I just bought a new charger at B&N 2 days ago. Now I got the same problem I had with they one before, too long to explain.Buttom line I need another one. Anybody knows where to get one that can charge my nook in 2hours like the original B&N but for less than $25.?

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?

this is the skin I just put on my NC

Its really well made...the vinyl is thick enough to offer protection.

(The matching wallpaper doesn't work well though...it is sized incorrectly, and even after running it through photoshop it doesn't look right...oh well, didn't buy this skin for the wallpaper anyway.)

I also picked up the case I posted earlier...unzip it enough to slide the NC in and out, with a front zippered pocket to carry cable, thumb drive, etc.

@darmeen Regarding the case you bought, do you think it would be large enough to comfortably fit the NC when its housed inside of one of the "book" covers from BN? Or is it so thin that it will it only fit a standalone NC? I like the outside pocket for the charger.

Does a skin peel off easily if one wants to remove it?

B&N offers two screen protectors one regualr and one anti-glare. I ordered the regular along with my Nook and so far so good. Even though the glass on the Nook is pretty tough I like the extra protection offered by the SP.

Does it get dirty as fast as the screen or it's better. ...easy to clean?

I got the non glare and it's great. Feels a little different, but I noticed it doesn't seem to gather the finger prints as fast as the glass alone does. So that makes me happier.
Of course after I bought the NC I have taken to washing my hands more to get rid of excess oils from my fingertips or using alcohol wipes to do the same.

I wouldn't say that is keeps the screen any cleaner but you don't have as much fear of wiping it with whatever you happend to have handy, napkins, paper towel, jeans... if you scratch it no big deal. It also comes with a second screen protector but short of cleaning with sand paper I am not sure I'll have a need for it.

It pretty much is just room enough for the NC itself, but casecrown (the manufacturer) makes all kinds of these cases...so I imagine you could find one for a reader/tablet that was just a bit bigger, then you could use it with your NC w/book cover...

Its seem to peel off nicely once you get it going, and doesn't leave an adhesive residue from what I could tell (can you tell I didn't just rip the whole thing off to test your theory...I did test a corner though) :)

I guess that's good enough reason to buy it... .thank you

The InvisiShield for the Huawei S7 Fits great with a small trim using scissors or a paper cutter, just put mine on today. it enhances the screen if you believe that :)
