I bought a Nook Color recently and I highly recommend it to you as an ereader and as an Android tablet. It connects to wifi and I can get my email, browse the web, play some games, read books, watch movies and listen to music or audiobooks on it. It is compatible with most of the ebooks we have available for checkout at the library and it just frikkin rocks. I have a lot of gaming books loaded on it as well as my pulp fiction, dolly parton music and some movies. Forgetting Sarah Marshall was surprisingly good.
Right away I knew I had to have some sort of case to protect the screen from scratches and the whole thing from bumps and bruises that come along with Real Life. In the car, on an hour-long ride, I crocheted a case.
It is simple, it is functional and I like it. I've also gotten lots of compliments on it. My spouse thinks it looks too much like a purse because I put a handle on it. To him I say, SUFFER!
Would you like to make one too?
Voila - you have spent about an hour and now have a Nook Color case just like mine. Simple, Functional, Like a Girly Purse. All for the low low price of whatever that yarn cost you - probably somewhere around $3.00 because you won't have used the whole skein of yarn.
This creative endeavor was a success. It was inexpensive, I did not make any significant mistakes in its creation and I've gotten compliments on the end product.

Would you like to make one too?- Get out your crochet hook - size H and a skein of that super cheap acrylic yarn in a color you like. Chain 40 and crochet that together. You've made a ring that will be the top of the case.
- Begin Single Crochet around and around for 30 rows. Just long enough to slip your Nook into.
- The last row you want to flatten the tube you've been making and Single Crochet across to "sew" it together. Now it is no longer a tube, it is a pouch.
- At the other end Chain 4 and then Double Crochet x 3, repeat 14 times then attach to the other side in a single crochet to "sew" it on. This will torment your Spouse with a handle which will make it look like a girly purse.
