    Best NOOKcolor Cover Available!

    I can't tell you how much I love my new NOOKcolor! Having this amazing cover on it makes it that much more precious to me! It's very thin and lightweight, which helps because the device weighs over 15 ounces. The interior is very simple and almost the same color as the device, so it makes it easier to focus on the device and not be distracted by logos and things, which other covers have. I paid $85 for my Jack Spade cover in march for my NOOK 3G, and my new Leather Writer's Cover blows my Jack Spade cover away and at more than half the price! I give this cover an A+!

    The Best!!

    I have a Nook and now the Nookcolor. This is absolutely my most favorite of all the covers. It doesn't distract your attention when you are reading as the brighter colors do. It's perfect with the color of this Nook. Couldn't be happier with my purchase!

    The ONLY cover for the Nook Color!!!

    Great leather quality; great grip(due to slight indents of authors);light;durable;black interior compliments grey nook border. So you are getting a perfect cover that is 10 times better than the $80 designer ones. No brainer.

    I WIsh Other Colors of NOOK color covers had the same dark colored intereior!!

    I really love the interior color of this book cover, and I really wish that some of the colorful covers had the same dark interior, because I find it much more asthetically pleasing and comfortable to read off of. If you could put a dark interior on the other bright colored covers that would be awesome Barnes and Noble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Cover With Interest

    Perfect cover for your Nook Color. The plain black leather is tasteful and eye-catching with the authors' names all over it. It feels nice in your hands, and securely holds your Nook. The pockets are a bonus for extras like your microfiber cloth to keep your screen nice and clean.

    Elegantly modern

    Love this cover..leather is high quality and dark interior with pockets is handy for keeping business cards close. The brackets are much less distracting than the rail system on other covers and keep my nook secure. Love seeing some of my favorite authors every time I open it up. I'VE gotten lots of compliments from coworkers on this cover because of it's distinctiveness, which when they find out it's an ereader on the inside, leads to conversations about the nook color and ereaders in general. Have converted one Kindle owner once they saw some magazines in full color. The only (minor) complaint I have about the writer's cover is the spine...when it is bent backward for reading, the leather seems "wrinkled" a bit. Wonder if it will impact the life of cover? Time will tell. I imagine it will still last longer than the fabric covers if I keep it conditioned.

    Fantastic Cover

    I have found this cover to be extremely durable. It has protected my NOOKcolor from sticky cafe tables, freefall dives from a cluttered desk, and an overstuffed backpack, yet it continues to look great. The hand-feel of the textured leather is both pleasant and practical, and I could not do without the interior pockets to hold my cleaning cloth. The cover does add weight to the device, but the additional protection is well worth it. I use my NOOKcolor extensively, between 2 to 4 hours a day, and this cover has been a fantastic upgrade from my original purchase of a field canvas cover (finger-printed and stained within a week of heavy use). I have been extremely happy with my leather cover and highly recommend it. Look for the mis-spelling of two names, the mistake is rather charming on a product designed for book lovers.

    Love it!

    Bought this a month ago when I bought my nook color. I am a flight attendant so ALWAYS travel with my nook. It is in my purse constantly which is tossed around alot in the overhead bins of the planes. Sturdy. Easy to fold back and read with. Only thing that worried me was it had nothing to keep it closed while in my purse. Purchased a a thin elastic headband. Slip it over it to secure it while in my purse. While reading, I just slide it over the cover that I fold back. Works great! With a minor modification this is the BEST of covers and works for every situation! P.S.The thin elastic headbands come in a variety of colors so you brighten up the ocver if you want.

    Great Cover!!! Highly Recommend!!!

    I have had my cover since December and it is wonderful. My Nook fits perfect & it is very secure. I absolutely love the fact that it has pockets on the inside cover!!! I take my Nook everywhere and the cover protects wonderfully. I can charge it without taking the cover off, which is definetly a plus. My cover still looks brand new. No nicks or tears and the cover fits just like it did when I first purchased it. I am very happy with my choice. Very stylish & sturdy. Folds back easily while reading and it doesn't require any straps or snaps to stay closed. Well worth the price. I would definetly recommend. I guareentee you will not be dissappointed!!!!

    I Love It

    This is the only cover I've used so I can't compare it to any others, but it has been the perfect choice for me. Most importantly, it has been very durable. It still looks brand new! No scratches, no rips or tears or stains. I also like how soft and padded it is. It feels great in my hands. Finally, the debossed names make it look as cool and interesting as it is functional. I contemplated getting a brighter, more colorful cover but I'm glad I chose this one. I expect it to last a good long time.

    Best Cover

    This cover has the feel of quality and the looks that impress. The inside has the clips that securelyhold the Nook Color without the use of cheezy bands or straps. The leather exterior is excellent. The faux-suede interior (with pockets!) is soft to the touch and the dark color is easy on the eyes.

    I get compliments every day on the cover and it's cool embossing. It's eye-catching but not gaudy.

    I don't think I could have made a better choice. I'm so impressed with the new Nook Color and I have an impressive cover to match.

    Excellent Book Cover!

    I spent hours and days deliberating over the perfect cover for my Nookcolor, and this is it! The gray interior just disappears into the background so I can focus on the Nook. The leather is soft and supple. The interior is just the same. I also like the fact that the author imprints on the exterior give it texture, yet don't intrude on the reading experience. The inside cover has nice "pockets" for cards, notes, etc. I highly recommend this cover.

    Great Cover with One Very Visible Problem!

    The Visible issue is dead center on the front cover in the writer's name Browining! Since the cover is embossed with relatively well known writers from various periods, I would expect the writer(s) in question would be Robert and/or Elizabeth Barrett Browning? I would be more than a bit shocked if instead it was in honor of writers named Browining responsible for such as two "football manuals" and "magna charta barons" books? Why has this not been corrected? This is an affront both to honoring the proper notable writer(s)and to Nookcolor owners. 2 Stars for the misspelled name, would be 5 Stars in function and protection!

    Worth the wait

    A few weeks ago, I wrote to complain about the difficulty in getting this cover. I finally did get it, and it's really beautiful. The leather is high quality and it looks great. The Nook snaps right into place and is very secure. I'm glad I didn't settle for anything else. If this is the cover you want, be patient and keep trying; it's worth the wait. And yes, the misspelling of Browning was corrected on the cover I received.

    Great cover!

    I have had this cover on my Nook Color since last Christmas and it still looks great. It has traveled extensively and even made a cross country trip and never faltered once. It feels good in your hands, and while it does add a little weight to your Nook, it's not distracting and gives the Nook a more authentic book feel. I would highly recommend this cover to anyone looking for durable protection for their Nook Color or Nook Tablet.

    Love it

    This is the second cover I have purchased for my nook and I could not be more pleased with it. The best feature is that it bends back easily like the less expensive canvas covers which allows for easier one-handed reading. Also, my toddler has spilled milk and apple juice on this cover which both wiped off easily without seeping through to my nook.

    Perfect accessory

    I've had this cover since Christmas and can't believe I didn't notice the typo on the front! Even so, the soft leather cover is very stylish and looks very well made. Pockets inside are conveniently sized for microfiber wipes, library card, quick start guide, etc. Overall, I am very happy with this cover.
