Cases in Canada? - Nexus 7 Accessories

Has anyone found any decent cases available in Canada at B&M stores or available on line? amazon.com has a lot of really nice cases, but paying $35-$40 for S&H is not economical, and amazon.ca doesn't seem to have much of anything that I've seen.

Good question. I eventually settled on a case from Amazon and paid for shipping which was almost the price of the tablet. I think the popularity of the Nexus will lead to more cases being available in the retail market but who wants to wait ?

I decided to buy a blackberry playbook zip case. They sell those at 40$ at futureshop but on ebay you can get it at 10$ shipping included. I haven't received mine yet but i figured that it should fit nicely.

I picked up a CaseLogic neoprene sleeve for now. At least it will be covered while in my bag, and I'll pick something nicer when they become available.

It arrives Monday (same for my N7), so once I receive both, i'll post a quick update with pics.

I ordered and received this case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008D2Q8RG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=AHALS71WJO58T
shipping was only $6.49, and the case was $6 a little while back. this case will also have cheap shipping http://www.amazon.com/BLUREX-Leather-Multi-Angle-Google-Tablet/dp/B008D2POAS/ref=reg_hu-rd_add_1_dp and there will be others in the future

I bought the casecrown bold case from amazon.com. Came out to $20 shipped, whereas it is $30 on the .ca site. Didn't even check if there was shipping cost involved from .ca

Got a case from the source. Brand name gnarly fish its made for the 7 inch galaxy tab 2 but it'll do for now. I couldn't find anything else in town and I got a couple ordered from ebay on their way.

I also got a 7 inch gnarlyfish from the source its for a kindle but it works paid $15.

Hey Lord_Xovon - would you happen to have a link or item number for the case you got at the source?

I got a BlackBerry Leather Sleeve. It is tight fit with excellent quality.

I got this leather one by Lightwedge on sale at Chapters for $35.

In Canada, Hipstreet will be launching a few cases and accessories. They aren't on their site but these are the products:
HIPSTREET ASUS NEXUS 7 ROTATING CASE - HS-ANX7RTCS-BK
HS ASUS NEXUS 7 EXECUTIVE CASE - ANX7EXCS-BK
HS ASUS NEXUS 7 STANDING CASE - ANX7STCS-BK
HS ASUS NEXUS 7 CASE W/ KYBD - ANX7FKBCS-BK
HIPSTREET ASUS NEXUS 7 AF SCRN PROTECTOR - HS-ANX7AFSP

My Blurex has been shipped today. Ordered on July 25th they had to modify the too strong magnet, which was causing Nexus to be put to sleep when front flap was flipped behind.
Will review it as soon as I get it.

Yea, regular $70. It's somewhat overpriced at full price, but it's a good deal at $35.

cases/covers

since this is sold through google play store, will any store such as amazon.com for instance sell cases and such, the galaxy tab 2 7.0 has pretty much no cases and if they do there just kickstand type cases. mabye if this gains popularity it will get actual cases like otterbox and stuff.
Yes, there will be cases but i wouldn't expect a large number to be available till the end of July
No doubt they'll be plenty of case options in time. Just subscribing to this thread so we can share all that comes out together here .
I'm in Canada so the case on the Google Play site isn't available to me, it just says to enter my email if I want to be notified when it's available.
I was wondering how much it's listed for on the US Play site?
Just trying to get an idea if I should bother to wait until it's available or just get a cheap generic 7" tab sleeve type case until more options come out.
Nexus 7 Cover (Dark Grey) $19.99
the case in the US store is $19.99 but in the UK store we dont have a price yet hopefully mobile fun or amazon will sell erm
20 bucks isn't too bad, although I'll probably just wait for a $2 TPU case from Hong Kong.

That's what I'm planning on doing, but I think I'll splurge and get one with a stand for $3
Uh-Oh
Um, I'm in the U.S., but I'm getting a Coming Soon for the case. I don't want to pay another fourteen dollars for shipping when it does come back. What should I do? Does anyone else see this? Did they really run out of cases before tablets?:crying:
I am hoping I can order a 2 dollar silicone case from amazon and have it ready when the device arrives
Pretty much every major device release sees the accessories out before the device gets into peoples hands.
I always find though that no matter how much I spend on fancy otter boxes and targus leather cases I end up using my $2 TPU case with the cheap screen protector it came with.
Never mind, the case is back up. And, I ordered ASAP this time. My $200 tablet turned into $300 by the time I paid for shipping and taxes, but it's still worth it.
Omg these cases are so lame I can't believe people buy into this. Preordered one and not gonna baby it

Update: Asus put out its own press release on the Nexus 7, and there's a few details in there worth noting. Covering the front of the Nexus 7 is a layer of Corning FIT glass, while the display itself features Asus "TruVivid" technology. There's no details on what, if anything, that means in reality — but the Nexus 7 does have an IPS display with a 178-degree viewing angle. Asus also claims up to 9.5 hours of battery life; that's more than Google claims, so we'll have to wait until our review to see how it performs in reality. Lastly, there was a little more detail on the new "smart cover" — it's polymer with a matte texture, and will come in six different colors.

Default Google Case
Im in Japan right now and am not able to see the default Google case, or even purchase it. I had one of my co-workers purchase the 16GB Nexus and the case from Google for me so it will be waiting for me when I get back to the States . I've looked at a couple pictures of the case, but haven't found any good ones.
Does anyone know if the case has a stand? I saw that it was a flip case, but I wasn't sure whether or not it was similar to the Apple Smart Cover.
Thanks in advance. I can't wait to get back to the US!

Above is an actual TPU case for those who prefer TPU to silicone or random gel. It's about 12 USD after shipping but it's not in stock until 23 July, and is NOT Prime-eligible.

Nice looking, but I worried about the cut outs for everything. I will have to wait for someone to be the guinea pig to see how it fits and if everything lines up correctly. From the picture it doesn't look like there is a slot on the back for the speakers, but that might be just because its a stock photo.
Ultra Thin / Slim
I am hoping to see some ultra thin / slim types soon. 0.2mm 0.3mm or 0.5mm.
But a nice gel, jelly type (non-silicone) would be excellent. It's the type I prefer on my SIII as well..

amazon. Do a search for "nexus 7 exact tpu case" and it should come right up.
Personally, I'd like to see a nice tpu case with a "smart" cover that will work as a stand as well. The Asus cases aren't too bad looking, it's unfortunate they aren't smart covers, don't work as stands, and aren't TPU.

A near match for that would have been the Griffin Standle but they only ever made it for the iPad
most of these appear to block the speaker, which in all honesty isn't that loud to begin with.

Those are stock Kindle Fire pictures, that's why I mentioned I would like to see update pictures of it install on a N7 before I buy one. Looks like all the sellers of generic accessories are jumping on these same designs, release ranging from the 20th to 25th.. They must all be waiting for the same manufacturer
More vendors now, even showing up on ebay.
EDIT: Nice the ebay vendors actually have pictures of the Nexus 7 version with speaker, mic and usb cutouts. Covered power and volume rocker too..

Word of advice; in my experience with "super cheap" accessories, they're usually more trouble than they're worth. If you're spending $200+ on these devices save up and spend the extra $20+ to re-assure yourself that your device is truly protected. Amen? Lol

You can pay more for those same exact cases if it makes you feel that they would protect your device any better.. The neoprene sleeve can be bought at Staples, Office Deopt or Officemax for $19.99...
On my $600-800 cell phone, out of the dozen cases I've bought, I prefer the $2 ones the most, to each their own. YMMV.

$20? for a tpu cover? you'd have to be made of money. Ok they have some different designs for the surface detailing but in the end it's still just a basic tpu cover.

High quality or not, $20 is indeed pretty steep for a TPU. I could get a leather case with sleep/wake functions and a stand built in for $10 off eBay.
Should have been $10, or at a max $12.

I have 7 of the androidified cases for my gnex and gnote... They are very high quality and well worth the money, imo. The asus case is $20 and that thing is not only ugly but made of rubber, yet people are buying them, and there isn't even a wake feature! You're getting 3 cases for $40, thats what? $13 a piece? Sounds like a bargin to me
Thanks op... Funny, just last week I was on Amazon looking to see if they had any yet for the N7.

Just bought my N7 from GameStop yesterday and they had the official Google one there for $30, I went home to look back at the Cruiserlite case I had saved to buy when I got the N7 and saved $10.... If $20 is too much for you, get a cheapy TPU case, but this thing looks much nicer IMO, and besides, with $60 in game trades and $180 in store credit from swapping out an XBOX 360, this tablet only cost me $30 anyways....

The cruzerlite cases are not your typical "run of the mill" tpu that you would buy on ebay for $5, they are high quality tpu, best I've ever seen or used.

Different colors for different moods. I have 4 of the androidified case for my GNex and 3 for my GNote, all the same case but different colors.
Any real photos with the actual device?

Once I get mine ordered and received, I will create a new thread with some photos and my review. I dont give a full review but if there are any questions you want me to answer once received, let me know and I will add it to the review.

Thank you for that update. Instead of creating a new post in which you won't be giving a full review on the product, maybe you should just post the picture here. Sounds a little more productive, I think.....
Love this company's case but I'm going to wait too see if there going to come out with the rubberized tpu case they sell.

I've been buying cases from cruzer lite for some time now and I can't think of one case they have that is rubberized.....they have all been the traditional tpu, afaik. The "persona of Andy" cases are a little "softer" than the androidified cases, but still of the hard tpu.

Aren't all TPU cases "rubberized?" Not sure what you're referring to, Backslash10, got a link for one that is more rubberized than the one I bought?

Ringke Slim Available for Pre-Order

I was having a look through some cases on Amazon when I noticed the Ringke Slim is now available. I know these are usually very popular but I haven't seen them mentioned elsewhere on the forums so they must be brand new for the M8.
Available in black and white and come with a free screen protector. Only £6.99 delivered too. Quality looks fantastic from the pics, I've ordered a black one myself. Starts shipping from 15th of May.

Nice, thanks for the heads up.
I have the Ringke Slim on my Nexus 5 which is nice, but this one seems to be a bit better as it protects top and bottom.
I'm not sure why Ringke and Spigen are going with this recessed design along the antenna lines on the back of the case...

Probably to maintain the aesthetics of the phone, I like it personally.
Just got an email saying mine has been dispatched already
Mine is on its way as well.
I put in my order the day it was available, which was around the middle of April. Now, I've received the free screen protector (a 3 pack from Invisible Defender) but the case won't be getting her until next week. I've used the Ringke line since the GNex, and the SGS4, and both were very slim and fitted. I wonder how easy it'll be to put on and remove this iteration.
Did anyone else get a DHL tracking number with their Amazon dispatch email? Mine doesn't seem to work at all

I received a DHL tracking # April 23rd. Just shows shipping info received.
Would have been a good choice case for me if they'd done it in clear

So did anyone receive theirs? I've ordered one as a backup for my current case (Supcase Hybrid), so I'll pop up a review once it arrives.
Any opinions on this one from those who've received it?

I don't think anyone has received theirs yet
Hey guys, you have to notice that if the case has the same fit as on the Nexus 5 it is better to stay away because it's defiantly going to scratch the phone......but overall the quality is great.

It looks like a very different design to the N5 case. Additionally, plastic is softer than aluminium
Anybody get their case yet?

Not yet, but it's on its way. I'm hopeful it might arrive before the end of the week.
Haven't received mine yet either

Dispatched 2nd May, yeah I'm in the UK
My wife received hers today, and I'm slightly jealous. If they get some other colors, I may purchase one for myself as well. It's matte so it's a fingerprint magnet. The cutouts are great, and it's really a nice minimal case. Pics below!
