Cover for new Glowlight

JerseyBiker · 11-26-2013, 04:18 PM

The only cover available for the newest Nook Glowlight is a fold over job that has only one star reviews. Everyone of the reviews on the B&N website say the cover is worthless junk. Even on Amazon all of the covers are for the ST, STG. I was wondering if I could use a STG cover on my new Glowlight? I would appreciate any suggestions for a cover. Thanks

Other than the new Glowlight being .05" thinner than the STG they have the same dimensions according to B&N's website so I'd think most STG covers (M-Edge, Oberon, etc.) would work. The exception might be if there are any molded snap-in type covers as they might be a loose fit with the thickness difference.

I bought one of the covers for the ST, STG for my Glowlight after looking at the new covers on display (and I would say the one star reviews are fitting). They are a bit of a loose fit on the Glowlight not having the slots like the former nooks. However, I'm not really concerned that it will fall out, it's secure enough, looks good and a bargain at $15.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I did find out that out there is a difference. Like fbrII mentioned, the older Glowlight has slots in the bezel where the clips on the cover holds it in. The newer Glowlight does not have the slots. fbrII says the cover for the older model is working for him/her so I'll give it a try.

I am also using my old B&N cover from my STR. You can find them on clearance right now for $15. You have to be careful with buying non B&N covers. Even though the dimensions are similar, the power button has moved from the back to the upper left corner.
