I bought two things which I am very satisfied with:
* Silicone Skin meant to be used at all times, to protect from bumps and drops. Very well designed, includes:
- Perfect Fit
- Cutout for lower left corner leaving loop and card slot accessible.
- Holes for headphone jack and miniUSB jack and over speaker and entire screen
- Thinner area over power and volume buttons allow them to be easily pressed
- Thicker over areas likely to hit objects
- Attractive pebble finish on bottom which also makes it non-slip
- (One customer review complains about its smell, which is silicone smell and I suspect it will go away with time.)
I bought the "ishoppingdeals" brand on Amazon, but B&N has one, and I suspect that all are made in the same factory (how many Nook Color Silicone Skin factories could there be ?), but I have no way of knowing for sure.
* A thread somewhere claimed that "Belkin Kindle 2 Case" fits the Nook Color, and since the Kindle 2 is discontinued, I was able to get one for $5 shipped on ebay. It is neoprene, with extra padding over the screen, and fake leather over the screen on the outside, and a good quality zipper with two pulls. The Nook Color with the Silcone Skin fits nicely in this case. Amazon has third-party sellers and one is fulfilled by Amazon and that way both items I have mentioned can be part of the same "free shipping" order. Since the wave of 11,000 Nook Color sales, the price on these has gone up and it is now $7.23 shipped, but still a good deal.
