Looking for a slide-in case (neoprene, silicone, leather etc.) or just a case where the SD bay/cover is easily accessible for swapping out cards. Currently have an Industriell case but I dislike popping it in and out of the pressure-based placeholders so much when I'm trying out new SD installs, etc.
Would prefer a case where the entire SD bay cover/bay is uncovered so I don't have to remove the Nook from the case.

I just picked one up at Best Buy. Very nice case for traveling with your NC.

$40 for a nylon bag is a bit steep! No, a lot steep! Sorry, it may look nice, but IMO not worth the $$$$.
Cheers,

Wow way to expensive , my leather laptop case witch is a whole lot bigger is cheaper than that, look else where my friend
They are happy with what they got and wanted to share. Hell I spent $72 on my leather oberon tree of life case. I couldn't be happier. To each their own.
I picked this one up:
bestbuy(dot)com/site/M-Edge+Accessories+-+Latitude+Jacket+for+nook+-+Red/9834665.p;jsessionid=97939E1F902D70FE5B49EE09DD9FC275.bbolsp-app06-29?id=1218181017432&skuId=9834665&st=m-edge&cp=1&lp=14\
sorry not able to post links yet - change dot to .
works great. Protects, has a lil room in the top zipper pocket for SD cards, stylus, data cable, etc. Does fit the charging block too, but it's a tiiiight fit and kinda puts pressure where the screen is inside so i'm weary about loading it in there.
Looks nicer than the one above too They have a black, a blue and another. They had a really nice green one on the m-edge site (Android anyone?) but I can't seem to find them in retail stores or online.
Got the blue one online from m-edge after seeing the original nook one at best buy. Love it.
Nook vs NC version
I've read that the NC can fit into the Nook version of the Latitude Jacket, but note that the NC version has a built-in bracket that the NC snaps into to hold it tight.

I tried this. I don't recommend it. The one I got from best buy when i was under the impression the nook and nook color were the same size gave me some issues.
1) leather loop corners (no idea how to describe these) to hold it in. Not a snug fit
2) The corner on the top left made direct contact with the power button as it went over the nook. It turned on several times on me.
thanks for the info
I am currently using Jack Spade case however, a lot of Nook (not Color) case fit streak pretty nice. a modification may be required but I am using without any modification because I am not using the main camera.
Especially the power is cover and the bottom touch keys are bit cover but if you get used to fiddle around here and there you can really use these nice cases. Most of designer nook cases are on sale also!!! so go down to your close by B&N and try them out.
*WARNING
Do NOT compare NOOK Color its screen. It will just give you big disappointment. Just happy w/ the case selection.
This will really is a good alternative
1. if you don't use the main too often.
2. if you like fancy cases like me.
3. if you don't mind taking the device out of its case time to time like me(which is super easy because i'm only using one side of elastic band

P.S: I think archos 7 Internet Tablet cases are a go too... ordered a A7 leather sleeve and will report later...
Nook Case fits DS7
i bought a nook case (not nook color case) and it fits dell perfectly fine. I can even fit the DS7 in such a way that to charge the ds7 i don't have to remove it. ie exposing the charging slot outward.

I will do that after I go home. The older nook case was selling 50% off at BN store. i paid 15.34 for it.
here is the link tothe product
gifts.barnesandnoble.com/Sinclair-Cover-in-Night/e/9781615598816/?cds2Pid=37684
place the DS7 in such a way that power button will be at top left corner. That will place charging slot facing ouside and head phone at the bottom. I think the headphone jack is 90% visible but I don't use headjack.
Just purchased and received the Poetic Slimline case for the Nook HD. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-SLIMLI...804667&sr=8-2&keywords=nook+hd+7"+poetic+case
Currently the case is just $6.95 with free shipping. Current as of 2/13/2013
The case has has a plastic base that clips on over the body of the Nook HD. This helps to make the fit very snug while adding very little to the depth of the device. There are cut outs for the volume rocker, headphone jack and for the power button. The bottom of the case is left mostly open for access to the micro sdcard, proprietary port and the LED light hole. There are also two holes for the speakers on the back.
The plastic case is covered with a faux leather type material. This allows for a relatively tacky area so the device will not slip out of your hand. This material also covers the front of the device protecting the screen of the Nook HD. On the inside of the front cover is a soft velvet like material that is nice and soft preventing scratches on the screen. The front cover can also be tri-folded behind the device to act as a stand for the tablet. This occurs in landscape mode allowing for a decent angle to watch movies or other videos. It does not provide any support in the portrait mode though so it will not help with reading books.
The front cover clicks in to place with the back plastic via magnets. This helps to secure the cover so that it does not flop open. It also provides for a way to turn your Nook HD on and off when opening or closing the case. This is a great feature that will actually bypass the normal lock screen so that when you finish opening the case your device is on and ready to go. However, if you enable the password lock screen then you will still need to unlock and then type in your code.
This case comes with a 3 year warranty from Poetic which is very unusual for cases but is a great feature to have.
One con I found in this device after its arrival was that there were some threads coming out from between the two material types on the front cover of the case. This were easily clipped to make things look better but it does take away from the idea of the case being of top quality. My only other concern is how well the materials will hold up while using the front cover as a stand. If used very frequently it could lead to cracking of the front cover. However, I will only be able to tell that over time and not for the day that I have had the case so far.
So far I am very impressed with the Poetic Slimline case for the Nook HD. I recommend anyone looking for a nice slim case to pick one up.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Some more pictures in post # 4.

Looks really good. Thanks for the pics!
I liked the ceiling design and lighting
This looks great. Exactly what i have been looking for on HD+. this is avilable also for HD+ at $8.95.
Poetic likes to throw out introductory prices and then increase it once it gets popular, so i would order now it you want one, even if it is not available for another 1-2 weeks, for the prices may increase by then.

Better that than me in the picture.
Did i forgot mention you?!? I know why ... I just dont like any case on mob/tab and etc devices. Only acceptable are film skins which ones give a sense of the real item.
Questions: I had a Poetic portfolio case, had one dumb thing, pen holder on the back surface. Is there one on this? Also, I like to be able to stand it up in portrait mode for reading, but I think this one only stands in landscape, right?
Thanks

There is nothing on the back. So no worries there.
This case is not designed for portrait use. It might stand straight up in portrait but it won't be very stable and there is no way to change the angle.

Far and away the best commercial case I've had for a tablet flavored device. And half the cost of the nearest competitor in the
'decent case' catetory, and that one was for a 5" Samsung media player.
I get the impression that these are from a maker who also makes iPad cases and uses many of the same materials. The front has three
longitudinal strips of material - but the third is narrower than the first two. I'll compare it to a smart cover tomorrow - my memory is
that that cover has three bands of equal-breadth material on the front
The fit in the rear is good as delivered, but may start to loosen up over time, and doesn't have a cutout to match the grommet
in the corner. I may add a cutout (I have a grommet setter for fabric) and then use a shoelace or similar to fasten down the back
on that side. That could also get me a loop for a stylus, which would be useful to me. The fit across the front is a little too
long and a little too wide, which will annoy me over time or I may get used to it.
The cover activates the wake from sleep in CM10. The device sleeps itself after a minute by default, which is fine with me.
All in all, 8 out of 10.

I knew prices would go up. It is now $19 for hd+ and $17 for HD. Those who got in at intro price got themselves a great case (myself included). It is exactly what i have been loking for.

Glad I got it when I did then.
As long as you're OK with black, those are still at 8.95.

i think i got the last 8.95 one as after i ordered, the price jumped to 12.95. maybe it's back down now, haven't checked.
anyway after about a week of use, i like the case for the price but have some minor quibbles. the case is a bit creased/folded on the edges when it shipped, so it doesn't perfectly conform to the shape of the HD+. maybe over time it will smooth out.
the stand notch is not very solid and i've had it slip when i'm moving around, not sure if that's standard for case stands. also the "hand strap" is kind of hard to pull out, but i mostly use it in landscape mode so not a big deal.
like i said not a big deal especially for the price, but not a perfect case.

I think we're talking different covers here. I thnk your cover is the "Poetic slimbook", not the "Slimline". Still good to hear you views on it!

Thanks for the tip. Now $15 for the black HD+ one on Amazon. Still a decent price :cyclops:
Anyone has a hint how to order Poetic to a Europe country other than UK at a low price?
I can order at amazon.co.uk for 20GBP + 6GBP shipping (= 40 USD) which seems a bit high compared to 6 GBP price on UK Ebay (but from where I can't get it shipped to Slovenia).
I have just ordered a purple XZ today to be delivered in early March. I chose purple because it looks great and is less prone to fingerprints than the black which I originally wanted to buy. The white one also looks good if the front is all white.
Just wonder what color other members here have chosen, bought or will choose.
p.s. I think I have a good deal with the new phone, it comes with free charging dock, HDMI cable, screen protector, 8G memory card, notebook style protective cover and external battery pack.

Well on Amazon.com I found this link http://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-GALAX...8&qid=1380070156&sr=8-11&keywords=Galaxy+Gear that has all (6) color options available for pre-order of course they are charging above retail. But I recall someone was looking for "Rose Gold" and they have it listed.

If the Gear is ordered from Phones4u in the UK with the "£100 discount when ordered with a Note 3 Deal", you only get the watch in Black. No other colors available.
I wanted Rose Gold and was diss appointed when I learned I must have a black one, unsure if my post was the one you are talking about
Sometimes fashion choices come at higher prices but it you want Pink Gold you can get it, just a higher price
I think anything other than the color we both pre-ordered is gonna be a bit much. Black will hide its bulky appearance while keeping it classy. I wouldn't mind taking it out to the golf course with me or wearing it to work. Now the brighter colors draw too much attention and define the lines to the point the bulky appearance stands out.

Basic black always goes well, I always get phones in black, cases for them always used to be in black (it was my stealth method from hiding my very frequent device changes form my wife) but now I use colored cases.
But on a watch black is always nice.
I was confused between mocha grey and black but later confirmed on the black.
