    Turns the Nook into a nice Hardcover Book

    No issues with this cover at all! It makes the Nook like a Hardcover Book. Nook fits nice and snug. Do not have to remove Nook to recharge.

    Beautiful and Sturdy

    I received this cover as a gift and I am very happy with it. I absolutely
    love the virant color and sturdiness of the feel. My nook is always in
    this cover and I feel confident that it will always securely hold it in.
    Never have to take it out even to charge it. It feels exactly like a book
    and yet easy to carry in my purse. Very impressed with the quality of the
    materials used.

    Too Much of a Good Thing

    This cover is sturdy and well made. It doesn't seem heavy by itself but adds just enough weight to the Nook so that I am now stuffing an estra pound into my purse. Worse, it adds over 1/2 inch to both length and width while doubling the thickness of the Nook. It's okay for around the house but will be a problem when I am travelling. Will wait to check out choices at my local bookstore next time, and hope the prices all go down. As it is this is not worth the cost.

    Bronte Cover in Turquoise

    I looked at all the covers, could not make up my mind; so signed out and went back another day. I kept going to the Turquoise Bronte cover. It has a place for a favorite picture or saying and it looks lively and smart. So,I finally purchased it.
    I now change my pictures weekly and sometimes during the week, I insert a favorite quote; especially if I need the boost to make it through the week.
    There are numerous covers for my "Good Times" eReader and I would like to have one for each day of the week! Wow!
    Another suggestion I took from another reader is to get out the arts and crafts and personalize the entire cover. I am still working on that one!
    Everyone comments on my NOOK when I am at work reading. I have to stop and show them just what it can do and they are really impressed with the eReader and the functions; especially the new ones.

    Keep up the good work, B&N!

    LOVE IT!!!

    This is a great cover! I was a little hesitant, but after receiving it and adding my own photo I have to say that I am very happy I purchased this cover. It will keep my nook protected, while still looking stylish. The cover is heavy enough to stay shut and stay open. I highly recommend this cover!!

    Photo Front is Fun!

    I love the way this product hugs and protects my Nook. I'm not worried about just tossing my Nook in my purse on my way out the door in the mornings. This case keeps other things in my bag from scratching my e-reader and the color is quite startling. I love it! Also, I don't want to advertise that I have a $260 e-reader in my bag, so it also disguises my Nook to look just like a book.

    Pretty Protector

    I chose this Nook cover mainly for the color and the fact that it has a space to insert a picture. Although I would have liked an inner pocket like some other covers feature to keep notes and what-not, the picture feature was more important to me.

    I was a little skeptical that this would not be nearly as durable as I would hope for and expect in one of the more expensive, leather covers but since I love animals and refuse to buy anything made of leather I chose this. I was happy to see that the cover was not damaged or scuffed up in the luggage during my recent vacation. I was also surprised at how securely the Nook is housed inside the cover once it's placed in the molded frame and elasticized straps. Very nice fit.

    Bronte cover in Turquoise

    really like the cover; pretty sturdy, and a very stylish color. Like the feature that lets you fold back the cover like a book stand. And if you buy the light accessory to clip on it works great and doesn't create any blockage to the screen. The only dislike is that this item was not available in stores and when I ordered online they were out of stock for months and my pre-order was even cancelled and customer service said it probably would not be available because of the numerous back ourders. I kept checking back and finally I tried again online and was successful.
    My nook was not protected with a cover for almost 4 months. Very frustrating that accessories were not made readily available to Nook owners.

    Bright color brightens my day!

    I have had my cover for a few weeks now and I love it! This was not my first choice, but due to back order issues I "settled" for this one. When it arrived I found that it was a great choice. The color is bright and cheerful. I love the ability to personalize it with a picture. It gives me the versatility to modify my nook cover with out buying a new one. I get great comments about how nice it looks all the time.

    The nook fits securely in place. It has never felt unsecure. Even when my daughter dropped it, the nook stayed snuggly, protected inside. The controls are easy to reach and are not affected by the case. I have not taken my nook out of the case since I put it in! It is easy to clean with a damp cloth.

    The only thing I wish this case had, is a pocket. Other than that, I am fully satisfied with this choice!

    Worth the money

    I was looking for a good, sturdy cover for my nook and this caught my eye. Nice, light weight and gets the job done. I love the bright color and that you can change out the photo in the front. There is a nice opening on the bottom so you can charge your nook without having to take it out of the case every time which makes it very easy to use. No complaints so far!

    Almost 5 Stars

    LOVE the look and feel of this cover! Adds just enough weight to make my Nook feel more like a book. I can bend the cover back all the way when I'm snuggled in bed or hold it open like a real book. The color is great and I love that I can add a picture.
    My only wish is that it had a pocket - even better put a book light it in! :)

    Sturdy and Stylish Cover

    I purchased this cover for my Nook as a source of protection from daily handling and possible accidents. I am known for being hard on electronics so I wanted to make sure my newest investment was protected from my roughness. I have had it for approx. 2 weeks and has worked wonderfully. The Nook sits securly in the pocket with no possibility of slipping out. The cover is sturdy and doesnt seem to mind when I bend the front cover behind the back while reading. Overall the cover looks and functions exactly as I hoped it would. I would recommend it to anyone who wants extra protection!

    Gorgeous & Functional!

    Ever since I first saw this cover on the B&N website, I've wanted to own it! The bright turquoise color is so wonderfully eye-catching! I also love that its cut-out window allows you to insert your own photo (which adds that touch of personalization). The cover appears very durable, so I expect to have it for a long time. My only quibble with it is that I'm afraid it will get dirty before long - what with the smudges of my fingerprints from constant use! This cover is a timeless classic!

    Easy to carry, good protection

    I like the cover I purchased for my nook. It provides good protection for my nook, is easy to handle and is attractive. It is always easy to find in the house as well, as I have a tendency to leave books all around the place--this one I can find. I am told it is also easy to clean, fortunately I have had no spills so far.

    The one area for improvement would be the picture holder. I had a heck of a time getting a photo in there. It took much wrangling to do so, the slot is too tight. Now that I have one in, I won't be changing it any time soon.

    Bronte Nook Cover in Turquoise - looks great

    I am giving it 4 stars rather than 5 only because I'm concerned it will begin to look dirty in time. Right now it's very pretty and I love the pocket that allows me to insert a favorite photo. The cover fits well and doesn't interfere with any of the functions. The cover bends all the way back so holding it while reading is very comfortable. Closed the cover protects the screen from scratches. The Lyra Light attaches easily and provides the perfect light for reading at night. Of all the cover options, I'm very happy with this one.

    love it!

    the color is absolutely fabulous! it's well constructed and looks awesome! it is easy to slide into a purse and keeps my nook protected. i love it because i can use it on the train with ease. i just pull out my nook, fold back the top cover and i'm in reading heaven! it's simple but functional. i have my nook in a silicon sleeve and was able to get it into this cover. it's not a perfect fit and took a little to get it situated, but i can access the USB port easily and it stays in place, offering extra protection from dirt on the navigation buttons and other objects in my purse. the cover functions perfectly without my silicon sleeve as well.

    I lov the Turquoise Bronte Cover

    This cover wasn't my first choice, but it turned out to be better than I expected. I love that I can put a picture of my girls in it to help personalize it. I also love the color. It's very easy to find in my bottomless pit of a purse.

    Looks great, feels great...

    Does what it promises and looks really good. I purchased a clip on light for my nook and was able to accomodate the clip on this cover. Makes my nook look like a real book when laying on the counter.
