I'm using a Nook Color case made by Griffin. This is Elan Passport Graphite case. It has 4 straps, one at each corner. I picked it up at Walmart. It fits pretty good. I'm using a Targus stylus from Staples. It's very sweet.
Hey Jeff1969 , is this the stylus you mention?

If so, how's it working out for you? I was looking for something with a smaller tip before I buy but user feedback counts for just as much...
Just bought this Case 10$ with free amazon prime two day shipping. Looks great and very generic so it will fit any 7" tablet. Also has the built in magnet that will wake and turn off the tablet. I'll post some pics when it arrives friday. Enjoy

Love their stand setup, hate that it covers the bezel and adds quite a bit of bulk.

Folks,
If you just picked up a Nook HD or Nook HD+ for the Mothers Day Sale, your local Staples B&M store (USA only) has the Nook HD accessories on clearance. I picked up the OEM charging kit (wall charger with charging cable - http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/pow...26257001?ean=9780594481904&isbn=9780594481904) for $5 and also got a nice case (Groovy Stand in Storm HD+ - http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/groovy-stand-in-storm-hd/26210964?ean=9780594545798) for $5. As usual YMMV as Staples is clearing out all Nook related stuff.
Sweet! I'll have to go check it out. Sounds great, thanks for the tip.

I guess it's just on a per store basis. I just checked my local Staples and there are no discounts on Nook accessories. A very limited amount remaining, but not on clearance.

My Staples did not have anything, Nooks or accessories. They are definitely closing out the product.

I have a couple of staples close by - nothing at either one. Thanks for your guides by the way, running 10.1 through a Samsung SD card right now. Really like this device.
edit on that Samsung card
I tried a couple of them, initially each worked but eventually would not boot CWM. Can not post this in the thread on the working cards, don't have 10 posts yet here.
Went to staples in valparaiso indiana. They still had a few cases and a couple chargers. Barnes and nobles has their cases for 25. Found a great rotating case that has plastic feet instead of grooves. In portrait and landscape mode the tablet is very sturdy. Only 1 position butvery good. Great folio design I hadn't seen before.
Thanks for the tip. Staples near me had three $5 Power Kits and a $14 folio case. Passed on the case, but I bought all 3 Power Kits. Last weekend at B&N I bought one for $15, I need to drop by the store soon to resolve another issue so I'll return that for a credit. Three for one, not bad.
If anyone wants a case, let me know. I found a bunch of em at a Staples by me at work.

How much did you pick up the cases for? I found the poetic on amazon, but didn't know if they are any cheaper from staples.

Pretty cheap. Good luck finding them though.
The official case is the best IMO. Powers the screen on/off when you open/close the cover. I have 3 HD & 2 HD+ cases. Normally $40/$45 respectively.
Picked up the Groovy cases in Black for $4 each and the stock Nook chargers for the HD+ for $2 each. Quite the bargain

I have the Poetic case bought from Amazon for $6. It has the same smart cover feature as you described. I did check my local staples but they didn't have any Nook accessories in stock. So this is definitely YMMV...
anyone able to compare the slimline poetic to the groovy case? I bought the poetic, but I'm liking how the groovy looks in the pictures.
Thanks to the info on Staples closing out their nook stuff, I found a fine MEdge Incline 360 case for the Nook HD there and it rang up at $5. Its a combination case and stand. Dark purple leather with suede-like interior. Its not perfect because it uses elasticized straps around the corners (that make using the power and volume buttons difficult) but its still pretty great.

I got a Poetic case too, but $9.95 delivered. It is black with gray interior and hand strap to hold. Secures around the corners and has two grooves to set the device. Was going to get the 360 case, but read where the portrait mode is not stable, so falls down. Same problem with my iPad 4 and went back to a similar case like the Poetic for that as well.
Nice that the wake function works by default with CM 10.1. Magnet must be strong, since the display goes off when still almost three inches away from closing.
I got a Nook HD+ Groovy Stand in Storm from my nearby Staples in Miami for $ 4.00, could not find the charger.
I wonder if its too late to go looking. Just got my Nook HD+ a few days ago but all the posts by people on xda and slickdeals about nabbing the clearance accessories are like a month old.

I've been checking in the northern New Jersey area with no luck. I purchased an extra charger from Tiger Direct for 13.00 and ordered the Poetic Graph Grip case with a sleeve.
Looking for recommendations on a good leather case/BT keyboard combo for the Nook HD+.
I'd like one that works with both stock Nook HD+ and with HD+ with CM10.1.
I found one on Amazon, sold under three different brands @ about $35. Anyone using it?
Thanks.
I have the Poetic keybook case / keyboard combo which I think is one of the three cases. The case seems to be made OK although I think it is synthetic not real leather. It has the magnet to wake / sleep the tablet on case open/close and the rechargeable keyboard is also removable held in with magnets. The keyboard works well with both CM & the stock nook android, although if you go back and forth between the 2, it seems that you need to re-pair the keyboard & nook each time you switch OS'es for it to work.
How is the grip? I bought a stand case and it is so slick I an afraid I am going to drop the tablet.

It's a soft "leather-like" textured material so as long as your hands are not damp, it's good. This particular case only stands in landscape though.
