My Laughable NC Money Savers

[Techienana]

I own two NC and am always looking to get the most out of them without spending the big bucks. So, read on for a couple of really CHEAP things I have done to save money on accessories:

1. I had to exchange NCs and hated to lose a perfectly good and rather expensive B&N screen protector, so I very carefully removed it and laid it on a piece of aluminum foil and folded the foil to protect it. After I received the replacement NC, I removed the protector from the foil and carefully applied it to the replacement NC. Perfect application other than the very small corner where I lifted it off the previous NC!

2. I've got B&N easel covers but don't like to use them because they add weight and clumsiness (IMO) to the NC. So I purchased the B&N silicon back covers and a $3.00 8-inch Tabletop Easel (Walmart) designed to hold framed pictures and now I have the perfect easel for hands-free reading, portrait or landscape, and with complete access to the softkeys. Just make sure to put it on a non-skid surface.

why foil? there is an even cheaper solution... just stick the screen protector onto a window.

What happened to the Nook that it had to be replaced?

i was just trying to find something that was clean and free of lint, dust and dirt. Unused/unrolled aluminum foil filled the bill. It was also easy to handle.

Nook had to be replaced because it stopped charging. The uSB port stopped working.

If you huffed a little you may have been able to do yourself one better and demand a new set of screen protectors to boot!

Can you post an image of your easel?
