I have been through a few returns to Amazon trying to find a case that is minimal, lightweight, and most importantly, supports my Nook Tablet in Vertical/Portrait Orientation for reading.
This case surprised me with its thoughtful design, and I'm keeping it!
Since the Photos in the product description don't do it justice, I will try to explain this thing a little better.
The case can be separated into 2 parts:
Padded Sleeve that fits snugly over the Nook, protects the back, all sides, and pads the frame around the screen. There is a hole in the bottom for easy charging and it's easy to access the memory card slot. Nook is secured snugly by a Velcro tab that tucks in the top. There's a big Velcro patch on the back of the sleeve that attaches to the ...
Rigid, Padded Stand that folds across the bottom and all the way up to protect the screen. This is secured at the top by some light magnets, feels like it won't pop open accidentally but not so strong that I'm worried about my credit cards. In this closed position the Nook is protected completely. When you open the magnetic closure above the Nook's screen, the rigid screen cover becomes a flat surface with 3 ridges to prop your Nook up at different angles. This is the feature I was searching for in other cases, since I use my Nook primarily for reading. If you want to watch a movie you can undo the sturdy Velcro connecting the Stand to the Sleeve, and rotate your Nook, using the stand the same way for Landscape/Sideways Orientation.
The case is made of black fake leather on the outside, and bright orange fake leather on the inside. The orange accents are pretty visible even when the case is closed. It came with a wrist strap too, which I took off right away.
It's lightweight, and does add some thickness to the Nook, but if you detach the Stand and use just the Sleeve, the Nook is slim and protected.
I couldn't be happier with this purchase, and I hope my description helps you make an informed decision!I was really excited to get this case. It looked like the best deal out there. I was a little disappointed when I used it, though. I like that it is a protective case that also serves as a stand for propping up my Nook, and that it works both vertically and horizontally. However, if you are using this case while watching movies or listening to music on the Nook, you have to plug it into larger speakers, because the case completely covers the speaker on the back of the Nook, muffling the sound quite a bit. I had a hard time hearing my music at all with the Nook in the case, and I had it at full volume.
Part of the reason I got this case was so I could prop up the Nook for my son to watch movies, but he can't hear the sound... kind of frustrating :(As some reviewers have already described the product in excellent detail, I'll give you my opinion based on my own experience. I was searching for a cover and stand that would work for my kids' new Nooks. The price point was pefect, since I had to buy two of them and they did not need to be anything especially sleek, just sturdy, lightweight and hardworking. The synthetic leather is of excellent quality. There is no visible glue and the seams are well stitched, I was very impressed with how well it's made. I am confident that they will hold up to the wear of kids under 10 and keep their devices protected. As mentioned by others, the orange accents are visible even when closed, which I think gives it a nice visibility for the kids to keep track of it in their backpacks and also a jazzy look. I also removed the straps, and instead added my own color-coded straps to differentiate the two for each kid. The Velcro is very strong (it's also pretty loud when seperating the stand from the covered device, a consideration for air travel or school use. But a majority of the cases out there with stands also have Velcro, so I would not downgrade the rating for that.) Having the ability to prop up the devices either horizontally or vertically for gaming, reading or watching movies is exactly what I was looking for. Another great feature is that the top flap that is magnetized to protect the screen when closed up actually folds back behind the Nook, so you don't have to seperate the two parts to hold the device in your hands, such as for gaming. This is great for kids: because everything stays together, there is less of a chance of losing the stand part of the case due to having to seperate the stand for handheld use. Altogether, it meets all the criteria I was searching for, and I was impressed with this product.I like the two positions for reading my nook, I can use it either way and with the cover protection, it weighs a lot less than the cover that I got with the nook.

This is the third case I've bought for my color nook, and I think it's a keeper! The durability of this case is outstanding. With my toddler taking my "book" to play his games or read his stories, I don't have to worry about him dropping and breaking it. The versatility of the product is even more appealing. That I can turn my nook vertical (for reading) or horizontal (for Angry Birds) is incredibly handy! And I love the stand. I wasn't sure I was going to like this product when purchasing it, but thought I'd try it out. I'm glad that I did. I love it! And it's SF Giants colors too! How can it miss? =)
