I like to think I'm a relatively simple man. I don't need the latest or the greatest. I'm quite content with something that meets my needs without all the extra bells and whistles. So when I got my first Nook I was content with the smaller black & white Nook Simple Touch. Did everything I needed it to do, but now I needed a case. A good solid case where I could feel confident that it would protect my investment. Feeling that the traditional leather and softbound cases where not in my favor I sought out something hard, something solid, something metal perhaps. Sadly there are few to no hard-cases for the Nook. I had nearly given up until I found this thing, a sleek aluminum metal case. Just what I wanted, so I ordered right away. Sadly this item is so badly made I can't even comprehend how it manages to stay on sale.

Well let's cover the most obvious flaw in this item. It doesn't even fit over your Nook. It looks the same size as a Nook Simple Touch, it feels the same size as a Nook Simple Touch, it is NOT the same size as a Nook Simple Touch. It is smaller and will not even fit over it. Try as I may over half an hour this thing simply didn't want to fit over my Nook. Well maybe I am incompetent? I handed this travesty of a product and my Nook to four other friends and asked them to try to get it in as well. Not one of them was able too. So either everyone I know is incompetent or this really doesn't fit. I know! It is because of thermal expansion! Clearly our air-conditioned rooms/offices of 70-72 degrees Fahrenheit were so hot that it causes to Nook to expand resulting in it not fitting. It all makes perfect sense, right? No, this product is just a sad excuse of a case.

But, hypothetically speaking, lets say you manage to get your Nook in this thing. Problem solved, right? I mean surely I'm an idiot and you'll have more success getting a simple electronic device into a case. If the boot fits the foot, no problem right? Oh how I envy your naivete. If you do buy this product, you'll notice almost immediately by looking inside that this item doesn't offer even the most simple of straps, harness or restraint to secure and hold your Nook in place. This is rather odd considering all the other cases I've seen offer something like this, but lets give this item the benefit of the doubt. So long as it doesn't pop open at the smallest of forces it doesn't really need to be secured firmly inside. Let's keep that in mind as we review my last point.

This item offers a simple, impractical, and ineffective snap-shut case that, for the life of me, I can't seem to get closed half the time. Remember that whole thing I said about it not fitting over a Nook Simple Touch. Let's not even worry about that. Right now the Nook isn't even in the case! I'm simply trying to close it without anything inside. What I'm saying is that the case is empty and it doesn't shut correctly! After half a dozen attempts, and feeling like an utter fool the whole time, I managed to successfully close the case. How did I know I closed it right? Because it successfully stayed closed after I held it face-down in midair. No problem right? I held this thing about 3 inches above my desk and dropped it and it popped open like a badly stuffed briefcase. At 3 inches only. I tried at 6 inches and it was even worse. I tried again at 1 foot, not even average desk height here. At 1 foot this case, regardless of what side I dropped it on, spilled open in the most undignified of ways spilling out it's contents. Remember, the case was empty for this experiment, but imagine if I had my Nook inside and I dropped while walking or from my desk, around 3 feet. This thing can't fall 3 inches without spilling the beans. Do you want to trust it falling 3 feet?

This aluminum case has one thing going for it. It looks nice, but it's a poor product made only to deprive you of your money. It opens at the drop of a dime, doesn't close right, and you only get those problems if you even manage to get your Nook to fit in it in the first place. Still all is not lost. The case is made out of aluminum. I'm sure if you take it to a recycling center you can get a few cents for it.
