Does anyone know of a high durability otterbox-style case for the Nexus 7? I use my 7 at work and it's only a matter of time before it gets dropped on a concrete floor or flung across the room.
Looking for something myself. Anybody?

I just waiting patiently for the at least the otterbox commuter case if it becomes available.
I've emailed TridentCases (http://www.tridentcase.com/) if there will be a model coming out for the N7. Will let you know what they send me.
Have a look at this case http://www.pelicanprogear.com/product/Pelican-ProGear-1055CC-HardBack-Case-with-Liner/eReader-HardBack-Cases.

Unless they've changed their mind, they already said they don't have any plans to.

Yeah, I just got the following email from Trident Cases:
Hello,
Unfortunately no, we will not be making a case for the Nexus 7 but I will be sure to pass along the suggestion to our design team.

This seems a bit expensive, but are you looking for something like this? http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-REVOLU...id=1344906521&sr=1-15&keywords=poetic+nexus+7
flood the companies with emails, i bet if they see such a high demand for them it be hard to say no. But i bet you may be a while but otterbox will come with a commuter or a defender. Proably will be insanely expensive though for the defender :-/

yes it does
i have one. it works well but a hard shell instead of silicone would be much better imo. very bulkly compared to similar battery cases for other phones. It could have been designed much better

I'll get you some in a bit. But imagine your device doubled. And also I just leave it on as soon as both my both and the poweskin are charged and then I leave the power skin on and I continue to use my phone one the powerskin then I drain my normal battery. Most useful way. The other was is to drain the nexus battery then charge the phone with the power skin. But you don't get much juice because you are sing the phone and charging at the same time. All in all. I managed to get a total of 3 days total without being with a charger. AMAZING! But I don't like the bulk much.
Edit: can post pics? Got an email/

Got your pics man. That last shot you sent to show the thickness as compared to a pencil really told the story. Funny thing is, that's how "thick" my phone is now with my Seidio active case except the front part by the screen makes it a pain to do anything near the edge. For example, Swyping the letter P.

That was the plan. Having battery for days is extremely tempting. Good thing I'm already used to the thickness thanks to my current case.

Somewhat of a thread dig by the company rep, but for those interested PowerSkin also have the Nexus S 4G (which fits the Nexus S perfectly too) battery case for clearance sale at 9.99$ + shipping. Some might be interested.
I just ordered mine waiting for it to come.

None, but if you're desperate you might look at tin watercolour paint boxes.

thanks , I have seen that one, was wondering if there was more out. I have not seen any else like it thought.
I have a metallic case on my GSII LTE and it renders NFC/Android Beam useless. I have to take the case off every time I want to use NFC. Just a heads up.

That would be great. I thought it said it would not ship till august though?
Will definitely mess with NFC, also what about WiFi? May weaken the signals no?
I don't think so, many other types of phone and tablet have metal cases and seem to work fine.

Depends. A lot of phones that have metal cases have signal problems. Really depends on metal thickness, antenna power, and antenna position.
Really curious about this one. Anyone got it yet?
I, like most of you, am pretty underwhelmed at the quality of cases and covers available for the Nexus 7. Everything I've seen looks extremely bulking and makes the device look terrible. Does anyone know of any case that doesn't make the device look terrible. I just want something that has the smart unlock feature and that can fold to make a stand. The official case from google does none of those and I'm very disappointed in them. Though, I guess it was a lawsuit waiting to happen with Apple I guess

I love the idea, and Isaiah seems like a good guy that I'd like to support. My only worry is wear on the stress points of the material that's being used to cover the panels. Will it split or wear holes through where it flexes or supports weight?

They look good, but they look like $25 cases, but they seem to sell for $60. If this is a lot cheaper, I'd go for it.

This seems to be the one I'm going to get. It's $20 now, but says it is regularly $40. I'd like to see some reviews first but it seems it will work well. I wonder if the price will stay $20 or shoot up?

Normally prices on Amazon do not change after the cover is released. I did notice that the slim fit cover for moko changed by a few dollars after launch but nothing drastic. That could have also been because they did 2 recalls on it It is however a risk you take.
As for me I am waiting for some reviews.

Anyone know of a case that'll fit a Nexus 7 AND a large (ie: HTC One X) phone?
I often carry both with the Nexus tethered to the phone and would like something that could contain both.
This should hold all your gear:
I don't think I've ever seen a combined case, I don't know that that would necessarily be practical. Unless I'm at home, my phone usually lives in my pocket.

I, personally, don't want the phone in my pocket when I tether and I certainly don't want it sitting in plain (grabbable) sight when I'm sitting down using the N7 in poublic places.

I completely agree with you. I have been wanting a tablet/phone combo case since back in my nook color + EVO 4G days. I have a Galaxy note now. Not really practical to have it in my front pocket while sitting down. Plus the fact that if my signal is being sketchy due to my location, being in a pocket is just going to make it worse.

Leave it to the Germans to design something that spectacular! I wouldn't like it personally, too large, but I can see the appeal of it.

I would not like that as well, it looks bulky and heavy.
if a sleeve works for you the Mivizu 7" from Amazon has an external pocket so it might suit your needs.

I picked up the "KOZMICC" 7" sleeve on Amazon and it has a front zipper that fits just about any cell phone just fine (I use it with my Samsung Captivate).

I picked this travel case up at Target for about 12$... fits everything nicely.

Its actually not even in the electrinics department of target. Its in the camping supply area next to the travel stuff. Its labeled as an e-reader case and has a cardboard sleeve around it. I'm pretty sure the brand was Embark

Just an FYI, I had a similar case for my old Archos PMP. The elastic band wore away the finish on the PMP's frame after a bit of taking it out and putting it back in. I imagine that, if you're careful, it won't be a problem. And one advantage to plastic over metal is that there's no paint to abrade.
Thanks exactly what i was looking for!
That's the right one in the website posted but it says $16 online. It was definitely only $12 or $12.99 in store.
