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.  

What have you tried? Any pictures to share?

I got my skin from Decal Girl and I picked 'aqua burn' with the matte finish. I am very happy with my choice.

Bought a Nook Color and I think they are pretty good for the money paid. The feature I like best is the color LCD as I love to read my favorite magazines while waiting in line, at a doctor's office or anywhere else.

I did have a hard time finding a sleeve for it. However, found a small company that makes a pretty good sleeve for this unit and sells them for only $8.95 with free freight at www.nuvo-tek.com.

By the same token, if anyone knows of where I can buy a good cover (not a sleeve) that is not too expensive for the Nook Color, please let me know.

Thanks

I wish I would have bought the original Nook instead of the color as there is a MUCH WIDER selection of cases for the original.

I want a case that can be used as an easel. I ordered the onlyone I found, but apparently the seller cannot send it.

Does anyone know where I can find the easel type Nook Color cover? Thanks in advance.

case for my nook, and that's where it will stay, no need for fancy options, my case cover the nook with leather, no fabric straps to fail, plus it has an easel. Less then $32 including shipping from the UK in less then 7 days through Amazon

This was a useful post and I think it is rather easy to see from the other comments as well that this post is well written and useful.

Long time Palm TX and Cybook user. Unprotected devices don't fair well when that accidental drop occurs. So I bought a 3rd party case for my nook, and that's where it will stay, no need for fancy options, my case cover the nook with leather, no fabric straps to fail, plus it has an easel. Less then $32 including shipping from the UK in less then 7 days through Amazon.
