Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with Speck, Barnes & Noble, or Amazon. I do not profit, or gain anything by this recommendation. It's just a personal discovery that made me happy and thought it might be helpful to other NSTR users.

For some reason all the B&N official Nook cases are way thicker and bulkier than they need to be. Also most third-party cases I looked at were faux-leather with huge messy stitching as if they were part of a Frankenstein cosplay competition.

Being super picky about these sorts of things, I put off buying a NSTR case while obsessively trying to find one that was:

1. Slim (All these giants cases defeat the purpose of a tiny portable ereader)

2. Play-through (I can leave it on while using, ie not just a slip-cover I can lose)

3. Protective (Not soft)

Well, I've been looking high and low, reading all the Nook forums with no luck until recently when I finally found this case: (I can't post links yet, so just search on Amazon for "Nook touch fitfolio"

Speck FitFolio for Nook Simple Touch Reader.

I saw it at Target for $29.99, but bought it on Amazon for just over $21. It looks like the price fluctuates a bit (it's $24.83 right now).

I got the black one, I got my wife the teal one. It also comes in purple.
[Nook Touch Accessories] cceerrtt:
wow, the blue one is really ugly. :-D looks like a lunch box. The grey one is nice.

I am using a cover bought from B&N, it is a bit thicker and larger but at least it protects my nook well from pressure and falls. That cover above seems to slim, I don't belive your nook would survive if it falls e.g. on the corner. Mine did several times.

Can you lock the front side of the cover to the back side (while reading)?
[Nook Touch Accessories] Torimu.Joji:
Cases

I use the Silicone skin. It's relay nice and absorbs most of the shock of a drop.

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/silicone-frame-in-graphite/22315829
[Nook Touch Accessories] Musulsa:
1. I've looked at each and every official B&N cases in detail and found all of them, frankly, to be really lacking in several areas. The Speck case has a much more secure attachment system as well a good shock absorption due to the material and the shape of the case. Also, as I mentioned, it is much more form fitting than any of the B&N cases.

2. Yes, you can lock the front cover to the back while reading.
[Nook Touch Accessories] jhedfors:
I should have mine next week!

Based on your recommendation I ordered one, and I should have it next week. I will let you know how it works out.

Edit: I just exchanged my NSTR at B&N a couple of days ago as it had a cluster of stuck pixels. I had no problems, but the employee said that it could have been caused by something being pushed down on that screen at that point. This is why I decided to get a case, as I don't want it to happen again!
[Nook Touch Accessories] jhedfors:
Edit: I reviewed the description & it DOES say the bungee is "two-way", so I am assuming it is designed to work that way - it just seemed a bit of a tight stretch. No biggie for me, as I don't think I would be attaching it any - folded back works fine.

Just received mine today. It really has a nice feel, and I think it will protect it well. Thanks for the recommendation!

P.S. The cover DOES fold back upon itself, but I wouldn't say exactly say it "locks" (rather, I would not want to, as it would overstretch the "bungee").:)

EDIT: I just reviewed the specs, and it does state that the bungee is "two-way" - it just seemed a bit of a tight stretch. No biggie for me, as it works well, simply folded back, and not attached.
[Nook Touch Accessories] cceerrtt:
So the folded cover is not "fixed" in the folded position? Could you upload more photos?

Mine nook cover is magnetic and therefore folded front & back cover keeps together, moreover when bonded with magnetic clip.
[Nook Touch Accessories] zholy:
I have bought aluminium case for my NST. It has 3 positions for reading. The NST clips inside so it wont fall out. It has a black padding inside and it seems to be thinner then all those folding leather ones. The disadvantage of this cover is -> when you open the cover and flip it at the back, so it flat ... it's kind of awkward to read it like that, because of the round shape. It just feels :(

Since this is one of my first posts in this forum, I can't put the LINK for the cover. but if you would go in UK Ebay and type in search : aluminium nook ... you should see it. it cost 12.99GBP.

But now with the "keayboard hack" ... I'm thinking about finding a way how to modify the cover for 10" tablets with keyboard so it can hold the NST. That's what kepps my mind busy at the moment.
[Nook Touch Accessories] mising:
I agree completely with the Speck case. I too do not see the need for B&N making such large covers for such a small device. The Speck cover is just barely bigger than the nook and is comfortable to hold with the cover folded back and secured. The nook snaps in and out of the cover very easily. If you fold the cover back and secure it, it stays level and has enough grip to not slide if you prop it against something to read. I would prefer a magnet or snap closure, but after several uses the bungee gets easier to fasten. Very satisfied with this cover.
[Nook Touch Accessories] donslade:
I found the Specs cases at my local Target. Prices varied from $29.99 for the standard colored (blue, purple, green) cover to $34.99 for a black 'leather' version. They did not show up at the online Target.com site. Very nice. I may have to get one.
[Nook Touch Accessories] Dagon.Alex:
I have ordered Industriell Cover in Carbon with Lyra Light and Anti-Glare Film when bought my Nook. And right after my order came to me in B&N store appeared Silicone Covers and Stella Light. I`d rather bought them...

What I don`t like in my cover is the way Nook is mounted into it. Why not to fix the book with four of these latches. Another thing is the size, tried to find anything that adds less to the sizes of the Nook itself.

Also in this theme I saw Speck cover, if I knew of it earlier I`d mostly bought it. But now I don`t need two covers so... I use what I use...
[Nook Touch Accessories] Googie2149:
I have the same case, and it's not that easy to hold. And trying to press the buttons on the left just makes the entire thing flip. Also, what changed between the Lyra Light and the Stella Light?
[Nook Touch Accessories] Dagon.Alex:
Have no problems holding it.

Don`t like how left buttons are pushed myself that`s on what I said about latches.

Stella looks just prettier then Lyra. Also Lyra just unbends when Nook is being shaked(while reading in bus or other transport)
[Nook Touch Accessories] MTKnife:
I think that's the one I got: I would normally never buy a case made by the device manufacturer, but I picked this one up at Best Buy for (I think) $15: it's two stiff boards, just wider than the Nook Touch itself, with a hinge at the top, with a magnetic clasp that can also be used to hold the front and back cover together as a stand when they're folded backward. The whole thing is light, compact, and protective--and not any harder to read in the case than out of it (plus, if you need a reading light, it's easier to clip it to the cover than to the Nook itself). You can even charge the device without opening the cover, though you do have to move the clasp aside.

This case must be discontinued, though, because now I can't find it on either the B&N or the Best Buy site.
[Nook Touch Accessories] larryflynt:
I didn't like any cases available for the nst. Till I made one. What do you guys think?
[Nook Touch Accessories] Dagon.Alex:

[Nook Touch Accessories] mising:
Good work, very cool. Did you use a book, or some sort of journal? I have been wanting to do something like this, but do not have any books that I am willing to cut up.
[Nook Touch Accessories] larryflynt:
It was a blank journal that was 5.75x7in. It was tight fit but I managed.
[Nook Touch Accessories] krackenthorpe:
I searched far and wide for a case for my STR and I thought about getting a Speck FitFolio until I saw one in person in Target. Seemed too flimsy. Anyway, after a long search I found Oberon covers. Solid drum dyed tooled leather, about 3/16" thick. Not cardboard covered by a thin strip of 'leather'. They come in many designs and colors and cost about $15 more than a high priced B&N cover, which is OK, because I think it will last a lifetime.

I do not work for, nor am I affiliated with Oberon Designs. I'm just a very satisfied customer.
[Nook Touch Accessories] bobstro:
The oberon case looks familiar:
[Nook Touch Accessories] klausef:
Landscape-standing case

Looks like RooCase accidentally designed a case with a landscape kickstand even though the stock touch doesn't do that.

On Amazon it's called a "rooCASE Executive Leather Portfolio (Black) Case Cover with Stand for Barnes and Noble NOOK Touch eBook Reader"

Anyone had any experience with it?
[Nook Touch Accessories] bobstro:
Yes, I have one and quite like it. The inner "bikini" is held in with velcro, so you can remove it, lay the case out horizontally, pop out the kickstand

and read with the device standing vertically. I don't really do this much in practice, since the unit is so light.

The best part of this case is that removable bikini. Around the house, I don't use the outer zip case. It protects very well, but is bulky on such a lightweight device. The bikini provides good protection against "drop and bump", though it doesn't protect the screen. What does work well is turning the NST around so the delicate screen faces the rigid back of the case. I've found that this is sufficient protection for sticking it in my bag when space is at a premium.

A couple of downsides:

The "hook" side of the velcro is a 2.75 inch circle on the back of the removable bikini. This feels odd in the hand when holding the device. The hook velcro is on the zippered case on the Nook Color/Tablet version of this same case, so I'm not sure why they did it this way. This also is annoying if you lay the unit flat and try to turn pages, as the unit wobbles.

The bikini case has cutouts for the hard buttons at the side of the case, but they are difficult to press with the case on. I need to use my thumb fingernail to get a good press.
[Nook Touch Accessories] Renate:
I just ordered a Nuvo-Tek neoprene sleeve. ($8.95 including shipping)

That's plenty to keep my Nook safe in my bag.

I was thinking of filling in the well in the back of the Nook with the soft side of adhesive Velcro.

That way I could attach legs or stick it to something.

With my scrolling foot pedal I'll be all set!
[Nook Touch Accessories] fufutos:
I have a similar one and have the same problems. I'm considering a silicon sleeve but they are sticky and keen to keep dust on... Any ideas?
[Nook Touch Accessories] nvel:
i'm using bluecosto synthetic leather case specially made for NST, it's quite good considering the low price
[Nook Touch Accessories] KEYofR:
I have to say I find the speck case to hit every important point.

* Thin as possible in all directions. Ok really, I would like it even thinner. I'd love something that just protects the screen and nothing on the back or sides. The glowlight film is ridiculously easy to damage. That's the only reason I would even use any case at all. I'd rather scratches and character than any extra junk at all. But I tried that and I got glowlight film damage inside a week. If I had a regular nst instead of nstg I wouldn't use any case.

* Flat. No buckles or anything sticking out. That makes it unstackable, and the buckle poses a damage risk to the nook and anything else it is packed/stacked with, ie your laptop screen etc.

* Protects the screen. See above.

* Convenient. No need to remove for reading or charging. Loose parts? Well, it would be nice to read while holding only the unadorned device itself, and a sleeve does allow for the possibility of a pocket to keep a charger & cable always with the device. But then again staying charged is not a problem with this device and all in all I'd just rather not have separate parts to futz with.

* Light weight. I like nice materials like leather and brass, but they are heavy, and this is a portable device. Plastic and pleather are practically weightless, and bonus, impervious to beer, wine, rain, snow, etc... All things that anything I will carry with me at all times, will see often. Save the leather for for the car and nice books that you don't carry around everywhere every day :)

* Cheaper than the thing it's protecting. Protect a $70 to $130 device with $70 case? No. I mean it would be nice but really only in such calm and controlled environments that you wouldn't actually need any case at all in the first place.

Just wanted to point out that there is really a lot going on with that Speck case that might not seem obvious at first glance. I haven't found anything better yet without giving up one or more of the properties above.
[Nook Touch Accessories] MGlitch:
I just use a silicon shell for my NSTG. I usually keep it in a jacket pocket so I don't really need to worry about it getting jostled about.

It was cheap, adds a little heft to the otherwise very light NSTG, and adds a bit of friction which makes holding the NSTG even easier.
[Nook Touch Accessories] amjl2000:
I have just received my aluminium case, which doesn't have many reviews online unfortunately. I noted the one in this thread though.

I wanted a slim case to mainly protect the screen when in my bag, and avoid it getting too scratched.

The FitFolio would have been the perfect case were they still being manufactured (been confirmed from Speck that they are not). Unfortunately stocks seem to have dried up in the UK, and to get one imported from the US was going to be rather expensive. Of course if anyone knows of any in the Euro area that are reasonably priced then post here! I didn't want to spend the cost of the nook on a case!

So the IDS aluminium one was my only other option.

So for £12.99 what did I get?..

Well it looks very smart. With the nook in it is pretty sturdy when closed. However, it is not without issues:

1. The clips holding the nook in do not all work properly. the nook seems a bit to thick than the case was designed for, being that you can squeeze the nook in behind the 4 clips, but one corner pops back out again. The clips do not align with the natural holes in the top of the nook, instead being on the sides with a '7' shaped noddles (no, I don't know a technical name, I made this one up).

2. Holding the case is not very nice. While you can fold the lid around flush-ish to the back, it feels a bit flimsy, and is difficult to push the side buttons.

3. The clip to hold the lid on is OK, but liable to loosen over time. There was a report of folding the clipa bit further (as it is only ally) , but if you go too far, could be a right pain to open.

Overall, it's a very good case if you plan to take the nook out when you use it. Otherwise, be prepared for little niggles. Value for money? well everyone's opinion is different.

edit: went back to other reviews, and one guy mentioned giving the case a bit of a tweak to readjust the nook seating. It now clips in OK, though only just. More adjustment is required as it is supposed to slit flat in the base of the case, but my nook wobbles a little when pressed at the sides.

Any way to get the puzzle lockscreen on here?

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
I think the default launcher is ADW, so it is in preferences.

By the way, does anyone notice that although this rom is super smooth, it gets really low quadrants? For example I am running quadrants while undervolting, and when I lock at 1200 (max and min) I only get ~2200s. I don't really care, but I am wondering why.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jharvey24:
Nope, @ 1400 I'm running 3400 antutu

All those who believe in telekinesis raise my hand!
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
The default launcher is Eclipse Launcher, which is a modified Gummy Launcher, which is a modified Launcher2. As far as I know, there isn't a way to change the number of pages on it.

I'm not sure why the Quadrant scores would be low. I've never run Quadrant on the rom to see, but my assumption would be that some of the tweaks done just mess with Quadrant. It is such an artificial benchmark and it places such an unrealistically large emphasis on I/O that anything that messes with I/O can change the scores a bunch. There are some tweaks that improve user experience, but decrease Quadrant scores, so it's really pointless to even worry about them at all.
[Verizon Droid Charge] thad2b:
if i wanted to use a TW launcher from another rom, what files besides the TWLauncher.apk file would i like to place in my /system/apps folder?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ilovesoad:
Different framework. Probably won't work.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Thanks. I wasn't worrying about it, but I just noticed because I am doing "stock" benchmarks to test for stability when UVing.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
The best way to test stability for undervolting is running the benchmarks. Although not necessarily caring about the results. It you're undervolting too aggressively then it should lockup your phone and force a reboot because the benchmark is demanding more resources from the hardware than it can give.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
I find that if the score drops significantly the phone is locking up for small bits of time but not enough to cause a reboot.

Also, is anyone else stable at -200mV for 100MHz? That just seems a little extreme compared to what I have read around here.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
Here's what I'm using and I've been stable for about 4 days now.

Noop & SmartassV2

100/-150, 200/-125, 400/-100, 800/-100, 1000/-75, 1200/-75, 1300/-75

sleep_ideal_freq set at 50 MHz.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Where do you set ideal frequency stuff?
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
You have to create an init.d script. I did it all in script manager. Created a new file called 95smartassedit. You can call it whatever, just put a two digit number that's not already in use in the file name first. Then inside the file I wrote this:

#!/system/bin/sh

echo "50000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/smartass/sleep_ideal_freq

More info about it here.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ambrar12:
What's the practical lower limit for ideal sleep frequency?
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
I dunno. The default is 100MHz and I have it set to 50Mhz. You can play with it, but make a nandroid first otherwise the screen might not wake or it may just disregard the setting. I haven't really messed with it too much.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Hmm how much are u guys trying to undervolt your CPU? I just spent like 8 hours running repeated tests and benchmarks and here is what I got

1200@-100

1000@-100

800@-150

400@-175

200@-175

100@-200

It is still super smooth this way. Either I spent way too much time doing this or i got really really lucky.
