Here's the review I just posted on the Expediency Flip, which is sold on Amazon for about $20 plus shipping.

------------

I already owned a few NC cases and a case/stand when I bought the Expediency Flip, looking for a functional case which would also work as a horizontal and vertical stand.

One I already had, a Khomo case, was worthless since the flap was mounted upside down so could not be used horizontally with any video player app or landscape game. And the flap was the wrong angle when used vertically so it would fall over. It made me mad, thinking "What idiots! Did no one actually use this case with a Nook Color in it to try it out before they put it on the market?!"

When I first received the subject of this review, the Expediency Flip case, and used it a few minutes, I thought, "What idiots! Did no one actually use this case with a Nook Color in it to try it out before they put it on the market?!" So yes, there are problems with this case. But with this case, unlike the Khomo, some of them can be solved with an easy modification.

The case is suede-like. That's what Nubuck means. So, it picks up and shows dust which is hard to remove, but worse, it does not slide easily into a pants pocket like a smooth one would. But, that's not much of a problem since they made the case a half inch wider then it needed to be, so it does not fit into any of my pants pockets anyway. The main problem with the extra width is (even after the modifications below), the tablet slips around inside the sleeve from side to side and looks crummy when it's askew.

The inside of the case cover has three ridges which allow the NC to rest at one of three angles. Really only one of the ridges is useful since the case depends on the stiffness of a fold in the cover to keep the device upright. When you use either of the other ridges to make the NC more horizontal, after a few days of use the NC lays flat since the cover fold is not strong enough. When used in landscape mode even when the case is brand new, the first ridge is too far away and the NC lies almost flat. WhyTF could they have not added ridges along the entire flap so you could stand the Nook at an angle greater than 30 deg up from horizontal?

The next beef is the stupidly small, paper-thin flap which holds the NC inside the sleeve. The NC won't fall out of the case and land on the floor in pieces as long as you keep it turned such that the flap is facing the inside of the case, but you still have to constantly tuck the flap in and push the tablet up since it constantly slips down which covers the N button. Again, did no one actually use this case with a Nook Color in it to try it out before they put it on the market?

Even with these design oversights, though, this is the case I now use daily. It took a foot of 1" sticky-back velcro to make it usable.

Cut the loop (soft) side of the velcro down the middle into half-inch wide strips the same length as the ridges. Stick them on to continue the pattern of the existing ridges to provide 3 (or more) ridges that are actually useful.

Cut a piece of the hook (scratchy) side of the velcro to the same length as the width of the end of the flap and stick it on such that when it is tucked in, it will rub against the inside the sleeve and provide some friction and thickness so the flap does not constantly slip out. If you are planning to leave the NC inside the case long term, you can cut this velcro to extend a bit beyond the sides of the flap so a bit sticks to the NC itself.

With these modification, the case now works okay. You still have to push the NC up and tuck the flap in, just every hour instead of every few minutes of use. And it will still get askew from side to side inside the sleeve and make it look like you have a POS generic $3 case. But at least I finally have a case that functions as a horizontal and vertical stand. Amazing that with the number of NCs out there that some manufacturer has not built AND TESTED a decent case that works well as a horizontal / vertical stand out of the box.
