What Case/Cover Are You Using for Your Nook Color?

[Character Zero]

I got the Lautner Book Cover from B&N. I wanted one that would stay closed and this one has a magnet. And you can fold it around and it holds in place. Very nice.

M-edge zipper case. Has an outside zipper pocket that I keep a stylus, headphones, and a few extra MicroSD cards in.

I absolutely needed something with a zipper, because I carry it in my cargo pocket of my pants. Dust and dirt are my worst enemies for electronics like this. The zipper prevents most of that.

I also put a screen protector on it. If I could do that part over (which I probably could) I want something that's anti-glare too, instead of just a screen protector.

All in all i'm happy with my case. I wish it was a hard case over the screen, but the zipper more then makes up for it not being.

I got the Crazy on Digital case from Amazon. So far so good. I like the landscape stand. It adds some bulk, but its not too bad.

Crazy on Digital folio for me as well. I love the form factor of 1st gen iPad cases and this was the closest I could find to that. And the magnetic close of the front is a nice touch. It definitely feels a lot nicer than what I paid for it.

My only 2 complaints with this case are:

1) It triples the width of the device. The Nook was so thin a little extra width isn't bad really, but it's almost a bit too much. Especially in comparison to our iPad case which offers similar protection with minimal extra bulk (http://www.casecrown.com/ipad/canvas-flip/canvas-horizontal-flip-ipad-case-black)

2) It covers the speakers and greatly muffles the sound - almost defeating the purpose of its landscape mode when it comes to multimedia. Dialog on Netflix movies is tough to hear, even with the volume doubled via CM7.

It's solid, especially for the price and seems to be the best option if you want a classy-looking folio style case.

I got the Crazy on Digital case long time ago and still happy with it , a little bit bulky but it protects the NC well.

Anyone try the body glove hard case?

I have a neoprene cover, but would like something with more protection for when I throw it in the beach bag and what not.

None, well, my case will be my purse when it's on the run. Actually recently bought a new purse that has a large zipper pouch that is perfect for the nookcolor. One of the benefits of being a girl. Otherwise it will be on my nightstand for me to read when it's a nook and to play when it's booted into CM7.

I did get the anti glare B&N screen protector which I recommend, and just ordered a decal girl skin.

What is on the backside of the front cover of the Roocase multi-view? I was wondering if there are any pouches or slots to hold paper or cards or something else. Do I have to get the executive for that?

I have that one. I use a Best Skins Ever skin (really good skin and a great price!) and the Body Glove case. I have a rambunctious one-year old that likes to snatch anything electronic that might be lying around so I wanted a case that would protect it the Nook from a fall onto a hardwood floor or sidewalk. As well as being stepped on, tossed, spills, etc. and this case fits the bill.

Anyhow, it's a nice case - when opened, it fold back and zips up in the open position. A big downside is that it's pretty thick - there's room for cables, cards, and usb drives (not the NC charger though). The NC fits nicely in it and the ballistic nylon covering is durable and looks nice (in my opinion). I've had it a few months and it still looks like new so it's held up well so far. Overall, the leather cases look more classy to me, but this seems to offer a lot more protection than most leather cases and the price at Amazon was pretty decent at the time.

Haha, my son is the same way. I really need a zipper case and was hoping the charger would fit. Ashame it doesnt. I think ill pick it up regardless. Do you know any stores that sell it? Would like a hands on before getting from Amazon.

Bought this case a few days ago

Neat thing, looks nice and old timey.

I bought the Lautner book cover in walnut. The leather is so soft and supple and it looks quite professional when I carry it around the office. I'm so worried about scratching the leather though.

So i sent back my roocase because it didnt stand landscape.

Now i got this and absolutely love it! It will stand in landscape and portrait mode. Its very minimal and just what i wanted.

Anyone running usb host enabled with one of the more recent nightlies? And if so, have you found a usb keyboard/case combo that works for you?

I had concerns about the "girlie" factor on this case too so I went with something similar: http://gifts.barnesandnoble.com/Industriell-Easel-Cover-in-Storm/e/9781616813840/

What was wrong with the other thread

 

[donniebball23]

Starting to get annoyed with my CrazyOnDigital case. The case really doesn't hold the nook securely in landscape mode witch causes the nook to "slip" down in the case making the bottom buttons hard to access. Also, it doesn't do portrait mode.

I'm using this same cover and really like it. Very simple with a great soft leather feel and a very powerful magnet clasp. The only potential drawbacks are open sides allowing dust/moisture in and no storage at all for cards, notes etc.

I have a really slick leather folio perfectly sized for the CN, so I am going to troll Craigslist to see if I can find an old beat up OEM B&N case on the cheap with the same plastic retainer system, cut it out and the modify my leather folio with it. Would be perfect!
