Good THIN case? - Nexus 7 Accessories

So I got the rooCase off Amazon and while its decent it makes the tablet HUGE, like 4x the thickness. Anyone have any thon cases? I just want something to put it in when I throw it in my bag.

Maybe you should check out the KaysCase TPU cases. Not really any thin folios though.

My recommendation would be the slim-fit Moko case. I currently have the slim case but plan on getting good it with the free exchange. Moko has proven to be a great company and offered a free change for all the people who bought a case without the "smart cover" . It comes out on Wednesday.

Any thin cases that can do both portrait and landscape, as well as the magnet smart wake?

Found this one from the same company:
http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Rotating...343010232&sr=1-2&keywords=slim-fit+Moko+nexus
Not only does what I am looking for, but it also has an additional viewing angle over the other two moko cases. It doesn't mention it being thin, but it seems to have roughly the same dimensions as the ones that are listed as slim fit.
The main reason I want it slim is so that it can fit in a car holder, namely this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004M8ST36/
Can the moko cases fold back so that the flap isn't hanging out?

I decided to go with the rooCase bubble pouch. I like KT naked too much when I'm using it, I just wanted something to protect during travel

I want to be able to put the case in the car mount without having to remove it.

You guys have to remember about the back speaker needing space to sound ok

TPU
I keep searching and notice a lot more vendors have them available, TPU cases that is. Seems they are all selling the same 2 designs.
But this one has the largest color selection. For those looking for the White Backing

Just received an awesome case
I ordered this case in the UK a few days ago, just arrived, with a screen protector and a stylus pen aswell.
MOFRED® Case + Screen Protector + Stylus Pen
Built fantastically if slightly loose but not too much, makes the nexus 7 slightly thicker but is great build quality and the stylus pen is awesome.
Probably just as good as most others but only 6 pounds. Loving it. Hesitant to use the screen protector though.

Those colored TPU cases looks great, it's what I've been looking at on Amazon. The varied colors are sweet but I'd pick the white or the black.
That ebay link will take at least 2-3 weeks to arrive cause it comes from china. I'll probably order one off Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Exact-Design-Google-Android-Tablet/dp/B008LJKTGC?t=slickdeals&tag=slickdeals
And hope that it doesn't take that long. It's $6. Looks like Free Shipping. So I'm pulling the trigger on the black one.

I also bought this case. I have to say that I think it adds too much bulk. The stylus is actually great though. Not used my fingers since.
I've bought a gelaskin for the back and I'm gonna buy a slip to keep the N7 in when not in use.

The official non-bezel-covering unobtrusive case thread

I hate the cases that cover the bezel and basically leave only the screen viewable. I find they add bulk, get in the way of your fingers sometimes, etc. This is the thread for cases that don't do this. Preferably these cases have only 2-3 "layers." A lid (or not), the tablet, then the back, and the holding mechanism is typically kind of invisible or unobtrusive. I find it's generally the fourth layer in the middle that goes on top of the bezel or on the back where there's a rotation mechanism that adds the unneeded bulk. Hopefully these cases still allow you to pocket your N7. Personally I'd love some kind of TPU case with a kickstand, but no luck so far.

This poetic case differs slightly as it has a hand grip and elastic strap to hold the case closed.
I wonder how it compares to the kayscase one you posted (particularly how the stand holds up to slight shaking on airplanes)

I've been looking at that one myself, nice and slim but too expensive for what it is at £24 inc del (ignoring the vastly over-inflated 'original' price it was never sold at). I'll wait and see what price it ends up being sold for.
I have the top one listed. The black. Works good. Adds quite a bit of thickness but comes off easy. I think I'll use it to snap on when I leave the house and run nekkid when at home.
The Smart Cover works very well and doesn't turn the screen off when folded behind. I was wondering what that little lanyard loop was for, stylus. Good to know. Again it is nice that this case can just pop off whenever you need and not requiring any extra effort to get it off like a sleeve or a tight fit. The N7 is pretty snug in there but comes off with little effort.
I have the slim Poetic Smart Case on order. I like a thin profile. So far I've tried a TPU case and this one. As long as the Poetic doesn't have some major flaw, I'll probably switch to that once I get it. Sure it's $20 but I spent $30 for my Ringke Slim for my Galaxy Nexus.
I have this one, which I just posted a review about, with pics:

I prefer the cases which allow the 360 degree rotation, so those will be a bit bulkier. Don't mind it though since I prefer the versatility over the slight bulkiness.

There are a few minor differences hence multiple links. Some are different prices, some will be out of stock, some have a stylus loop, some come in different colors, some have a differently designed speaker cutout, etc. So I didn't feel it was redundant.
Remove all Amazon referrer links.
The official case doesn't really cover much bezel

For a book reader like myself, the official cover is great and doesn't really cover the bezel, and its still able to maintain a relatively thin profile.

I agree. I was hoping for a thread like this to pop up thank goodness
I also hate bezel covering cases. Hopefully more pop up.
I'd waiting on a nexus 7 version of http://www.incipio.com/BlackBerry-PlayBook-Cases-Accessories/Incipio-BlackBerry-PlayBook-Executive-Premium-KICKSTAND-Leather-Case.asp
Waiting for the MoKo to come out with more colors! Love this style but it would be perfect if it had a kickstand in the back for portrait mode. Not sure why anyone hasn't made one like that yet.
Please keep this thread updated! I'm still holding out on buying a new case until I find one that's just what I want (I already have a cheapo case protecting my N7 for the time being). Thanks!
I would like something that doesn't snap over the back cover but replaces it similar to what the galaxy note has since the back just snaps off. Here is an example of a very ugly one I can't find the matte black or white ones with a quick google search but they exist link. The only addition I would like to see is the tri fold front cover with magnet to make it a smart cover like this case. If the case had the same outside texture as the stock back that would be a bonus as well. I doubt we will get one though.
I have the poetic case ams and it works quite well.
It's still thin and pocketable while offering great protection due to the sturdy front cover.

Anybody waiting for better cases?

I liked the Poetic Slimline with the smart cover, but I'm hoping for something a little more quality. Anybody else holding out for better cases or is this best we've seen?
Yeah, I know what you mean. I made the mistake of impulse buying the Asus TPU case that doesn't stay closed. I'm currently tempted by the Portenzo Hardback because I like the idea of it looking like a moleskin book, but I'd also like something that didn't require "adhesives" and could pivot on a desk.
I have order the nilkin tpu case but im waiting something better with smart cover from bigger players like belkin...
I am. I went with a Portenzo initially but the case just didnt meet my expectations so Im in the market for sometihng new. I like the Blurex slim fit folio but I dont really want a black case.
I'm waiting for rokform to come out with a case... rokform.com I emailed them and asked if they were in the process of making a case and they said yes but no eta.

I just ranted a bit on another thread on this.
I sure hope someone, somewhere comes out with a decent case. Of seems everyone else making 7 inch tablets or EReaders seems to come out with very nice slime cover/cases ((Samsung, amazon kindles, hell even kobo). It has been long enough already.
To answer the question directly, yes I'm waiting anxiously for anything better.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Nope. I usually am all about craftsmanship, etc. but for some reason, a cheapo case is good enough for me. I guess because the "better" cases are almost always also bulkier and/or gaudier.
Edit: by the way, I have the same case as the OP and it does everything I need a case to do...basically protect the screen when shoved in a bag and not cost too much.
I'm waiting for Incipio to get their offerings on the table. A Lexington or LGND version would be great.
Hey guys,
we might have a couple of new winner:
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/624779051/leather_case_for_google_nexus_7.html
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/624836033/google_nexus_7_leather_case.html
They are similar to the poetic slimfit but hopefully they don't have the draw back and flaws.
(they seem to better protect the device than the other slim ebay cases)
I already asked the manufacturer if the cover properly fold all the way back, and if the auto sleep/wake function is triggered when the cover is fold back. waiting for the answer.
The problem: we need to buy at least 100 cases (wholesale manufacturer) ...
and I wasn't able to find these cases from a reseller neither on ebay nor on amazon ?

The defender cases are a little absurd unless you work construction or are in a war zone but I have the Commuter case for the Galaxy Nexus and It feels like a solid part of the phone. It adds about a cm in all directions to it but it's really worth it if you want good protection and a really solid feel. It's really the first case I've ever had that felt like part of the phone.
Commuter for M Pics
Got the Commuter in last night, thought you guys might like some pics.
imgur.com/a/NuwBV (Can't post links yet, sorry. Just copy&paste.)
Overall Impression: Excellent case. Fits perfect in the hand, giving me a confident grip I didn't have with the naked M. It is the most painless install/removal of an Otterbox I've ever experienced; Simply line it up at the top, drop it down and it seats perfectly. The silicone used is so far not attracting any dust or other particles, and if it does they simply wipe off. Included screen protector fits well, however it had a bad case of rainbow banding in certain light (such as at my workplace) making it impossible to use there. Highly Recommended! :highfive:
Trident confirmed yesterday that they are producing cases for the M. One that interests me is the Aegis model. Its a competitor to the Otterbox Commuter and Incipio style cases. They will launch their line the end of this month or beginning of November. I just purchased the Boxwave Duosuit. Should be here Friday. I'll let y'all know how that one turns out.

Picked up a black commuter the other day. Really wanted the white one for my white phone, but they didn't have it, and I wasn't going to wait after seeing it in front of me.
Fits great, seems plenty protective, and the phone doesn't feel bulky to me. The black case leaves a little room where a "white line" from the white phone shows up, kind of a cool little accent. Would recommend for $35 for sure.

I got the Defender about two weeks ago. Yes...the case is bulky but I do spend some of my work days on construction sites. I love the case.
My only complaint is the latches in the hard inner case. The top, bottom and USB side latches are all solid. Maybe it's because the volume/power button side only has 1 latch but it rarely stays latched. Fortunately, the outside rubber case keeps most of the free play of that side to a minimum.
Biggest complaint: cheap ass belt holster. Cheap material. Kick stand won't even stand up with the phone in the holster. I can't believe they use that as a selling point because it won't even come close to keep the phone from falling over. What a joke!! No lock on the holster latch and it would be EASY to bump the latch, allowing the phone to fall out. Very easy!
The holster is a joke in comparison to the Seidio clip lock holster that I had with my Blackberrys. Much better latch, a lock and better materials. I mostly keep the phone in my pocket because I'm scared of my phone falling out of the holster. The case is nice but it won't protect the phone if it falls15+ floors from one of my projects.
Good case. Terrible holster. Worth $35 instead of $50.

Slim Flip Case

About to pick up a 7 today and want to get a good case for it. I'm looking for one that adds very little bulk, yet has a flip cover and that doubles as a stand. I've seen the Poetic Slimline and Speck Fitfolio so far and both seem pretty good but I just want to make sure I haven't missed any other options. Thanks!
I kind like how this case looks.

It's durable, feels good to carry around and has a lifetime warranty so if you wear it out they'll send you a new one.
The poetic slimline falls apart after about a week. It's good while it lasts.

If you're the type of person that prefers quality made things then stay away from the Poetic case! I regret buying the Poetic. I just barely received it today and can't stand this cheap quality case.

Thats pretty cool looking. Looks alot like my Speck case.
My buddy has a poetic case and between my Speck and his the speck is a bit better. His is slightly thinner but the magnetically closing front isnt as good as the specks clasp. The clasp holds much better in a bag than the magnet and the speck has far superior viewing angles for the stand.

So don't order this case: http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Magnetic...75047&sr=1-6&keywords=moko+slim+folio+nexus+7
The seller never shipped it and after 3 days since the expected delivery, and no way to contact the seller, Amazon had to refund the order.

What cases is everyone using?

Exactly what the title asks.
This is not a thread for what you think is the best N5X case out there. This thread is for you to post what case/s you use and your experience with it.
It is also to help other users find new cases that they may like.
Maybe include a link if you think it's good.

Spigen Air Cushion CLEAR: http://amzn.to/1NS1asB
I purchased one of these. They fit perfectly and is the thinnest case that I can find. It's a matte finish so there's plenty of grip. My only gripe is the shipping time. It took roughly 2 weeks for delivery.

I have both the Adopted case (perfect cutouts and fit) and the black Diztronic slim fit case. I like the Diztronic case more and it's what I use.

How's the grip on that case compared to the naked phone? It looks quite thin in the pictures which is what I'm looking for.

The grip is almost exactly like the naked phone. If I had to give it a scale from 1-10 (10 being naked phone grip) it would fall around 7-7.5.
Here's 2 pictures of the case on my phone. Sorry for the ****ty pic, It's a random camera I found in the office.

To add to the thread, I'm using the Diztronic case now that I've received the modified version with proper mic holes.
Case is fairly bulky as expected but their matte plastic is some of the best in the business and the grip is top notch.
I'm hoping to find an ultra thin case with little to no lip, such as the official LG made Hardshell (or Shield) case for the Nexus 5.

Oh wow that looks almost exactly like the N5 case I was talking about. Thanks for sharing!
I found a seller on Canadian side of Amazon as well, but no from the U.S site. Odd.

When I bought my hardshell for my N5 it came from Canada as well, didn't see a U.S seller for a couple months after. I hope this one has the same feel and thinness to it.

I have Tudia Ultra Slim Full-Matte case for my phone. Have it for 2 weeks. I like it, it fits perfectly + all the ports/hols are there.

I got the Spigen Thin fit case. Good grip, a protective lip and adds very little bulk: http://www.spigen.com/collections/nexus-5x/products/nexus-5x-case-thin-fit?variant=6502712001
Spigen thin fit, barely know it's there. Also, a tempered glass screen protector.

How's does the projection on phone edges and top/bottom open parts of the phone?

I'm using incipio ngp case

Enjoying it so far
This is a CaseMe Nexus 5X leather folio case. I got it for $10 on eBay. Thought I was going to get something lower quality for $10 but this case is actually solidly built, well stitched, and has a good feel to it.
