Make any case a smart case!! - Nexus 7 Accessories

Found this on Amazon so if you have a case you like that isn't a smart case this seems to be a decent alternative.

Thanks for the link! That's rather expensive considering my case cost less than the magnet Is there any way that I could just buy some magnet strips and super glue them to the case?

ROFLMAO $10 for that??? That's extortion! I think I'm just going to go to my local craft store and pick a few up there, surely they will be a fraction of the cost.

That's not a case, just a magnet.

Does anyone know of nay magnet tape that works? I'm in the UK so anything on eBay/Amazon UK would be ideal.

Currently using magnet tape from an arts and craft store. Costed 1.99 for a yard lol.

Does it work? I know some people are having trouble with certain kinds of magnets like the flexible plastic refridgerator type magnets.
Do you have an IO Nexus 7 or a production model?

Yea it is kinda expensive lol I just came across it looking at TPU cases and I've never seen anyone sell that
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Production model. The case needed to be snug otherwise just layer it to fit. I out 3 strips on top of each other to make a friends case work. It has to be flush with the screens sensor.

Do you know if the polarity is a or b?

I have a roll of 1/2" wide adhesive magnetic tape and tried cutting a piece to see if it would work, no dice. must not be strong enough. I'd be concerned with it scratching the screen anyway, but thought I'd give it a try.

Have a look on the Play Store for "CaseSensor for Tablets", turn any case into a smart one using the light sensor.

I made my folio case a smart case by using a small magnet from a desktop toy i had (has little sticks with magnets on the ends and little metal balls for making geometric shapes), used a dremmel and glues it in. Free and works like a charm! I would be happy to sell some magnets for $10 each.. . I'll throw in shipping for free ;P

I was playing around with a magnet to see which side would matter, and it doesn't look like it's polarity specific.

The official case is awful. Huge, bulky, and the cover is just a big floppy piece of rubber.

They're not huge and bulky, your misinformed, it's actually really form fitting. Cheap yes, worth 20$ absolutely not, but bulky it is not.

Official Nexus7 Case?

So Google has yet to release the Nexus 7 Case.. but its for sale at Sams Club?
I don't have a Sams Club membership, and I do not plan on support Walmart anymore than my wife already does...
Anyone know of a case, that is similar to the "Official" Nexus 7 case, but it available somewhere I do not need a membership?
I like the small/tight feature of that case. I can not stand a big bulky case that adds to the profile of the device.. I like how I can slip it in my back pocket, and every case I've found in the stores removes that ability.
As far as i know the travel case is for sale but the premium case is not yet released although pictures leaked
Sent using my Nexus 7 with Tapatalk
Seems dumb to me that they would wait so long to release the case. I'm holding out for an otterbox case.
The case listed on the Google Play store as "coming soon" is what you are referring to as a 'travel case' ... have not seen anything about a premium case.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium HD app
You can order the travelcase at the asus website. I cant order from the play store so dont know about that. Premiumcase details are here:

I bought a proper Nexus case from Carphone Warehouse earlier today....it's kinda like a grey rubbery case with a flap that covers the screen...
Was looking at he case but decided against it on two things,1 there is no stand to prop up for watching films etc. 2 The cover flaps around so all kinds of crap can get on the screen if left in my bag.Shame as the rest of it and the way it holds the nexus is sweet

Was that the one made by Asus? Most Gamestops carry it, I looked at one today. Wasn't impressed with the feel, I'm sure that would slip out of my hands at some point.

looks like it. i've modded mine by cutting the useless flap off and keeping the back portion of it intact.
the flap if you join two ends up, actually then doubles up as a nice stand to lean the tablet against to watch films.

I also bought mine two days ago.
Only available in blue and pinks; None of the greys where in stock.
The grip is nice and if you flip the cover, the tablet stands in landscape easily and quite stable.
I attach some pictures of mine.

I bought it yesterday - it is wide enough to hold the note 2 but it's at the limit of the holder's maximum width. Not sure I'll keep it as it's maybe a tad too flimsy. I would be a bit afraid that the plastic arm might break and then note would fall.
Thanks for the tip though, joey.

I feel the same way. I just don't trust windshield mounts.
I got an iOttie for mine and have it suctioned in a cubby behind my shifter in my Honda Civic. This mkes it so the holder piece leans on the edge of the opening, giving it support.
It does take the weight (doesnt fall off when driving on the bumpy cornish roads/lanes)
It fits perfectly with about a cm to spare
It might look flimsy but its actually quite tough
If you want something better spend more than a fiver

This is a tenner in my local tesco - how did you get it for a fiver? Coupons?
I didn't mean to be overly critical of it by the way - it looks solid enough. I think I will have my phone mostly in portrait though, so i'd like something at the bottom to stop it slipping down.

No probs, all in good jest.
It was double up tesco vouchers so only cost me a fiver
I've been using the Mountek MT5000-D and it's great.
Works great with both my note 1 and my note 2.
I was using the tetrax x-way before but it just couldn't handle the weight of the note.
it would just keep falling off.

[Q] Star Wars Case for GN2?

Hello All,
My brother is an avid Star Wars fan and has a GN2 as well and is looking to see if he can find a Star Wars case for it. I looked everywhere on Google and it seems that the only cases I find that are Star Wars related are for the GN1 or the S3.
Does anyone know where I can find a few to look through or a vendor that will make one with an image I provide them?
Thanks!
Taxmaster
I saw on r2d2 3M gel decal/skin on Amazon that you may want to take a look at. I'm not a huge Starwars fan but it was very cool looking and I'm considering getting one myself. Sadly I don't have a link.

Thank you for the tip, but I'm probably going to wait for a legit case rather than a sticker. I'll pass this on though to anyone I know who is looking for that look though!!!
Yeah definitely get the feeling especially when the case is plastic comparing to the aluminum on ipad, maybe look for similar customizable case, I was in china for business 2 week ago and was able to see some customizable plastic cases, not the greatest quality but I think all image designed cases are typically plastic.
Not sure if there are similar options in the states but for plastic cases they are not that bad I was able to get one for around 3 dollars
