Clean, simple, sleek cover but nothing out of the ordinary. I can fold it back so its out of the way when I'm reading and my nook clips in well, but I wouldn't grab a flap and start waving it about because I'm pretty sure that would mean the end of my nook. Much prefer the tweed and leather javo edge cover I had for my nook first edition. Also, I have a little bit of difficulty waking up my nook using the"button" on the back, but I haven't yet figured out if its because of the case, or because my nook is a piece of crap.
