The only small down fall is some sort of cover for the screen, but here on Amazon I can find something that I can put on and leave on not matter what cover I use. I will be buying more in many colors to match my moods.
Thank you for being you.I am very satisfied with this cover. I purchased it for my NOOK Tablet, but it will also work with the NOOK Color. It's soft and light, too.This would be an exemplary case for the nook except for several items, which may seem nit-picky, but to me, truly detract from what could have been a beautiful beautiful case.
Don't get me wrong, I do like this case quite a bitthe smooth exterior, magnetic clasps and a firm grip on the Nook when inserted, this case does deserve more attention than it's currently getting.
However, I have to focus on the negative sides in this case, as they are a strong counterargument (to me at least) towards the higher price of this case.
The "Binding" of this cover is too loose and flappy. It's even evident in the photosyou can see wrinkling and bulging in any photo that features the side. Even the main photo shows the binding isn't straight, and this is exactly how it shows on my case. Holding it doesn't give me much satisfaction, it actually nags at the back of my mind as "cheap!" Don't get me wrong, I'm aware that this is to allow the user to fully fold the cover behind itself easily, however I've dealt with enough cases that were able to do this without the cheap feeling.
Border bezel is off. While not too evident on the photos, the framing of my screen is more rhombus than rectangular. The corners of the inner bezel are very visible on the upper left and lower right portions of the cover. The cover border on the right is warping upwards, allowing me to see more of the nook's bezel more easily. The stitching is so concise that you cannot adjust the tablet to better fit this. Looks slightly sloppy, but once you actually are using the tablet, you won't remember these details. This is more of an aesthetic ding on their part (and this plays more into the price itself)
Fitting of the tablet might be... TOO flush.
The slot you insert the tablet into is open, as it is held in via tight friction. This means there is no guard to prevent it from hitting the ground if the case falls upside-down. Since the tablet fits in just flush, that means if you drop it wrong, case or no case, your tablet will still suffer drop damage. The chances are slim, but Murphy's Law is always there, so be careful.
Like the other reviewer, I really like this case. But for the price I did hesitate for a while, and even though I enjoy the protection it offers, I'll still always be a little irked at the small things that impede upon its perfection.
