Just got the Belkin neoprene case for the kindle... And I'm real happy with it! I prefer my nook naked, so it's a great way to keep it protected. It fits perfectly! And there's still a little room inside so it's NOT a tight fit at all, even enough room to keep one of my huge microfiber cleaning cloths in it :p Bought it for around $5 shipped, and I got it in the mail within a couple of days :D

This is great news. Waiting for mine to arrive - (waiting for the NC too :-)

I don't know how I will feel about having the Nook naked yet or not -- is there any chance the nook would slip in the Belkin case if it had a thin cover on it?

My cat wanted his picture taken. That's his chair he sits on while I'm cooking, kept jumping in it while I was taking pics.
[Nook Color Accessories] JLCollier2005:
This seems to cheap to be good. I question the charger, for one, as the nook needs the special cable that seems to be pretty expensive on it's own. Also, the case doesn't look nice (In my opinion anyway). I wonder how well it sits at it's different angles, I know the other two I've tried (even the official B&N one) tend to slip a lot with minimal vibrations (even like accidentally hitting the table it's on or something) and fall.

I look forward to reading what people say about it, though. I have until the 9th to order my rooCASE and now with seeing these, I'll wait to preorder.

haha unexpected and made me laugh! My cat's always trying to jump on "his" area when I'm using it, too!

Wow....these are amazing.

Too bad shipping to my place is just as expensive as the case itself. Literally.

Hm...I guess I'll never find the perfect case for me :/

Has anyone tried the Tuff-Luv Tri-Axis case?

It looks very interesting as it works as a stand in both portrait AND landscape

[Nook Color Accessories] rahlquist:
My Oberon Design case came today. I have to say this is some of the finest craftsmanship I have seen in a long time. I would HIGHLY recommend these and will be buying my wife one for her iPad. The leather is soft and supple and the rigid support panels adds just enough stiffness. You can access everything very easily except the microsd which is poorly placed on the nook color anyway. I shook it around just like they do in their video on their site and its not going to be coming out. If anyone has any questions just let me know. Here are some pix

Roocase Easy View

My Roocase Easy View just arrived!! My first impressions are very good. Seems to be very well made. The Nook Color slides into a plastic frame that holds 1/3 of the Nook. The rest is not permanently attached, but supported by a plastic frame behind it. This allows for the nook to sit horizontally on the case as a stand.

It's simple, no pockets or kickstands. The strap can be attached when folding it back for reading. Does not seem to add a great deal of bulk to the nook, but will be able to judge that better after using it some. I've become quite comfortable using it naked :-)

Pro:

Sleek, quality.

Magnetic closure

horizontal stand

Plastic attachment allows me to see my Decalgirl skin :-)

Magneta is a nice color -- not as "hot pink" as I had feared. (I'm sure this particular point will be a real seller for the guys in the room)

Available in Black, Red, Brown, and Magenta (See, you have choices)

Con:

Odor! Granted, it's only been out of the package for 5 minutes -- but there is a definite manufacturing smell. I'm assuming that will dissipate with time!

Hope that's helpful for anyone on the fence about this new case.... Will take pictures and do a more thorough update after I've had it for a while.

[Nook Color Accessories] boborone:
^ the skin you talked about. What search term are you using to find em. And is it a decal like just a sticker you put on it or a full on skin?
[Nook Color Accessories] BethyM:
It is just a decal. The manufacturer of the one I have is http://www.decalgirl.com/

I bought mine on Ebay from http://stores.ebay.com/Fantasticskins-and-Accessories -- they are a subsidiary of the parent company. By going the Ebay route I reduced my selection (which was a good thing! Too many choices doesn't work for me) and didn't have to pay shipping.

Now, I'm just hoping this case stops stinking in the next couple days :-)

Landscape RooCase

Just got the adjustable landscape roocase in tonight. Absolutely worth more than what I paid. Didn't want to brag too much about a CM 7 Mod on Amazon, but this is perfect for a landscape theme. Check out my review on Amazon by jbs.

On sale for $25 now.

I'm really interested in the Easy View rooCASE. Can someone that purchased it post some pictures? Would a silicone case fit inside it?
[Nook Color Accessories] RevBlackie:
Case/bag recommendation

I usually carry my NC in the stock B&N neoprene cover and thrown in whatever Maxpedition or similar bag I happen to be using for everyday carry at the moment. But if anyone is looking for a minimalist carrier, just big enough for your nook, phone, notepad/pen and a few sundries, check out the Rothco Venturer Traveler Portfolio bag on Amazon.

I haven't posted enough times to embed a link, but just search for "Rothco Venturer Traveler Portfolio" and it should pop up.

I got it for around $10 and it's a good little bag. It fits the NC perfectly. Some of the reviews complain about the construction quality, but mine seems pretty solid.

Here are some pictures.
[Nook Color Accessories] :
Mine just came in to. I didn't want to spend much so I signed up for their credit card :P But holy cow, the roocase is NICE! Audio is muffled when closed, but when angled in landscape I find the back helps reflect the sound to the front :D
[Nook Color Accessories] :
It hugs the NC (well). No way a case would work.
[Nook Color Accessories] tablo:
Thank you sikesjb for the pics and everyone else for the in put. I'll be picking one up soon. I'm glad I waited to get a case. :)

[Nook Color Accessories] Bobioden:
Great looking case. One question. When reading can you fold the cover back, or do you have to read with the case just open?
[Nook Color Accessories] Maverick777:
You can read either way. Folding it will not damage the leather in anyway (there's actually a note included with the cover that specifically states this). Here's a pic.

I use this case stand since I got my Nook Color in January. I see that now Amazon for fulfils the orders for it now. I had to wait two weeks back then but it was worth it. No excuses not to get it now.

http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Leath...3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1306015551&sr=1-3

It completely durable and can be a stand for your Nook Color too.
[Nook Color Accessories] timmyjoe42:
I love my new CrazyOnDigital case. $16 from Amazon and probably as good as the Roo. It has some nice landscape viewing stand positions which are great for typing on or watching video or reading.

[Nook Color Accessories] thegameksk:
For the oberon case, is their a slot for the speaker? If not does the speaker work well?
[Nook Color Accessories] :
That looks better than the roo. hate the look of cheap leather. How much weight does that add?
[Nook Color Accessories] rht_rv:
looks like it adds a lot of bulk to it, doesnt look to horrible visually though
[Nook Color Accessories] d.v:
And probably 25% of the weight, too! Not my cup o' tea but more power to the folks who can afford them and don't mind dragging around the extra weight.
[Nook Color Accessories] timmyjoe42:
It doesn't make it seem too much heavier, just better protected. I'd say it is more along the lines of a hard back book. The only real problem with it is the speaker is completely muffled when using the read to me books, but then again, the nook speaker sucks to begin with. I hate the cheap leather feel too, but this one isn't too bad. (I'd prefer neoprene to anything, but this is actually pretty nice.

I considered the Roo, but knew the magnetic flap sticking up would drive me nuts.
[Nook Color Accessories] :
Ordered the bn industriell since I had a coupon. Weird that none of my local bn have it in stock. Oh well.

Here is one I made form a cheap(around $3-$4) agenda cover that Big Lots had. Covered some quilt batting with fabric, glued it in with Goop, then sewed in the elastic and the cover piece for the bottom of the tablet.

I was inspired by this video , when I recognized the agendas I had seen in my local store in the video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZKMgWhtZ9o&feature=player_embedded

Very cheap, and much more sturdy than most of the expensive cases I've seen thus far.
[Nook Color Accessories] Taosaur:
I went with one of the JAVOedge cases after seeing a couple of their designs on Amazon that had a cool aesthetic but were more on the girly side. All their designs have a nice casual look, more like a decent journal than a day planner. They're also very slim. I was after a book-style case initially, but went with the Pioneer flip case because of the simple picture-frame type stand which works well in either portrait or landscape.

http://www.javoedge.com/store/e-reader/barnes--noble/nook-color

It was a good call, because I now use the stand constantly--right alongside my PC monitor, on my lap, or atop a pillow pile on my chest in bed. The magnetic clasp works great for both the cover and the stand, there is a speaker cut-out, and all buttons/ports are accessible except the SD slot. There is a pointless cutaway to highlight B&N's pointless loop, but no way are you getting in there.

Overall I'm quite happy with the case, and the NC stays in it just about 24/7. It adds quite a bit in terms of protection and utility with a simple design and very little added bulk.
[Nook Color Accessories] crea78:
Taosaur, that case looks very nice!!
[Nook Color Accessories] jacjar1:
Thats awesome...I was looking for a case that I could put a paper or 2 to travel with on plane and this is perfect..
[Nook Color Accessories] beyondinferno:
So, I was looking at RooCase's on amazon (around $30)... Anyone have 1?
[Nook Color Accessories] The Mad Mule:
The Landscape one?
[Nook Color Accessories] beyondinferno:
Either that one or the the easel type. I'm leaning more toward the portfolio one because of the storage.

Thoughts?
[Nook Color Accessories] The Mad Mule:
I've had the RooCase Landscape case for a week now. Here was my thought process/loose review as I got used to it:

First 48 hours: holy wow, the reviews weren't kidding, this stuff smells like chemicals and leather. (So I put it outside for those first 48 hours; the smell mostly went away after that.)

After that to now: slide the NC in via the plastic holders in the case, easy enough. When you close it, the top doesn't match up with the bottom (of by a few millimeters), so if you have OCD (like me), then it's a bit irksome. The magnetic latch does a good job of holding it together though, and it can be easily folded under when you deploy the NC in landscape mode. The case overall has enough padding so it doesn't look bulky, and also feels like it'll help the NC out if you tend to throw it in a crowded bookbag or backpack before heading out the door. Probably a light drop on the ground as well.

Verdict: In the end, I guess the pros outweigh the cons. I was looking for a simple case that could protect the Nook while in transport, and also keep it up while I'm watching Netflix on it. This RooCase model does those two things very well, and I think it's worth considering.
[Nook Color Accessories] jacjar1:
This is so cool...cant see paying for some of these fancy cases that dont do what I want. I like the extra room and the strap to keep it closed...
[Nook Color Accessories] :
Got my BN industriell case today.

Pros

+ No frills, doesn't add much weight or bulk

+ Super Sleek and classy look (photos at BN.com don't do it justice)

+ Did I mention the aesthetics?

+ Cheapest price point for the BN cases

+ Probably somewhat waterproof due to the polyurethane exterior

Cons

- No frills. Nothing to hold paper, business cards, or pen, no stand

- Nothing to keep it closed shut (although you could probably rig something up yourself

- Like all BN cases, its somewhat pricey compared to some of the third party cases with more functionality

As usual this is an opinion, so I would recommend you demo-ing it by going to a BN B&M store.
[Nook Color Accessories] cymoze:
I picked this one up because it allows landscape propping and came with an anti-glare screen protector. Screen protector repels fingerprints nicely but was a mm too wide. Snips took care of that issue.

The case was nicer than I thought it would be. Everything is faux, though...faux leather exterior (feels more like a tough woven nylon), faux suede interior. No big smell that I could tell. Magnetic closure was weak. Had to glue my own superstrong magnet discs on top of theirs, and then I was set. Fit is good, and for the price it's a good deal.
[Nook Color Accessories] ShutterPeep:
Got mine from skindigitalstore for 13.99. No complaints as it does what I need. Good quality which totally surprised me... I was expecting something bad. No smell, allows the NC to stand in landscape. I just wish it had compartments for micro sd cards. the front isn't aligned with the NC though, meaning the edges of the NC (right side and below) are seen and not just the screen. It fits fine, not too tight, not too loose. But nothing to lock the NC from the top where you slide it in.
[Nook Color Accessories] dohturdima:
This is the one I bought. Didn't expect much given the price and place of origin, but this is an excellent leather flip case which fits my NC perfectly, protects it well, appears well made and even has a couple of pockets & magnetic closure. It didn't take long to ship either and came with a decent anti glare screen protector.
[Nook Color Accessories] Fekish:
Hello!

what would you say it would be better:

Silicone glove case

Or

Leather case that folds.

Basically taking into consideration both, durability and also how practical it is :)
[Nook Color Accessories] Bruce777:
I've got the best nook color setup for under $55!! ;^)

Otterbox commuter case - $35 on Amazon (best case ever!!!)

Small Neoprene zippered carrying case - $7 on eBay (room to carry the adapter and cord)

Clear Acrylic "stand" for Netflix viewing - $6 on ebay

Over the headrest mount for my son's movie viewing on long car trips - $5 on ebay

I was gonna put some pics but I don't know how. :confused:
[Nook Color Accessories] For_the_moves:
I think it depends on how you're using it. If it's around the house I would go with a glove case. On the go, leather folding case for concealment.
[Nook Color Accessories] Taosaur:
I agree with sentence #1, but for me a flip case is outstanding around the house because of the flexibility for using it as a stand or handle to achieve a comfortable position. Still, it all depends on where and for what you're going to be using the NC, and your personal aesthetics. When I found a case that met all those criteria, it wasn't at all what I thought I'd been looking for.
[Nook Color Accessories] akaCat:
If you've got cats avoid the silicon case like the plague. Fur sticks to it like you wouldn't believe.

If I didn't have cats, I'd prefer to go with the silicon case plus a sleeve when I'm taking it out of the house. The leather cases are great, but they're always just a little heavier and bulkier.
[Nook Color Accessories] magicland:
For the price, it's a good case. Does everything I need, though I'm thinking of adding holes for the speaker, since when propped in landscape, the part blocking the speaker isn't the actual back of the case when the case is closed, giving the best of both worlds. You can watch movies or play games, and still have it protected on the go.
[Nook Color Accessories] TheSapient:
What I really want for the Nook Color is a cover like the one I have for my 1st gen Nook.

http://gifts.barnesandnoble.com/Industriell-Front-Cover/e/9781615513369/?cds2Pid=37684

It provides some impact protection when closed, adds very little bulk to the device, and could serve to reflect sound from the rear speaker to the user. Has anyone come across anything like this?

I may just get one of these. http://gifts.barnesandnoble.com/Dessau-in-Black-Sky/e/9781616825461/?cds2Pid=35616
