Hey everyone. I just purchased this black case on ebay for 5 bucks. I'll leave a review once I receive it but here is the link.

It will be a while before you get it since it is from Hong Kong, so please don't forget about the review in 2 to 3 weeks when you finally get it! Especially curious since the last picture is a Nokia phone.
I bought one from a usa seller should get this week.

I think that last picture is the same for every style phone. I found a thread on XDA about the same case for the N1 and it had very good reviews. But I'll be sure to follow up with my review and photos.
Any update on this case? Does it provide enough protection?

Still waiting on delivery. Supposed to get it by the 27th. Will post photos and give a review.
I got my case. I like the case a lot. It looks great how the glossy finish matches the dell perfectly. The case is bendable and offers a very snug fit on the streak. The only thing that should work better is the button pressing needs to be pressed with some force.

REVIEW!
Hey everyone! Just got my case in today that I ordered on ebay from seller dcmugen88. I purchased the "JET BLACK Epik Case TPU Jacket+anti Dell Streak Mini 5".
I ordered the case on December 12 for $4.99 and received it today. Free Shipping is included but the estimated shipping time was between 3 and 4 weeks. I was able to expedite the shipping for an additional $1.94 and delivery was estimated between Dec. 20th and Dec. 27th. So all in all, I paid $6.93 for the case and it took 12 days to receive. The seller is shipping from Hong Kong and I received it via USPS.
My first impression of the case upon opening was excellent. Here's a shot of the case in it's packaging.
Included with the case is a clear screen protector. This is a nice throw in...especially for $4.99. I don't currently have a screen protector on my streak, and I'm not sure that I'll apply this one. Since the screen is made from Gorilla Glass, it should be able to withstand normal wear and tear. I'm pretty easy on my gadgets as well...so I have that going for me =) But the screen protector looks to be your average mill. It's not the rubbery kind like the invisibleSHIELD made by ZAGG (which I had on my captivate and hated!).
Free screen protector
Back to the case. The case is very sleek and thin. It's not much deeper than the streak itself. Here are a few photos without the phone in the case from different angles.
This is a form fitting case. I previously had a vinyl skin from Skinit. So when trying to put the case on, it was catching on the edge on the skin. I decided then and there to take the skin completely off and I'm glad I did. The case and phone together look NICE! It's the perfect combination with the black glossy case and large glossy screen. I forgot how good the phone looked with the full screen in all it's glory.
Front screen shot
Rear shot
The functionality with the case on the streak is pretty good. You don't have access to the buttons on the side/top (depends on how you hold it). It definitely takes some extra pressure to control the volume and to press the wake/power button. This isn't a downfall though. I actually like having the buttons covered. It makes me feel like I won't press them inadvertently. There is a cutout for the 1/8 inch headphone jack for easy access.
You have full access to the PDMI port on the bottom/side of the phone. There is no plug in that covers the opening like in the otterbox cases.
Side view
The back of the case has a opening for the speaker, but there isn't one for the dell logo. I consider this a good thing since there is less chance to get debris/trash in the phone which could potentially scratch it. There is a cut out for the camera and dual LED flash as well.
OVERALL:
This is a great case! You can not beat the cost at roughly 5 bucks. I saw in earlier in the thread that some XDA members were buying their cases in the States, so you might find a better deal elsewhere (maybe somebody can post a link?).
My concern with cases in general is that they will be too bulky. This case is the opposite of that. I notice virtually no difference in the feel of the phone w/ the case on in my pocket. It does feel a little more substantial in the hand...but I think that's good. Having the phone with only a skin on it made me feel like I needed to handle it with kid gloves. That's not the case anymore (pun not intended).
There are many other colors available on the sellers ebay store. He also offers different deals. 5 for $15. 2 for $7. That kind of thing.
My sister and her husband just ordered the red unlocked streaks of dell.com and are due to receive them in January. They just ordered their clear cases tonight.
Okay...that's all I have. I hope this helped everybody and feel free to pm me or post in this thread.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Got mine today too. It is nice for the price.
I to have bought this case in jetblack. Love it. If you can wait it out from hong kong, the $5 price is a really good steal! Fits perfect!
But I will suggest. Put 2 pieces of clear tape in the inside of it where the Dell Logo sits at on the back where the battery cover is. If not, give it some time. It will eventually pull the ring off of the Dell Logo. When I noticed, I put the Ring back on the battery cover, and put the pieces of tape in on the case itself. Works fine!
Ordered mine last night
This case is by far the best looking case for the dell streak. It might not offer the protection like a otterbox but it defintely looks great.

I remember emailing dcmugen88 ages ago to make a case for the Streak, he said that it wasnt possible at the time but good to see its been made.
I placed my order today for my red streak. Thanks for posting this thread!
I got the same black shiny case. I don't like it at all. I wanted a rubber gel case like the hd2 comes with, so i can put it on and take it off easily. The details say rubber gel, but its more like soft plastic and its tough to get it on and off because the corners are to tough to fold back. I only need to use a case in certain situations, so this is garbage to me. Let me know if anyone finds one that is real soft gel like the hd2 came with.

I had a case made from the same material for a Nokia e71 - it was great. All the benefits of a silicone case without the lint collecting or pocket clinging.
I had hoped to get on for my streak but I couldn't find anything and finally dropped the money for the Otterbox Commuter. I've very impressed with the Otterbox, but I think I would have been just as happy with this.

Got this from Clove this morning.
Seems fine. Obscures top 15% of front facing camera ... but aside from that a good fit.
Not sure how solid it is in 'stand' mode
Just waiting for the delayed screen protectors now.

Now that is a nice case... If I had not yet ordered my Zenus case, I would have gone with this one. Price is cheaper than the Zenus case and it looks like its much better quality than the original Samsung one. Having said that, I do love the Zenus cases...

That's a nice looking case, but I contacted them and they have no stock atm. They're expecting them to be in stock by the end of the month.
Also...they don't ship to eu and their eu shop doesn't list the galaxy tab case at all...damn...it does look nice..!
I received my Samsung case yesterday and it has already been binned. An absolutely awful product. The bottom band 1/3 covered the capacitance buttons making the Tab very difficult to use. A complete waste of £18.99!
Looking on the internet reveals that all the better cases seem leave the buttons completely unobstructed, it's almost as if the manufacturers took a few minutes to actually look at and think about the product they were actually designing the case for.
It is pretty odd and more than a little annoying that Samsung endorse this rubbish as an 'official' case and secondly didn't include any kind of cover for a premium £500 device in the box.
That said I really can't rate the Tab highly enough, truly brilliant device. I never was sold on the ipad due its massive size/weight (may as well carry a laptop) and nothing on this earth would force me back to the hell of itunes.....
I have that same case and love it. Its actually cheaper at verizon stores for $39.99 and even cheaper if you have employee discount through your employer.

I've got the schoshe case also, picked it up today with my new tab and so far so good. The case is rather expensive at 49.99 from the tmobile store however it seems like it's high quality, leaves the tab 100% functional, and has a couple different angles for landscape view when you want to prop it up.
Wish the Schosche case as available in Canada. Let's see if I can find one in South Jersey and have it shipped to my dads.
Piel Frama also has their Tab case. Expensive and takes 15 days to deliver.

The one on Broadway and Waverly Place carries one and an Incipio case as well. I like the one from Verizon Wireless more though. It's a grainier leather.
this one: http://www.scosche.com/products/sfID1/337/sfID2/370/productID/2054
seems to be the same type of case and it says it's only leather texture. That would explain the odd chemical smell mine has been giving off since I got it. Still a nice case though.
I'm thinking of getting Zenus case, then I changed my mind when I saw T-Prop standing case, and I think I might get that one instead. Since I'm still new, can't post a link yet..
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I picked up one from the T Mobile store on 36th street and 8th avenue. This is a very nice case indeed.
Here's my Incipio case that i bought from tmobile store for $49. I love this case a lot as it looks good on my tab and protects it at the same time. It's similar to the otterbox defender case with dual layer protection a rubber inner layer with a hard plastic shell on the top it even has a stand. This model is not listed on their website yet, grab one on your local tmobile store and you wont be dissapointed.
Here's the picture i took:

I got the official "Samsung Galaxy tab Leather book cover" today. No problems with the camera hole. Nothing in the way of capaticance buttons. Fast access to SIM, MICROSD, buttons etc..
Real leather, slim and stylish. Aprox 25 EUR here in Norway.
The tab fits nice and is hold in the case same way as the Zenus.
Must be two cases from Samsung for the tab. The case I got is totally different from what is described in this tread
The smoke argyle TPU case you may have seen on amazon, but is unavailable, is for sale on ebay.

I think the seller account belongs to tpu-cases.com. According to the ebay item page, they will have new colors on Jan. 24. Red Argyle, High Gloss Black, Matte Black.
I was about to pick up this tpu case, but since I already have the Amzer black silicon, I'll wait till some of these come out and see which one I like better. Or I might just pick up one of those 4 for $12 deals from Hong Kong.
Anyone have this argyle case yet and willing to tell us how it is?
I got one. Fits great and looks good. Got it from tpu-cases.com. very cool guy and ships quick.

I have it, the fit is amazing. There is one problem though, the power button is very hard to press and detect by touch. I catch myself trying to press the wrong end of the phone, which creaks a bit now. I am reminded now of how bad a design it is to have the power button directly opposite the volume buttons. With this case I end up changing the volume while trying to press the power button.

What do you mean by creaking?
Ordered from TPU's official website yesterday.
This was my first case for the Nexus One back when it launched. The fit was a bit off, but I still liked it a lot.
Buying one, its only about 16 bucks at Amazon... so I will just get this and see why everyone is falling in love with TPU.
I ordered one but from a different ebay seller.
it was less than $2 shipped but coming from China, so it's a bit of a wait.

I received the second one that you ordered few days ago, really good fit, the only problem is the volume buttons are a bit hard to press...
actually i also ordered the first one you mentioned and waiting for it will post an opinion when it arrives.
Well I now ordered from Ebay because I am not waiting for Amazon, plus the shipping is essentially the same, but I don't have to wait for Amazon to restock....
Got mine from tpu cases site and its got great build quality. Beware that its a tight fit and will not fit properly if you have a vinyl skin on the body of the phone like zagg or ghost armor (full body, not screen protector). I might throw mine up for sale because of this. Does look nice on the phone though and doesn't look like it will scratch the phone like the platinum/seidio case will.

Appreciate the info and the update.
How does this look where the screen is curved? Is there a lift on the lip or is it flush on the edge of the screen? I like the gel or tpu case much better then any other hard plastic case.

there is a lip on the front. it is kind of useful because it allows your screen to be placed facedown on a table without any contact with the screen itself. adds a slight bulk to it though
Mine shipped on the 16th and still hasn't arrived....
Anyone get the high gloss solid black yet?? Mine's on the way but probably won't come til tomorrow. Never had a TPU case before so I'm pretty psyched to check it out.
I'm not crazy about the argyle/charlie brown design though, that's why I opted for the jet black. Hope it's nice...
Clay from TPU is sending me the Smoke, Red, and Jetblack TPU cases sometime this week. I'm going to have a photoshoot with them so you guys can have a better look at them.
Got mine (Smoke). Great fit though it seems like the left side isn't as snug as the right side. Not noticeable unless you're picky, and it doesn't make a difference protection wise. It just looks a tad bit off.
I think I want the red one....
My jet black one came from TPU-Cases today. I am so so SO pleased with the appearance. You really wouldn't even know there's a case on it - looks that slick to me.
I am however extremely sad with the power button performance. Coming from amzer's jelly, the buttons worked IMO better than if naked. It's very tough to use the power button with this case on.
I wonder if putting a tiny something in between the case and the button would improve this?

Although mine is apparently the old version. BSCstore is sending me a new version for free and not making me send the old one back. This old one lacks the sleep/wake function that was listed in the Amazon posting. They actually proactively emailed everyone who ordered one of these old ones stating that Amazon put up some stock of the old cases and were not supposed to. (They were sold by BSCstore but fulfilled by Amazon) (As you can see one person gave a 1 star rating before they received the email apparently). I assume the new case will be the exact same with the addition of an embedded magnet.
I must say this "old" one fits the Nexus perfectly. As you can see from the pictures the case isn't really all that "slim". The materials used do not really allow it to be a thin case. I knew this from my transformer prime and kindle fire cases, which were the same. The inside is like a microfiber-like material and the outside feels like leather, though for the price I am kind of surprised it is actually listed as leather. I really like how it doesn't cover the bezel and the stand functions perfectly. The corners of the case are also protected as well as any case could protect them. The cover of the case can be folded over completely backwards as well which is important to me. Some cases cannot do this, surprisingly.
There are two Elastic straps on the case which I will never use. One, I assume, is to hold the cover shut. However, the latch/clip thing is tight enough that I do not think that small elastic band is at all necessary. The second elastic band thing is to put your hand in. I wouldn't really be bothered to use this unless I was a door to door salesman or something and had to carry the tablet all the time. They are nice features I suppose if you do need them.
There is also a stylus loop which I will not use. In fact, I may cut it off. However, it is a nice addition for those who will use a stylus.
The only thing I don't like is the speaker grill is half covered and I know from taking my back cover off that there are two speakers behind that grill and one of them is behind the case no matter what position the case is in and that no matter which brand you go with (blurex, poetic, moko, etc). From the pictures I have seen on Amazon they are all designed this way. Not sure why they didn't extend the cutout over the entire speaker grill. Maybe the "new" version has changed this but I doubt it. I am guessing the way the case folds in that spot prevents them from manufacturing it with the hole extending to both sides of the fold for some reason. I have not done extensive testing but I have no doubt it will affect the sound coming from the device and would probably be most noticeable while watching movies or listening to music.
Edit - Here are a few pictures of the replacement showing the new cutouts for the speaker and that there doesn't appear to be an obvious area where they just haphazardly stuck a magnet. They did a good job of hiding it. Also, with the last picture I am just showing that the tablet remains on when the cover is flipped all the way around.
Great looking case,I ordered the poetic version and its already shipping

Ordered mine a few days ago, it looked like the best option on Amazon and for $10 what a steal. Don't have my nexus 7 yet, its sitting in my desk at work. I'm sure I will be really productive tomorrow. It's the 16gb model too.

That looks pretty nice. I was hesitant to order one because I could not tell if the front cover would fold back all the way when not using the stand functionality. I might pick it up if I don't like the case I have coming via USPS later this week. Thanks for the impressions and photos.
Thanks for the review. Looks good. I would get that if only it came in any other color that's not black. I'm leaning towards the i-blason one cause it has color but it's twice as much as this one

Thanks for the review. I'm considering this as a free replacement.
I also just got this case using expedited shipping. Took 2 days from Hong Kong!
I do like it however there seems to be one serious flaw. The magnet that turns the screen on and off is strong enough to affect the N7 when the front flap is folded back. So the N7 turns on when I fold open the flap but turns off again when i fold the flap over to the back of the device.
Makes it difficult to hold.

Yeah if the replacement i get has that flaw.i wouldn't use it.
Looks nice. I'm going to snag the 360 version because I like the portrait mode stand option.

Found a workaround to the wake flaw and that is to place a small paperclip or some other thin piece of metal between the back of the Nexus 7 and the case back.
The company in Hong Kong are looking at a permanent solution.

Do they have the newer ones in stock now?
I got mine the mail today as well. It is a great landscape case but not so much for portrait. Hopefully the new one improves on the portrait usability.

Just got this email:
Dear buyer:
Thanks for purchasing MoKo slim-fit case for your Nexus 7. We are sorry to inform you that we have found some issue with the built-in magnets in cases that are scheduled to ship today. The magnet is installed to support the smart wake/sleep feature of Nexus 7 but unfortunately it would also put the Nexus to sleep when the front cover is folded against the back, due to the slim profile of this particular case. We are sure you would not like to purchase a case like this and this is not a case we would sell either. But we have decided to ship this current case to you to provide a TEMPORARY solution to protect your Nexus before you get the the improved replacement from us. We have taken measures to rectify the issue in our future production and the replacement cases should be ready sometime next week. The fully working replacement case will be shipped to you at no extra cost and you don't have to return the temporary case. You may want to remove
And please let us know if you would like us to make other arrangements for you. We can also provide any of our Nexus 7 cases as a free substitute if you prefer. All other nexus 7 cases we carry come with the smart wake/sleep function but don't have the same issue as the "temporary case" has. You can check the selection here:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_p_6_0? rh=n%3A172282%2Cn% 3A!493964%2Cn%3A541966%2Ck% 3Amoko+nexus+7+case%2Cp_6% 3AA2VT4H683M5NNA&bbn=541966& keywords=moko+nexus+7+case&ie= UTF8&qid=1343164562&rnid=303116011
Again, we are very sorry for the situation and all the inconvenience caused. We will try our best to make the purchase right for you and we will make it right.
Thanks,Jim from BSCstore.

Nice, I got pretty much the same email but mine was in regards to the original case without a magnet at all. I wonder how much money this company is loosing with all these free cases they are giving out? I suppose they will stick a sheet of thin metal behind the magnet in the final version or something based on that person's comment about the paper clip fixing the issue.
I suppose the new August 6 ship date on Amazon is referencing when they expect the final version to be released.
I got the same Email today, but the link they gave for the temporary case they're sending includes multiple cases, anyone know which case are they sending us as a temporary replacement?
I have the poetic version and got the email today.

Update: my case came today and it definitely has the problem. I am either going to cut the magnet out or try to get a steel shield to work.
Update 2: I taped a few washers to the case under the N7 where the magnet lines up...success! My ghetto-case is fully activated!

Question...on amazon the 360 version is listed as .6' thick. The regular slimline is .8??? Does that make sense? I was thinking of getting the regular version..one being reviewed her because I thought it would be slimmer?

That doesn't seem to make sense, but nevertheless I'm also in for the rotating version. I have the Blurex cases (the original awful one and then the moderately better one they sent as a replacement), but they don't rotate and also I've realized that it's infinitely annoying to have a case that covers the bezel like the Blurex ones because it makes it frustratingly difficult to swipe down the notification bar. I actually don't understand why they didn't at least make the bezel coverage area narrower. In any case, the Moko doesnt' cover the bezel at all, so I think it will work well.

Hey everyone!
I know there have been other threads about cheap neoprene sleeves, and pouches, but I have found an interesting neoprene sleeve.
It is made by Amzer, and has a very unique feature that I have not seen in any other neoprene sleeves.
Here are some pictures:

}
Notice on the right that there is actually an extra layer INSIDE the pouch.
It sells for $19.95 USD, plus shipping costs depending on your region.
Here is a video on the sleeve:
EDIT: Thanks to Sqaures, here is a short review of the sleeve:
For those who are interested in ordering, you can check it out on their official site HERE
It is also available on Amazon. LINK: Canada, US, or UK
EDIT: Thanks to KryptosXLayer2, people who live in the US can get it HERE for a much cheaper price.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to get my hands on one of these for my Nexus 7 , but hopefully will be able to get one soon :good:.
Just wanted to share my findings , also if anyone has found a similar and cheaper product please share! I have been looking desperately haha.
hi!
Thanks very much! I think i've settled on wanting pouch now after nearly every case is leather style!!
You are very welcome , glad I could help! What type of leather cases have you tried so far?
I've not bought any but i've seen a couple and i just find the leather look dated! plus some of the designs add too much bulk imo!
I was hoping for more of an iPad smart cover look but i suspect Asus and Google didn't fancy a law suit!
Yea, I have done my fair share of searching. I just want something to protect my tablet on the go, a pouch is great for that. No zippers, metal/rough edges, just neoprene .
Just ordered it. should get it next week!
Look forward to the review, the dimensions look tight!

Arrived today!
This pouch is great, has space of accessories (e.g. my OTG cable and headphones) and it fits really well.
the flap at the top is a bit tight to undo as you have to turn it inside out but that will loosen up over time. overall i'm pretty impressed, hopefully the images i've attached will be of some use

got mine today, looks great, i hope it will endure the foldings you have to do to open/close it.
I've got a Cruzerlite case on mine and wondered how easy it would be to insert / remove from a neoprene case - anyone have any experience with a case? I like this one, but saw some really cheapy ones similar to it on eBay for A DOLLAR, SHIPPED:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Neoprene-Sl...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item4169968faa
What makes this worth $20 compared to the dollar neoprene case? I'm not being harsh, there were people on the Cruzerlite thread saying the same thing about $5 TPU cases and the Cruzerlite not being worth $20, but I liked the Android Clone Army on it, okay, so there.... Just want to know why I should go with this before I spend the money, I like the second pouch on the inside, but if you're not planning on bringing cables with you, is it worth it?
EDIT - also found this one on eBay for $17.57 shipped currently:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Amzer-Neopr...536299?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item33799b0bab
@KryptosXLayer2:
Great find on eBay for people who live in the US, I'll update the original post.
As for the reason that this sleeve is different from other cheap ones, as mentioned in the first post: The sleeve has an extra layer on the inside to store accessories.
Cables, headphones, OTG cables, memory cards, etc...
I would definitely buy other cheaper ones if there were any out there. But it is the only one I found with such a feature. Just thought I'd share .

Oops, just bought the last one.... Was going to buy two of them since I just got my girl her own N7, but I got her a cheap one I found on Amazon instead:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008G3MHEK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
I bought a neoprene case off of amazon for 5 bucks. Works good.
Got a cheap neoprene sleeve off of fleabay £1.50 inc delivery.

Tried and returned...
Just too tight to get pocket flap back over N7.
I worried either screen would crack or sleeve would tear - it was that tight.
Looking for top zippered sleeve, suede a plus...

It is definitely NOT that tight.... I have a TPU style case on mine and it isn't nearly tight enough for me to be worried about cracking screens or tearing the neoprene case - no need to worry, you aren't buying from some cheapy manufacturer, if something tore on it, I'm certain Amzer would replace it
Mine definitely WAS that tight - tired pulling it different ways, setting device in front of or back of seams, etc - tried pulling on angle cuts, pushing in depth first, etc - mine was TOO tight after many tries, sent back.
First off, let me describe what I look for in a case/ sleeve.
First and foremost, I want a premium look and feel, preferably leather, but other materials will do. I paid a large sum of money for this gorgeous tablet, and I would like to put it in a gorgeous case. In my opinion, getting a slim tablet and putting it in a tank like case defeats the purpose of the tablet being thin in the first place.
Typically the premium factor is limited to sleeves. I have not found any high end leather CASES, they're all either pleather, or low quality leather, and look poor on the tablet. Also most leather cases that double as stands look weird, or have too much excess material to secure the tablet to the 'board' of sorts on the back of the case.
Shown here:
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimbook-Leather-Function-Warranty/dp/B00A6X4048/ref=pd_sim_pc_2
As far as cases go, cases that have a cover, but then fold back to form a weird angled stand like so: http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Google-Elastic-Included-Warranty/dp/B009RZPH1G/ref=pd_sim_pc_10
are just weird in my opinion, they look odd, and I don't want that much snapping on and off the corners of the tablet, it'll create ware.
However Sleeves often do not have a clasp, or a securing mechanism, but as far as I can tell, friction will do it's job of keeping the tablet in the case, especially due to the Nexus 10's grippy back.
So far I have found two cases that employ both form, function, and a premium feel.
A sleeve: http://www.dodocase.com/products/durables-sleeve-for-nexus-10
(Although it is neither made of leather, nor does it have a clasp)
and a Case: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimbook-Leather-Function-Warranty/dp/B00A6X4048/ref=pd_sim_pc_2
(Also not leather, but the leather texture will do if realistic enough. At least I don't think it's leather)
I do have one question about the poetic slimbook case I just linked to, would the cover of that stay attached and covered if held upside down via a magnet of sorts, or is it rather flimsy, and just flops around, as a slave to gravity?
To close, I would like to ask a few questions.
Does anyone else have a want for a premium case or sleeve, or am I the only one?
Has anyone found cases or sleeves that are similar to the ones mentioned above (the last two, not the first two)?
Any word on that smart cover that the nexus 10 was unveild with, shown in the video from The Verge Hands on and such.
Also I'd like to mention that I'm really interested in buying a product from http://www.vajacases.com/ however they conveniently do not have a nexus 10 case.
You hit the nail on the head. My thoughts on cases are basically yours. And the Vajacases are really awesome but in my opinion too much premium and therefore too expensive. I think i'll wait for the verge-video-case which hopefully seamlessly attaches to the N10. It can't be too expensive as well. I'm curious when we'll get more information on the same.

If you want to send it up to me in Canada I will pay you full price. We can't get the poetic cases up here. Which one were you going to return?
There's a thread now in accessories with a video and pics of the poetic slimbook a guy just received. I also ordered one as there's only 3 left in stock and it looks good enough for me.

SF bags offer some good looking high quality sleeves.
http://www.sfbags.com/products/nexus-cases/nexus-slipcase.php. In this slipcase video, it shows kindle fire slipcase and it shows that even when turned upside down, the kindle won't come out.
they have plenty other choices but it's pre-order for now and start to ship at 11 december. The prices are kinda steep but since you don't care much about price, might as well try it out. Personally, i love the citysleek design.

I've looked through and seen all of the SF bags for the Nexus 10 a while ago, the suede jacket (http://www.sfbags.com/products/nexus-cases/nexus-suedejacket.php) seems to be to my liking. I personally would want something with a little more protection (I don't know how, but I feel like leather would protect it more than suede, despite them being virtually the same material).
The city slicker one is cool, and so is the out back one, but as far as the city slicker and other multipurpose/ travel/ compartmentalized cases go, I already have a North Face Surge bag, so I don't need any more space. I'm looking for a case or sleeve that would protect my tablet INSIDE of my other back, as well as protect it from day to day carrying outside of my backpack, such as if I'm driving to a friend's house, I'd want to case it and throw it on my passenger seat.
I know the previous sentance is a run on, but it's 4:30 am where I am, and I don't care about run on-s and grammar at the moment.

How about the SFBags Nexus 10 Smart Case? It looks to be right up your alley.

The Nexus 7 case was well reviewed. I'd like a quality case too, but $100+ makes me think twice considering the life of gadgets.
Thanks for the heads up. Looks like it's pre order now and becoming available at the end of the month.
Here is the sfbags.com sleeve with optional pocket for the Nexus 10. Ordered it Friday morning and paid for the FedEx ground delivery and was upgraded to the priority delivery for free and received it Monday morning. This thing is nicely made and it was exactly what I was looking for, tablet goes in snug and has 3 anchors to help to you insert it and remove it from the sleeve. The mesh pocket is a extra feature and I use it to carry my freedompop hotspot and a stylus pen. I am hoping that when the oem cover is release, it will fit without a problem but its a very snug fit.
Only thing I would change would be added a cord at the end to fully enclose the device inside. I paid $32 shipped to me.

I've actually been looking at this case since it appears that the nexus 10 is pretty similar in size to the note 10.1, and this case seems to offer good protection.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nimbus-10-U...1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1355416000&sr=1-1
Anyone know anything about it or have any opinions?
EDIT: On closer inspection it seems the nexus 10 is too wide. Odd, I thought there was a different version of the case for bigger tablets but I can't seem to find it.
I just received an Ultimate Sleeve case from SFBags for my Nexus 10. This is one nice sleeve. It's very sturdy, well-made, and fits the Nexus 10 perfectly. I bought it to protect the tablet while traveling and I think this sleeve will do a far better job than the Case Logic case I bought and returned. I don't care to test it, but the SFBags sleeve has thick padding and the plastic insert sewn into one side should prevent damage for anything short of a drop-kick. I definitely feel a lot better about throwing my Nexus 10 into a backpack or suitcase. It's not cheap but it's worth it if you're looking for quality protection.
SF Bags Slip Case
Received mine yesterday. It is $36 (shipping included) well spent. It fits tight and looks good.
I got the CitySlicker from SF Bags. It's really a quality sleeve/bag. :good: I imagine it will be too big for some, but it's great having space for headphones and a cleaning cloth with the tablet at all times. Also looks and feels high end.
For the price, I sure hope it fits whatever I end up replacing the Nexus 10 with down the road!
I second SF bags. I have their slip case and couldn't be happier.
