cases/covers - Nexus 7 Accessories

since this is sold through google play store, will any store such as amazon.com for instance sell cases and such, the galaxy tab 2 7.0 has pretty much no cases and if they do there just kickstand type cases. mabye if this gains popularity it will get actual cases like otterbox and stuff.

Yes, there will be cases but i wouldn't expect a large number to be available till the end of July

No doubt they'll be plenty of case options in time. Just subscribing to this thread so we can share all that comes out together here .

I'm in Canada so the case on the Google Play site isn't available to me, it just says to enter my email if I want to be notified when it's available.
I was wondering how much it's listed for on the US Play site?
Just trying to get an idea if I should bother to wait until it's available or just get a cheap generic 7" tab sleeve type case until more options come out.

Nexus 7 Cover (Dark Grey) $19.99

the case in the US store is $19.99 but in the UK store we dont have a price yet hopefully mobile fun or amazon will sell erm

20 bucks isn't too bad, although I'll probably just wait for a $2 TPU case from Hong Kong.

That's what I'm planning on doing, but I think I'll splurge and get one with a stand for $3

Uh-Oh
Um, I'm in the U.S., but I'm getting a Coming Soon for the case. I don't want to pay another fourteen dollars for shipping when it does come back. What should I do? Does anyone else see this? Did they really run out of cases before tablets?:crying:

I am hoping I can order a 2 dollar silicone case from amazon and have it ready when the device arrives

Pretty much every major device release sees the accessories out before the device gets into peoples hands.
I always find though that no matter how much I spend on fancy otter boxes and targus leather cases I end up using my $2 TPU case with the cheap screen protector it came with.

Never mind, the case is back up. And, I ordered ASAP this time. My $200 tablet turned into $300 by the time I paid for shipping and taxes, but it's still worth it.

Omg these cases are so lame I can't believe people buy into this. Preordered one and not gonna baby it

Update: Asus put out its own press release on the Nexus 7, and there's a few details in there worth noting. Covering the front of the Nexus 7 is a layer of Corning FIT glass, while the display itself features Asus "TruVivid" technology. There's no details on what, if anything, that means in reality — but the Nexus 7 does have an IPS display with a 178-degree viewing angle. Asus also claims up to 9.5 hours of battery life; that's more than Google claims, so we'll have to wait until our review to see how it performs in reality. Lastly, there was a little more detail on the new "smart cover" — it's polymer with a matte texture, and will come in six different colors.

Default Google Case
Im in Japan right now and am not able to see the default Google case, or even purchase it. I had one of my co-workers purchase the 16GB Nexus and the case from Google for me so it will be waiting for me when I get back to the States . I've looked at a couple pictures of the case, but haven't found any good ones.
Does anyone know if the case has a stand? I saw that it was a flip case, but I wasn't sure whether or not it was similar to the Apple Smart Cover.
Thanks in advance. I can't wait to get back to the US!

[EDIT]
Just saw the above post, guess I was three minutes too late...

cheap pouch i have found it
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160833190364?redirect=mobile

I really want a pouch or sleeve not any flip case. I will keep watching for these.

I want a case with a stand so i can prop it up and watch my movies.

Cases and Covers

My nexus 7 has arrived today from Ebuyer, which is a week earlier than i expected and so i don't have a cover. So i was just wondering where people have got a decent cover from for theirs?

THIS bad boy here!. I just got one for only 6 dollars after shipping. Hopefully it'll arrive the same time my n7 does, though it'll more than likely get here first.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008FXSC9U/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=computers&psc=1 looks quite nice. Also apparently uses the magnetic sensor in an iPad-esque fashion.
covers
there are many different brands for covers / protectors...i am looking into getting one also. I am stuck between trying out gorilla glass or a xoskin protector. Just cant make up my mind.
I bought 3 cases and 2 wires to use the computer headphones. Way cheapter than Amazons offer.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm 99% sure that Gorilla Glass is only available already on a device, not something you fit yourself.
Grabbed a Neoprene Pouch off ebay for 10$
I found this BodyGlove case @ Wal-Mart, it is very protective and fits like a glove.

17USD plus shipping. Looks nice and slim, BUT I had one in carbon fiber for my Kindle Fire and it was ok, but not great. I settled on the seidio active case for the KF. My "perfect" case search adventure continues!
I'm thinking long and hard about a treegloo case. I can't posts links but its treegloo.com . They are on the pricier side but I love the moleskine look.

Yeah, they look good alright. I wish there were more N7 cases available because I don;t know if I want to spend this much $$ on a case, but with the lack of options I just may. Their Ipad cases have the smart cover feature so I hope these cases do as well.
Edit: I just contacted TreeGloo and this case will also be a smart case. I'm scalping some concert tickets so I can justify spend 20% of the tablet cost on a case though but I really like the fact that the case looks like an old book cover.
I picked up one of these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Leather-Cas...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item4167b83d78
Mostly because I had $6.01 in ebay bucks that I needed to use... so it only cost me $0.58. It makes me laugh that it looks like there's an ipad in that picture. We'll see what it looks like when it actually gets here.
at some point in this forum, i came across a case that looked like a leather bound book, anyone have a link to that? I cannot find it, i even checked my history from today and cannot find it in there either, it's driving me nuts!

Interesting new Slim Case design

Haven't seen a thread on this yet, so here is another Nexus 7 slim case on Ebay.
It is different from the other Ebay Apple-like case.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Google-Nexu...Accessories&hash=item23212d5c16#ht_884wt_1041
The front looks quite slick.

Price at 19.99 is a bit steeper than other Ebay cases,
and its pictures do not show if we can fold the cover all the way back or if it's a Smart cover or not.
But I like its look, probably will wait to see other sellers posting the same one with more pictures and detailed description.
To be honest, that does look like one of the better looking cases on eBay. If you guys want, I can take it for the tram and review it when I get it? Hopefully by the end of this week.
It's the case I've been holding out for..... looks like the perfect case IMHO :beer::beer:

Although it does say that it will require 7-14 days for delivery, ill post the review as soon i get it.
Ugh... from china. Everything I've ordered on ebay from china is happy meal toy quality. Hopefully this case is the exception.
Looks nice minus the hump.

Also, in case if you guys were wondering, this isn't leather.
Its "Pu Leather" which is short for poly synthetic leather. As in, its a cheap less durable leather covering some piece of cardboard or something.
In fact, some countries like New Zeland and UK have banned the sale or use of "leather" for products with this type.
But I'll update you guys once I get this case.

Looks like a really nice case, but after reading this I might keep waiting... Waiting for a perfect slim case to be released before I buy one!
I bought one too, I'll take some pics when I get it in as well. I'll probably get this one from China before I get my darn Portenzo case lol.
I ordered one of these about a week ago, still waiting on delivery but will post my views on it when it arrives.
It looks like it arrived at the San Francisco post office, which is only 50 miles away so I may get my case tomorrow. If I do I'll post pics and my impression :good:
Interesting case, looking forward to your review.

Is this the perfect case? Slim, bezel-free & not pleather

I have been having a look on Alibaba to see what manufacturers are coming up with and I stumbled across this http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/625190932/Google_nexus_7_case_leather_case.html.
They seem to have got it spot on. Sadly I can't find any stockists yet on ebay or amazon.

It was already proposed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31250411&postcount=12
along with a similar one but the problem is that you need to buy at least 100 ... wholesale manufacturer
I asked the manufacturer (one week ago) if the cover properly fold all the way back, and if the auto sleep/wake function is triggered when the cover is fold back. still waiting for the answer. I also asked the ebay seller US Mobile Mall if they were interested in selling them, but no answer ...
Speaking of similar cases from alibaba wholesale seller I also found:

Cool lookin! I wouldn't mind getting this one as a backup.
I couldn't find anywhere that sells them either.

This is the best case yet and you only need to buy 20 cases. Its too bad I can't get a sample cuz Id definately buy 20 cases and sell them on Ebay if I knew that they were atleast the quality of those Blurex/Moko/IBlason Slim Folio Cases.

While I really like the originally posted case, that second-last one that you posted, NicoGa (canvas-style), is a dream case for me. I was looking for something softer, but most cases are either black/white leather or hot colours, so that very pretty case you found is perfect for me! Thanks a lot. I will order one and see how it works out.
That last case is also very nice, I like the gold colour a lot.
I prefer the official Asus Nexus Travel Cover to this.
Any news on that case? Anyone found it on ebay yet?
IT's not leather, it's FAKE!!!
Darn,
Just like some other vendors from the east, this one is also advertised all over as leather until you dig way down into the specifications.
Item name Google nexus 7 case, leather case for google nexus 7
Item number ST-GN7-CA018B
Materials PU
PU stands for.... drum roll please....... Poly Synthetic Leather. There's not even an atom of cow hide in that case. It's just like it sounds, pee yew.
Bad form Sintech!!!!
Not everyone needs a pure leather casing, I am totally fine with PU in this case. The outside doesn't even look like leather anyways.

I don't disagree with what you posted, I also have a PU case (Blu-Rex slim fit). It's that the OP was sure it wasn't "pleather", Rather than someone rushing out to purchase what they thought was a "real leather" case, it would be better if they purchased it for it's other merits, since it is not "real leather".
I like the design of this case. I can deal with the PeeeYuuuu pleather to have the bezel free design.
Oh I like this style, reply if you the find a place to purchase! Ebay and Amazon does not have any news Why?
Color me interested.
I wish the op would update the subject.... Pleather is not leather.
Wow, looks sexy!

looks really nice. I will go with a sleeve. love the feel of a naked device. But from what Ive seen, it seems like it doesn't have good padding
I ordered this pouch from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007R3Z5E4/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
Not as sexy as the leather sleeve, but the padding seems top-notch. At only $9.22, it's a great deal.
If anyone happens to spot a 10-inch tablet carrying case (one with a handle; like a laptop bag) for cheap and black, I'd be interested
Does anyone know if these cases will actually fit?
Isn't the N10 longer than typical 10" tablets?

My case arrived yesterday, and the Nexus 10 is out for delivery right now. I'll test it out when I get home from work and report back. The case does seem spacious enough to fit the N10. Either way, it's just an inexpensive temporary solution, until a good flip case comes out.
[deleted]
I've seen a few decent looking "folio cases" on Amazon, a few leather and a synthetic leather plasticky looking thing. They're not beautiful by any means but they're not horrible either. They would work. And they're not horribly expensive either. I'm hoping for just a flip cover for the screen, or one of those cases where it just slides in and has a cover that flips around to the back. I don't really need the one that folds into a stand, I think they tend to look uglier, but if I can find one that looks nice I'll go for it.
<rant> although it's somewhat irrelevant for now since I'm not even getting my n10 until monday thanks to googlegate shipping </rant>
I found this seems like a pretty good case for the time being until more come out, its a preorder

Hello, i found this

doing a quick search on samsung gives me this

I like using a nice padded sleeve when I'm not using my tablet and not having a case when I am using it. I know many people like cases, but I've never really understood why companies spend all of this time creating really cool looking, thin tablets (and if they don't, people complain) only to have users cover them up with thick rubber cases. The Transformer line is a great example. Weather it worked or not, the spun metal was really cool looking but I'd estimate 75% of users covered them up.

Hybrid Case from TVC-MALL

Hey guys, I have an Incipio Dual Pro, which I like, but it has a few negatives, mainly the silicone around the charging port flexes to much, and the back, while nice initially, scratched, and while I don't mind it, it doesn't look so good, since it had a brushed aluminum finish that now has shinier parts on it, etc.
Anyways, found this case on TVC MALL and it is basically an Incipio Dual Pro clone, with a few changes.
1. The inner silicone sleeve is permanently attached to the hard shell via an adhesive.
2. It isn't quite as ridgid as the Incipio.
3. The silicone feels of a bit lower quality.
4. It comes in more colors, and matte finish, and in my opinion looks better.
They are both equally as slippery. So it won't improve your grip. Also, the case is inexpensive, but shipping costs are on the high side, since it ships direct from China. Looking at around $10 or less total though for a single case. IF you add more items shipping cost per item will decrease, even though shipping itself goes up.
My brother and I ordered aroudn 25 cases, mostly iphone cases for my mom to decorate and sell on etsy, and it only cost around $36 I think total for the order.
Anyways, Pics are on the site, but thought I would link them here if the links work. I don't have any of it on my phone since my phone is my camera.

I just placed an order from TVC-Mall yesterday as well, ordered Defender and Survivor knock off cases Assuming you are in US, how long did it take for your cases to get to you? Yeah, the shipping turned out to be pretty high considering I got spoiled by $2 ebay accessories shipped free from China lol!!! So I ordered 4 cases (two for GN2 and two for my kids ipod touches - all brand name knock offs) and one pair of headphones (monster beat earbud knock offs) - shipping was $19 through China post with 15-20 day delivery. That's kind of high, but there is NO other place where I can order these cases, and honestly I ordered it mostly out of high curiosity to see how close they come to original Of course I will be realistic the quality will not be on the same level.

Go to www.case-parts.com (the same TVC Mall under a different name), and type in "otterbox" They have 1:1 Defender knock off (under Denfender name) in all 3 colors, just scroll down. They also have Commuter cases in various colors, but not for Note 2.
Thanks for the link. Bookmarked..
But how's the quality of the products?
Thats a great site, I bought that same case in the OP and a few other things. Awesome prices.

We have another thread going on about these knock off cases; 2 of the guys already got it and commented about Survivor case only:

I'm supposed to be getting both Survivor and Defender knock offs either today or on Monday. Since I have original Survivor for iPod touch, and had Defender (prior to returning it back), I will do a more detailed review/comparison with my comments soon. Stay tuned!
But in general, don't expect a great quality of material for something that costs small fraction of the price. I'm not saying that Otterbox and Griffin cases actually cost a lot more for them to manufacture since it made in China anyway. It's just that hose companies have a huge overhead and charge a huge premium whenever new case is released. I just saw original Otterbox Defender on Amazon for $35, down from their MSRP of $60 (still, how much they charge for it at Verizon store).
The reason why I'm personally excited to receive and to review these two cases because original Otterbox Defender had issues with its screen protector and I'm curious if knock off actually fixed it i Furthermore, Griffin never even released Survivor for Note 2.
recently, i found another site fg-mall.com, just another tvc-mall site, great site.
