Very cool! Great idea.

 

[Hisha]

Great idea, glad I kept my box.

Same here I always knew that a box with magnets should be held on to....Magnets I tell ya!

 

[GoochyPuppy]

Was I dense not to realize box was meant to become a stand??

Wish it could do landscape too tho.

Current project is a rubber flip cover with magnets to hold in place and when rolled back will stand Nook at downward angle to avoid glare when on gym treadmill ...



Sent from my Nook Color thanks to the contributors at XDA forums.

Wow, I can't believe I didn't put it together that it was a stand. Lame on me, awesome on you. Thanks

OMG....put the nook color box in the garbage just 2 days ago. Have my son out searching the trash bags right now!!!!!

Phew!!! He found it. Garbage would have gone out tomorrow morning.

Heh...go figure, free stand for our NC? Think I still have it around here somewhere....

I'm glad I saw this, that is a genius idea right there!

 

[akimario]

You have to wonder if B&N just assumed everyone would realize it was a stand. Maybe something for them to add in their ads?

Yeah it Baffles me that there are no official instructions anywhere about how its a stand as well. Me Thinks the Designers of the Box are just to smart for B&N Advertising crew

HAHA! Yes, they are not "thinking fourth dimensionally"...Marty!

Great i second everyone's posts, and will be transforming my box tonight.

If you want to make it so it can do landscape just cut notches the length of the foam rubber fingers on both sides of the box and cut the finger part off of the foam and your all set.

Yep exactly. The stand also works for ipads in case anyone was wondering.

How did I not think of this. B&N really needs to make a legit dock though. I would buy it ASAP.

Haha, its true. The nook was designed at a place called Fuze Project in the SF Bay Area. They're smart fellers down there.
