I had the B&N 360 cover and I found it seemed to be very cheap to me. Mine didn't last long before it started falling apart and I treat my things with kid's gloves. I also wanted something that offered a little bezel protection, which the 360 didn't have. I really thought I wanted a case that would double as a stand in landscape or portrait mode but I never really found myself using the portrait mode all that much. On those rare occasions that I needed to stand my HD+ up to read, I just read in landscape mode.
I now have a poetic DuraBook and love this case. It's made of some pleather and comes in several colors. I have the black. It allows me to stand the case up in landscape or portrait mode but I typically leave it in landscape for the reasons I mentioned earlier. It offers great bezel protection and doesn't seem to add all that much weight to my HD+. It has magnets built into the cover so that I can use the auto on/off functionality when I open/close the case. It is far from thin though and I know that is important to many users. If you're looking for a thin case, you'd want to look elsewhere. Personally, I think this is one of the best HD+ cases available and the price is right too. You can usually find it for about $12 shipped on ebay.
