Do you ever use the inside pocket of ereader case?

My Kindle is in a silicone case. No front cover, no pockets.

Mine never had a pocket, but I have slipped in papers behind the reader.

I tried to use the pockets on my Nook Color case sometimes, but either things would be too bulky or not secure enough. None of my current cases have pockets, and I don't miss them. I carry a "tactical field bag" (*cough*manpurse*cough*) much of the time, and/or stash things in my car.

My KPW case has a handstrap, which I don't use much either, but it seems more practical than a pocket.

I use the pocket on my Kindle keyboard case all the time. It's perfect to stick my drivers license & bank card so I don't have to lug a purse around. Right now it also has a coupon for hair cuts, a Finding Nemo sticker and a tea bag!

The only time I use the pockets is when I'm flying. Mine has one for an id which I use when going through security and a bigger one for my plane tickets.

I have never purchased a case with a pocket.

You've got all the essentials in yours! I use the pockets inside my NOOK cases all the time, too.

My NOOK Tablet lived in a tri-fold leather case with one large and 5 small horizontal pockets, and one large vertical pocket, in which I saved:
. A $20 bill
. An airline baggage tag with my name and contact info on it
. A bookmark that triples as a ruler and magnifying glass
. My BN Member card (which I've purposely let lapse)
. Business cards collected on any given day, that I need to scan into my electronic address book
. Dry cleaners and shoe repair pick-up receipts
. A microfibre cleaning cloth
. Handwritten instructions for rebooting the NT, when it froze or wouldn't start, and for other nifty NT tricks
. Occasional handwritten notes or lists not entered into an app
. Printed instructions from my library for sideloading books (no longer needed)
. Upcoming dental/medical/optical appointment cards

When I replaced the NT, I couldn't find a similar tri-fold case for the NOOK HD and settled for a dual-fold case with a single large, horizontal, inside pocket. That new pocket now holds the:
. $20 bill
. airline baggage tag with my name and contact info on it
. bookmark that triples as a ruler and magnifying glass
. occasional handwritten lists and notes not entered into an app

OT:
I now also carry a small electronics case that serves both my NOOK and smartphone. It contains:
.Another $20 bill and airline baggage tag
.Some items previously carried in the NT case: appointment cards, business cards, handwritten notes/lists, microfibre cloth, pick-up receipts for the dry cleaners and shoe repair
. Earphones
.An I/O Magic Portable Power Pack
.The power cords for my devices
.A stylus (rarely used)
.A thumb drive

If any of my ebook reader cases had pockets, I've never noticed them.

The cover for my NOOK HD+ tablet has a vertical side pocket that I noticed just recently; I stuck the receipt with the due date for the kids' library books into the case and saw later that there was a pocket that they could go into. It's perfect, because I can have a bit of the paper showing to remind me they are there but is big enough to secure them so I don't have to worry about them falling out.



(The description of the case on the website describes additional pockets that are neither in the picture nor on my case. I like the cleaner design without them.)

I attempted to cut the pocket off my (unofficial) Kobo case. I felt that the "corner" of it was poking into the screen, which is the exact opposite of everything I want from a case. The pocket was kind of a smaller rectangle attached on two edges. I turned it into more of a triangle. Made a bit of a mess of it, too, but I only use the case for transport and it suffices.

My Nook and Kindle cases don't have pockets.

[treadlightly]

The zip pocket of my ereader case/sleeve contains my USB cable, a safety-pin for resetting the device, a microfiber cloth and multiple Kobo gift cards.

[Abtacha]

I keep a paperclip in my Gecko covers (Aura HD and Sony PRS-T1 before that) in case I need to reset my reader but I wouldn't miss the pocket if it wasn't there.

[Glorfindel]

I use mine for a paper containing wifi passwords and lib. acc. info

When I had a case with a pocket it held the microfiber cloth to wipe the screen. Now I just lay the cloth flat over the screen before I close the cover. I always wanted a cover with a long narrow pocket to slip one of my many bookmarks into. While I no longer need a paper bookmark I do miss playing with the tassel while I read.

If they didn't have the pocket, people would complain. Better to have a pocket that people don't use than not have one for those who need it.

I made my own sleeve (only need it to protect screen from scratches from stuff in my purse) with no pocket. I made my sister's with a gusset pocket so she had a place to put her cord and plug (into the wall). Complete with a handle since she doesn't carry a purse.

I keep a cleaning cloth in the pocket and my boarding pass when I fly. Since I am usually reading right up 'til I have to board the plane and want to resume as soon as I'm settled, it's nice not to have to dig through my purse or my carry-on for the boarding pass.
