Anyone try it? is that really about to put Nexus 7 to sleep?

I ordered a blue one on the 10th and it is still showing "shipping soon." may want to try another cover or color if you need it sooner rather than later.

I ordered black and blue case too!

Waiting on the official one to be available again. I can't spend money to put my precious tablet in a case that looks like it was made for cell phones in the 90's. I don't know what it is but all leather cases just look cheap and crappy to me.

Agreed. Looks like something for an old Nokia.

Sorry guys, but is it just me or does everyone in this forum have horrible taste? Every case I see is uglier than the next. This is no exception. Why would you want to add so much bulk? The leather and details look cheap.

So you would prefer one that seems to be all plastic?

I would prefer one like the ipad covers. A simple, classy flap across the screen to protect it from the contents of my backpack, briefcase, laptop bag, or pocket. The brushed aluminum sides and plastic-rubber back don't need anything and look premium on their own. Bonus points if it can be rolled up into a stand like the ipad covers.

I'd prefer a good quality plastic case over the PU 'leather' ones. Though there's a thin amount of split hide sandwiched in there somewhere, the textured polyurethane outer coating doesn't look or feel like real leather to me. I think it turns a nice looking device into something that looks chunky and ugly. Also, the PU covers won't wear like leather (which looks better over time). Instead they are likely to delaminate, have the coating flake off, and look crappy.

+1000, those cases that completely cover it in fuax leather. yuk...

I'm waiting for the Asus case because nothing beats OEM. I think my beautiful Nexus 7 deserves something that enchances its looks and not ruins it. I wouldn't mind a leather or faux leather Asus built case either. I think in the time to come we will be seen a lot of accessories everywhere for our device. Don't rush and buy junk.

Both the black leather Apple smart Cover and the Blackberry Playbook Convertible cases are superb IMO.

I actually owned the Playbook and the Convertible case from Blackberry. It was an awesome case and very well made. That's the reason why I prefer OEM. It's always better.

How are you guys protecting your screen during transportation if you don't have a cover. I agree with the comments about all the ugly cases...wow.

I am still using the plastic wrap the tablet came in when I bought the Nex7. But just ordered up a screen protector and will use that soon and no case.

Looking for a bumper case

As the title says, I'm looking for a bumper case, somewhat like the cases for the nobi tablet.
Any other kid proof case would do, as the tablet is dedicated to my children and I'd prefer something that will keep them from ruining it.

I recently purchased this
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Exact-Design-Google-Android-Tablet/dp/B008LJKTGC/ref=pd_sim_sbs_ce_2
have to say I am very pleased with it, the fit is superb, cutouts are all easily accessed. the cover is probably 1.2mm thick across the back and a little less around the edges. its edges lips aroubd the screen really well, my only concern is that it may lift a screen saver ? will find out soon enough in hand it feels similar to the textured back of the 7 itself. having had many cheapo silicon cases for phones and tabs I can highly recommend this cover :good:

There are two different versions of the case, and on expan they only have one picture of it.
Version 1 is like an iPad smart cover where it folds up in the back for it to stand up. Version 2 is like my poetic hardback case where you put the tablet into the "indents." I hate covers where you have to fold it up in the back to stand it up, so I'm going to email expansys and ask which one it is. It seems like it's version 1, the fold up one.

Any chance you have any pictures of the case? I just ordered one of these. If it's as good as advertised, I think it'll get the job done.
I second the Noreve suggestion. I have one for my N7 and I love it. Here's their case for the N10 : http://www.noreve.com/langue/en/product/Samsung_Google_Nexus_10_Tradition_leather_case.html

My wife got me this one for xmas http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Goog...d=1357244965&sr=1-2&keywords=iblason+nexus+10 I like it.
It looks like exactly what you are looking for, costs $18.00 and smells like leather to me. The only fault I can find is that there is no opening on the bottom for the POGO charger, whenever that is available, so you have to open the case to be able to use it. But for $18.00 and Amazon (who are excellent on returns if you don't like it) it's hard to go wrong.
I picked up one from Bear Motion on Amazon. It's much nicer than you'd think considering the price. They make a brown one too. Magnetic seal and auto-sleep/wake. After using it a few days, it has softened up a bit and feels even nicer.
Search 'Bear Motion Genuine Cowhide nexus 10' on Amazon. I don't have enough posts to put any links in yet.
Additionally, I bought a clear screen protector and carbon fiber 'style' protector for the sides and back from Skinomi. (Their website is cheaper than Amazon and used a promo code 'skinomi25' for 25% off.) I am not usually good at installing such things but it turned out pretty well.

I was looking at the bear case..are the top parts of the speakers covered by that case? I currently have the poetic dura case and sadly the only part of the speaker that is covered is the part where the speaker actually is :-/.

I ordered a Bear Motion from Amazon. It arrived today but was a mistake. The one I received was clearly for another, smaller tablet. Anyway if the one for the Nexus 10 is the same material I wouldn't like it. If it is real leather it fooled me. It is very pleather-like. I now have my eye on much more expensive leather cases like the ones that people are selling on Etsy or Nor eve.

Can not post a link yet, will try later.
I would say the top of the speaker is covered about .5” or less. I haven't noticed any issues with sound. It is actually leather, though it's really stiff at first. The inside has some sort of soft/fuzzy cloth lining. I'm pretty happy with mine so far. I used a skinomi wrap/screen cover too for extra peace of mind.

I ordered one a few days ago. When it gets here I will let you know, but black is the only color they keep in stock. Everything else is made-to-order. I got a brown one, so it might be a few weeks.
One think to keep in mind is the Noreve site includes VAT in the prices. If you create an account, it will update the price to exclude VAT (as long as you live somewhere that doest do VAT). They also ship free. Still pretty expensive though. It was around $92 for mine.
One thing that is pretty cool is they link to third party reviews of their product and they are organized by device, case color, and language. At least one of them is a video review of a case for the Nexus 7. I didn't see any reviews for a Nexus 10 case, but the other reviews give you a pretty good idea of the quality.

Update on the Bear Motion case, still a great case overall especially for what I paid, but I have noticed a flaw. The cutout for the POGO port has no stitching between the leather outer material and the interior lining. The adhesive has broken down a little and the lining is just a tiny bit loose around the opening. I intend to fix this myself with a needle, some black thread and about 5 minutes. This does have the potential to happen on the edges of the leather areas that do not have stitching though.
It should be noted the area with this issue flexes A LOT though. I'll post a picture later. It is very minor and I'd still buy this case again, but the manufacturer could easily prevent this with an extra couple inches of stitching.

I received my Noreve case yesterday, so it took a little over three weeks to get to me (it is faster if you pick a black color). It is clearly much higher quality than the Bear Motion case I tried previously and better anything else I have seen on Amazon.
That does not mean I don't have any complaints. Mind you, these are pretty minor but they are complaints nonetheless.
Firstly, they have some sort of thin layer of open cell foam under the front cover. Yesterday when you pressed a bit on the front cover, you could feel and hear the foam compressing. Today, after having it in my messenger bag, that sounds seems to have worked itself out. I much prefer the feel of the back, which seems to be leather right on top of plastic. The inside front cover has some sort of rubber or gel padding and I like that too, but I am not sure the inside front cover is leather. I don't think it is. I guess they are going for a soft, cushy feel on the front.
Secondly, the clasp is slightly annoying. Someone asked how firm it was and I will say it is pretty firm. It definitely stays closed and I have no complaints about how well it functions, but the problem is the clasp on the front cover prevents the device from laying flat when the cover is folded back because the clasp points down.
The last complaint I have is the process of converting it to stand mode. You have to pop the tablet out of the bottom of the case to stand it up. This isn't an easy or quick task because the case grips the tablet pretty tight.
Despite my complaining you just read, I actually really do like the case. It is definitely quality made with quality materials.

iPad Like Smart Case

Are there any iPad like Smart Cases - you know the ones that fold into the little triangle stand - other than the Poetic one and this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008UQJU2K/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&smid=ARK124NKBQ4LI ?
The stand on the poetic one doesn't stay in place if you touch it more than a couple times and that other one apparently breaks down after just a couple months. Don't want it to cover the bezel like the two listed above. Looking for a different one. Honestly, it can even have a kickstand instead. Are there any available??

This type of case i've found to be the most widely available, they seem to be everywhere.
I bought one and it's very good quality from aliexpress.com, seller jPhone Case Factory.
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...and-magnetic-sleep-wake/503101_604963423.html
eBay is another option, but on the UK one the same thing cost a fair bit more.
Have noticed some variation on this type of case, the most important one being the ability for it to stand itself up horizontally which the one I have quoted is very good (look at the product images, you can see it has a clip at the back and it works very well and is very stable)
I got roocase executive leather
that's my 3rd case and I love it. Works the auto wake great once I learned where the magnet in the case was and where the sensor was on my n7. Beautiful real leather and the removable interior sleeve is nice. Not to mention it has a zipper zipps all the way

I think I am just going to say screw this kind of case and get a DODOcase Hardcover. A bit expensive, but I'm tired of these cheap cases that aren't of great quality, don't work as it is supposed to, or add a crap ton of bulk to the device.

Sweet Armor GNote Bumper & Mugen Extended Battery

First Im sorry if this has been asked before but anyone tried sweet armor yet? If so, will it work with the Mugen Extended Battery? Thanks =)
http://www.thesweetarmor.com/en/13-sweet-armor-gnote-2
looks awesome but expensive for just a bumper.
It looks nice- though definitely a little pricey. Also looks a little bulky in the back? Maybe it's the images.
Coming from (SGS3 Galaxy S3) - new Note 2 owner
I've tried similar bumper for SGS3 - there is issues of the thing being heavy and adding to the weight of the device.
If the bumper makers had sense - they'd focus on the fit and adding protection - not adding looks/ metal and finish.
Now with extended batteries - the bumpers are a tough fit. Of the several I tried for the SGS3 only one fit.
If anyone knows better please post.
I have the Sweet Armor but no extended battery.

Looks good...but aluminum will dent if dropped so drop the phone your phone might be protected but you need to get a new case
Looks great, too expensive though.
Wow 70$. But i don't need an extra Note 2, I just want the bumper
Ihave a cheap metal bumper with my extended battery. You shouldnt have to worry about denting it but it will reduce signal and gps performance. Im going to mod it and see if I can remedy the issue. The one I bought was only 10 $ but doesnt screw together. I think the screw together versions are better. You should be able to find a cheap Chinese knock off sweet armor on ebay soon enough.
I had a sweet armor bumper and the mugen extended for the GNote 1 and they both fit perfectly, hence i asked =) It is indeed a little pricey so it will depend on personal preference, i guess. I have tried cheaper bumpers for the note 1 and none of them look as good as the sweet armor. Of course i understand some would prefer cheaper bumpers but this one has awesome look and finish. The sweet armor on my Note 1 still look as good today as it was on day 1 when i got it. Admitedly, I haven't dropped my Note 1 (thank god) so i cant say too much about the durability though. Not sure about the cheaper bumpers (i havent used them long enough) but definitely no dents/scratches from everyday wear and tear for this one though.
The only problem i had with the Note1 sweet armor though is that i lost a screw once and i had to replace it (it came with 5 extra screws btw) but that was my own negligence (prob a loose screw), never lost another screw after the first one til today =) the fit was awesome for my Note1, never had a reception problem (or not bad enough for me to notice at least). The extra weight wasnt a problem for me (I use a Note1 with the extended battery remember) but i'd think it wont add too much weight to a standard GNote. Just removed the bumper from my note1, and saw no scratch (from the bumper) on the sides of the phone.
PS: I went ahead and ordered one today and already got my shipping confirmation few hours later. I will try to update here with pics when it arrives. If it doesnt fit my mugen extended then i guess i will use it when im using the standard battery (I usually switch extended/standard battery depending on my need at the time). It will take a while cause i was being cheap and chose the cheaper shipping option.
Okay just got my bumper in the mail today. Fits perfect even with the mugen extended. Quality is awesome. Only complain I have is the side buttons feel a little loose, no biggie. And of course a lil too pricey. Comes with 3 extra buttons and five screws, loving it. It looks awesome =)

I would love to buy several if they are of the same quality. Could you provide a link where these are available for $10 please?
UPDATE: Saw the other thread you participated in about aluminum bumpers and I see what bumpers you're referring to. While they look nice, you get what you pay for. I tried one of those and the quality is MUCH lower than the Sweet Armor. It is lighter, thinner, and scratches the GN2 easily. I believe in paying for quality if it can be had and the SA is worth it IMO.
No offense to those who bought the $10 eBay bumpers though.

I had the SA on my SII, it was sweet but pricey. After I sold my SII to get the Note, I gave the $10 bumper a go for a cheaper bumper look. Unfortunately, it messed up my Note. Plastic started chipping off between the screen and bezel.
Cons: Flimsy built, one time it slipped about half a feet high (in account with the weight of phone). The frame wasn't in the best of shape anymore. Unsatisfying premium look, actually made my phone look cheap. Tight slider, which cause plastic area to chip off over time and possible scratches to screen protector or phone if your not careful.
Pros: Cheap, easily replaceable. (provided not parts/accessory of your phone that needs replacement caused by the bumper)
Imho, you get what you paid for and I paid more. But kudos to those who had no problem with their bumpers. On my Note II, It's just sad case if I had to go thru it again, that's why I'm going back to SA
I had one of my Galaxy S1. Well made piece of kit but I ultimately didnt like the feel in the hand and was dubious about the shock protection (on that version there were only a few little thin foam strips inside the bezel.

MoKo Ultra Slim

I just got my Nexus 10 today. I love it! I'm scared to take it anywhere with me though, since I do not have a case. I've seen several people recommend the MoKo slim. I like it, and it looks nice, but I don't want black. I really like the navy blue cover. Does anyone have any dealings with getting a colored cover from them?
I do not but the poetic slimline is great and comes in many colors.

I've heard and seen that the poetic has its own issues, or else I would be looking at it. The Moko looks nice, and I need a case ASAP

I saw your video, and it looks nice. That's why I want the Moko, but I want to know if anyone has had experience with a colored Moko case.

I'm a bit confused. Why would a case that comes in a different color perform any differently then one that is black? Do different colors provide additional protection, or make the case slimmer?

You're right, but if you check on amazon, select the orange one, and it looks pretty different. I think he means if the colour is ok and etc, not that the case performs different.
Mainly just shipping times. And the colored cases are different from the black case. The colored cases have Moko on the cover, and the black one only has it on the metal tab. I saw poetic black shipped later than colored ones, so I was just wanting to see.

That's not true. I've got the black one and it has moko on te cover, as you can see on the video.
I can't answer your question regarding color as my MoKo case is black (got it because it was eligible for Amazon Prime shipping). What I can tell you, however, is that you need to stay far away from the Poetic Slimline. It's an absolute piece of crap.

You're right. I remember seeing your video, but when I looked on Amazon, the black case doesn't have Moko written on the from. I've already ordered the Indigo one though. Now just waiting on it to get in!

For what it's still worth, I got the indigo case too.
It's pretty much just navy blue. No purplish tint at all. The "Moko" is on the metal tab, not anywhere else.
That's the color I was hoping it would turn out being. Thank you for that

I just got the email saying the MoKo has shipped. I should have it by the 30th at the latest. Hopefully it's worth the money!
I just got my navy blue moko and I am very pleased! Great fit and adds little bulk.
anyone from australia got this case? i cant seem to get it shipped here from amazon
Got mine yesterday and I love it! Much better than the Poetic which was too tight and couldn't easily access the volume and power buttons.

great case
I just got mine from Amazon in grey, an amazing case, cost 15 bucks, the case is very sturdy
i also tried the crazyondigital bundle for 30 bucks that includes a case,the build was so crappy, i will return the bundle soon
2 quick questions:
1. The moku's metal tab looks like it might actually touch the screen when the cover is closed. If that is the case isn't there potential to scratch the glass? I'm worried it might do so in a backpack where it could get very compressed.
2. Once the tablet is secured in the shell how much potential is there for it to fall out? I many times put something like a paperweight on the cover and allow the tablet to swing freely as it hangs off of something like a shelf. I'm wondering if the shell holds it in tight enough so you wouldn't have to worry about it slipping out when doing so?

In general, when metal hits glass, the metal scratches.
