NOOK color case with kickstand?

Im looking for a hard case that snaps to the back and has a kickstand like an EVO
i see some mentioned here that prop up but those are the leather/book covet type. Im looking for a hard one that pops on the back and has a kickstand that retracts when not in use

Evo user also. Kickstand on the NC would be so so awesome.

Found this baby today on Amazon. Says it goes on sale Feb 1.

I really should pay more attention. That's a Nook Case. They're close in size, so it may squeeze in. I should pay attention before I speak up. Allow me to offer this one instead.

The roocase is nice. I'm using it now. I good quality and durable, a bit on the thick side, it has multiple angle viewing for portrait mode, and will hold itself up in landscape too. Overall I like it better than any other cover available. You do have to unplug from power to open the case, this is very annoying. I I wish it moved the the plug to the side, but beggars can't be choosers.

I know that a company called Abas (do a google search for Abas Accessories if you're interested) will be having some cases for the NookColor in the near future. They will be similar to their Tabbed Folio cases for the iPad and have the kick stand built into the case for 2 different viewing angles. I am really excited - I've bought several notebook & iPod cases from them and they're beautiful cases.

I just ordered the roocase as well but then I realized it doesn't have holes for the speaker and amazon won't let me cancel it. Any ideas on how to "hack the case so I can get holes for the NC speaker?

It'll fit in the first one, but the leather across the top will cover the top half inch of the screen. You could possibly trim the leather to fit, probably not worth it.

I currently own the executive tan case for the NookColor from B&N, and I just ordered this kickstand:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CKVOOY

I use a Spiderpodium by Breffo as a stand, the original works just fine and is smaller to fold up and take with you, cheaper as well than the huge tablet version. Also can work as a tripod for a camera, stand for cellphone, etc.

Note: I in no way work for Breffo, just really like the product at the price i was able to get it for on ebay.

I ended up getting of of these at Target for $5 and it works very well: http://www.target.com/2-Pk-Easels-6/dp/B002C5M4D2/ref=sc_qi_detailbutton. I also padded the back half of the ledge with foam strips (the kind you put on car speakers) to put the nook in between that and the lip so it is nice and sturdy.
Folds up decently well. I will have to see how it holds up to travel.

Do you mean the Nook Color fits in the smaller Spiderpodium, the one for iPhone, iPod, etc.?

Thanks for the pic so we could see the device on a NC. Question, do you think two of the arms would be able wrap around a headrest bar in a vehicle? I saw a sample of that option in an amazon picture with a cell, but wasnt sure if possible with a larger NC?

Yep, the one in the picture is the smaller, orginal spiderpodium.

I'm using one I bought from Barnes and Noble that works pretty well and has a flip style with kickstand but after seeing the roocase I'm wishing I would have went with that.

Anybody have one of these from BoxWave?
There are zero reviews for it on Amazon. Looks nice, good price, and I want something w/ a kickstand.
Thanks.

But then I came across the much sexier (and sleeker) looking case...I've contacted the seller to see if I can cancel the order and opt in for this second one

i-Blason Case (PICS)

I got my i-Blason case in today. It is a little different then the one one the youtube video. This one is also smart case that will put the Nexus to sleep when closed. Case fits great. Every port and sensor is exposed including the mic.

thanks for the pictures. it looks much better than I expected

Screen is completely exposed. I'm finding its much easier to type and play games with the added bulk. The speaker is not covered and sounds as loud as it always has. I like the white stitching and plan on getting a friend to cut some white vinyl stickers for it.

Thank you for these pictures. Forgive me though, is this actually a 2 piece case?
It appears to me that the folding piece is actually separate from the actual case that hold the tab?
Slightly confused, but this does look like a winner.

Thanks for sharing but that makes the Nexus look so much thicker

I agree with this. If you look at the second pic, its seems as thick as there nexus tabs stacked on top of each other.
Although this does seem nicer than most.

It is 2 piece which allows for landscape or portrait standing. Its thick but not too thick, it just adds protection and makes it easier to hold.

Looks nice but any case that covers the bezel is a deal breaker for me. The white stitching is a nice looking!

after looking at many cases here in the accessory section from different users, I decided to go with this one. thanks for sharing with us. I get mine tomorrow.

The only thing it has ever gotten in my way when doing is moving widgets between home screens. Sometimes my finger hits the case before triggering the blue line to jump to the next homescreen. I dont have this issue with drawing apps or games, only when moving icons or widgets. I just have to roll my finger or move my finger up and down the side to get it to work.

No regrets. I noticed a stitch around the screen is a little frayed but that is all. The hinge seems like will last a long time. You do have to train the hinge to set flat when you are in kickstand mode but mine does it naturally now. With nova launcher installed and almost all my apps have a landscape mode, I dont rest it in portrait mode much but at some point I will need to and I will be glad I can.

I got the red case and I like it so much I just bought the black one. I really hate things that bulk up my devices but there has to be a compromise sometimes on protection and bulk. This case has protection with minimal bulk. I can of course put the tab in portrait or landscape. If I really wanted to I could just take it out of the case easy. I have front and back protection on it from Xtreme guard. Loving this case! Oh yea magnet works great too for waking and putting to sleep. PeAcE

I just brought the same case but it doesnt rotate and it comes with a stylus and a stylus holder built into the case. Overall its great build quality and works perfectly. Im not too happy with the stylus but hey it came free lol

Not feeling it myself, but thanks for taking the time to make this post with the photos to help me decide.

is this the same one?

Got mine today....not really liking it that much. The cut of the inner sleeve leaves the tablet crooked unless you REALLY force it in there and stretch the leather, also on mine the holes for the mic and speaker don't line up exactly as they should. They aren't FAR off but they aren't spot on either. I also thought I wouldn't mind that the inner sleeve is only attached to the outer case by velcro...but I do. It just doesn't leave me with a "it's definitely secure and won't fall out" type of feeling. I do like the auto on/off feature though, works exactly as advertised! Fast shipping too!

[Review] Seidio Active Case

Today before lunch, I got in the Seidio Active case with front cover/kickstand. It's much like the Kindle Fire case I had. So I am glad that I now have it protecting my N7.
As you can see it is the black version. All the cutouts are there EXCEPT for the POGO Pins. But I see it as if you are going to use the POGO pins, you HAVE to remove the case to use a POGO device, so I am am ok with covering it up at this time.
The case comes in three parts, the rubber polymer, hard exterior skeleton, and the mounting cover. The rubber does attract dust especially when brand new out of the box lol, but after a while, the dust and debris will get easier to wipe off with your hand. The front cover can be slipped on the back of the case for convenience and IMO added protection. And there is no magnets to speak of. Which is ok, IMO, I'll just use my volume rockers to turn it on, which I do anyway.
If you have any Seidio products on any of your devices, this does not disappoint. All the cutouts are there and the front camera is clear from the rubber exterior as well. Without the front cover, the Nexus 7 is comfy in my hand and i can see gaming on this more and more...if my 4 year old is not hogging it up lol....
To sum it up, the case is what I expected from Seidio and the quality of their cases. I have been a repeat customer for years and I forsee that I may be again when I get my next device, whatever that may be.
Any questions please ask! Here are the pics starting with unboxing without the N7 installed....enjoy!
Posting the pics, I came to the realization that my desk is mighty dusty! I apologize for that in advance ROFL

I answered those generally in the other Seidio thread but forgot to post the question and answers here, so here it goes:
1. Is it bulky?
Ans: No more bulkier than my Treegloo case. It actually feels thinner than the treegloo and Kindle Fire version IMO, that's without the front cover on the back :cyclops:.
2. Does it add to the thickness/weight?
Ans: It does seem a bit heavier. I think it has to do with the skeleton and rubber combo. But it feels comfortable in the hand because of the rubber exterior IMO. Is it thick? See answer one lol...well if you are coming from a naked N7 then this would be a major step but also major protection IMO.
Hope that helps a bit! :fingers-crossed:

I took some pics showing the difference in thickness (with measurements) with the case and cover part way down this page, also near the bottom I posted the weight of the bare 7, with case and with case/cover.

Is it me, or the case is somewhat "curvy"? Especially in you last picture, it looks like the rubber doesn't make straight lines around the screen.

Hmm...looks the same doesn't it? LOL. In the pics I see what you are saying but when looking at it, it looks ok to me lol.

Having a closer look, it looks like there's some barrel distortion with your camera, as even the screen itself isn't fully square. The case is probably fine (and the lines do look smoother in the more recent picture).

Can you use the harder protective back to cover the front of the screen?

Got mine and am not disappointed in the least. Pretty much great in every way. Highly recommended.

I am interested in this case as well. Could someone get a pic of the case and tab side by side laying flat on a desk/table? I'm trying to get a feel for how much thicker it ends up being with the top on it. Thanks

Has anyone tried this specific "smart cover" case?

I looked around for smart covers on ebay and found the cover below. It doesn't fold around like this case does and in general looks more stable judging by the pictures (they could be wrong though).
Have any of you tried it? I have not found a review of it yet but I figured it might be worth asking.

Yes I have this case, I tell you its a beautiful case to hold and look at. There are other colour variants available which I got the red one.
Its very sleek, doesn't add much weight or bulk to the device.
The sleep functions works brilliantly, and doesn't lock the device when you fold it over to hold like a book, which some do.
ONE DOWNSIDE!!!! - The stand is very hard to figure out (i have not yet figured how to fold it to make it stand up haha !)
Hope this helps answer your questions.
And I genuinly recommend this case as its ace ! (that rhymes weee)

You're right mate, asif
Yeah the coloured variants have a lip that does go round the back, but its not noticeable and surely you want this to keep it nicely closed and secure?

I think it's noticeable, especially when I have that extra flap to fold back over when I'm using the N7 in my hand.
I want to keep it closed and secure, sure, when it's in a bag or something. But my N7 spends most of its time on my coffee table or bar; I'd love to have a slim case with just a flap over the screen to keep the dust out. That doesn't cost $30+ like the Poetics or Portenzos of the world.

So do you have this exact case or not? I've seen the other ones and I'm not interested in them after reading the reviews. That's why I started a new thread about this one. If you do have this one, some pictures would be great.

I went and ordered one of these, but likely won't have it for a couple of weeks since it's coming from China. Will post my impressions when it arrives.

That's a different case, with the wrap-around flap on the right side. I already have that one.

look, heres the deal, that case may look pretty but any case like that wont stay closed. for it to be closed, there would have to be magnets along the edges like the portfolio. any case maker that says the case will stay closed without magnets on the border is lying.

I own one and its awesome. Buy it.

I have to admit, I never really liked these cases... but after seeing that YouTube review online, I'm curious enough to give it a shot.
I'm absolutely in love with this Speck case, but I do have a minor concern with it. I use my Nexus 7 frequently, very frequently, and not only that but I use it for work. I'm continually walking up and down the hall at work going from one problem to another, using my N7 along the way. As a result, I'm concerned I may wear out the clip on the Speck case quite a bit. This only became a thought when I realized the clipping mechanism is significantly easier now than it was when I bought it. Broken in? Maybe. Will it get even softer? Very possible. This case ensures that won't happen since the magnets of course don't have physical contact to wear like that. While the higher stand up position seems a bit easy to topple over, the other one with the N7 (one I'd likely prefer anyway) looks a bit better in terms of stability.
At any rate, ah, I bought one just now - we'll see what happens when it gets here.
Edit - for what it's worth the one I ordered did indeed have the magnetic flap that goes around back to ensure it stays shut. I'm not sure I'd consider one without...

Case arrived today, so far I like it, the cover lies flatter than the eBay case with the extra flap, and it feels slimmer. Only downside so far is that it sometimes puts the tablet to sleep when I fold it back. We'll see if it gets better over time. I'll try to take pictures when I have a chance.

maybe slip something to block the magnet on the back? not sure what can maybe help on that front, but maybe a little thickness might be enough.
Side note, anyone have this and the poetic slimline case? I got the first case they had for my uncle, but it's a bit difficult for him to open. I'd get him a portenzo like mine, but it might actually add more bulk than I'd want for him.

Looking for case

I have a case with a weird issue. Its grabbing my nexus 7 so tight that its squeezing the power button internally or something so screen goes off immediately after unlocking. It doesn't happen at all without case on. Gonna return it to amazon and grab a new one since I've been super clumsy lately and don't want to break my new toy. Any suggestions? Edit screen turning on and off appears to have something to do with light any ideas what it might be?

What kind of case is it? Many cases have a magnet in the lid, that should shut down the screen when the lid is put over the screen.
Some cheap cases also seem to have a bit too powerful magnet, so even if the lid is turned behind the screen, nexus 7 still detects it and shuts down the screen.
Does your case have a magnet?

The Nexus 7 has a wake/sleep sensor, which is activated by the presence/absence of a magnet. As noted in the last post, if your case is compatible with the sensor, then when you open the case's cover, the N7 wakes up. When you close the cover, it will go to sleep.
(I wish I would go to sleep that easily!)

ah weird thought it had something to do with the lighting. then why was i able to duplicate the result by moving the camera around the ceiling fan light bulb? couldn't do it without the case on though so that has to be part of the cause. anyway i can't see a magnet but doesn't mean it's not embedded in there. this is the case by the way http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Slim-fit...=1356622879&sr=8-1&keywords=moko+nexus+7+case

Alot of those cheaper cases use magnets that are too strong and flipping the lid over turns off the screen from the back. I owned a Blurex case just like that one and I liked it alot actually. Because of the design, I can't imagine it has anything to do with the power button.
Play with the lid, as I suspect that is your problem. You may be able to put a piece of tin-foil behind the N7 so the magnet's effect is tainted from behind. That or pick up a new case. I really liked that style of case as it felt very protected. I eventually moved to the Poetic slim case (iPad style) but the quality was disturbing. After a few weeks the plastic started to buckle and tear.
I ended up with a Portenzo Book Case that I like very much. It has a great feel to it, doesn't add bulk, and looks very nice. Overall it is holding up very well. The tablet is held in by 2 3M sticky pads. The top, bottom, and button-sides are exposed. The magnets were adjusted during initial releases and working perfectly.

This N7 is for my 7 y/o. We'll see how it goes.

tried with a fridge magnet no luck. oh well got a leather pouch laying around that i think i'll just store the thing in when not using it and carrying it around. it's not like i'm gonna go walking around using the thing and not paying attention to where i'm going like i might with my phone.

Wow they sent me another one for free without me even asking and it works great. Definitely go ahead and order one if you are interested. Must have read my review

The speck fit folio case is awesome! Picked one up at office Max. Good protection, looks nice, doesn't add too much bulk.
