How secure is the "snap-in" insert? Does the nook pop out easily?

Nook snaps in very securely! I hit it off my desk accidentally and it stayed in place! No damage to case or Nook.

It secures my nook pretty well it doesn't fall out , but it also pops out easily

The nook is very tight in the insert. Will not fall out. It is also easy to take nook out of.

My 7" fits snugly in the bottom portion of the frame but the top is not held in place Therefore should the folio get turned upside down the NOOK will (and does) Fall out. If you only need to protect your NOOK and make it more comfortable for reading this is a good buy as it is very well constructed otherwise I suggest a different style

No. Because it is a perfect FIT. Believe me is strong enough to protect your NOOK. I really like it!!!!

So far, my iPad reattaches securely. I've only had the keyboard folio case for a little over a month now, so I can't comment on the keyboard case long-term.

There is a curved piece that clips over very tightly and does not "pop" off. You almost have to have strong fingers to unpop it (the material like leather is tightly curled) from the edge of the Nook. Put it this way, I dropped mine in its closed case from 4 ft and it was unharmed and unopened. I think it is better than the ones at B+N.

Can't say I have, mine has always seemed pretty sturdy, in every position. Usually I have it in keyboard mode or fold it over and use it in tablet mode.

Mine is still fine no problem. The one thing I did notice is that it won't snap shut with the insert in it. (usb)

As it happens, I still have my old, original NOOK, and I just tried it out so I could answer your question. I'm happy to say that, yes, it fit in there very nicely. I think you will enjoy using it with your original NOOK.

Yes, the nook is held by velcro and removes easily. Are you planning on having the Nook in its own case plus the keyboard case? I think this would be too tight a fit.

The nook slides in and is held firmly in place with no possibility of falling out.

I keep the keyboard on the desk top so I can't speak for ease of use. However, if it helps, the keyboard tray is designed as a drawer. It has a front that flips up and snaps into place (I use it as a drawer). If you put the keyboard in it, it slides out easy enough and the front snaps down very easily. The hinges are plastic so I don't know how they'd stand up to repeated opening and snapping closed over time. I've used a desk with a slide out keyboard tray, and this seems like it would work just as easily as long as you kept the front flap unhinged so it laid flat.

I have the simplest Nook (no light and no internet, etc.) and it fits perfectly. Love it! Have had it over a year and it shows no wear.

Mine is pretty secure inside both covers. I definitely noticed issue 1 though. I was tearing out my hair wondering what was wrong with the mouse and why it wouldn't switch profiles. :o

No- it is more like a normal book would be. It doesn't flop open- so it has never wen an issue for me. The nook clips into a secure and safe holder inside that is small and convenient. This is the best cover I've ever had for my nook- trim and functional (no magnets or elastic needed).

There's a small prong that keeps the book cover in place. So long as the book you pick is big enough the cover will stay up. I've had my shelf installed for over a month and it hasn't slipped once.

Lots!! After you push the "eject" button under the cover and in the top right it will pop open about an inch and then you have too pull pretty hard to open it the rest of the way and it shouldn't damage anything. I noticed that as well but no problem just pull harder!
