I contacted BlurexUSA.com with the following:
Message: I had an HTC Flyer and i bought the Blurex case for it. I thought
it was the best case for any tablet.
I just bought a Google Nexus 7 and was wondering if you are planning to make
the same style case for the Nexus 7?
Thanks,
I just got this email back:
Dear Jeff,
Thank you so much for your feedback and interest in the Nexus 7 case.
We will have them available for purchase in 2 weeks!
I will keep you posted.
Have a great day,
Alex
Yeah I already saw it on Amazon for the low low price of 299.99
http://www.amazon.com/BLUREX-folio-Multi-Angle-Google-Tablet/dp/B008D2Q8RG
Damn, just saw this. I just posted the same thing in the cases thread. I do like the blurex cases. Great quality , good price .

I saw that too. Since they won't be available for 2 weeks, I can assure you that definitely isn't the price nor the correct one for the Nexus 7. It's just some dude selling the thing for over inflated prices. Probably because he saw people buying the IO version of the nexus for $500.
looks like this one that also has velcro feet..

I don't like the way most cases envelop the tablets, like the one in the above link.
Blurex one uses a different method. See the one for the Flyer. (I had the one with out the stylus holder)
This is the one for the HTC Flyer

That HTC flyer case has a different style than the Blurex case you mentioned, which on Amazon, also has velcro feet.
The HTC case uses grooves for its multi-angle points..Grooved designs are poor because a simple bump will knock your tablet down.

That is the one that I have. I bought it from Amazon.com. But I have the first gen one without the stylus holder. I didn't use the stylus so the two loops to hold the stylus didn't matter to me.
At night, I had it next to my bed and watched videos on it and I bumped it a lot and it never once knocked down. They aren't some flimsy case.
But, nonetheless, the people who like Blurex cases will be glad to know that Blurex confirmed that they will make this type of case.
You made your point in your OP . I myself was also in the market for this exact same style design with the velcro feet so the tablet doesn't slip. I contacted another manufacture and was bumed to hear they weren't making a case with that design for the Nexus 7 at this time. I was just point out other options given Amazon obviously has an incorrect price for your Blurex case. Which, if it turns out to actually be $29.99 ... the link I mentioned so happens to be $15 .. just sayin...

OMG people are so insipid. That is not the cost. They will be about $17-$20ish. T

Back to the original topic I emailed blurex to see if the cover will have the smart cover feature (since it is not mentioned in the feature list from Google I wanted to make sure they were tracking it).
Here is the response I got from them...
"Your excitement is rubbing off on us! As far as the rumors go, they are correct, we are making a case for the Nexus 7. You can expect a "smart cover" for the Blurex Nexus 7 case, because it has one. I'll be sure to keep you posted.

I just received this email directly from Alex at BlurexUSA. He had promised to let me know when these cases were available. There have been SEVERAL fake Blurex cases for the N7, they were NOT real sadly. This one is the first, one and only true Blurex case for the Nexus 7 and even better they have it up for 6 dollars! Normally I pay 30 for Blurex! Enjoy guys!
EDIT: Actually I have been told there was at least one of these *fake* items that was in fact a pre-order to the real case. So even though it was only released today, they have been purchased. So if on the top of the page it says you've already ordered this item, then you are good. Though I would suggest ordering at least 1 more while they are 6 bucks!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Robert!
GRRRREAT news! The case for the Nexus 7 is now available.
Here is the link to the Amazon webpage:

I don't get it. that's the same one people have been talking for a while now

Yeah because some people called the company and were told the case had not been released yet. Therefore everyone thought that the case was either fake or intended for another device and then relabled by a dishonest re-seller. But now it is "released" and it's officially a nexus 7 case made by Blurex.
But unfortunately that one that you suggest is not the great Blurex Case (like I had for the HTC Flyer).
This one does not cover the bezel!
I just got an updated email from Alex at Blurex and the one like I am looking for, will take just a little longer. He provided the link on Amazon for it.

Digging that one, i was starting to fear they would not be making one like that. Oh well, cancelled my *second* Blurex order. So I have the 6 dollar case coming and I will buy this one when it is released Thanks for the find!
But its not sold by Amazon or Blurex themselves, its sold by some random seller in the OP link so I wouldn't take the risk

Blurex doesn't have a store on their website. They are in Taiwan. They offer their items through authorized amazon dealers. The only way to ever buy their stuff is through sellers like that. This link was given DIRECTLY to me by Alex from BlurexUSA. It's legit.
I hope they're actually making that case specifically for the Nexus 7...because based on the speakers I can see in that picture (and the bulky thickness), that's a Kindle Fire (hoping it's just a placeholder image until they get an actual product in production). I have a Marware case for my Kindle Fire that does work for the Nexus 7 (I'm using it temporarily), but the side buttons are difficult to push (and impossible with big fingers). I would love it if they made one just like that for the Nexus 7 with slots for the buttons as I love that style of case. Minimalistic.

Well until it arrives in 2 days time no one can say for certain, but the company provided the link themselves so the odds are, it's a placeholder image
I've shared a couple emails with alex from blurex. He said they will make a case with smart cover functionality.

Thanks for that information. I'll be getting a different case now but may get that blurex when it's released. I'm guessing it won't be much more then the ones without the magnet.
I really like mine (for the Fire). I have few requirements and the blurex is inexpensive, simple elegance.

it won't. they haven't released the smart covers yet, which is probably why they're currently unavailable on amazon. you should email the seller to cancel/hold your order and to get more details.
I want my 1 dollar back! lol. I like the other one coming out better, but the 6 dollar one will hold me over until it's out...I mean...it's 6 friggin dollars.
I ordered this
MoKo(TM) Slim Cover Case
and I just received a mail
"Dear buyer:
Thank you for your recent purchase of "MoKo case for Nexus 7 tablet"
from BSCstore via Amazon. And we are writing to let you know that we
will be providing a free replacement case that fully supports the
"automatic wake/sleep" function on your new Nexus 7 tablet. This is an
unannounced feature that we were not able to include in our first
batch of cases that were already shipped to you. But we will stand
behind our products and provide a fully compatible replacement within
5-7 days. You don't have to ship the current unit back and can use it
as the lay-over unit before you receive the updated version. We will
be sending you another email with details on how to obtain the
replacement units when they are ready."
Awesome.
That is very impressive. To bad I dislike the looks and the way it holds the tablet. But damn, I'll remember BSCstore / MoKo (or at least try) in the future.
Great customer service.

This is really awesome customer support. The case was already cheap at 6.99, but to offer a free replacement for something that's as small as this? kickass!
Same, just got my notification. Slightly disappointed, but impressed by the customer service!
I got the same email today. Now that is customer service.

Instead of them sending me the same one I think I'll see if I can get credit towards the Moko Slim Fit.
Yeah, they really messed up some of the orders. I bought a $12.99 case from them because it mentioned the sleep/wake function specifically. They sent me one of the $6 cases and will send another like the email said. I'm just curious what case it will be. The Amazon link now has a rotary case pictured with a Samsung tablet in it. It's nice that they let me keep the first one, but I hope the 2nd one is different beyond a magnet added to it.

I actually just bought this case as one to use until the official cases are released. Cool to see it will now come with the sleep capabilities.

Hmmm, be careful though, looks like they just edited the $12 case Item Title and Features section and removed the Auto Sleep/Wake description. Quite confusing at this point.

Agreed.... They emailed me too and said that I be able to exchange it for any case that they are about to release. I ordered the cheap slim fit case, however it looks like they have a few new cases that are much more to my liking on Amazon. What great customer service. I have to admit I am shocked. They earned my respect and business for a while. :thumbup:
Additionally it looks like the new cases will not be released until the 23-25th of July 2012. This is my old case with the new arrival date:

Curious when someone receives the "slim fit" if it has speaker holes. Looks like a nice case.
Ok, I have a 10" plain Targus pouch I used with my HP Touchpad last year, but it clearly is twice as big as my nexus.
This was the only case I was able to find with similar padding to the touchpad case I have. Are there any better/cheaper suggestions out there? (I only say cheaper because I have seen many cases going for $5-10)
I also found this but I have no idea if it's as well padded as the case I linked earlier.

I just received the T-Mobile Tech21 Universal 7 inch Leather Sleeve from All4Cellular (can't post the actual link since I'm new, but just go to their site and search under the name or search for D3O). It uses D3O anti-impact technology and I could not be happier. The Nexus 7 is quite snug inside and it even comes with a strap that allows you to pull the tablet out quite easily. I have to say that I am quite happy with it as it almost feels like it was made for it.

I really like Waterfield, too -- I have had several laptop cases from them. Pricy, always, though; and I'm still kicking myself over giving away the netbook case (don't judge ) with the netbook.
It looks like they updated that page with one just for the Nexus 7, now, too! I had one of their ultrasuede pouches for a phone once too, it was very nice.
I'm debating between their bag you bought and their travel case (for the Galaxy Tab 7, but with the size it should be enough). Basically I was thinking of getting one with the straps; I have a quick question, about the Ultimate Sleevecase, though, if you don't mind. I can see on the page that it has the back envelope area like their laptop cases, how much room is there in that? Can you slide a USB cable in there, for example, or a phone? Thanks!

Here is an excellent pouch that is similar to the roocase that others have pointed out, but much cheaper. I received it the other day (still waiting on my N7) but the quality and padding on this thing is fantastic! It comes in 4 or 5 different colors (I purchased black) and it only costs $6.99, free 2-day prime shipping. Love it!
One of the image notes says an N7 fits in it nice and snug. It's the best zip sleeve I could find for the quality/price/shipping time. And the reviews all have 5 stars, so others seem to like it as well.
I cannot post links yet, so search Amazon for: "Neoprene Zip Sleeve Case Cover" and it will be the top results.

Here you go. In the back pouch I have the Nexus 7 USB cable and charger as well as my old Droid X. That's about all I could fit in there though.

Wow -- thanks! That's perfect. Seeing that the charger can squeeze in the back makes me think it can handle whatever I wanted to throw at it.
Just got this email from them saying its on the way. They make great stuff. I might be holding off on buying a case for this one. What you guys think?

By the time they come out with it there will be a hundred others just the same, this Chinese one on eBay is very similar to the fit folio http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150880476182 and is available now. Can't speak for the quality mind you but I've ordered one for the hell of it.
Cool beans. Let's hope they have better patterns/designs then the iPad 3 versions.
It looks like Speck hasn't come through yet. Fortunately, Devicewear The Ridge is a pretty exact ripoff:

How can they rip off a product that desn't exist?

That's pretty much what I'm looking for, but that price stings a little bit (unless it's free 1 day shipping - just my 2c though). There's enough generics on Ebay for me to consider one of them and to just eat the typically longer ship time.

Comes in red, blue or black. Only part I'm iffy on is the belt buckle thingy. Looks nice, but a tad pricey IMO. Sorry for the big pic, lol.

Thanks for this! I had been checking the Speck site for months and had given up.

Anyone get their hands on one of these yet? I'd like to hear some opinions on if it's worth the price or not.

I was even kind of at the Amazon one @ 25, but 35 is enough that I'd pass. Though it does make the Amazon unit look more appealing all of the sudden...
Dang, I'm frugal.
EDIT - Though, looking at it now, I REALLY don't like the Devicewear's clips... The Speck's are much nicer. Dang. Maybe I'll be eating my words.
EDIT II - Taking a closer look at the Speck case in the images, the quality looks absolutely superb. Perhaps it *is* worth it?
EDIT III - Curiosity got the best of me. Plus the free shipping helped. I talked to their customer service a bit on the chat system to get a feel for them since I haven't interacted with Speck or used any of their products before. I thought very highly of that experience. Ordered a black one.
sweeet, just ordered one.
tired of smelly cheap cases...
will report back when I get it.

Haha laughed my ass off. It is like the inner workings of my mind written for all to read. I just found the thread but am considering the case just because of this. Or actually I will wait until you get it and say it if was worth it. You can make it edit IV Thanks for the humor.

Sweet!
Could you tell us how much it weights ?
(amazon product page says 9.9 ounces ... which is almost as much as the nexus 7 itself!)
thanks in advance.
I just noticed Amazon has a couple in stock at a better price (at least in Black) so I ordered one with Prime, should be here Friday.

Ah well, I'm not losing any sleep over it. When I talked to Speck on their chat system I asked just how quick the free shipping was, mostly because I'm leaving for a trip on Tuesday and really want this case before then so it's not sitting on my porch for 2 weeks. They assured me the free shipping should land it at my house by late Friday or early Saturday, which of course would leave Monday as a decent backup since I'm not leaving until Tuesday. I also scored a 10% coupon code on the chat system... I just asked and they provided me with a one time use code. Not too shabby. Between that and the free shipping which seems moderately quick (whereas Amazon is 8.60 for 3-5 day shipping) I'm still pretty :good::good: with ordering from Speck.
Only thing is USPS Is kind of in regard to tracking info, which is how Speck shipped my case, whereas Amazon is solid (in my experience). So right now I have no idea where my item is besides the fact "it shipped."
Does anyone have an idea of how thick this cover is with the Nexus 7 is when the fitfolio is in the closed position?
Actually.. I'm more interested in what the cover looks like with the Nexus 7 when the cover is folded over for normal use. I can't seem to find a good picture of this with the kindle fire fitfolio...
Just ordered one in blue.

Normally these kind of things are not worthy of a thread but I had a hard time finding this case so hopefully I can help with this thread.
As of today, you can not find this on ebay, amazon, or other web stores found through google search
The only known website that has this is sprint.com and bodyglovemobile.com and they are both out of stock. I saw them in stock around 11/12 on both site so it's not those "we haven't updated our website" thing. It really is out of stock.
I called 7 official sprint stores in Los Angeles and only one store has it.
If you have a hard time finding it. Do a search on yelp and call around your local official Sprint store and refer to part number CZS5478Q. Non-official store are not owned by sprint so they will mostly not carry this accessory, don't waste your time on those.
The price is $24.99 + tax, sprint store currently has a 20% on entire accessory order if you buy 2 or more accessories. If you get a $9.99 screen protector you will end up paying $27.94 + tax. Just something to think about.
This case will fit Sprint, ATNT, TMobile version of the Note II and very likely international version as well. I believe there are also T-Mobile version and ATNT version of the bodyglove however I find the sprint model most pleasing to my eye.
Last thing I want to add is that this case is very slim. Doesn't add too much thickness like generic ebay tpu cases. The protruding protection edge to the screen is only about 1mm.
photos are not from me but from another XDA member cac9478 all credit goes to him for the wonderful photos.

Nice pictures... and firearms :good:
How does the back feel in the hand? Looks like kind of a rough texture.
Back feels great. It's not as slippery as the battery door. This thing is also super slim; exactly what I wanted. Better grip and a little extra protection without added bulk. Only thing less bulky would be a skin. If you're prone to phone drops this may not provide the best protection but I'm careful with my toys so I'm not worried. Had my friend who works for sprint pick one up for me. Saved me a few bucks

Interesting.
Wonder what version I have? It's sold in T-Mobile stores...
This is also a slimfit. Is yours the anti-microbial version as well?

feels great, I change phone and naturally the case as well.
The embedding diamond pattern is about 1/4mm for the "height".
It is not rough on the hand.
This is the best tpu case that I ever purchased.
Looks very nice. Going between this and the Blue/Black Seidio Active Case w/ Kickstand. Called all the local Sprint stores, no stock. I have a cheap $3 case on my Note 2 right now that I will keep using until I can get a hold of something better.
Here is a link on Sprint's Webpage if anyone needs it.

Does ur version (T-mobile) of the case slides in & out of the pocket easily?the material looks alike with those spigen sgp ultra neo hybrid cases..& they r easy to slide in & out of the pocket...could u please take a picture of the front side?..thanx for the info..
if any of you guys are interested, i have a bodyglove case i got from sprint store couple weeks back.
I bought a case from seidio and i am planning to return bodyglove case back to the store.
If any one is interested, i will sell it to you for the same price i got it +shipping 2.95. we can do paypal.
Hmm...I really want the case shown in the photos of the OP. I am investigating and will wait around with one of the cheap cases til it is available. It's GORGEOUS!!
Ok, just found one (the last one) in a local Sprint store. Still interested in finding this online though. My girl will want one of these for sure!!
Just wanted to say thanks for this thread. I did manage to grab the last one at my local sprint store and grabbed one and I am happy with it. Wish the edges were a little firmer but it feels nice and doesn't add any bulk. HATE paying 25 for a thin piece of plastic but i guess it is what it is.

Here you go (its indeed a nice case): Body Glove Refined Gel - #CZS5478Q
Does this case fit nice and tight? I have a nillkin and I like how tight it fits, anyone had both that can compare them?
Looks like the link has been removed.
Anyone have another link?
I'm in Australia and I'm trying to get someone to buy it on my behalf but the link I gave them no longer works.
