Decalgirl is a great store! I used their skins on my wife's Nook and my old PSP. Still holding up since day one....this has been about 5 years or whenever the PSP was released. I have the Japanese model .

I've used Zen and Zen revisited on a number of laptops but since my N7 will be in a case the whole time a skin is not going to be worth buying. ymmv of course.

Been waiting for a uk seller of them as i usually make my own designs....see some of the threads I've made titled skin for evo 3d and desire hd

Would be awesome to see some of these in action. I would definitely consider purchasing one for the backside atleast.

I've used this site a number of times over the years and I really like their stuff. My only concern would be how well decals would stick to the rubbery back of the Nexus. If anyone gets one I'd be interested in hearing about your experience.

I'm glad I didn't pre-order a skin before getting my Nexus 7. Having a skin on the back would be cool, but with the textured rubber backing on the Nexus 7 it's not practical.

Vote to get Case-Mate's 'Barely There' case for Nexus S

I went through 3 or 4 different cases with my old Vibrant. None of them were good enough by being too big, being too lose, having an uncomfortable material, etc. Then I got Case-Mate's Barely There case and completely fell in love! I'd really like to get one for the Nexus S as well.

I have mine from my Nexus One but I also got one of those Samsung ones and two from DCmugen on ebay. DCmugen has pouches like the one that came with the Nexus One and they carry them in different colors.

I just voted!! I went to the website & they have it for the Nexus One. So hopefully they will roll it out to us Nexus S users. Thanks for the tip, mate.
Looks like its #1! i think
Indeed! Woot! Now hopefully they can get to it stat!
Great work everyone!
Hopefully we'll see a case soon.
they said there would be a pop! case available next month, do any of you guys have experience with the pop case for other phones? does it add a lot more bulk than a barely there case?

I would stay away from ROO cases. I had one for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 white and it left two marks on the back of it, where it seemed to have rubbed the finish off.

I like this guy. Deadmau5 pic and demanding genuine leather! I'm hoping for a case from these guys: http://www.vajacases.com/ - Got one for my PlayBook last year and it's awesome.
Shame they got shipped and delivered to the UK first yet there are very few accessories released here yet. Will be a while until we have a genuine leather case with the 'smart' magnetic bit.
that case has been on sale for years. it's so ugly. Giant leather bondage strap holding down your nexus 7? ugly.
I picked up a leather smart case similar to this one at Big Lots for $8.00. High quality material ! They have lots of 7" case options there for a budget price......scrarch resistant screen protectors , stylus pens , bluetooth speakers etc....
BigLots. com serach the left hand side by ELECTRONICS to see their tablet stuff.
I say patience is a virtue. We all know the tablet for what it is. You either like it or you don't. Most of us have already pre--ordered and are waiting for them to arrive right now.
As far as the caes go, I'd rather feel what they're like in my hand. Via pictures of cases online, 10 look great for ipad and other devices, however only 1-2 actually feel and function as nice as they seem to be described and pictured online.(not cheap feeling, or feeling like they'l literally fall apart, lacking features cleverly not pictured, etc.

For me none of the cover/cases on Amazon (I was at the local Best Buy to take a look at 7" stuff) are aesthetically pleasing. I ordered a "padded pouch" off Etsy.com and I'm gonna get a sturdy "case" when one becomes available.

Wow, those Vaja cases look cool. Way too pricey though.
you lost me at vegan leather.

Incipio are making cases

Hi Folks,
I emailed Incipio last week to see if they intended making covers for the N7 like they do for the Ipad and they emailed me back last night to say they are releasing a range of products but no details are available yet, but to keep an eye on their website and there should be info there soon. Would really like a Incipio feather case for my 7 along with a smart cover..
Hopefully in the next few weeks we'll have more info
Cheers,
Mick

Hope they make the legend case! Its the best case I've seen so far
These cases are amazing. I've Put some cash aside for when these are released. Even the international shipping seems reasonable. I'm surprised there isn't more mention of these on the forum rather than all the cheap plether bulky rubbish everyone seems to like! No accounting for taste!
Any updates on this?
I got this response from them yesterday. I did ask about which specific cases might be available but no details yet.

Thank you for your follow up email. We do have plans to be making cases for the Nexus 7, however they’re currently in development so we do not currently have an estimated release date for the cases. I apologize for any inconveniences, however if you have any other questions, feel free to let us know.

Kind Regards,

Exactly. Google is selling tons of these things and it's been over a month now. I want to give my money to anyone that comes out with a "tank" case but no one is stepping up to the plate.

Maybe it's because lots of friggin people want to friggin buy them?
...or maybe it's because one size fits all and so it's easier to get one to market early.
No company can set up, tool up and manufacture quality products at the drop of a hat never mind them wanting to make sure there's going to be a sustainable market for it.
I realise that moaning is one of the US national pastimes but these forums are international and believe me it gets very old very quickly having to trawl past all these whinging posts to try and find the good stuff.
/nuff said.
sweet looking forward to getting one

Oh please. I'm not one of the complainers on this board and my post was not whining. These tablets have been selling like hot cakes and it's been out for long enough where someone should be making a hard case by now.

i agree with this. i also believe google announced the tablet and released it 2-3 weeks later and didn't work with anyone on accessories. perhaps it was to generate sales of their case, but the consumer got screwed. i'm not a fan of the asus case. from day one i wanted a leather case and over a month later, i'm still limited in my choices becasue companies are still working on their cases. i emailed marware last week and they still said 4-6 weeks.
OMG can this come any sooner?? :crying:
$30 for a sleeve? Are you guys seriously melting over this?
Talk about low standards.
Incipio makes decent cases, but they're always way overpriced. I got the N7 because of its value, and this is going to carry over with my accessories for it. If I wanted to overspend, I would have gotten an iPad.

Anybody know where I can get quality affordable skins for the Nexus 7?

Just as the title states, does anybody have any suggestions on where to find some fairly good quality skins for the nexus 7? I have found some on xoskins and amazon but not sure on the quality so I'm hoping somebody has some experience...
Thanks!

Check out Decal Girl. They offer some really cool skins. http://www.decalgirl.com/
+1 on decal girl, still have the skin on my original psp, that was bought in 06. Perfect condition, and now they sell matte finish for no fingerprints.
If I get a chance when I get back home I will take a pic of something I have skinned.
List of other devices of mine currently skinned by decal girl:
Xbox 360 (fat)
Xbox 360s
PS3 Slim
Amazon Kindle 4
(Wife's) MyTouch 4G
(Wife's)Ipod Touch 4th Gen
DS Lite
Acer Aspire One
and 2 Guitar Hero les Paul guitars
Ok thanks guys! Are they removable if I get a replacement?
Please hit thanks if I helped! Sent from my GS3
I've always gotten my skins from Gelaskins. Cellphones, iPods, tablets, Kindle, even one for my Beats. I just bought a skin for my N7 and have been using it for about a week. Love it. Good quality, very durable, stays put, and comes off clean. Plus, they have some really interesting and different artwork, or you can upload your own.
The decal girl skins come off clean for replacements, I have never removed them from any of my devices, but my wife changes outher skin every 4-6 weeks. Never any residue, and if you dont tug on it too hard removing it, they can be reused.

Deciding between these two

So before anyone says, yes I have read reviews. However, I couldn't find a specific review regarding these items. Maybe I'm slow, but I've also been awake now for close to 30 hours. So excuse me. ;p
I am deciding between these two keyboard/case combos:
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Keybook-Google-Android-Tablet/dp/B008IEGS2Y/ref=cm_rdp_product
or
http://www.amazon.com/KHOMO-Rotatin...omatic/dp/B0099QZ2BI/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Particularly leaning towards the khomo, since overall I think I like the design better. Plus it has a higher ratio of 5 stars.
Anybody tried these two and have any opinions on which one to snag? I think the Khomo one fits my style overall..but if it's vastly inferior to the poetic book (which I've seen mentioned here several times) I'll just get that one.
I have the poetic one for the nexus 10. Its nice but the keys around the edge stick on the fake leather sometimes. It can be annoying.
Problem is if you look closely i believe both of those have the same keyboard.
Alright, well either way I just ordered the Khomo one, but with free shipping since I think it's ridiculous to pay half the price of the item for faster shipping. ;p When I receive it, I can throw up a review of it I suppose.
Was going to say the Khomo one is going to be very bulky but I guess you'll find out how much for yourself

I have the first one the poetic. It's ok. Honestly I am going to get a Logitech keyboard for it instead now. The one where the case for the keyboard turns into a stand. The keyboard on the poetic is just way to small. Great for 3 year olds lol
