on and taking it off.

Mine even goes on with the nook cover (Lautner Case) I just got at Barnes. When I slide the light on I still put the clip in between the cover and the back of the device. But I think it would fit over the case also.

Also one more thing it does block the power button when you clip it on top of the N2E but I turn my device on before I stick the light on.

Have a Verso Arc Rechargeable reading light, and it fits perfectly on my nook.

Would love to buy a working USB keyboard/dock, once it exists.

There will not be a stylus for the Nook STR that will offer any sort of precision because of the IR touchscreen. IR touchscreens aren't extremely accurate and require a large contact area on the screen to reliably pick up the touch. It's not capacitive, so a capacitive stylus won't do you any good, and neither will a typical stylus for a DS or palm or other device sporting a resistive touchscreen (resistive touchscreens can essentially be poked with anything and that anything can be used as a stylus)

Simply put, it's because of the IR touchscreen needing such a big contact area that you're not going to see any effective stylus, ever.

However, a finger and a whiteboard widget does result in an effective notepad.

I picked up an iFrogz stylus from Staples for my phone it works great on the Touch too. It's got a soft tip so it's not going to mess with the screen and it's accurate enough to work or write with.

I use the rubber on the end of a pencil to hit chromium browser tabs while in vncviewer... seeing as it's not a capacitive screen

rather good...
