Hi kym, LOL. I do that too. I like the Industriell covers very much, both the classic and Easel/flip model, but have to make a Cornelian choice because can't afford to buy two covers. I think I have more need for a cover that would give me the feel of holding a book but I have to think about it some more. I have come to a partial conclusion that I prefer the hooks system (two-point from B&N or four-point from M-Edge called 'Leather Molded Mounting System') because it is less cumbersome and more elegant in my opinion, than the photo corners/edge straps system. Thus, with M-Edge in the Go Jacket style, I'm left only with either red or pink color because the Carbon Fiber model is with the straps system .

To all who have the B&N new mounting system for the Nook Touch, could you please tell me if you feel it is sturdy enough? The Nook Touch has four small notches at its corners to attach paraphernalia to it and it does seem odd to me that B&N designed a mounting system latching only on two points of the device while M-Edge opted for a more logical four-point system. B&N must have a very astute system and probably the most discreet of all attaching systems out there but I wonder if it can withstand the test of time.

The cover works well otherwise - it's compact, easy to clean, and folds back nicely - but I'd probably get something else if I had to do it again.

Hi wayrad, this is indeed upsetting . I hope the scuffing was only on the frame. One would think that a micro-suede interior lining would on the contrary prevent abrasion. I too would have a problem trusting such a cover if the same experience happens to me. Do you think it could come from some strayed hard dust particles that have attached themselves to the micro-suede? Or, instead the fabric has small irregularities that caused the scraping?
