With a couple tweaks, this could be a fantastic case, however are some deficits that disallow me from liking it too much.

The pros:

Easel style for propping up on table, lap, whatever...big selling point.

Construction seems solid, and the bulk makes for feeling like it will offer some protection.

Holds nook nice and snug

good access to controls/usb

Cons:

no speaker hole. C'mon now...the ribbon that attaches to the stand could have been stitched closer to the base and offered plenty of clearance. Disappointing.

Corners are not protected.

Opening towards the bottom is awkward, which then makes the little pocket pretty useless since it's now upside down.

I bought this item base on reviews. I'm not sure if I would of I was able to hold it first.

One of the best easel type cases I've seen, this fits the nook color perfectly, really feels nice under the fingers, props up the reader securely (with a lot of useful variations on the screen angle depending on how you're sitting, etc.), and seems quite tough. Even on the long spans around the edge of the screen, it lays flat and doesn't have an annoying gap. The nook is also quite well protected, and that goes to my only quibble: this case more than doubles the thickness of the nook color. Still thin enough that it doesn't matter to me since I just chuck it in a backpack, but it might to you if you're trying to squeeze your e-reader in a small purse or other "space constrained" spot.

After having it for a week, I haven't even wanted to take it off to try out the skin that I bought at the same time, which is significant. I will install an anti-glare screen protector, but that's more for readability in varied conditions than anything else.

Full points, excellent product so far.

Although the seller says these aren't available until January 20, 2011, I just received my new case yesterday. I couldn't have made a better choice! Does exactly what I was looking for at a much better price than the cases sold directly through Barnes and Noble. Multi-angle reading was my #1 selling point and I am totally satisfied with this stand. With 22 Angle Adjustable multi-views, the case works great while standing, sitting, or laying in bed. The Magnetic Button Closure is a quick, easy-to-use, and a less clumsy feature than a stretch cord or snap. Access to all Control makes this case convenient and hassle-free. Available colors Black, Grey Graphite, Pink and Red. I went with RED and couldn't be happier; the red makes my black Nook color POP -making a statement!

My only con is the Accessory Flap for Paper which is not visible in any of the pictures. The flap is located on the inside of the cover directly facing the Nook screen. Although this inside cover has the advertised Soft Microfiber Interior, the leather flap obscures 5.25" x 3.5" of that protective microfiber. Granted the flap hardly contacts the screen, but if you've had the same experience I've had with keyboard keys scratching your laptop screen, you understand my concern. So my solution: tuck the small microfiber cleaning cloth I will use anyway, on top of the screen before closing the cover. Of course, you could also purchase screen protective film, but I'm a purist and prefer to read with the complete clarity of the eReader glass screen unencumbered by film.

I have to admit, it does fit perfect leaving sufficient room for headphones and power/sync cable, BUT . . . The speaker holes are totally muffled. A few vent holes in the back would have make it perfect, but to compound things, the area is also padded entirely further muffling the audio. This doesn't matter for pure reading, but for audio playback and video viewing, it really makes it difficult. Thinking about slicing out a small wedge of padding, but . . . not sure it will cure anything.

I read at night before I fall asleep which is why I bought the back-lit Nook Color. I like the easel style of the roocase because it works great while I read in bed.

One problem I had it plugged in through the opening in the bottom of the case charging it while reading. When I decided to go to sleep, I flipped the case closed and bent the plug-in part of the charger. Broke it. Don't forget to unplug the charger before closing the case!
