I want to start carrying my A7 to work with me everyday, but I hesitate until I get a case. I'd like a case like the one shown for the nook...one that cover the A7, but gives access to the ports and maybe can function as a stand...what is everyone finding, and what seems to work for a cover?
I love mine.
It's reviewed here under Ebay Case review.
Casecrown for A7
I received my crowncase case today. Fits well, is cheap and does the job.
I went to Best Buy with my a7 and tried every case they had - and they had a lot. i wanted a case like some made for the nook where the device is inside the case but you can open the flap on the front to access the screen. No dice. I tried a about 12 different e-reader and tablet cases but none of them worked that well. I needed something to protect my tablet so i went with a $20 red neoprene case made by Rocketfish. It fits perfectly and i do like it, but I still have to take it out of the case to use it. That's the only downside to it.
I have to agree with the assessment of the Casecrown A7 case. I bought mine through Amazon and got it with no issues. I do find it a wee bit tight but am hoping that it loosens up a bit if I keep the A7 in it overnight, etc. It's a case, it protects (mostly), and it's cheap. I think that's about as good an endorsement as we'll get.
I have the case off of ebay that is listed in another thread, and it works great. Access to al ports, and fits well too. For 8 bucks, you can't beat it.
Elocity stated that they have finished the design for a nice leather case for the A7. The last I heard was that it should appear for sale on there site soon. That's the one I'm waiting for.
Picked up a Body Glove by Fellowes at Walmart $14.95
Roocase Superbubble
Roocase Superbubble
Neoprene half-zip case with front pocket, almost identical to the Body Glove case they sell at Wal-Mart, the little bubbles absorb shock if you drop it. Just received it and the A7 fits perfectly!
BTW got mine at amazon.com for $20 with shipping

Which bublle case did you get. There is a bunch listed. One for 6" e-reader and 1 for Galaxy tablet, etc.
Thanks,

Ebay case
I ordered the eBay folding cover described here...it is cheap, not very well made, and does not hold the A7 well at all...it does not even close properly because the computer is too big...it only cost 7.95, but is not even worth that

Still not clear. That link shows search results for anything matching "roocase" from MacBook Air's, to Netbooks, to Kindles. Which one specifically did you get?
My apologies again!

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I need a case.
A7 Case
I have not seen any cases for A7 that allow use while inside case. what I bought was a "GRIFFIN JUMPER" for eReaders. Found at walmart around $14. Its more like a envelop with ample padding top and bottom and fuzzy inside and heavy stiched edges. Its a pretty tight fit but it does completely cover and protect.
I use a Belkin 7" tablet sleeve. Its a tight fit but does the job.

Received my CaseCrown black faux suade zipper case today. Exactly what I was looking for.
Fit is a little snug when trying to zip it shut, but I think it will stretch slightly over time.
case + stand + keyboard
Why buy anything else

Hey guys,
So I just picked up my Nexus 7, and I am looking around for a case until something more to my liking comes out (incipio, otterbox)
I found this http://www.amazon.com/Timbuk2-Kindle-Ballistic-Envelope-protection/dp/B005K2XM94/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1342580628&sr=8-10&keywords=kindle+fire+sleeve
Do you guys think it will fit the nexus 7?
Any other suggestions for a sleeve like case?
It'll probably fit, but I would get a regular Nexus 7 case from Amazon since the one in your link is $20.00, there are cases for the Nexus 7 that are half that price that you could use until a good one comes out.
I have a Marware Fire sleeve, and it does NOT fit. The N7 is longer.
I ended up getting this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004LSUR3M/ref=ox_ya_os_product
It should give me enough protection until a case that I love comes out.
The reviews for it said that it is a little longer than required for the Fire, so hopefully it will just be perfect for the Nexus 7. If not, Amazon has a great return policy.

I picked up a Belkin Pleat Sleeve for the Kindle Fire from Target for $9.99. It was marked down from $29.99. Fits the Nexus 7 perfectly. I'll use it until the Moko Slim Fit case arrives.
I was happy to find an inexpensive case that I could buy and use immediately. The N7 was looking naked and unprotected.
It will be at least a week before my order for the Moko Nexus 7 case arrives.
Meanwhile, I found a good inexpensive temporary case: the Belkin Pleat Sleeve for the Kindle Fire on sale at Target for $9.99. I believe it is being discontinued as new cases for the current Kindle model is being introduced. (The similar case for the new Kindle is $29.99.)
The case looks like the one in this Youtube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48J0JsAPvjs
The fit is pretty much perfect. Nice and snug, not loose, not larger than the case. The cases come in black and plum.
too lazy to check the link, does it block the camera?

It's a sleeve, not a case with a cutout.
Yeah I'm looking in the market for a case.. But I wanted to see what you guys would recommend for a case I'm not trying to go over 20$ but that's without shipping lol...

MoKo is a great product line available on amazon.

I'm currently using this:
http://www.casecrown.com/kindle-fire/hard-cover/case-black
which is working fine but would like a book style case where the cover also doubles as a stand...similar to this one, which I have for the iPad:
http://www.casecrown.com/ipadn/omni/case-black
Would even go for one in leather if Yoobao made one.
What's the best case under thirty dollars

I just ordered the yoomee case from amazon.
its only $6, techincically its for the fire, but fits the nexus perfectly, and even has a strap that you can put a magnet under turning it into a smart cover
geek.com has the article, but I can't post the link because i am a noob to the forums.
it will work until they start making quality cases that are form-fitted correctly.

If you want a good sleeve try the timbuk2 kindle fire plush sleeve, fit is nice and firm
Folks,
If you just picked up a Nook HD or Nook HD+ for the Mothers Day Sale, your local Staples B&M store (USA only) has the Nook HD accessories on clearance. I picked up the OEM charging kit (wall charger with charging cable - http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/pow...26257001?ean=9780594481904&isbn=9780594481904) for $5 and also got a nice case (Groovy Stand in Storm HD+ - http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/groovy-stand-in-storm-hd/26210964?ean=9780594545798) for $5. As usual YMMV as Staples is clearing out all Nook related stuff.
Sweet! I'll have to go check it out. Sounds great, thanks for the tip.

I guess it's just on a per store basis. I just checked my local Staples and there are no discounts on Nook accessories. A very limited amount remaining, but not on clearance.

My Staples did not have anything, Nooks or accessories. They are definitely closing out the product.

I have a couple of staples close by - nothing at either one. Thanks for your guides by the way, running 10.1 through a Samsung SD card right now. Really like this device.
edit on that Samsung card
I tried a couple of them, initially each worked but eventually would not boot CWM. Can not post this in the thread on the working cards, don't have 10 posts yet here.
Went to staples in valparaiso indiana. They still had a few cases and a couple chargers. Barnes and nobles has their cases for 25. Found a great rotating case that has plastic feet instead of grooves. In portrait and landscape mode the tablet is very sturdy. Only 1 position butvery good. Great folio design I hadn't seen before.
Thanks for the tip. Staples near me had three $5 Power Kits and a $14 folio case. Passed on the case, but I bought all 3 Power Kits. Last weekend at B&N I bought one for $15, I need to drop by the store soon to resolve another issue so I'll return that for a credit. Three for one, not bad.
If anyone wants a case, let me know. I found a bunch of em at a Staples by me at work.

How much did you pick up the cases for? I found the poetic on amazon, but didn't know if they are any cheaper from staples.

Pretty cheap. Good luck finding them though.
The official case is the best IMO. Powers the screen on/off when you open/close the cover. I have 3 HD & 2 HD+ cases. Normally $40/$45 respectively.
Picked up the Groovy cases in Black for $4 each and the stock Nook chargers for the HD+ for $2 each. Quite the bargain

I have the Poetic case bought from Amazon for $6. It has the same smart cover feature as you described. I did check my local staples but they didn't have any Nook accessories in stock. So this is definitely YMMV...
anyone able to compare the slimline poetic to the groovy case? I bought the poetic, but I'm liking how the groovy looks in the pictures.
Thanks to the info on Staples closing out their nook stuff, I found a fine MEdge Incline 360 case for the Nook HD there and it rang up at $5. Its a combination case and stand. Dark purple leather with suede-like interior. Its not perfect because it uses elasticized straps around the corners (that make using the power and volume buttons difficult) but its still pretty great.

I got a Poetic case too, but $9.95 delivered. It is black with gray interior and hand strap to hold. Secures around the corners and has two grooves to set the device. Was going to get the 360 case, but read where the portrait mode is not stable, so falls down. Same problem with my iPad 4 and went back to a similar case like the Poetic for that as well.
Nice that the wake function works by default with CM 10.1. Magnet must be strong, since the display goes off when still almost three inches away from closing.
I got a Nook HD+ Groovy Stand in Storm from my nearby Staples in Miami for $ 4.00, could not find the charger.
I wonder if its too late to go looking. Just got my Nook HD+ a few days ago but all the posts by people on xda and slickdeals about nabbing the clearance accessories are like a month old.

I've been checking in the northern New Jersey area with no luck. I purchased an extra charger from Tiger Direct for 13.00 and ordered the Poetic Graph Grip case with a sleeve.
