I know what you mean regarding the weight of the Nook Color. I have very limited dexterity due to nerve damage and the weight is a big problem with me. I attached a zip tie to the loop in the case of the Nook Color which makes picking it up a lot easier. I used the B&N Industriell Cover for a week or so and while it's a great cover, it wasn't right for me for use on the Nook Color. I also have an Industriell cover on my first Nook and its still holding strong after a year of use. The no slip material on the Industriell covers is quite helpful and it's a well constructed cover but I want something that offers more protection as I'm afraid of dropping the Nook Color due to the weight. So after a lot of research, I bought the M-Edge Latitude shown here
http://www.medgestore.com/products/n...p?device=nook2 which I first learned about on these forms. It was very expensive but I just got it today and I'm very pleased with it, it's very well constructed and offers a lot of protection. It's only downside is it has a slippery nylon covering rather than the no slip material found on the Industriell covers.
I hope this helps!
