My Temp. ghetto case - Nexus 7 Accessories

This is what I'm using to protect my Nexus 7 while it's in my backpack until I decide what case to order.
It's a great, snug fit.

I like it!

Nice.

Nice! I am using a Crown Royal bag until I decide what case I want.

Brilliant!

Thanks for the well wishes for the leg! I have about 5 more weeks until I'm done with the cast.
I fractured my tibia while doing front flips on a trampoline. It had been ~9 years, and I remembered being more.... youthful.....
The broken leg is actually a big reason I broke down and got my tablet! When you have to move around on crutches... lugging around a 7" tablet vs. a 17" laptop is SO much easier.
The oven mitt happened because while in the car after buying it, a family member was holding a used casserole dish, which had that mitt in it. I placed it on the mitt before promptly being told "Don't do that, it's dirty.", so I got the idea to fit it inside the mitt. I now pack my mitt in my backpack when I go places. (I can't carry it with my hands due to the crutches.)

That's gangsta bro love it.

Aside from the pouch I ordered from amazon, my girlfriend is knitting me a yarn sleeve for my tablet which is going to be ****ing awesome once it's done. until then I'm using the spare a500 sleeve i have lying around. It'll look something similar to this just a different color.
Your current sleeve is pretty ghetto indeed, it's like owning a Mercedes and parking it in a derelict shack lol.

I have a "Camera Bag" that I got from amazon. Only about 28 bucks. There is a pocket that it will fit in perfectly because my kindle fire fits in it perfectly already. Then there is a top pocket my phone slips into for easy access.
I'll tuck it in the back of my pants.

One of the great things about being still in college is that it's acceptable to wear hoodies and tracksuit bottoms around with nice big pockets..
My Nexus will hopefully fit nicely in some of my pockets..
If not I'll just get a nice strong case and pop it in my backpack and try to be relatively careful walking around - that strategy hasn't broken my Kindle yet so if it's not broke don't fix it
I'm waiting for these to become available (debating on whether to get the blue or black one).
When I'm going to class, I'll just put it in my backpack. I won't be able to take it to work, so school, home, and relatively long car rides will be the main places I'll be using it, and I think the case will work just fine (has worked so far for my Nook Tablet at least although the case for it was made by m-edge).

My DIY in 2 minute tablet stand for the lazies

Hi guys,
I wanted to buy a tablet stand for a while, but they're either bad or way too expensive, which means that if I want crap, I better do it myself.
The UPS carton from the Nexus 7 was hanging out next to my desk for weeks so I decided to just take it, cut a piece, and make it look like a stand. I did it pretty randomly and it turns out not bad at all. This definitely solves my stand issue. I'll probably improve it a little more by adding some duct tape so it can last a bit more that 2 weeks.
This will literally take 2 minute of your time if you wanna give it a try. I love it so far.
Pictures: http://imgur.com/a/jr464
Not bad if you don't have spare DVD cases laying around (that stand is a little more stable and longer-lasting), but edit your pictures and downsize them, they're too big for the forum!
-Ara
Woops, replaced it by an imgur album, thanks
I made one from a dvd case. Thing works awesome. It holds my N7 while in a case too. I often use it at night to charge.
I used a spare Xbox 360 case so mine is neon green.

Cool...I saw that stand at Walgreens and thought it was pretty cool. But they want over $10 for it, and I've already got a $30 stand ( bought for my old ex-Prime ) and another simple silicone stand. But the one you have does tempt me every time I see it
What about this?
I got this for my nexus 7:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-C...ccessories&hash=item564b5dfdf2#ht_1874wt_1185
For $4.89 (plus free shipping), it's a good deal. And from a top seller to boot.

Gawd I never thought i'd be shilling for gamestop but for $5 you really can't go wrong.
Sorry for the (gnex) crappy pic but you get the idea, the slots that the tablet fit into are super soft rubber (coated) and it folds completely flat.
Just go around your house and look for an unused picture frame prop.
I just thought I'd share mine.
I still need to trim off the glue, cut off the excess cardboard and paint it.
That's a cool idea. I make one for my kids.

would i get in trouble for carrying one around or on a flight?

Tactical just means that... u can use it for self defense but really any pen can be used for "tactical" defence. I sell these at my job but without the stylus part. I don't believe that you would get in trouble cuz it is after all a pen.
Nice find though

You can still poke someone in the eye with a plastic pen. Doesn't need to be a metal one:silly:
Tactical means it looks vaguely militaristic and is a surefire buzzword for selling anything at all to the wannabe soldiers out there..
Hold still while I write a stern note to you with my tactical pen or I'll blind you with my tactical torch. I'd hit you with my tactical belt but my tactical trousers would fall down..
They sell similar products at Walgreens for ten dollars.

I wouldn't say Florida is picky. In fact the state is pretty easy going on firearms and other weapons compared to many states. The TSA is a federal organization anyway so it doesn't really have anything to do with the state.
I don't consider it a weapon but many of these tac pens have glass breakers and DNA catchers. They're also relatively sharp and heavy... maybe that's why its considered a weapon.
Anyway. S&W makes pretty good tac gear. I might have to pick this specific one up. Thanks for posting.

New Portenzo Hardback Case/Cover

Brand new Portenzo Hardback case. This was just released and is currently on sale for 2 days only @ $19.95! Watch the video for a demo of the super stick grip tape.
I'm still a very happy Portenzo BookCase customer. their quality and customer service is outstanding!

I ordered one. I'll post some pics next to the bookcase when I get it.

Sounds right. No stand.
Looks a lot like the Dodo Case to me.
Ordered one. All black with a red elastic strap. Thanks!

It does, but the Dodo is way more expensive and only available in 4 colors. Portenzo has a better reputation, less expensive and way more colors to chose from. Looks like I am buying another Portenzo today!
I will post pics when I get it.
Was liking it until I saw the adhesive approach to securing the device. Like everything else about it - moleskine type design, quality materials.
Anyone have any experience with the sticky pads?
Do they leave any residue if you remove your device?
I'm assuming they are a one time use as well?

If it's anything like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008A1XN28/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
Then the "sticky" is extremely sticky!
Enough so that when I tried to remove the N7, the back cover came off the tablet!
I don't mean that in some awful "it broke!" way...it's just that the adhesive is stronger than the tablet's back cover retainers.
So if you were scared to pry open your N7 with a screwdriver...this is an alternate way to open it.
But if you're careful and go slow, the tablet comes off and there is no residue.
The adhesive can be wiped down with water and when it dries, it's good to go!
I tested the case on my N7, then put my Galaxy Tab 2 7" in it, then back to the N7.
Since the Portenzo costs more than twice as much...I'd hope their adhesive is just as good if not better to work with than the $9 case!
Ordered mine yesterday in firetruck red! Pretty excited about this. I was looking for something classy but with thin profile so Bookcase came close but this hardbook was a better fit for my needs.
Does anyone now how long it takes for them to ship? Happy Friday all
I wonder how the quality compares to the dodocase.

I have the casemate tuxedo for the kindle fire using the sticky pad. It's re-usable and does not leave a residue. I sent my first kindle back and got a replacement from Amazon, no issues re-applying the pad on the replacement, just as sticky as the first time.
cant make it stand though, so a big nono for me
was going to wait till i got home to order but byt he time i did the price was back up to 39.99 :crying:
Looks like a good alternative to the Dodocase! I managed to place an order before the sale ended too. At $19.99, it was too good of a deal to pass up.
I just ordered mine (yes I know I said it looks like the Dodo but I couldn't help myself). And it was still 19.99 only I ordered the composition which added 9.99.

Its actually not even in the electrinics department of target. Its in the camping supply area next to the travel stuff. Its labeled as an e-reader case and has a cardboard sleeve around it. I'm pretty sure the brand was Embark

Just an FYI, I had a similar case for my old Archos PMP. The elastic band wore away the finish on the PMP's frame after a bit of taking it out and putting it back in. I imagine that, if you're careful, it won't be a problem. And one advantage to plastic over metal is that there's no paint to abrade.
Thanks exactly what i was looking for!
That's the right one in the website posted but it says $16 online. It was definitely only $12 or $12.99 in store.
