That is a pretty case, though it's hard to tell from the picture whether the material is rigid enough to hold the nook up.

I have these two "official" cases, both with their own advantages:

The Bronte is made from some kind of stiff cloth board and is stiff enough to hold the nook up by the cover, but not at an angle that I would say is optimal for hands-free reading. This is my "home" protective case, keeps the cover clean and also can be used to prop the nook up with the "wrong" hand (for example if you are right handed you can hold your coffee with the right hand and use the left to hold the nook up by the open flap of the cover). BTW you can replace the picture on the Bronte cover with your own photo.

The Easel Cover is a great case for being on the go - it has the magnetic clasp for keeping the cover held down in a bag/backpack and as I said it flips over to secure it in the easel configuration. This is my preferred case for hands-free reading because it puts the nook at a good angle for reading while, say, eating. It's also easier to wipe clean.
