Add Style or Color your Nook!?

backs

Did you know you can color your nook?  

There are a variety of options to personalize your nook and make it more fun, attractive, and personalized to you.  Custom device backs, silicone covers, decals, and cases all can customize your nook experience.  

Device Backs.  If you've added memory to your nook you've seen how easy it is to remove the back case on the nook.  B&N sells replacement case backs in a variety of colors.  You can also mix and match a custom case back with a silicone front cover for a custom look.

Decals & Skins.  If you are looking for a little more "extreme customization" you should take a look at custom decals.  These decals easily apply to the front and the back of the nook device and completely change the device look.  To add to the fun most of the decal companies provide custom screensavers that match the decal so the pattern on the case extends across the screen when the device is in sleep mode!  One of the downsides of the decals is they add a bit of a plastic feel to the nook that you might not like.  Something to consider is to just apply the decal to the front of the nook and use a B&N device back to colorize the back!

Cases, Sleeves, and Bags.  I'm a big fan of removing my nook from the device I carry it in so I favor sleeves and bags over a case.  A case holds the nook in it with a strap and is kept on while you use the device.  My wife just got a nook and also wanted something to carry the device but hold it while in use.  She opted for the very nice JAVOedge pink croc sleeve.  If you want to really deck out your nook and don't mind reading it in the case you could go with a custom decal and a crazy case like the Oberon Cases (check out the nookTalk Review)

Mix and Match? You could do a orange device back with a black front decal, or pick a decal to match your case theme.

More in Store Deals - 3/14

moreinstoreIf you are new to the nook and not familiar with "More in Store" it's a set of special set of deals you get only when you visit B&N with your nook. Simply go to the "Shop" application on your nook once you've connected to the B&N wi-fi.

I took my wife to the store for coffee and nook reading time yesterday (Yes, we both have a nook and share the B&N account). My wife had some trouble figuring out she had to scroll down to the bottom box before using the d-pad to select the free stuff. She pulled down a few items, and commented - "Seems kinda light". One she was curious about was the "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" entry but neither of our nooks could "buy" it. Each time we tried we'd get a "Can't Connect" error but the other titles worked. Both of us grabbed a couple of short reads on the Oscars.

Some weeks they have better content than others, and we'll keep you up to date when any "Killer" items appear (no, I don't mean murder stories - just good deals).

The B&N website with the latest "More in Store" deals can be found here in case you want to check them all out before you stop in the store.
