The biggest problems, incidentally, are actually caused by the quality of the case. That was a new lesson for me, that an apparent step up in quality might cause several steps down in the functionality of a product. It's the thickness of the leather that I'm talking about. It's not clunky thick and has a great feel before you start to use the Sansa but the first problem will be noticeable as soon as you turn the Sansa on. It's much harder to press the power button (in particular) as well as the left/right/down controls (I find the wheel is a little to sensitive & I have a harder time controlling it that way) due to the ridges created by the thickness of the leather case being right next to the buttons. The quality of the leather also creates another problem which may be more serious & that's the space it causes between the clear screen protector with a free edge at the bottom and the screen itself, allowing dirt, pet hair, lint, etc. to collect in between the protector and the actual screen, thereby completely ruining the purpose of the protector for anything but fingerprints and possibly even causing more scratches than otherwise might occur. Finally, the plastic screen protector, which dulls very quickly, greatly reduces visibility (I download a few movies to my Sansa to watch during the long wait at the airport as well as during the flight when traveling by air).
I don't use this case at all anymore. Now I keep my Sansa and all of it's accessories together in a digital camera sized bag and I'm considering a silicone sleeve for protection during use. Anyone want to buy a slightly used version of this product at a discount?

BoxWave Kindle ClearTouch Anti-Glare Screen Protector (Single Pack) - Fits the newest Kindles - Kind
I cleaned the screen with the provided lint-free cloth, peeled off the backing of the screen protector, and carefully aligned the ClearTouch with my Kindle screen. Amazingly enough, the ClearTouch acted like a "smart" protector and settled perfectly to the screen area.
One issue that arose was a few initial bubbles under the ClearTouch. These disappeared once I followed the package instructions and pressed the bubbles out with the included applicator card. Being a bit inept at this sort of thing, I had also managed to get a few specks of dust on the screen. I removed the ClearTouch, washed it per the instructions, and reapplied. There were some water bubbles, but again, these were easily removed.
My overall experience with BoxWave's ClearTouch has been a positive one. Any issues with bubbles are fairly easy to resolve, and I love how the ClearTouch is so unnoticeable! I would strongly suggest this screen protector for anyone who truly loves their Kindle.*** UPDATE 2011-10-05 ***
This ClearTouch Anti-Glare Screen Protector will fit the screens on:
Kindle 1
Kindle 2
Kindle 3/Keyboard Wi-Fi
Kindle 3/Keyboard 3G
Kindle (Latest Generation)
Kindle Touch Wi-Fi (Latest Generation)
Kindle Touch 3G (Latest Generation)
All these Kindles have the exact screen dimensions.
---
I have a 1st Generation Kindle and this ClearTouch Anti-Glare Screen Protector is a *perfect* fit.
First off, to address complaints about trapped bubbles, all screen protectors will potentially leave some bubbles behind no matter what. You will not find a screen protector that doesn't. With that said, the Boxwave Screen Protector is the best screen protector money can buy. I have been using the Boxwave brand of screen protectors for years for all my electronic gadgets and I've been extremely happy with them. They're pricier than most other brands of screen protectors, but they're well worth it. They are *very* high quality screen protectors you really *do* get what you pay for! I was trying to save a few buck$ by getting one of these for my Kindle boy, was that a mistake! I ended up tossing it out and getting this Boxwave screen protector instead.
Pros
----
Fits both 1st and 2nd generation Kindles
Anti-glare
The anti-glare surface is at least as anti-glare as the original Kindle screen.
Protects screen from finger smudges, scratches, dirt, and other undesirables
The screen protector serves an important purpose even though the Kindle doesn't have a touch screen. Having a screen protector on the Kindle gives me more room to grab on to the Kindle. I like to grab on to my Kindle without having to worry about inadventently leaving prints on the screen or scratching the screen.
Lasts a long time
The screen protectors are very durable and will probably last the life of your Kindle. Since the Kindle doesn't have a touch screen, you will not be wearing the screen protector out by tapping on it with your finger or with a stylus.
Invisible
You can't tell there's a screen protector on your Kindle if you've properly applied the screen protector.
If you decide to remove the screen protector, it will not leave a sticky residue behind.
Cons
----
Leaves bubbles
To be fair, *all* screen protectors *are* going to leave trapped bubbles behind. I have two minuscule bubbles trapped in my screen protector but these are hardly noticeable, especially when the Kindle is turned on. Don't fret if you have a bubble or two trapped in the film. These typically diminish or disappear over time. The included plastic card and microfiber cloth will help in removing any bubbles.
Pricey
But you do get what you pay for! The Boxwave screen protectors are about the best quality screen protectors I've ever seen.
Tips
----
First align the screen protector with one side of the Kindle screen (left or right, depending on whether you're left-handed or right-handed), ensuring that the film is not slanted. SLOWLY lower the screen protector from one side of the Kindle, all the while making sure you carefully monitor the alignment of the film to ensure it isn't slanted. AS SOON AS you find that it's been misaligned, peel it off right away and restart the process. The film has a certain amount of rigidity to make it easy to work with (it has the rigidity similar to that of a transparency film). As you lower the film, push out any trapped bubbles. If you made a botch of the application, use a piece of scotch tape to pull the one corner of the film up so you can get a handle on the film to peel it off completely. Start over. A small plastic card and a microfiber cloth is included to help you smooth out the film.
Thoroughly clean the screen before you apply the screen protector. Use a Swiffer duster or the included microfiber cloth to clean off any dust on you Kindle. Don't be lazy or try to cut corners any specks of dust that get stuck on to the screen protector will be almost impossible to remove! (I use a Swiffer duster and some cotton balls soaked in alcohol to clean my screen before I apply the screen protector).
Some people suggest that you use a pin to prick the bubbles. I wouldn't recommend it since you risk damaging you screen. (It would be rather ironic, wouldn't it, if you damaged the screen while you're trying to protect it?). Like I've mentioned, the trapped bubbles typically diminish or disappear over time anyway.

The Boxwave Anti-Glare Screen Protectors are the best screen protectors you can get for the money. The problem with trapped bubbles is a problem inherent in all screen protectors and shouldn't deter you from getting the Boxwave Screen Protector. Be sure to observe the application procedures outlined above and you'll be very happy with the results!Ok. I admit it. I am anal when it comes to scratches on my techno gadgets. Having said that, after recently receiving my Kindle 2, I was worried that the screen might get scratched. I ordered this directly from the manufacturer. I didn't realize Amazon sold it, but that is besides the point.
I love it. It installed just as instructed. I have a tiny, tiny air bubble at the bottom of the screen that refuses to go away. Other than that, you don't even notice that it is there. My mind is at ease :-)After reading several negative reviews, I did not plan to buy this screen protector, and in fact, I bought a different one. However, one of these screen protectors came with the silicone skin that I also bought, so I decided to try it. It went on easily and works just fine. The other protector that I had deliberately bought remains unopened in my Kindle case as a backup.
Bubble-free application is easy, but you have to take some care. There are two steps to a bubble-free application: cleaning the Kindle screen and applying the protector properly.
(1) Clean the Kindle screen before you apply the screen protector. I cleaned my Kindle's screen in two steps. First, I dusted it lightly with a lint-free cloth. Second, I sprayed it with a small amount of lens cleaner for eyeglasses and then wiped that off.
(2) Apply the screen protector. The screen protector comes sandwiched between two clear films. Each film has a tag sticking out, one of which says "1 Back" and the other of which says "2 Front". (Some early reviews say the two films were not identified, so apparently these tabs have been added since the screen protector first appeared on the market.) The "back" side goes against the Kindle screen, and the "front" side faces you after the screen protector has been applied. So, you peel off the protective films in numerical order. Start by peeling off the film with the "1 Back" tab. That uncovers the clingy surface that will go against the Kindle screen. Be careful not to touch that surface with your fingers lest you get hand oils or dirt on it. Hold the screen protector by its edges and align its bottom edge with the bottom edge of the Kindle's screen. Gradually let the protector fall against the screen, moving from bottom to top, by pressing it and lightly rubbing it with the card applicator that comes with the screen. You may have to pull off the last millimeter or two if you get a bubble and then push it back down. Work your way all the way to the top. You should end up with no bubbles. You then can peel off the film on the other side ("2 Front").
Note that the screen protector is somewhat stiff. That makes it easy to apply, but it also means that if a tiny speck of dirt gets between the protector and the screen, the speck will hold the protector off the screen well around the speck itself, resulting in a very noticeable bubble. If you get a speck under the protector, peel the protector back far enough to reveal the speck and then lift off the speck by touching it with the sticky side of a piece of adhesive tape wrapped around your finger. You can use the protective film you peeled off the protector to lift the corner of the protector so that you don't touch the protector's sticky side with your finger.
The package for the screen protector says it is removable and washable. The protector has no adhesive on it. It is just a very sticky plastic. It therefore is easy to remove. Just peel it off. Because there is no adhesive, I presume both sides of the protector can be washed, but I don't know for sure. You can clean specks of dirt off the sticky side of the protector by pressing the sticky side of adhesive tape against the protector and lifting off the dirt. I did that with a makeshift protector I made from the original protective film that the Kindle came with. It worked fine with that film, so I presume it will work with this much heavier protector.
By the way, that makeshift protector had quite a few small bubbles under it, but they made no difference to the readability of the Kindle. My experience is that bubbles are more esthetically displeasing than a serious interference with function. Also, the makeshift protector was shinier than this dedicated protector, yet I had no trouble reading the Kindle even in bright sunlight. Glare seems not to be a practical problem.
This protector is an excellent product.Absolutely impossible to apply without bubbles, dozens of them. Far more glare than the plain screen too, so you end up with a much more difficult to read kindle.
Buy a case and put it in immediately after using and you won't have to worry about scratches. Don't waste your money on these "protectors".
And don't believe the "easy to apply" "no bubbles if applied correctly" because these are obviously written by paid reviewers. No one out of the dozen friends who have tried this have been able to apply one without a minimum of 15 bubbles. They can't be worked out without scratching and damaging the plastic either.

RhinoSkin Aluminum Hardcase for Palm V
- 100 percent aircraft-grade aluminum
- Sleek ergonomic design
- Padded interior for protection against drops and collisions
- Silo-integrated mounting system
- Stylus remains easily accessible
What I found was a very sturdy, all aluminum case that will most definitely protect your Palm V from extreme hard knocks. However, the padding is so thin I can't believe it would protect your Palm from a fall on a hard surface.
Furthermore, the case has many sharp, unfinished corners and edges, and the design makes removing the stylus difficult without lifting the Palm slightly from the bottom half of the case. As with other hard cases, HotSyncing is a problem, but just move the cradle to the edge of your desk to allow the case to hang over the edge.
Yes, it does offer protection, but I was expecting a lot better fit and finish for my money. If your Palm lives in an environment that is harsh, like the bottom of a toolbox, this is the case for you. Otherwise, buy the "Palm" hard case and spend the difference on books and CDs here.
Buy RhinoSkin Aluminum Hardcase for Palm V Now
Currently, this is the best hardcase on the market for the Palm V, Vx, and IBM C3. It is extremely well-made (everything seems to fit perfectly) and adds very little size or weight to these slim PDAs. There are many good reasons to get this case, but there are also a few improvements they could make.Let's start with the good stuff. The aluminum case has a brushed finish which looks good a wears reasonably well. Like all aluminum, it will scratch. But if you keep this in pockets or bags away from keys and such, it should do just fine for a long time. The advantage of aluminum, of course, is that it is extremely light and adds almost no perceptable weight to carrying my Palm Vx around.
The case is shaped to fit right around the PDA so it adds almost no size either. The whole thing slips easily into a front shirt pocket or anywhere else you would've carried your sleek Palm V. After all, isn't that why you bought it?
The PDA is held in the case securely by a center rail which slides into the left stylus silo and the interior of the case is padded with neoprene which works well. There are slots in the sides of the case for IR beaming and access to the stylus on the right side when the case is open. When it's closed the PDA is completely enclosed and protected.
There are, however, some drawbacks you need to keep in mind if you want to buy this case. First, it's VERY difficult to sync without removing your PDA from the case. It's possible, but very difficult. Second, the edges aren't sharp but they will scratch things (like your PDA) if you're not careful. Third, certain accessories will not play well with this case (some styli or the Bond Latches for example) since they won't fit inside the snug case when it's closed. Fourth, it's not cheap.
A few of these could be easily fixed (maybe there will be a v2.0 of this case). Maybe a clearcoat on the exterior finish and some extra slots cut into the sides of the case. A hinge that allows the case to open wider might allow easier syncing and some way to attach a security cord (like the Bond Latch) would be helpful (I'm a big believer in beeper bungees for any electronics you carry around). A lower price is always good! (Any of these things would earn the case a "6th" star!)
Basically, I'd say if you want the best hardcase out there, get this one. It's much better than any of the others I've seen including a recent look-alike that comes in cool colors but is VERY poorly made (sorry, I forget the name). The Palm hardcase doesn't even fall into the same league as this case and shouldn't even be considered if you ask me. Some of the soft cases out there are worth considering since they will offer similar protection from drops but won't do as well for pressure on the case.
If you've got the money, I'd highly recommend this case as a worthwhile purchase to protect your investment (the Palm V's ain't cheap either!). Otherwise, I'd suggest a good softcase before you consider any of the other hardcases currently on the market. This is THE hard case to beat and it will be hard to beat!
Hope this is helpful...good luck with your purchase!
Read Best Reviews of RhinoSkin Aluminum Hardcase for Palm V Here
I wanted the best and I got the best. The Rhinoskin cover is the best way to really protect your Palm PC. It fits the PalmV like a glove and has a thin layer of rubber inside. While it will not act as a wallet or credit card holder it provides a permanent fix to bumping the on/off button, is very heavy-duty and durable, and just looks darn cool.The Palm device mounts on a stylus-shaped rod that is also hinged in with the two halves of the case. So by opening the case fully and swinging the Palm out between the two halves of the case it is possible to fit it in the Hotsync cradle on a flat surface. However, if you really want to have the Palm device in the cradle and see the screen, you can set the cradle on a book or just slide the Palm device out of the case.
I haven't found any of this to be much of a hassle(just descibing it is).
I am a farmer, so I need extreme Palm protection. If you do too, I suggest the Rhinoskin cover.
Want RhinoSkin Aluminum Hardcase for Palm V Discount?
I bought the rhino skin aluminium molded hardcase about 2 months ago, Ladies and Gentlemen THIS IS THE ONE you have been looking for, padded inside, light, and very hard, (if this one is hard enough, imagine the one made of titanium) smooth and very cool looking surface (everyone has to do with it), the rail that holds the Palm V keeps it in the center of the case, creating small spaces inside in order to avoid the palm to crash against the sides of it. The finish of the surface, most of the time, remains clean, so, you cant see spots, unless you throw it inside a dirty trash can, haha! (it does not mean you will never have to use a soft cloth with a little of window cleaner like rhino recomendsto clean it) and most of all if you want it to stay as nice looking as the first time you saw it, TRY NOT to carry your rhino in the same pocket along with coins, keys, etc.Another PRO for this case, is the fact that you can put it in your back pocket pants and sit on it and even not noticing it is there.
Im a College student so, most of the time Im in a rush and I needed a case which could resist the tough treatments my palm had, so I found it, if you want your Palm V or Vx to be protected this one is the right for you.
I dont use the stylus that came with the palm, I replaced it with the very little but easy to use and much better than the one from TTools, the "Cross" stylus/pen is very stylish, very good mechanism that remains like new a whole life, you can put in the silo like the original stylus that came with your palm (you can find it at styluscentral.com , and the best of all is the price) I was affraid to buy it and not to use it because of the tip of the stylus, (the one you use to pull it out the silo) might be too big for the rhino case, so it would not close normaly, I fixed the problem and I will tell you how! first take a sandpaper not too rough and use it on the tip I told you before (BE CAREFULL NOT TO USE IT ON THE TIP YOU WILL USE TO WRITE ON YOUR PALM, WHICH IS VERY CLOSE TO IT) use the sandpaper vertically until you get the exact shape that will not interrupt the closing mechanism of the case. During this process be carefull not to scratch other parts of the pen. If you decide to buy this usefull stylus/pen in order to use it on the rhino aluminium case these instructions will help you a lot, but in case you dont want to make all this and have another place to carry a stylus I still recomend you to buy it anyway. The ink replaces are cheap too.
I dont believe all the publicity and the magic products I see, so, as a researching costumer, I only buy the product if I believe it is worth the price and most of all the quality. So I took the time to write this in order to help you out in finding the best products for your palm. I really hope it helps. Thank you for reading.With this case I can take my Palm Vx just about everywhere with me. Its small size, shape (slightly tapered), smoothness, and rigidity let me easily slip it into my front pants pocket along with my wallet (sitting isn't a problem). Since I usually wear pants, I usually have my Palm with me. As other reviewers have noted, it is inconvenient to remove the stylus. However, I mostly use my Palm at my desk at work or home, and I keep a spare stylus at each desk. Because the case is so smooth, I occasionally have difficulty opening the case. And, after about six months of use, the padding seems to have shrunk. I stuck a small piece of felt on the back of my Palm to stop it from rattling inside the case. And it is somewhat inconvenient to place the Palm on the cradle-you can't just drop it in. However, despite these minor drawbacks, being able to safely and conveniently have my PDA with me all the time easily justifies the cost of this case for me. If you've ever found yourself without your Palm because it was inconvenient to take it with you, this case may be a solution for you.

iGadgitz Black 'ArmourDillo' PU Leather Case Cover for Acer Iconia Tab A500 A501 10.1 Android Tablet
- Hand stitched designer leather case with unique style
- Customised design to fit the Acer Iconia with cut-outs for all ports, cameras, sensors and buttons
- Camera lens protection strap
- 4 position viewing stand smartly designed to integrate into the case
- Magnet free cover design means all compass related navigation features will still work accurately!
However, despite the fact that it seems to fit the bill for toughness, my son won't use it because "it looks like a purse".
I have to agree that it sort of does when it is closed.
The leather seems a little on the cheap side. It looks fine, not plastic-y, but not luxury either kind of midgrade.

Acase BlackBerry Playbook High Quality Premium Slim Leather Case Folio with built-in Stand for for B
- Designed specifically for BlackBerry Playbook 7-Inch Tablet (16GB, 32GB, 64GB), Wi-Fi
- This well designed Playbook case is a Slim Fit PC case covered by Premium Litchi Grain Mark Leather,
- All the cut-outs of the leather case are specially designed for the Playbook, all ports and buttons are accessible.
- The interior of this case is made of microfiber, which does not scratch the body and the screen of the Playbook.
- The grooves on the slim leather provide the Playbook multiple angles to choose from.
- Provides full body protection especially for 4 corners of Playbook
First, it is very light. When closed with the Playbook, the case is still less that 2cm thick, so it does not add much bulk to the device. The Playbook still looks high-tech when closed and you have access to all ports, buttons and microphones. When using as an open stand, there are 3 viewing angles; two angles with the PB in the slots, and a more acute one with the PB resting on the upper clasp hooks. I'd estimate those angles to be 60, 45 and 30 respectively.
Fold it all the way around flat and the upper clasp hooks raise up the back slightly enough (maybe 5 degrees) so the PB still angles toward you with the camera on top. The inner and outer side of the case where the display is has padding inside and out. I'm not sure about the durability of the leather since it is not the same used on the Kindle case by Acase which I think is sturdier, but the stitching and interior padding are well done.
Finally, the clasps add a lot of ergonomically comfortable options for holding the Playbook in your hands.When the Playbook first came out I purchased one for my wife. We found this case after doing a great bit of research on the various cases. I was a little concerned that it was priced so low, but with Amazon's great return policy, I took the chance. This has turned out to a great case. It fits the Playbook very well and the recesses are great for adjusting the angle of viewing. My 3 year old daughter has no problem opening and closing the case either. The case does not hamper the taking of pictures or video and provides a comfortable hand hold while playing games. I just purchased another Playbook for myself and added another one of these cases as well. This case is proving to be an outstanding value and good protection for my playbook. I would wholly recommend this case to any Playbook owner.Good product, usefull!!! Buy it if you are looking for quality to your life; soft and easy to use it.I bought this for my mother in addition to her Playbook last Christmas and it works great. She has no complaints.After using the Acase for 3 months, I would say that it has everything that you would want in a quality tablet case.
1. Good quality leather
2. Light weight
3. Holds the tablet securely
4. Allows access to all ports and camera
5. Opens and closes easily
6. Several stand settings for easy viewing
7. Feels good in your hand
8. Can withstand a waist-high drop
I really can't think of any negatives. For me, it's the perfect case.

Cyberpower 850 8-Outlet Surge Suppressor - 2400 Joules 15A RJ11 EMI/RFI
- 3 Transformer spaced outlet
- 8 Protected outlets
- LED Surge and ground indicator lights
- 6' Heavy duty power cord with right angle plug
- Child-safe outlet covers
Surge Suppressors(protectors) are designed to cut your equipment off from the outlet the moment it detects a surge of power. The Joules rating on surge protectors is important. Essentially the higher the rating, the more durable the surge protector is. 500 joules is all you need, but the higher you go the more resilient the protector becomes. This is because the minute a surge protector/suppressor blocks a surge the components inside are designed to detect said surge, and redirect it to ground(avoiding your components) This results in the device breaking/burning out. The more joules the device can handle, the more it is able to redirect before failing. So a 2000 joule device could perhaps take a lightning strike to a home and survive long enough to redirect the initial harmful blast... while a 200 joule device burns out almost immediately and the continued surge tears into your electronics
** if you have a SURGE and the protector survives... remove it immediately as in rare cases they can survive, the components inside that PROTECT against surges have already burnt out. Meaning next time you get a surge it will just zap your electronics **
The reason why I love cyberpower products is because they actually stand by their warranty. If you have a surge (and can prove the surge) they will give you fair market value for the devices (usually 50% of face value since the stuff was used) better than getting nothing. I had a major surge hit my house when the main power line to my house failed (most homes have 2, 110volt lines going to your house.. one of mine literally exploded underground due to the power company failing to perform routine maintenance in the area) It caused half my house to pretty much surge out of control. Any device not hooked up to a surge protector was instantly toast. Only stuff that survived was stuff hooked up to my two cyberpower surge protectors. After witnessing just how invaluable surge protectors/suppressors are I've got everything on surge protectors now! And try my best to convince my relatives and friends that a "power strip" doesn't have a high enough Joule rating to protect you from a "major" surge.
Anyhow to sum it up Cyberpower is the company you want to deal with
1. They actually do back up their warranty claims 100% (other reviews here even confirm that)
2. Their products are top notch and don't cost much at all. Many other brands you are paying simply for "name"
3. High ratings and good placement of the plugs (3+ transformer ports)
4. Indicator lights which basically are used as "test" lights. As long as the lights remain on you are protected. If the "surge" light is off... the device is not functioning as a surge protector anymore.. if the "ground" light is off.. the outlet you are plugged into is NOT GROUNDED (very bad).
Wonderful product that is lightweight, cheap, quality and can last for years (I have 2 cyberpower 880's that are going on 5yrs now still in perfect working order because thankfully no surges)
Some added specs on this model Surge Protector
Built in 15amp breaker
response time: Less than 1ns (nanosecond)
surge suppression of 6,000 volts and up to 90,000 amps (most lightning bolts are 5,000 20,000 amps so this baby can actually suppress a small lightning strike)
*** This device will not protect you against a BROWN-OUT you will need a special UPS (uninterrupted power supply). Cyberpower actually is one of the few companies out there which produce UPS devices that have built in brownout protection.

Great price for a great product. Bought two. You will have no problems with large plugs and the unused outlets cover-up to keep my kids fingers out!!!Want Cyberpower 850 8-Outlet Surge Suppressor - 2400 Joules 15A RJ11 EMI/RFI Discount?
My desktop computer and other equipment were damaged by a power surge even though they were properly connected to a surge protector manufactured by Cyberpower. For three days, I have repeatedly called the Cyberpower warranty claims department as instructed to make a claim for connected equipment damages. I left voice messages with the claims administrator who has never answered the phone in person. They do not appear to return phone calls.I looked at quite a few other surge suppressor power strips before settling on this one. From what I was able to come up with, this strip has a high enough rating for Joules and a price that makes sense. It is also quite sturdy. I'm using it for a 42 inch plasma, a DVR and a Sony surround sound system. If I were going to spend a lot of money on a surge suppressor, I'd consider a whole-house system rather than an expensive unit that plugs into the wall.Monday, March 24, 2014

CrazyOnDigital 4-item Kit- Leather Case, Screen Guard and Reader Light for Barnes and Noble Nook
- Top quality Leather custom made case for the Barnes and Noble Nook eBook Reader
- Protective Screen Guard prevents screen degradation over time caused by dust, grease and scratches
- Night-time Reader Light allows full enjoyent of product during night-time hours
- Brand New Product
- Comes with signature green CrazyOnDigital wristband!
The clasp is a magnetic type that seems a little "off". It closes fine, but it doesn't seem very centered and you can tell by the picture. That doesn't seem like it would be a problem, though.
The accessories aren't that great. The light is bright enough, but the metal clip seems too tight. I tried to place it on the cover, and the thin material seemed like it was in danger of ripping. The light takes three small watch-type batteries which could be a little expensive. I didn't try out the screen guard, but I see no purpose for it. The case should protect the Nook and the main screen isn't even a touch screen, so you shouldn't worry about it scratching.
Finally, the rubber wrist band is amazing! It's green! It stretches! I haven't tried it out, but you could probably shoot it at your least favorite relative or use it to bind something together. You most likely could use it as a fashion statement because I imagine the lime green color would go with just about anything. As a bonus feature, not only does it include the company's name and log, but it also includes some memorable catch words (something like life, love, honor, blah blah blah).I was not expecting real leather just something that was durable and comfortable enough to carry my nook. That is what I found, it's no sense in spending 50.00 or more unless you just have that type of money to spend for accessories. As far as the light and the clip apparatus, I clip it onto the cover right behind the nook instead of clipping it onto the nook itself. That method seems to work well for me when it's necessary to read using the light. I am satisfied with my purchase thus far, and the wristband that came with it, My grandson is having fun with it. We can sit side by side reading our books him on his V-Tech V-Reader and me on my Nook, doesn't get any better than this.Unlike the other reviewer that pointed out that this was not real leather, I was expecting this to actually be real leather. Why? Well, because the description very clearly stated that it would be. The description doesn't just say leather, it says "top quality leather". This isn't even close. In fact, all the other fake leather stuff that I won laughs at this because it's the worst fake leather that I've seen. I gave it two stars because it does protect the device, so it's better than nothing. But my fear is that over time, this stuff is going to start peeling and leave a mess in my backpack.
As for the other stuff that comes with it... The light I received seems to be defective. You have to wiggle the light around to get it to turn on. I'm not using this for a nook (it's for an Archos 7) so I'm not using the screen protector. So I can't comment on that. And the bracelet? Well, it's an ugly green bracelet. I don't really get why it was even included with this. But honestly, I couldn't have cared less about these items as I was just interested in the case, and it was a disappointment. I ended up buying a real leather case off fleabay for ten bux.Just put my new Nook Color in this case and am good to go. The Nook Color fit perfectly. Handy to have screen protector with micro cloth included. Not only that, but a soft card is also included to get out any air bubbles. Unfortunately, the screen protector is too small for the Nook Color. Perhaps the standard Nook would be a better fit. Plus, an instruction sticker stuck to the screen protector itself marring it rendering it unusable. All in all, thoughtful combo of goods.Unlike other reviewers, I have no idea if my case is real leather or not. If not, well it appears to be well made and will stand up to use. The straps inside hold the Nook well and it will not fall out. The magnetic clasp holds it shut well. I believe my Nook to be well protected inside of it.
The light works, but it is not as nice as the official light made for a Nook. That one has a pad on the clip that holds it dircetly on the Nook and will not scratch. I haven't tried the one that came with this set on an actual Nook and I doubt I will. There is nothing to keep it from scratching a Nook. It is a metal clip that doesn't stretch much and would not stretch far enough to fit directly on the Nook. It does, however, work and can be used with a regular book.
I did use the screen protector. I followed the relatively simple directions for putting it on. It is the right size for a regular Nook. I cannot, in any way, shape or form get all of the air bubbles out of it. Most of the time it does not matter, but if I look in the right direction, I can see little air bubbles throughout the screen.
As for the bracelet, I am with one of the previous poster. I have no idea why it is included in this set. It has nothing to do with this product. Perhaps they had no other way to get rid of them.

DT-5302 DMM with Capacitance Voltage Current Small Resistance Kelvin 4-wire Meter
- Low resistance range: 0 - 40 Ohm
- Display: Large back light LCD with bar graph display
- Maximum output current: 200 mA at 400 mOhm range
- Sampling rate: twice per second
- Auto power off: after about 15 minutes of non-use
Low resistance measurements require 4-wires and Kelvin clips for decent accuracy.
This meter does the job nicely and it's price was less than half of the others I considered.
While it does not have seven digits of accuracy, it also did not cost ten thousand dollars.
