Depending on how steady your hand is and how high your patience you can make your own vinyl skin as sheets of the stuff are sold in tubes for like $20-25 I've found them in Walmart, craft stores, and also automotive stores |
Awesome, that looks perfect! No added bulk or weight. Many thanks! I was searching for something like that, but never hit the right keywords for the NST.

The Armor-All treatment was never intended as a one-and-done, just as when using in your car. It's a maintenance approach which doesn't involve strenuous abrasion of the already compromised material which could just as easily crack or fall apart if worked on to vigorously. My $0.02.

The Armor-All worked great when it was first applied, but the NST is now with my dad, who is in his 80s. He doesn't have the interest or patience to apply it, so I'd have to keep up with it.
The back of the Nook is most affected by the stickiness. The buttons aren't bad at all, so I've left them alone.
I've never cared for cases, but I'm almost tempted to put my 7.8" Nook in one of those vinyl sleeves to protect it. I've had it since 2020, am very happy with it and hate to think of the soft finish deteriorating. Part of what I love about the Nook is how nice it feels in my hand compared to a tablet or phone, so I'm not sure how I'd take to a skin. My dad, on the other hand, would have no issues with one.
