Skinomi TechSkin=WIN! - Nook Color Accessories

I just put a Skinomi TechSkin on my NookColor. I am really impressed with this product. I didn't use the screen protector that came with it because I use the anti-glare one from B&N, but the skin is really nice. I got the carbon fiber look and it has a great texture. It is a little tricky to install because of the cutouts for the Nook logos and since the screen is so big, it's a little tricky to keep everything in line, but it wasn't too bad. My install job isn't perfect, but it's pretty good. I would highly recommend this product. It comes with pieces for the edges too, but I just don/t feel like they'll stay put, so I didn't install them. I might give it a try though since that is where damage is most likely. I got mine from Amazon for $23 shipped.

do you have a link to the skin?

Nice! Just put the same one on mines, looks AWEOME!! Ill check that screen protector out, didnt like the one they shipped. I didnt do the edges either, I used the edge strips on my stylus lol. Definitely feels "grippier" with the skin on, and it fits nicely (especially around the n logos).

Are most people using this skin for the Nook?
I just got my Nook a couple weeks ago with the CrazyOnDigital Black Leather Case. The only problem is the nook slides around alot in it which will put some wear/tear on the device.
Will the nook still fit in the case nicely with the Skin on it?
Are there other options out there?

There are some silicone wraps out there, but those might add too much bulk. I have the Roocase, not the CrazyOnDigital one, but it fits fairly snugly so I'm not sure how much padding you'd need.

Very Cool Hard Case

I ordered this on ebay after watching the video on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9RaUUN1Pgh4
I have to say I'm pretty impressed with it. Very unique design. It's hard, and rubberized to so you can keep a good grip on it.
It's not cheap, I paid about 60 bucks USD for it. Check it out, you guys might like it., I know I do!
Cheers!
Thank you for that! Bit bulky, but has cool features. Please give us an update when it arrives.
Same here. Too bulky and cheaplooking for my taste.

Did look at one like that but I thought it was a bit bulky too. Like the hard front cover for bag protection though.
Using this one on mine with a screen protector and a slip case, for bag protection
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-GEL-CAS..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item2c58e50d25
It is excellent quality and offers good bump and scratch protection. It does not increase the footprint much and has a nice lip on the edge to give you a good purchase on the tab while holding it.
Cut outs for ports and buttons are spot on and have enough room around them for a the cables to attach correctly (others do not!)
For the price I am very pleased.
Love the kickstand.

I bought the 2nd case for my Galaxy TAB and it's exactly the same case like yours except with white side.
It's cheap but it's good.
The case posted by Big_Totoro is good but, kinda worried the front lid with standing stoppers
which might eventually create marking or scratches on Galaxy TAB screen.
I'm using Incipio Silicrylic with kickstand. It is very nice and rugged. The kickstand kind of sucks but I contacted Incipio and they are going to work something out. Kickstand aside, the case is nice and heavy duty without adding much bulk.
I ordered this case in black just over a week ago and it arrived today. Brilliant fit, barely adds any weight while the device feels fully supported. The different prop positions are also great. My only concern was that it wouldnt fold back on itself to allow good usage one handed, but it a actually folds back on itself really well.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Got mine
It isn't really very bulky. compared to a 3mm rubber skin yeah it is, but that isn't going to give you any protection anyhow
The rubberized outside is very grippy. Easy to hold in one hand without the fear of slippage.
The "stand" parts don't contact the screen at all when closed. It might if you have pressure applied to it, but again, it is soft rubberized finish on those stant peices as well on the inside.
The fit is brilliant. Leaving all the external buttons accessible. The front cover folds back easily, and don't fold over on itself at all.
It feels very sturdy and rugged. Not cheap feeling at all.
Just goin to touch on the "bulkiness" topic again briefly. Most leather or PU leather cases I have looked at at alot bulker than this case. While that MAY off a little more padding, I have noticed that most of those leather cases, the clasp interfers with the view of the screen.
Just my 2 cents
Cheers guys!
Thank you. I haven't found a retailer in Europe though. I hope this will change.

The first peice of accessories for my Tab looks wonderfull I like it , price is fair
Got the same hard case in black, OP said rubberized finish, though mine is more like a textured finish, not sure if there are 2 types?
looks a little plasticy?

Yes, certainly not what I would call rubbery or soft-touch. I haven't heard back from the seller yet.
Mine is Black as well. I guess we have a difference of opinion on what rubbery feel is
Its hard plastic with a rubberized coating. I dont know how else to explain it. Its not silicon rubbery or so rubbery that it would rub away.
Its not squishy, but its definatly not slippery. So there is a ruberized coating on it.

just got my GT for a week, i saw this case on "yeebay"
will order one during or after the xmas/NY holiday, so i'll receive it as soon as the post office people start working.
Just an update, it turns out that there are 2 versions - the GLARE is not rubberized. I bought this for ~$40 from the seller. According to the seller, this cost less than the rubberized and it made sense cause he is selling the "other" version for ~$60. But when I went back & look at the item # I bought from (he still has units selling under the same item #), the price has gone up to ~$60.
I think the case is fine as is and will not spend return shipping & extra $60 to get the rubberized finish, just put that towards a leather case instaed.
Hi Big_Totoro,
How did you find it at Ebay? I've no idea how it is called or who build it (Manufactor). I was not able to find it anywhere in the web. Can you give me a hint?
Merry Christmas to all people out there!
I bought one of these too and absolutely love it. The fit is perfect, the ergonomics are fantastic (someone has spent a lot of time thinking about how this will be used so it supports all positions), it provides great protection, and the rubberised surface feels great.
I reckon this is the best case I have bought for any device- most useful, and if anything the device feels smaller to me in the case- an illusion obviously, but a testament to the quality of it.
I bought a few cases for my tab, but this is the only one that I will be using

[Q] Anyone tried the silicone cases?

It looks like the silicone cases are now available at B&N.com.
Does anyone have one of these? How is it? Specifically, how "tight" does it fit?
I've had silicone cases for other devices that were a little loose and it was really annoying...
thanks
I have the black/dark gray one. It fits pretty snug around the whole unit. I would recommend it until otterbox comes out.
I have the blue one and it fits great.
Yeah I got the black one and its awesome.
I have one and not a fan. I hate silicon cases but can't find anything else that's not so bulky. The fit is good but mine bubbles around the bezel a little.
Just got my storm color silicone case and over all it is great. I prefer TPU cases myself but this is all that is being offerd right now. Fit is pretty tight but it bubbles on the side edge which is typical with silicone cases.I guess it is better than nothing.

Me too. I love tpu cases... hopefully one comes out soon.
Here's another vote for the silicon case. It is lightweight and snug, has a nicely 'grippy' texture, and hides the slight creakiness of the NC's casing.
Due to that grippy nature, it only reluctantly slides into the soft recesses of my timbuk2 case, though.
TPU does sound like interesting stuff, judging from this review of a $5 HTC Ego TPU case and the wikipedia page on thermoplastic polyurethanes.
Any updates on these silicon skins? I want something lighter than a case.
I got this one.
I love the grippy-ness, and no longer having to worry about the nook sliding around in the car or off the couch, or having to worry about scuffing it up.
Overall it's a pretty decent fit; the opening on the bottom edge of the screen isn't perfect, but it's not bad, and certainly not enough to remove it or look for something else.
Oh, and it smelled like complete and utter azz for the first day or so, but the smell has completely dissipated since then.
Edit: finally got around to adding a bit of double-sided tape around the inside lip of the silicone cover... now it's a nice, tight, perfect fit. =)
I got that one as well. I love it. It did smell pretty damn bad the first day
Got the Storm one from B&N and love it. Just what I needed. Had the book style and like this one much better. Very convenient.
I have a blue one, just got it last week. I like it a lot and for all the reasons listed- it doesn't slide around, I can hold it in my hand without fear of dropping it, it is snug, it looks nice
They told me at the store that the NC + the silicone case would not fit in a case/cover/book. So I bought a neoprene case. I really like the combination. It fits snuggly inside the neoprene case with the silicone cover on.
I haven't found the *perfect* cover/book for - I've tried several and just can not decide. Until I find something, I like the combo I have now. I realize I might have to take the silicone case off in order for th NC to fit in a regular case, but I don't mind having a few accessories around that serve different purposes.
i too have a B&N black silicone case and love it. Fits perfectly (with the usual slight rising along the screen edges). Bought the neoprene ($20 one) case for it but returned it because i felt like it was too tight and sometimes it pulled on the silicone sleeve. Instead, i went over to best buy and purchased their multi-purpose neoprene case. The dimensions are slightly bigger than the B&N case so it fits perfectly with a good amount of snugg-ness/tightness and there is room to add a microfiber cloth in there too. picked it up for $20 also. It is from Rocketfish and i am very happy with it!

Trident Aegis Case for Nook Color for 23.99

Just bought my Trident Aegis Case for Nook Color for $23.99 free shipping from http://www.meritline.com/newsearch.aspx?SearchTerm=nook+color . If anybody wants it, it is still available. Pretty decent case.
I'll second the notion that it's a good case, and it's normally between $35 and $40 I believe, so that's a good deal. The only issue I have with it is that it's so good and accessible I never want to remove my Nook from it, yet it won't quite fit in the Aalto case I bought. It kind of does, but it's incredibly hard to get it in, and I have to use pliers to get the zipper open again. I'm hoping it will stretch the Aalto enough to make it easy in, easy out eventually, but I'm not sure it will happen.
Just ordered one cant wait for it to come in. It looks amazing!!
Looks nice. Might get this to replace my current one. Thanks for the post!

It didn't seem to happen at all, and definitely not before I broke the zipper tab off. Anyone know of a good case that will protect the screen etc with the Aegis left on?

I'd like to request invocation of Rule 34 at this time... lol
Just got mine. I'm totally satisfied with it quality wise but I have two small issues.
- Does your hinge to access the microSD slot ever lie flush with the rest of the case or am I doing something wrong?
- I messed up the screen protector a bit, actually throwing out the protector itself and tried to apply the plastic. When i realized what happened, the actual protector was covered in small specks of dust. You think they'll send me a new one if I ask nicely?
FYI... I have the AEGIS case and like it a lot.
I ordered the following zipper carrying case from Amazon and for $5.50 shippped it works well. It is the Belkin Neoprene Kindle Case.
Search on item: B001NPDA44
With the AEGIS Case on, in the Belkin Zipper Case, side to side it probably has 1/4" of slack, up and down is pretty tight, but finessing the neoprene a bit, it is fairly easy to zip up.
Plus Zagg -Maybe
Applied the;
Zagg Invisible Shield - Nook Color Skin
Full Body Maximum Coverage - $ 29.99.
I did this with the intention of wrapping the Trident around it.
Man am I disipointed in the Zagg. It peels off in 7 differant pieces. One being a super thin strip around the case that I ended up tossing aside, as useless. Even with that in use; there would be no seal from screen to case which is why i wanted the darn thing in the first place.
There are a couple good points and i will detail them in a seperate review thread having already talked to customer service at Zagg in the morning. BUT the real kicker?!?!
After I spent an hour installing the thing to the very best I could, and booting up for a look see; I found a slice 3/4 of the way accross the entire face of the protector, about 1/5 of the way down from the top. I examined under 10x. Yep. Factory flaw.
The Zagg is not invisible at all. It has a wavy surface texture, that to my eyes makes the text no longer pop. Any plastic screen cover will resist smears in comparison to glass as glass is porous.
I will try the Aegis Trident's included screen protector and pop for a three year (accidental damage included) warranty through SquareTrade and call it done; returning the Zagg for a refund.
anybody know how to clean the colored back? its starting to get a bit off color, especially on the little ridges
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk
I just cleaned the whole front and back of my Nook Color after peeling off a Zagg kit.
I sculpt so I use all manor of solvents. But that doesn't mean I know best, but for me this is my common procedure.
Unit turned off, laying on a soft surface. I used these microfiber cloths, been using them for years.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Rasco-Cleaning-...ltDomain_0&hash=item4a906936bf#ht_3420wt_1179
Lay that flat, then the Nook, Then a cut off piece of the microfiber cloth and dab with
99% isopropyl alcohol clear. Not 70% so the water evaporates quicker. $4 bucks a bottle instead of $1 but worth it to my mind.
Clean an area and re dampen cloth as necessarily, the cloth will dry every 15 seconds or so.. Very effective.
If cleaning screen and find a stubburn spot, gently use fingernail and or a little saliva on the finger. Redo surface with the alcohol.
Finally finish with clean dry cloth as the chemical leaves a slight film that is easily rubbed off.
Let the device sit and dry for 10 minutes. Wait an hour if you used 70% instead of 99% alcohol.
And you are good to go.

[Q] Thinnest Case?

Hi,
I am looking for a case that adds minimal bulk to the device. I would prefer something with a soft-touch finish, but not necessarily silicone.
So far, I have looked at the Seidio Surface, the SGP Ultra Silke, and the Rearth Ringke.
Does anyone know from experience which of these cases is thinnest?
Also, has anyone found other cases that will retain the slimness of the phone?
Thanks.
I dont know from experience but from reading these forums the incipio feather case maybe be the slimmest. Its hard case that snaps on but doesnt cover the top or bottom of the phone. I do got the Rearth Ringke which is awesome. The fit is great.

Thanks for the reply. Is the Rearth Ringke relatively slim as well?
Also interested in a slim case.
Its really not that bad. The fit is great and the texture it has is a nice touch. It has enough grip to keep it from slipping but slippery enough to keep lent and fingerprints off.

^That's good to know.
Does anyone else have any suggestions for slim cases?
you could get these if you would consider a skin http://www.adreama.com/products/mobile-phone-skins/samsung/nexus-s
they're pretty damn thin, give good grip, protects the outside of your phone from scratches, and you get two so you can pick which color you prefer
I wish case mate would make a barely there case. There seems to be a huge demand for it.
incipio case quite slim, soft, and sexy.. the only drawback is it's quite fragile. my friend bought it awhile ago, he had SOD (sleep of death) many times using netarchy kernel and he had to remove the case to remove the battery. after a few remove, the case start to get loose and finally the case gave up and broke..

This seems interesting. I have found several cases identical to this on eBay for as little as $3 (like this andthis).
The material seems different than other TPU cases, and is just what I am looking for. Anyone else have a case similar to this (TPU, but with matte-finish rubberized rear)?

that second one looks just like the black one that you get in the two pack I posted. I actually think that the black one looks really bad with a black phone, but that's just my opinion.
I have the incipio feather case (black) and love it. Soft touch, great grip, and best of all no fingerprints. Not a tacky rubberized feel that sticks to everything (lint, hair). There is a little space at the top and bottom that isn't covered (bottom for port access) but it looks great. very slim. I bought the standard black case that best but had available on launch day and the crappy rubbery screen protector. Couldn't stand either one and dug out my g1 sleeve cover.
Bought the incipio because I hate the slick back of the phone. Been using it ever since.
I would disagree that it is fragile. I take it off and put it back on at least once a week and haven't had any loosening or breakage (after several months of use). Thing is still rock solid and fits perfectly snug.
hopefully this is helpful.
edit: although it is very thin and adds very little bulk, it is noticeable. With the case on, my phone no longer fits in my g1 sleeve and this makes me kind-of a sad panda.

How is your overall experience with the two-pack case that you posted? Does it add too much bulk to the device, or attract dust/lint?

Thanks so much for the detailed review. I appreciate the input.
The Feather seems to be a promising alternative to the other cases, mainly because I love the soft touch finish.

I actually think that the phone fits better in my hand with the case on. i'm not worried that i'm going to snap it in half on accident and it's only the tiniest bit bulkier than it normally would be.
I seem to notice little hairs and stuff accumulating right where the case stops, but it's easy enough to either wipe them off without removing the case or to just pull the case off and clean around the edges. overall, I think it's a great case. I added some before and after pictures so you could see how little bulk there is.
I also have the Incipio Feather Case and agree with discussion above. Actually have 2 for 2 phones.
Black is matte finish. Teal is not, but its not a hard, shiny plastic feel. I really like it, questioned buying but so tired of black (their other colors are
very bright, way too much for a mother of 3).
I was looking for the thinnest case possible and feel this is it.
The top and bottom is open so won't protect there, but has the corners.
The thing I love the most is the grip, felt the phone was too slick and just
waiting to drop. This solved that. I do not feel it is fragile, don't take off
that much, but have no problems using fingernail. It is tight, but that is good.
Would highly recommend. And if shopping on Ebay, there are some for $20
shipped. It states Nexus S (not specific for 4g, even on the box when you
receive it), but if it is Incipio, not knock off, it works.
sgp case is very good

Finally light weight protection

Doesn't look like there's a cutout for the SD card. Other than that, it might be nice.

If we talking about really light weight protection then only ones are film protectors.
Example
I use similar (only clear style at another seller) on my all items. Yes, they are not cheap, but your item looks like original and same time protected. Also covered my phones. Only thing that i use anti-glare screen protectors.
I hate other covers because then i have on my hand some cheap piece plastic, not item itself.
But this is only opinion.

Has anyone used those ArmorSuits? I am looking to get a screen protector and thought that the caseen looked decent (saw them on another thread.
Any recommendations for a good screen protector?
About ArmorSuit i cant talk right now but i use Skinomi TechSkin on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and both phones. Wonderful! You can try to scratch it with nail with normal pressure. Yes you get scratch line but on next day its gone. Its not sticky or sleek. You feel your item very good and safe on hand(s).
I never used these screen protectors which ones was included on Skinomi TechSkin.
Screen protectors i used all time only anti-glare at PDair, EXiM and CitiGeeks. Bestest are still PDair ones (right now on both my phones). CitiGeeks anti-glare is right now on my Galaxy Tab. Yes i have some scratches on it and seems i need replace it soon, but its normal. No some anomaly with these screen protectors. All these you can remove any time, just wash with water and soap and attach back, if some corner started lift away.
For Nook HD+ i ordered Fosmon anti-glare. I hope they will be on place tomorrow and then i can say what kind of these are.
I got Fosmon anti-glare screen protector today. Applied. Like other screen protectors. All is OK. No anomalies and touch sensitivity is good. But ...
I placed my Samsung SGS2 with PDAir anti-glare screen protector, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with CitiGeeks anti-glare screen protector and Nook HD+ with Fosmon anti-glare screen protector to table. And surprise surprise ... guess what ... there huge difference on look. Best is PDAir screen protector, then comes CitiGeeks, then Fosmon. Actually this Fosmon feels under finger roughly. Cheap is cheap.
Later today, when i will be at home, i can place EXiM to this sequence too (its applied to my son laptop).
But anyway, this is only my opinion that makes this list and result that: "I'm not so rich to buy cheap things!"
I bought XtremeGuard LCD FULL BODY off ebay. 4 days with it and so far so good. It is a 2 piece clear product. Its a wet application which went on 99% perfect. There 2 specks of dust on my screen. It was my fault and the back went on perfectly. I don't want to add more weight unless someone makes a tight fitting flat matte slim cover.

I used caseen anti glare, decent but you could see some pixelation. Went on well, good color. I think since pixel density is so high on nook that some matte surfaces may not work so well. Have a b&n smooth saver on now, but a little sticky to my stylus...the search goes on

The caseen's are decent, but are a pain to put on (I am horrendously clumsy so always end up with some dust/misalignment/whatever). Will try the full body one recommended above.

I actually ordered for testing today XtremeGuard full body for my SGS2.
Find XtremeGuard on ebay and look their attached video. Whatever film or screen protector you use, you can apply it this way like on video. And i can say that everyone can do this and get later very good endless and look. Only thing is clean place where to do it.
Yes xtremeguard has an ebay store (I am not affiliated with them) which is cheaper than their online site. Bought the Nook HD+ full cover and iphone screen for my wife. My problem with all protective covers is I can't find a good place with no dust. Even tried the hot shower once, but the I have exhaust fans which I think spread more dust.
I hope someone finds/creates a tight rear cover soon. I'd def buy one.
