JAVOedge Austin Flip Case for Barnes & Noble Nook Simple Touch (Purple)

• Specifically made for the Barnes & Noble Nook Touch Reader
• Built-in kickstand is easily propped open for hands-free reading
• Magnetic closure allows for hassle free access to your Nook Touch Reader
• Design of the Case allows for complete access to the screen and device features

This product is very useful. It protects the Nook when not in use, by covering the glass front. While reading the Nook while lying down, the case with the extra foldout leg, can stand up in a comfortable way so that one does not have to hold the Nook while reading. Incidentally, I did not find this cover among the products exhibited by Barnes and Noble.

Buy JAVOedge Austin Flip Case for Barnes & Noble Nook Simple Touch (Purple) Now

When I first bought my Nook Simple Touch I planned on just using it as-is, since it is so incredibly light and easy to carry that it seemed almost a shame to add a case to it. But, after lugging it around the house and to the gym a few times, it started to feel more and more fragile and I noticed more chances for it to get scratched, dropped, cracked, etc.

I looked at a lot of cases and settled on the JAVOedge Austin flip case. Out of the box, I will say that I was a little concerned with how bulky the case felt. Part of this is just the nature of adding any case to such a small ereader, and part of it is because the extra kick-stand on the back adds a little more thickness than usual. For the first few days while I got used to it I told myself I would just use the case when taking it outside, and would slip the Nook out and use it without the case around the house. It has been a few weeks now and I have yet to take the Nook back out.

I love the softness of the fabric on this case it feels nice in your hand and seems to be pretty high quality for the price. The Nook definitely feels secure and protected, but it is still easy to access all of the buttons and ports as-needed. And the kick stand on the back, while initially bulky, has become one of my favorite features. It's really easy to set this case upright on a table or on your chest if you're lying in bed so you don't have to hold it non-stop while reading. A first world problem, maybe, but if you read a lot and don't mind the extra bulk it adds to the case, it's worth it.

Would give this 4.5 stars if I could.
