My favorite cases - Nexus 7 Accessories

I have a Google official case that's coming in soon, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to use that as my default case. It's pretty disappointing that there's no stand.
I've been driving myself crazy researching cases for the N7 and have narrowed my options down to four. One of my rules with purchasing cases/folios are that they CAN'T cover the bezel.
Here's what I'm looking at:
Poetic Hardbook- $9.95
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008IEGS9W/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1342599330&sr=8-1
Poetic Tribook- $7.95
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-TriBook-Automatically-Manufacturer-Warranty/dp/B008IEGSWO/ref=pd_ybh_12
CaseCrown Ace Flip Case- $20.21
http://www.amazon.com/CaseCrown-Google-Built-magnet-feature/dp/B008K9TRM0/ref=pd_ybh_8
iBlason Slim Folio- $16.95
http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Sleep-Google-Tablet-Orange/dp/B008H3PAP2
Belkin Bi- Fold Case- $37.55 ( Apparently this works really well w/ N7 )
http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Bi-Fold-Stand-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B007XDFO7Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1342647766&sr=1-1&keywords=belkin+bifold+folio
Google Nexus 7 Dock- $32.98
http://www.gadgets4geeks.com.au/product/google_nexus_7_dock
Unfortunately these aren't available right now, but they all look like REALLY good cases. I haven't ordered any of these yet, but I would like to have all of them ( that's not an option ) .
If any of you are going to order one of these, please post below because I'd like some input. Or if you find other cases/ folios that are worthy of a purchase, let me know and I'll update this post.

For all the pictures we'll be taking with the rearview camera, right?

i'm guessing that's a stock photo, because they are being manufactured right now and they just used it to show you an idea of how it will look....but that's just my guess....

I read the fire version of the casecrown ace flip is exactly the same, other than not being smart. I have one coming tomorrow, cost me $8.00. If it's good i might get the smart version, or i'll just put a magnet on it.

If Marware makes a similar case for the Nexus 7, I'm all in!!!

Kobo cover works

Picked this up today at my local Chapters store for $20. I just needed something for when travelling and don't have time to wait for an eBay or Amazon order to cross the border before my next trip.
It's not bad, fits in easily enough (thanks HUGE N7 bezel, you actually came in handy!). It also has a nice feel (different than most PU), and all the ports/buttons are usable while in the cover (though watch the top right strap, it can hit the power button).
Flap folds flat on the back if you want to use it in the case, and the N7 goes in and out of it quickly which is cool with me as this is just to protect it while in a bag, when actually using the N7 it'll come out of the case.
This is the NY Times model that comes in several different styles (I picked the most bland), and there are even nicer ones available if you want to drop more coin but at that point you're better off getting something actually made for the N7.

Nice pick up!
I saw something similar on Amazon from Marware for the Kindle. Also priced at $20.
See this case would be perfect for my wife if they didn't use elastic bands to hold it in, why is it so hard to find something like this that is just a little more industrial (has clips rather than bands)....ugh, the search continues, however this is pretty cheap and my wife might be willing to go with it, would be nice if it was a little smaller to fit the n7, just that much better, but beggars can't be choosers right?

360 Degree Rotating Leather Case $8.99 free shipping (not those velcro ones)

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...:172282,k&tag=asinref-20:nexus+gearonic&ajr=0
i got one of those rotating cases with the ugly velcro back for 5 bucks a while back, been forgetting about these with the circle in the back ones and non obtrusive bezel which i prefer over the one that covers the whole screen edges
for 8.99 in various color, i'd suppose its a good deal, similar ones are usually over 15 or sold in a bundle with crappy accessories on ebay

I got one like this from flebay for 6 quid its OK, bit bulky and I could never get it to be usable in portrait as every time I touched the screen it would fall over, landscape was OK tho.

I'm using one just now after my other case broke. I don't like it much, same problem as alferret plus it's clunky and doesn't sit right in my hands when the cover is open. It will do until I find something better though.

Same here. For me it's rubish for that reason. I got a original case now. Works fine.

i hope this is not a bad as you guys are commenting on
there is however another brand that I think some of you might be referring to, there is a similar one that comes with the whole bezel covered, maybe its that one you guys have instead?

Nope, it's the same as your first post. It's cheap and it does the job but there are better ones out there for the same money depending on your needs.

Infinity Poetic slim case or similar fits perfect with some adjustments!!

I thought that I would share this discovery! Like many of you that previously purchased a slim case for your Transformer Prime/Infinity tablet and now finding yourself with a totally different tablet (Nexus 10). The case you bought is now incompatible. What are you to do? Cough up more cash for a new case to fit your N10? Sure but you don't have to. Here is what you can do with no tools other then your own hands to make your incompatible Poetic slim case or something similar to fit your new N10!
* I discovered that the the four corners that hold the tablet in place and the two inner place holders are actually bendable! You can force these holders to bend and flex to fit your N10 snuggly. That's it! Saved you the need to buy another case
(Don't be afraid to force it when your bending it to shape. It will take some pressure.)
See photos below...
(These photos were after bending them all to shape. Sorry didn't think to shoot the before pictures:/)

*If you want to install a sleep/ wake feature for when you close the lid. All you need is a magnet like the ones on your refrigerator, like I did with mine and just cut it to fit the magnet snug like what I did below. The magnet I used had a soft foamy material that worked out nicely.
I no longer need to buy a case now that the one I had for the Infinity fits just fine for my new N10! Hopefully this helps you!

Good for you bud. Looks awesome.
And good to know that many cases fit the Nexus 10.

Thanks. Yeah just a little adjustment here and there Normally the case would be too big but since I was able to bend it, it all worked out.

It's a small magnet which I have found so far after 2 weeks of use it doesn't interfere with spen functions, perhaps I don't spen enough but 4.5/5 from 70 reviews can't go wrong for the price. If you feel iffy on the magnet you can go into those Amazon reviews then keyword search box just for this product reviews: magnet

Best screen protector and case for my Nexus 7?

Hi just wanted to ask you guys to recommend case and screen protector for my brand new Nexus 7.
What you think about official Nexus 7 case:

Or there is something much better?
And i also wanna buy screen protector, please tell me which one is best buy? Thanks.
Edit: Found these 2 screen protectors from SPIGEN:
http://www.spigen.com/google-nexus-7-remium-lcd-protection-film-steinheil-series.html
I used to have SPIGEN screen protector for my S III and it was great. Can you tell me what is the difference between these two?
Get the tpu case for the nexus. It is nice. I have it
If I helped out, hit the thanks button.
'best' is subjective.
find a nice case and screen protector from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1676
**edit
here is possibly the worst case you can get for a nexus 7:
http://www.technologytell.com/gadgets/files/2012/07/dodocase-nexus-7.jpeg
now that you know what the worst one is, you can safely avoid it.
I got myself original one and it is really cool and perfect! The only thing missing is magnet for automatic sleep but I guess they couldn't put it in silicone body... not imoportant for me anyway
Yeah

I have been waiting for the Otterbox case to come out. I am currently using the official one from Asus though.
Just picked up this combo on ebay yesterday. Was only $19.99....
