Looking to purchase an outdoorsy case for my new Nook STR. Something somewhat rugged, which can provide protection while bouncing around inside a backpack or bike bag. Water protection would be a plus as would a nice fit for the device...perhaps a bit of extra room for the charger..or not.

The market for device specific cases looks a bit thin at the moment.

I was considering a TrendyDigital WaterGuard. My new nook is unusable thru a plastic ziplock bag, so the WaterGuard is out...unless others try it and report good usability.

Amazon is advertising a "CaseCrown Hard Case Cover for Barnes and Noble Simple Touch Reader Nook NEW", which is listed on the CaseCrown website as a generic e-reader case. I'm skeptical about fit of the smaller form factor.

What are you using?
