Maxpedition Fatboy Versipack - Nook Color Accessories

So I was looking for an efficient way to tote around my nook, ecig stuff, and and other odds and ends to and from work, and while I'm out in the field.
I generally don't carry around enough stuff to warrant a backpack or a messenger bag, but saw that a coworker had a Versipack, and suspected that the rear/CCW pocket the perfect size for the nook... so I picked one up, and it is. Now I just need a name tape to make this one mine.
So for anyone who's interested, here's the Maxpedition link, but it can be had cheaper at other various online vendors:
http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/FATBOY-VERSIPACK-4p31.htm
And of course some photos; as you can see it even accommodates the nook with silicone skin and neoprene sleeve. The pack itself is very well-made and looks to be extremely durable. Thumbs-up on this.

I agree the fatboy versipack is great for this. I had the type-s for my kindle originally, now I use it for my wookie (nickname for my wonderful nookie), Evo, usb cable, wall adapter, keys, and a few other things. I love my fatboy =)

I think I might laugh at a guy I saw with one of these, until I noticed that they're designed as ccw holsters! The only problem I can see with it is can it hold my Sig and my nc at the same time?

Ha, I used to have one of those. Good thing to see the Nook fits!

I have a fatboy and upgraded to a colossus, the colossus carries my 9" netbook, nook, nook color and a ton of other items (ds, flashlight, multitool, 1911, blackberry, droid, gps) with some external pouches from tactical tailor. Technology addiction is a horrible thing...

Cool, that's a really nice pack too, just too large for my edc needs.

Aaahh... the good ol' Fatboy... I think I had one of every color at one point LOL, even a few Jumbos'. I'm also an EDC junkie... Right now I'm pimpin' a Tactical Tailor Modular Operator Pack for large edc/shtf, a Tactical Tailor Enhanced Daypack (now discontinued) for regular daily EDC. The Nook fits perfectly in the slip pocket behind the admin area of that. Then theres' a custom bag I had made that acts as a removeable organizer that I keep in the latter. This list goes on....
*Stay AWAY from Kifaru gear, your wallet will hate you....

Yeah a little too large for me as well, but I think Ill get the
JUMBO S-TYPE VERSIPACK
Looks like it will be good for my needs

Can you say....manpurse

I think you mean a small men's carryall.

What's the difference between S-type and non S-type?

I'm fairly sure one is right hand and one is left side. Can't remember which is which though.

Can the regular one hold a NC and a Dell mini 10v? Or would I need to get the Jumbo?

The regular one would hope the NC just fine but for the additional 10v you would need the Jumbo. I found that when loaded the Jumbo got too heavy and made me lean. Unless your a bigger person you may want to consider a small backpack like the Tactical Tailor removeable operator pack I just got. Nice and small and out of the way but still holds plenty. Got mine a few weeks ago and its fantastic.

I was able to find this knock off
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002BJBIRW/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1305576200&sr=8-1
Its pretty good and looks almost exactly as the maxpedition one. It also doubles as a tactical diaper bag door me. The best thing was that it was cheaper and free shipping.

thank you! i just purchased this!

I was looking at the fatboys but then someone mentioned that it isn't stylish enough. So I went searching and found the ultimate metrosexual carryall man purse. http://www.tombihn.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=001&Product_Code=TB0201 in cocoa/wasabi color combo. Fits the nook perfectly. Not to mention a bunch of other crap.

Lol, I just toss mine in my massive timbuktu messenger bag (similar color scheme), though it's seen better days. I think most of the guys looking at the fatboy aren't really going for that metrosexual look.

Perfect, super small messenger bag for Galaxy Tab

Hello all, i seem to have found a pretty sweet little bag that fits the Galaxy Tab and several accessories quite nicely and also is rather small.
Its made by SwissGear and called the SwissGear Travel Shoulder Bag.
( at target for onlu $11.99 !!, http://www.target.com/Swiss-Gear-Over-Shoulder-Travel/dp/B002JD0S1M )
Its marketed as a camera bag but works great w/the Tab. I have a review and pics up on my blog at:
http://blogs.tech-recipes.com/seamo...g-swissgear-travel-shoulder-bag-quick-review/
Looks good but lacks a padded pocket. I can see myself using this when the weather gets nicer on day excursions outside, etc.
Nice find, thanks for posting it. I was looking for something similar.

Based on your review I thought I'd pass by my local Target and check it out. It is a very nice bag and see what you're talking about. My Target had it on clearance for $19.99. I was about to fight to get the internet price when I came across the Swiss Army carry on bag (named differently on their website.) It's just slightly larger but just enough.
Check it out - http://goo.gl/AyZbD
Either one would work for most people. Since I carry multiple chargers and IT stuff, this worked a little better.
That keyboard looks like the BEEWI BBK200 ?
What is it like ?
I've been looking at messenger bags for a while now. I got a larger chrome bag awhile back for travel, and I am very pleased with it. I have been thinking I might get another for more casual use, smaller and simpler. I am definitely going to stop by target and take a look at this swiss tech bag simply because of price.
Here are my other, more pricey candidates:

i believe that is the one, i got it from meritline i believe. its ok, i've realized that thumb keyboards are only as good as the button layouts; its not really optimized for two finger thumb typing but does the trick when i need a keyboard for the tab or phone or ps3.
thats a nice find too! i'm a fan of the swissgear stuff, i have their luggage set too; so far its made it across coast to coast twice this year.
Question about your awsome messenger bag. Do you think it would hold the samsung galaxy keyboard dock?
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
I find these adidas city/messenger bags are an almost exact fit for the Tab..
I have 4 different styles and the tab just fits like a glove!
hmm, i don't think it will. the keyboard may be too big fit. is it the same size as the Tab (bt keyboard dock)?

def worth the price, seems to be padded too.
How did you manage to connect the BeeWii BBK200 to your android? It's not recognized on the HTC Wildfire/Froyo... missing a driver probably (Teksoft bluetooth keyboard driver doesn't work).
Thx

Custom Nook Color stand

Last night I got inspired (by the Netflix app ) to make a functional and nice looking stand. But instead of jumping in blindly with plexiglass or something I built a prototype out of cardboard.
I was thinking of making the final version a bit smaller so it fits nicer when vertical and maybe making a notch in it so the home button is accessible. Something I can't figure out how to fix is that the speaker is inside the stand when vertical. But other than that I'm really happy how this turned out and can't wait to make a final version.
Attached are some pictures of it holding the Nook horizontal and vertical. Any comments, ideas or questions would be appreciated. Thank you.
Not bad though if you are worried about the speaker it would be realy easy to rigup a pair of speakers with a 1/8" stereo jack on your final build
Wouldnt it just be easier/cheaper to buy one of those stands?
Im all about making custom things, but in this case, I dont see the benfit of what you made versus this: http://www.amazon.com/Arkon-Portabl...VOOY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1305477985&sr=8-2

Ah phooey! I see the benefit of DIY. True, sometimes there are cheaper solutions out there. But this user's solution gave "me" many ideas for other devices, my wife's iPad, my Evo, Books! I like the ingenuity involved in the OP's solution. I'm going to make something like this out of plexiglass--the OP's idea. 1 sheet of pl (home depot), my jigsaw, some cement, buff the edges, felt the edges to protect the nook, rubber little feet (Rite Aid), listen to jazz while I'm making it and have a blast! $20. It's going to look a lot better than a little cheap rack holding holding up a nook. Nice going!
I agree, sometimes it's about the journey, not the destination.

I have one of these and, while it's great for my XOOM, it doesn't really fit the NC very well. It's OK for landscape but if you want your NC to stand in portrait while charging you have to put the stand on a book or the edge of a table to allow space for the cable. Actually I found this thread because I was looking for a better stand.
I definitely see the advantages of DIY to satisfy your own requirements. Good luck!
I use this case stand since I got my Nook Color in January. I see that now Amazon for fulfils the orders for it now. I had to wait two weeks back then but it was worth it. No excuses not to get it now.

Get a good Bluetooth keyboard I actually bought the Apple one from Amazon and you're in heaven.

Would you guys carry your N7 using.....

I was wondering if someone made a carry case with a shoulder strap would you guys use it? I would and I'm looking for one but can't find anything that doesn't look like a girlie pocketbook.
As a man that is engaged to be married to the most amazing woman on earth, I already carry one. It has a strap, it's colorful and pretty and I hate it. But her purse works. I bought a cheap case for The Seven and she carries it when we are out and about. I am still fighting for a man cave...so good luck getting your own man bag
Disclosure: I want one too

I threw the #2 rod through the oil pan on my S10 earlier this summer. Really sucked and now i am without a car for a couple months since it is not worth fixing. I realized i had too much stuff to carry with me on a day to day basis so i decided to get some sort of bag. I went with the manliest style i could think of and now it carries everything i need.

Including all my electronics. Nexus 7, HTC Sensation plus two spare batteries, Ipod, 2 sets of headphones, E-Cig batteries and all the e-liquid for the e-cig. It has also taken the place of carrying a small diaper bag for my 2 year old. can fit his bottle, snacks, zip lock bag of wipes, two diapers and 3 hot wheels for him to play with. I also carry a mora 4" knife, gerber multi-tool, two 3" very sharp folding knives, window punch and two small bright flashlights. Three is two, two is one and one is none is pretty much my moto. My kid calls it "da-da purse". Its ok.
This is also a good bag company

Thats would be ok. but i am not sure i would trust that with my stuff. I do like their classic messenger bag but i would really like to see more pics and maybe a hands on before trusting my stuff in a bag company that seems to be going for looks. the 5.11 and maxpedition bags are built like tanks. very strong material build.
The integrated bottle opener is a nice touch though.
I like the bags from Rickshaw. I just haven't been able to justify the cost yet. Would love to grab a Mini Commuter.

adamhlj: if you want to trust your stuff to a cheap bag like that then go ahead. thinking like that means you were ripped off by buying a nexus tablet as opposed to a emedia tablet. If you want to buy the kia of bags then go ahead. I'll stick with the lexus of bags and it will last longer.
besides I bought my bag on overstock sale for $50. I'd rather pay twice as much for something that will last longer then 3 months.

I got a murse (man purse) to carry my rooted Nook Color about 2 years ago. And it went with me everywhere until I got the N7.
It holds my N7, wallet, keys, phone, over the ear headphones, cleaning cloth, extra charger and cord, etc.

Whoa seriously there is nothing wrong with UTG (under the gun). They make a lot of crap and a lot of quality stuff at a decent price. they're made to contend with higher priced items and do this well. My job sells like 100+ UTG items. AND I happen to own a 2011 Kia Forte Koup. It is an amazing car! No really... go to Kia and test drive one. Or an Optima. They're amazing cars nowadays. And the money I saved by buying this car goes to things like my tablet and cheaper bags and anything else I want to splurge on.

I got with android because i am a fan of linux and open source. I also believe i should be able to do what i want with my mini computer. Android phones are not that much cheaper then iphones and no matter what anyone says iphones work really will with other apple products. And actually, i am considering the iphone 5 when it comes out. Since the trend of android is making high end devices huge. I want a high end phone with a 4" screen. I dont need to carry around 2 tablets. Thats nice that you have a kia. Will it be running strong in 10 years? We'll see. I see plenty of honda, toyota, lexus, chevy, fords, and dodges from 02 on the road. not too many Kias though. Sacrificing price for quality is not wise in my decision. And like beestee said there is a structural different between the bags. I also didn't have anymore attitude in what i said then the attitude that adam had when he said i got ripped off.
Now back on topic.

I like that sandbag. i'll have really give it a once over the next time i see one in the stores. I also have the bag listed below. I have seen it for about $75 but i paid $90 for it. That is what i use when the family goes to the zoo or disneyland. I have also used it for a 3 day camp/hike trip. Worked really well. If it was winter or any longer then i would have had to use a bigger bag. Day hikes just get the 5.11 PUSH. Take 5 min and watch the video on the MOAB 10. You'll see a lot of attention to the little details in the construction of this bag.

Checked out the MOAB, awesome awesome bag. I miss being in the USAF with stuff like this lol. Eh whatever...lol A glock in the compartment, nice...forget my tablet lol
I pulled the trigger and got a deal on the Max Jumbo KISS bag. I think it should suffice. I just dropped my N7 on the curb because my 4yr old kicked it off the seat while I was getting her out of the truck. This is what happens when your hands are full folks lol....
I'll post a review of that bag when I get it next week. :good:
I like the KISS. I looked into that because of the zipper pouch on the side. The push pak has two zipper pouches for water. I liked the idea of the full zipper but my hand didn't fit inside that pouch. Couldn't get headphones out of the bottom. But I still like that bag

Do not forget the having to change bags to match what your wearing. I bought the nexus 7 because i got tired of always having to be sure my bag or purse was big enough to fit my a500 in..I love the device but with its size i might as well pack my computer around.. My nexus will fit in even a larger clutch bag.And a smaller purse that works well with a tiny spring strappy or strapless Dress..
You have to look good no matter what....
guys can get away with nearly anything . Get you a pair of cargo shorts with those pockets that go 3/4 the way around the leg put a hard shell case that opens at the top and there ya go.. nice protection and easy to access... pssssss
with the above about the 4 inch phone i so agree .. the sweet spot on a phone size is 4 inches..Anything bigger is to much to hold in my hand . It must Make calls and Tether to my tablet.. What more do you need in a cell phone if you have a 7 inch tablet...
I personally would NOT use a i phone ... it may be very user friendly But we are all individual people..We deserve to have a device we can make our own.And not be locked into what the manufacturer say is BEST FOR US..
Ok all lets go shopping now...

with the above about the 4 inch phone i so agree .. the sweet spot on a phone size is 4 inches..Anything bigger is to much to hold in my hand . It must Make calls and Tether to my tablet.. What more do you need in a cell phone if you have a 7 inch tablet...
I personally would NOT use a i phone ... it may be very user friendly But we are all individual people..We deserve to have a device we can make our own.And not be locked into what the manufacturer say is BEST FOR US..
Ok all lets go shopping now...

Yep, I don't buy a purse if it can't fit a small notebook, or now, if it won't fit my N7 and a charger. And I change lanyards, purses, paracord accessory, ocassionally shoes, and hat for the day, sometimes during the day if I have to change for events.
And I have a captivate glide, which is about four inches, and a physical keyboard that makes me giddy (except when looking at cases).
All I can say is thank god black goes with 'everything'! -Ara

Bag Suggestions For Nexus 7?

So I have a large backpack for carrying around my laptop + whatever else but when I'm going somewhere casual & I only really need my tablet it's a bit unnecessary! What do you guys (yeah, guys specifically, girls not such a problem with just a handbag) carry it around in when you really only have that, your wallet, phone, keys etc?
Thinking of a really small shoulder bag/satchel type deal but I'm not really sure.
I got a small shoulder bad from Amazon - search for Brown Canvas Small Travel Portfolio Shoulder Bag (I can't post the link yet)
It seems durable and well made, especially for the price (10 bucks w/shipping) Holds my Nexus 7 with case, phone, cables, cards, bluetooth headset and WiiDrive.
I'm very happy with it. The color is more UPS-like than in the picture.
I've only had my N7 since Friday and not really been out with it, but when I picked it up from my mums on Friday I had my Notebook with me so I put it in there. When around the house I just put it in my jogging bottoms pocket or carry it in my hand. Will have to buy something more safe to carry it in other than using a pocket in the long run though.

I have this bag, love it, but it is more... surplus-build than anything quality. I do love and use it though.

My all-time favorite bag in history, though, is my STM Scout tablet bag:
http://www.stmbags.com/catalog/ipad-bags/scout2-for-ipad-shoulder-bag/
This thing is FANTASTIC. Seriously, it is quality product. I get compliments on it all the time, the padding is incredible. The only issue I have with it is its made for a 10-incher, but honestly, I don't mind because it can fit pretty much any case you could possible have, and carry plenty of essentials for a day-trip. Cannot explain how much I like this bag. In fact, STM in general makes awesome stuff, and their support is top notch. I lost the key clip, and they sent me a new one free of charge.
I have a bag problem, it seems

No doubt. I guess it's only fair though. They always pay way more than us bloody Yanks from across the pond- right, mate?
The Lautner covers are really nice.
At least we can get the Poetic case from Amazon for 5 bucks. It's not too shabby.

Lol. Yeah. I was kinda wanting to go with the Groovy (in blue).. like having the option to use it as a stand for video and reading on breaks. Guess I'll have to check out some of the Amazon ones. Only thing I noticed on most of those is they all seem to have that frame around the sides of the screen.. not sure if I'd like that. Does the auto sleep thing work ok with those? (I currently just have a sleeve I keep mine in that slides into a pocket in my shoulder bag, but I think a case/cover might be better.. less parts to have to deal with. Lol)

The cheap Poetic case can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-StrapBack-Protective-Function-Manufacturer/dp/B00AAKLDN8.
I hate cases that cover the bezel. This one fits the bill, has the magnetic on/off, and does well as a stand. (side rant: I never understood manufacturers who place the inside surface of a cover on a table when in stand mode. Great way to pick up all sorts of debris and possible scratches. This one doesn't do that, thankfully.)
I'm happy with it. Looks sleek when closed. One potential caveat : it will have that new car smell for a week or so. Didn't bother me, but may some. I would have been happy with this case for 4x the price.
By the way - While I highly recommend this for the HD+, I just as highly don't recommend it for the HD. Given the way the HD is made, it will have possible problems.

Cheers for the heads up on this Just ordered the 360 degree HD+ case and matte screen protector.

Ahh OK. Hadn't really noticed that one for some reason. I had been looking at these: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimline-Portfolio-Manufacturer-Warranty/dp/B00B20N9XW Which, as you you mentioned have you putting at least part of the inside cover against the table. While the only time I'll probably be using the stand feature is at work.. those break room tables can definitely be nasty at times.
Actually now that I look at it, I remember why I'd skipped over this one, there seemed to be several complaints on Amazon of this cover damaging people's Nooks??
The Nook HD version can damage your device. The HD+ one is fine.

Really disappointed in the Lautner case. Adds a lot of bulk and not anywhere near as light as I expected. Luckily it was only £5,the original £35 is daylight robbery.
Thanks for the heads up, picked up two USB cables and chargers for less than the price of one (planned to get one anyway and handy having a spare).
they don't ship oversea (from B&N-UK-website to France/Belgium/Netherlands...)
They do from B&N-US-website, but the prices are higher and the shipment cost also (which is logical: US -> EU)
I've just ordered a Nook HD+, to start reading/try annotating texts on a tablet, thanks to their current low prices (I had to look for a place shipping overseas). It's a pitty I can't do the same with the accessories. Well, I'll have to look further for those. Or maybe see if no one I know is going to the UK anytime soon

Aaaand then there was one. Thanks for spotting that @adam_ky ! Sure beats the $32 "clearance" one I found at Wal-Mart. Lol
I'd been watching eBay and Amazon hoping for just such a find but since eBay's search ignores the "+" I found myself using 9 in the search terms to narrow it down.. this one flew right under the radar. Had $18 in my PayPal account from Ebates so this one will be free!
Nice.

Glad to help. I have found ebay to be the best solution when searching for a good deal on a case. I only have the hd not the plus but i really like the groovy case looks good and works nice. I hope you like it.

I'm liking it a lot actually. Works good, not a ton of options for angles, but you only really need two anyway, ya know? I love the auto sleep/wake feature too.. the cover keeps it from coming on in my backback and draining the battery down. And it looks very nice, not cheap and plasticy.
eBay is definitely my first stop, then Amazon, then from there I go poking around the different sites .. but I'd say 99% of my online purchases are either from eBay or Amazon.
Why UK only?
Can someone buy me some things and ship them to Germany?
