Don't mean to sound trite, but how do you carry around any other book without pockets or a bag?
I think at minimum a small net book case with a strap would work.

How do you guys carry it around when you don't carry a bag or there is no big pocket on your jacket?

Anyone know of a good cover or skin to go over the NC. I want something slow to my "Body Glove", I have on my HTC Evo or some fake leather type cover. Seen some rubber ones but looking for better.

Does anyone know if there is anyone making the tpu cases yet for the nook color? I have many in many colors for my evo and would love some for my second baby!

They sell cases for Kindle @ SF Bags. I have bought 4 of their cases for different electronics in the past and they are made incredibly well. I am waiting for the Kindle 3 travel case to show up so I can use it for the NC.

The Samsung skin may not fit then. Maybe I'll try it if a store around me has one.

I'm not sure which car charger to get but I know I will need one at some point.

Amazon.com: Nook Color 2-in-1 Sync & Charge USB Travel Kit (USB Cable & Car Adapter): Cell Phones & Accessories

Amazon.com: Nook Color Car Charger: Cell Phones & Accessories

Just a word of warning, I wanted a car charger so brought this:
Amazon.com: 3-in-1 Synch & Charge USB Travel Kit for Barnes & Noble Nook Color: Cell Phones & Accessories (similar to the 2-in-1 posted by rico2001 above).
The cable is not NC compatible even though it says it's for the NC. The cable that came with the NC works ok with the car adapter and the plug-in adapter but the cable is just a std USB to micro USB cable.

I'm going the other way - I want a hard case with a mag closure, but I am unwilling to pay what's being asked for such a case.

Initially I made one from a notebook that was almost exactly the dimension of the nook. The problem was that retaining the nook in it didn't work (I didn't a clear understanding of how to make the loops I saw in the post above.)

Over the weekend, I picked up a hardbound sketchbook at Blick (meaning, great binding for not much more than I paid for the crummy Walgreens notebook) and gutted it. I used wood glue and small dowels to build a lip at the edge of the covers, and a drill to drill out room for a magnetic in one of them. I need to get a slightly larger sketchbook and redo the shell, but so far I'm very pleased - I actually like the completely passive restraint provided by the lip.

For magnets, I tore down the nook box - it comes with four very nice small magnets in it.

Rev 3 may include both the lip and a couple of loops of elastic ribbon glued down. I'm tempted to cut through the cover with a utility knife and thread the ribbon through, then glue it to the back cover (and coat the back with a rubber mat) to keep the ribbon from getting pulled directly.

Post a pic, we would love to see it!

Anyone buy a car charger for the NC yet or any recommendations for a one under $10?

I think I've decided to use a sleeve and a skin instead of an always-on cover. I've seen a few posts here about the sleeves, but not much about skins. There are a million of them on Amazon (like those shown above), but I wondered how protective they were.

I'm thinking of making a sleeve out of some quilted fabric I have. I wouldn't think it'd be too hard.

I'm also thinking about a screen protector to guard against scratches and to cut down on the reflectivity a bit (for daylight reading). I've had one on my Droid and Droid X since day one, and I'm glad I did as both protectors show scratches. Any good SP suggestions?
