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.
Ah, yes, another thing that I used to slip behind my Kindle... That K3 case was convenient for that.

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 pockets, 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 that 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 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
.An I/O Magic Portable Power Pack
.The power cords for my devices
.A stylus (rarely used)
.A thumb drive
Wow! You also have everything you need-well, except for a tea bag! Stick one of those in there and you will be ready for just about anything!!

Does the microfiber cloth count as a towel?

Never fear; the teabag's in a little Ziploc baggie in my purse, along with trail mix. (I get cranky and ditsy when I'm hungry, so I never leave home w/o those.)

wow, tea bag somebody said the only thing missing in a woman's handbag is an inflatable helicopter. To this day I kick myself for not buying one when I saw it in window shop to prove everybody wrong. Imagine their faces if I pulled it out.

No. I actually hate things like that, causing me not to choose the case. Same goes for clips, clasps, and metal parts on a case.

When I had a case with a pocket, I used it for my microfiber cleaning cloth and that was about it.

The only thing that I would keep there would be the bitter gall from having a case with a pocket.

Yep, me, too-with the kids I'm always well stocked with snacky stuff. I love trail mix, I'm pretty sure the Peanut M&M's take away ALL the health benefits but we eat a ton of it anyway!

When I had a peak-hour commute, I kept my travel pass in the pocket because it was far easier to access and store when I was being jostled by other passengers. I'm prone to dropping things, and would have caused plenty of tutting by rummaging through my purse for it.

If I'm going for a short jaunt out or just a day to relax, I put some money, credit card, driver's license and ID card in the pocket. So nice to be able to leave the purse behind.

It sounds like a lot of ladies are basically using their reader cases as a wallet

My close friend used to use her ereader case as a wallet when she went to university. It suited her -- without fail, she'd always forget to take something (and she had a four-hour round commute!), but that thing would never be her ereader!
