Eco-nique: not just a cool Nook cover that's fun to say real fast

What is an eco-nique you might ask (after your tongue unwinds from saying unique eco-nique from i-nique 5 times real fast). The Eco-nique is part of a line of superbly cool and creative cases made by i-nique (products sold through tuff-luv.com)

They make cases for just about any device you've ever heard of (and maybe even a few you haven't) including mp3 players, phones, cameras, laptops, GPS devices and other e-readers and tablets like the new Kindle Fire and Nook Color.

The product that grabbed my attention - and the line I think you'll dig as well is the eco-nique natural Hemp Nook cover for Barnes & Noble Nook (they have the hemp case covers for sale for other devices as well)

Since I am a new Nook owner I wanted to find a cool Nook cover to keep it nice and safe - and spruce it up a bit to boot. The Eco-nique hemp cover for the Nook turned out to be a good choice. It is very secure, well crafted and a perfect fit for the Nook (and looks slick with the Nature screen saver images)

But What Does a Hemp Nook Cover Feel Like?

To be honest I was curious to see what the hemp Nook cover would feel like - when I think of hemp I think of a coarse burlap, but the eco-nique hemp Nook cover feels great - nice and soft with a touch of padding beneath so if it does slip out of your hands as you fall asleep reading it won't crack you in the noggin' (unless you get it on the corner - ouch!)

The interior material is also nice, an imitation leather that feels a lot like real leather. The Nook fits very snugly inside with plenty of access to the power button on top, the page turning buttons and the ports on the bottom so you don't have to remove or move around the Nook to get to anything.

I like the book style covers for the Nook and the eco-nique hemp Nook cover just so happens to be the book style so you can fold over and clasp the cover for easy reading.

My one disappointment with eco-nique hemp Nook cover (and I'm being pretty picky) is with the color - the color itself is just fine a cool (as in temperature) medium dark brown which is attractive, but it wasn't what I was expecting based on all the photos I had seen. In every photo around the internet it is shown as a warmer lighter chocolate brown. That's the difficulty with monitor setting eh? You never know. They now offer a new Autumn Brown color which is an even lighter more of a creme color if that fits your fancy.

Where can I find the Eco-Nique Nook Cover for Sale?

Over all though if you are looking for a unique hemp cover for your Nook or other electronic devices check out tuff-luv.com (if you use coupon code: youtubevideo you can even get 10% off your purchase - so you might as well buy one of their many other cool designs as well)

i-nique (and tuff-luv) are based out of the UK so if you happen to live in the UK you'll be treated to free shipping - if you live outside the UK you'll have to cough up some cash for shipping and wait awhile for delivery. Or you may be able to find a Eco-nique hemp Nook cover at Amazon or even eBay if you want to enjoy it sooner. Look for hot Deals on Black Friday for Nook covers and maybe even the eco-nique if you are lucky.

One downside so far with the Kindle for iPhone is that Kindle newspapers, magazines and blogs are not currently available on the iPhone or iPod touch - maybe they will add that functionality in the future (but then why would you need to buy a Kindle? So maybe not). But there are plenty of free Kindle books for the iPhone (and iPod Touch - geez they should just call them your iDevices it would be simpler to write about them!)

I've been dreaming about the iPod Touch lately (well not literally, unless you count the one where I show up at school naked wearing nothing but an iPod Touch) so this gives me one more reason to take the plunge - if you already have one and have been on the fence about getting an Amazon Kindle than perhaps the Kindle app is your solution.

What books have you enjoyed on your Kindle or iPhone? Please share inquiring minds want to know...

Anyway, I was researching eco-friendly Amazon Kindle e-books for a project and I came across Ed Begley Jr's book "Living Like Ed: A Guide to the Eco-Friendly Life". While I don't own a Kindle as of yet (I'm still mixed on whether it is really more eco-friendly than books - not to mention cost friendly) I was very intrigued to read the book. So in my effort to one up the debate of Kindle downloads vs buying books I opted for the debatable most green option of reserving it from the library. While I wait, and eagerly anticipate writing my eco-friendly book review I appeased myself with tantalizing tid-bits from other satisfied readers. (Currently five stars with 25 reviews from Amazon)

Within the book you'll find suggestions to green your life in six areas including home, transportation, recycling, energy use, garden and kitchen, and clothing and skin care. Many items are common sense like turning off the lights when you leave a room, others may be a bit expensive for the everyday family like buying solar panels to get you off the grid, but other green tips are very helpful and easy to do like disconnecting unused gadgets, chargers and appliances which can save up to 10% on your electrical use.

I'll give a more in-depth review once I settle down to a warm winters night with Mr Begley, um well his book at least, until then please share your comments below or join me in reading Living Like Ed: A Guide to the Eco-Friendly Life in your preferred method of reading enjoyment - book form or Kindle form.
