Nook Color accessories

Kymmmm · 12-11-2010, 07:29 PM

I have ordered a Nook color (after a year of dithering over ereaders!) and was wondering of those who have a nook color, what accessories did you feel are a necessity, what would be nice and what are a waste of time/money?

Also, if you live outside the US, any pointers to places that supply and ship internationally?

Cheers

I just got a Nook Color last night. I'd say getting a cover is pretty important. I got this one and like it:

And maybe some sort of screen protector. I'm trying a clear one right on my Nook Color right now. I use an anti-glare screen protector on my iPhone and I like it because I almost never have to wipe fingerprints off it. I almost went with one for my Nook, but then I decided to try a clear one because, at least in the case of my iPhone, the anti-glare protector impacts the clarity of the screen just a little bit.

So far the clear protector is working out well, though I have to angle the Nook so I don't see so many reflections in the screen.

I personally don't like the screen protector films, but a cover is a must. I love the Leather Writer's cover. http://gifts.barnesandnoble.com/Leat...?cds2Pid=35616

+1 on the covers

Yes, I visited there today but they won't ship internationally...might have to use USunlocked or something. Actually there wasn't much to choose from on the B&N site. Perhaps they are rushed for orders and need to restock?

Thanks

I'd definitely get a cover if you plan on taking it with you. I'd be very uncomfortable just dumping it in my bag and heading into the subway without one.

I too strongly recommend a good cover.

I first ordered the Luxury Label Cover (http://gifts.barnesandnoble.com/Luxu...?cds2Pid=35616). Although it is well constructed, it looks like very shiny patent leather (which is not evident from the product photos. This makes it a bit slippery to hold and it is a fingerprint magnet. Another drawback was the squared edges.

So I exchanged it for the Industriell Cover in Storm (http://gifts.barnesandnoble.com/Indu...?cds2Pid=35616). This one is charcoal gray, has a non-slip surface, doesn't show fingerprints as it has a matte finish, and it has rounded edges which make it look better and more closely resemble the NC itself which is rounded.

I bought this one off the shelf at Best Buy and love it. Has lots of nooks and crannies for notes, pen etc and folds over for good protection and makes a stand for reading. It fits perfect. You won't need a glarey little clip on light, so splurge and get a great case!!
