That is one ugly case. It's like a George Jetson fanny pack.
[Nook Color Accessories] discourse:
I really like the handmade cases on etsy. Most of them are iPad cases but I'm sure the person will make smaller ones if we ask nicely.
[Nook Color Accessories] lbascones:
They won't. I went to buy an NC version and they mistakenly gave me the one for the original Nook. It's the wrong size and the attaching mechanism is different.
[Nook Color Accessories] dascud:
I already ordered Nook cases from one of the seller on Etsy and posted the link earlier. I also asked the seller to make slightly taller ones to fit the Nook color and she has agreed ( at least in my case)
[Nook Color Accessories] discourse:
Etsy sellers are always awesome! Buying a custom case doesn't even cost more than a store bought standard made in China case.

I especially like these ones made from recycled men's suits.

This a very nice and unique case discourse...! :)

Anyone know of a good way/cover that lets this thing stand up in landscape mode?

I know the sullivan easel does but that looks really bulky and someone on this thread said the tri-fold is really annoying.

Has anyone experimented with a rigged stand of some sort? I really wish it had a kick-stand or there was a skin w/ a kickstand for this.
[Nook Color Accessories] clockcycle:
I am considering one of two things, cutting up old jeans with a flap as a case and or something like the G1 Sleeve that would cover/protect it in my back pocket ;)

I'm using a Casecrown generic e-reader case from Amazon.

I was actually using it for my Archos 70 before that ended up on eBay.

It was only $8 and it fits the Nook Color perfectly.
[Nook Color Accessories] Mr Uncanny:
I've been using the Industriell cover in storm; it's pretty effin' classy.

Can you provide a link to it? I see a $17 one but nothing around $8. Thanks.

I grabbed a timbuk2 nylon carrying case for the kindle 2 for $14.99 as a temporary measure but it fits the NC nicely. I then bought the Sullivan Easel case from BN, which I dislike. The design is awkward: the 3-fold structure is annoying, portrait mode with easel is not stable, there is no padding and, if dropped, the case can easily swing open on the way to the ground. It arrived today and will be going back tomorrow.

The timbuk2 is a simple ballistic nylon-type carrying case with a velcro snap, adequate padding, soft liner and snug fit for the NC. It's not a sleeve but it does a good job. amazon.com/gp/product/B002SB8RO0/ aka "Timbuk2 Nylon Kindle Sleeve (Fits 6" Display, 2nd Generation Kindle) Black/Black/Black"

I just sprung for one of the Lautner cases (faux leather with a magnetic latch) in brown, and it's great.
[Nook Color Accessories] bugeyed1:
I second the Lautner. Have one for he Nook & Nook Color. Most compact that I found when folded back for reading. I looked at all of them at B&N & tested a bunch.

Cheers,

Same here. I got the triple fold one but after one week it was too bulky so I returned it
[Nook Color Accessories] wvcachi:
For the unconventional, there's always the classic "cut-out book" case . . . or for a dirt-cheap but functional case for transporting your NC, just get a bubble-mailer that's sized correctly.
[Nook Color Accessories] epakrat75:
Just in case people didn't already know...

Even if your chosen cover / case doesn't include a NC stand, every NC owner already has one. The NC box is a two way / dual angle NC stand all by itself. It's a fairly sturdy box and likewise makes a decent portrait stand. If you need landscape, that's a different story.

Have a look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=873464
[Nook Color Accessories] bugeyed1:
Yeah, I was surprised when I first saw the NC box used as a stand. I had thought that it was just an overdesigned box. Magnets & that foam lined "nook" in the bottom? What a revelation! Too bad it's so large though.
[Nook Color Accessories] Bobb_o:
I went with the Industriell Easel. Looking at them in the store the book ones didn't really make sense to me because you're just going to fold it over to the back anyway (At least I would) so the easel makes sense and it props up the NC pretty well.
[Nook Color Accessories] clockcycle:

Has anyone looked at this cover yet ? I can't tell if the easel works in portrait or just landscape ?

[Nook Color Accessories] likearaptor:
I got it but after a week I didn't like it and switched for another one. The Easel case is great if you want to have it prompted up on it's side, but when you hold it normally the back cover would not stay put very easily. It would go up or down making it awkward to hold sometimes. It also is one of the heaviest ones.
[Nook Color Accessories] ahfunaki:
Does yours smell funny? Because mine does...lol

Overall I like the case, but folding back the flap does kind of annoy me. I wish it had a latch or something to hold it in place...

Does anyone know if the Samsung Galaxy Tab cases would work. Saw this link on a deal site.

handhelditems has discounts on Galaxy Tab cases in particular leather easel cases for $19.

Sorry, unable to post URLs at this time.
[Nook Color Accessories] BigMots:
Agree there, the flip case by handhelditems for the Samsung Galaxy is exactly what is required for the NookColor, have NOT been able to find anything even remotely close so far.

BigMots :rolleyes:
[Nook Color Accessories] getmore4less:
The only possible problem I can see is the dimensions don't matchup.

Nook Color: 8.1"x5"x0.48"

Samsung Galaxy Tab: 7.48"x4.74"x0.47"

The .6" in might make a difference.
[Nook Color Accessories] Bimboy:
I have this one. It's slanted in landscape mode. The NC makes it too front heavy to stand up in portrait mode. it's awesome for watching movies and reading books in landscape though. The internal part is grippy, so it is good to prop on your leg or a airline seatback tray.

Funny thing. It's black leather, and somebody asked me about my bible the other day...

Javoedge Cases

Has anyone looked at the JAVOedge cases? I'm not a fan of the prints they are currently offering for the NC but I do like how on the regular Nooks it seems like it provided good security. My concern with the B&N cases is how much protection does it offer if it drops? Not that I'm asking anyone to go drop theirs but it seems like they would come out of the case if they fall. The klutz that I am, I need as much security as possible! Not to mention I also have little ones getting books read to them....I can't tell who the NC needs more protection from...me or them! The JAVOedge cases seem to have good reviews for the regular Nook cases on Amazon....I just can't decide between book and flip style.

[Nook Color Accessories] Croak:
I've got a Galaxy Tab, I've got a Nook Color. The Nook Color is MUCH larger in height and width, and about a third thinner. Tab cases and sleeves won't work, and even generic eBook cases/sleeves are generally too small for the NC.
[Nook Color Accessories] getmore4less:
Thanks for the info
[Nook Color Accessories] Croak:
Just to give you an idea how much longer the NC is, if you removed the entire gray bottom bezel flush with the bottom of the black "n" button section, it would be the same height as a Tab (or Kindle 3), more or less.

Remove about a fourth of each side bezel and it would be the same width as a Tab.
[Nook Color Accessories] stwallman:
I ended up picking up this case at WalMart for $ 15. The NC fits nice and snug and it really seems to have a ton of padding.

Works great for me since I tend to like to use my NC "naked". :D

A warning to those who might be consiering some of the older-nook cases they sell at BB-- the corner mounts tend to get in the way of the power/volume buttons.

Not that I'm speaking from experience <cough>

It doesn't look like anyone's posted about the rooCase Multi-View for the Nook Color.

They're around $25, come in 4 colors and look pretty classy. The release date keeps getting pushed back on Amazon however.

Can't post the link here, but just search "rooCase Multi-View nook color" and you should be able to find them.
[Nook Color Accessories] madsmurf:
Yeah, those roocase leather cases are indeed nice looking... I really wish I could get some nicer pics of the silicone pics direct from B&N. Anyone happen to have one of the silicone cases that could take some nicer pics and post em up? They have been sold out for a while now and no other local retailers have em that sell Nook Colors. I would just like to get a better look at how they fit front, back, maybe around the ports? Any pics would be awesome really, thanks.
[Nook Color Accessories] MkFly:
It is a snug fit in both directions? The 6" Kindle 2G looks to about 0.3" wider than the Nook Color (5.3" for the Kindle vs. 5.0" for the Nook Color).

Shame we can't use the Timbuk2 Kindle 3 cases, they have better color options. :)
[Nook Color Accessories] greenmky:

[Nook Color Accessories] miniaturepeddler:
Just picked up the nc sullivan case at bn and have sat here for past hour trying it out as a stand. Well pleased with it, as it has been comfortable to read and type from for the nc. So i would recommend it despite its price tag and my bn discount did not apply to it (just as it did not apply to the nc).

[Nook Color Accessories] leday:
As an alternative, and if you don't mind the expense (I know they are pricey, but you do get what you pay for), you can choose one of the handmade leather oberon covers. See:

oberondesign.com/shop/car...duct_list&c=83 (had to edit out the www since I am still too new to post a link)

They are absolutely gorgeous, extremely well made, sturdy and VERY well protective of your device, AND they can be folded back. I have the Red Sky Dragon for my Nook Color and the Green Avenue of Trees for my Sony PMS-700, and I have never regretted the extra expense. But...that is just IMHO.

Most all of the nook color cases at Barnes and Noble have this feature. I have one and it does help
[Nook Color Accessories] MkFly:
Picked one of these Timbuk2 cases up. It does fit the NC quite nicely. My only problem with it is that they decided to put the "scratchy" side of the velcro on the flap itself, so I end up getting all scratched just trying to put my Nook Color away or while taking it out (maybe I'll mod it :)).

Other than that, nice.
[Nook Color Accessories] mtl171:
Easel case ftw! Does a awesome job propping up the nook and protecting the screen. However do note that it's kind of heavy and the sides are exposed. Don't really mind the back flap though find it annoying that the clasp covers the USB port. Definitely worth the price.
[Nook Color Accessories] ClarkSt:
Personally, I have a faux-leather case from B&N - very nice. Easily slides and and out, for when I want to get to the SD card. When I want a stand, I fold back the cover into an A shape and read or watch a video in landscape format. Love it! Great for dining out on the road and reading hands-free. And it looks like a book.
[Nook Color Accessories] noodles12:
I've heard the kindle3 versions have switched it so the scratchy side is on the other end. ANYWAY, I don't think the kindle3 version fits our nooks.

I'm really close to buying this TIMBUK2 envelope because it's exactly what I want/need. Just curious how hard the outside is? I'm worried about putting my NC in my backpack full of books and it'll get smashed/bent/cracked. Also curious how much padding this thing has?

It's $30 and if there's not that much padding, I could always buy Something like this which will keep it scratch safe but not that much padding.
[Nook Color Accessories] gmanvbva:
I was looking at the two B&N easel cases... but they are seriously overpriced for the quality (imo). $40-$50 is a little steep for the quality and lack of any real features.
[Nook Color Accessories] gtriever:
I prefer using the NC without a case, so I have the B&N Aalto Cover for protection. For travel it fits nicely in one of these, and the upper portion has enough room for your charging cables, etc.
[Nook Color Accessories] waxlabo:
I am using the Industriell Cover in Storm from B&N and I think this is an awesome case. I also have the Silicone Frame in Storm which is very nice also. I switch between the two but I find myself using the Cover more.

[Nook Color Accessories] bobzdar:
I'm using my original Nook case - I just don't put the top elastic bands on it, which I never did with the original Nook, either. When it's closed, the elastic band that holds the cover closed holds the NC in, anyway. NC sticks out about 1/8 inch from the top.

i've had it for 2 weeks. No noticeable muffling, durable, and high quality. Sits in multiple portrait angles. and also the stand will hold it in portrait, albeit in only one angle.

Also wondering about silicone cover

I've seen all the posts and links, but nothing sits well with me. I love using the device "naked" but I don't want to risk it. I'll probably end up getting a neoprene sleeve to stuff it in and a screen protector, but I've wondered about the silicone skins/bumpers. Does anyone have one?

You can find various cases that serve well with the nook,

this past weekend I went to this new thrift store and came across a LEED's case for $1In great condition (no wear and tear)

and it was a PERFECT fit for my nook and the cool thing is that it also has a pocket

to put in a notepad on the RIGHT side of it (which is the best place to have a writting pad)

the best part is that is not bulky and is not thick either, (less than 1 inch.) only draw back was that

it has an engraving but I'm already working on a small metal plate to cover it, but still thinking

on what to engrave on it. I'll post pictures as soon as I finish with it.

Oberon Design

For those who are interested in leather with great looks and craftsmanship these covers from Oberon Design are great. They are pricey, but you get your moneys worth. They have covers for Nook Color as well as the original nook.

I personally just don't find the B&N cases to be that great. They're all so plain to me, and that's what I put the most weight on is looks. oh and function but i dont need much of that just some protection :)
[Nook Color Accessories] FastCR:
I'm using this one. I wasn't looking for anything to hold it up, and didn't want to spend too much $$$ on it. Its not great looking, but the fit is good. Reminds me of the days of having a vx9800 and getting the ebay leather case with the clear plastic over the keyboard and screen :D
[Nook Color Accessories] MisterLeon:
This is the one I'm using and it fits great. At $3.60 with free shipping, it's a low risk purchase.

Just go to Meritline dot com and search for 257-947.

The only downside is the lip style opening. After a few times it gets a little stretched out, but not enough for NC to have a chance of falling out. Also, it takes a few weeks for the neoprene stench to air out.
[Nook Color Accessories] 911jason:
Here's my Saddleback Leather sleeve, sorry for the low quality cellphone pics. For the person who mentioned Oberon, I can vouch for those as I've had two of their Kindle cases, they are really nice. That said, the Saddleback leather quality puts Oberon's leather to shame.

The Nook fits very snugly inside the sleeve. I've found that if I grip the edges of the sleeve and squeeze it opens up like a mouth and the Nook slides right in or out, but when I'm not squeezing it that way, it's very snug and I can turn it upside down without the Nook falling out.

P.S. Sorry for the huge pics, anyone know why XDA doesn't allow the usual IMG width= code?

That Saddleback sleeve is gorgeous.

Since I suspect most of you are guys here...if you're looking for some nice-looking sleeves one good place to look is Etsy. There are a number of people who make really nice leather and/or felt accessories. One hint: many of them will customize iPad sleeves so if you're not finding what you're looking for by searching for Nook or Kindle, search for iPad and see if they will make custom sizes.

Here are a few I looked at before settling on my felt one:

BN Sullivan Easel

Like some of the other posters, I'm a big fan of BN's Sullivan Easel cover. I use my Nook Color mostly for class, reading instructor assigned PDFs, etc. The easel is designed for landscape mode which is how I normally read PDFs. It transitions to easel mode very easily due to a smart design. The tri-fold cover forms a triangular prism (I guess) that snaps into position via magnets.

I've been using the Industriell Easel cover and really like it. It's nice to be able to stand it up without holding. It even stands up on my stomach while I'm in bed, which makes being lazy easy! :-p
