Genuine Leather Cases / Sleeves - Nexus 7 Accessories

Want to create a list of genuine leather (not PU) sleeves and cases.
Found this on ebay, haven't seen it mentioned here before:

Sena has some nice but pricey options:

Using a repurposed Boxwave Elite sleeve I had for an old Kindle in the meantime, but it is synthetic. They seem to have added a bunch of new cases for the N7 that might fit the bill.

I'm using my Kindle Fire case that I got from Joe V Leather: http://www.joevleather.com/store/index.php
Fits well but covers the headphone jack.
I emailed the company and they are working on a Nexus case.

YooMee Leather sleeve. Perfect fit.

I heard back from Vaja that they are planning to make a N7 case, but no timeline.
Also would also recommend Noreve cases made in France.

Also can be found on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Asus-Google-N...F8&qid=1353087299&sr=1-2&keywords=noreve+case

I would highly recommend the Noreve case. So good in fact that I may just get another one, in a different colour and finish. I am beyond pleased with that thing.

Seems one of the drawbacks - which your Noreve case doesn't have - of all these stand-up folio style cases are that the lower portion where the case folds & clips onto the corners of the Nexus seems to clasp very tightly.
Thus making it difficult to stand the N7 up quickly or easily because push the clasp down & extracting the N7 to stand it up is difficult.

I never feel the need to "stand it up", so I don't mind. Whatever fits your needs, I suppose.
http://www.kevikev.com/Yoobao-Executive-Leather-Smart-Cover-Case-for-Google-Nexus-7-LCGOGN7.htm
For example I would hate something like this, for two reasons :
1. The border around the frame is just downright ugly. Not only that, but it also takes up too much of the screen.
2. The thing on the back which allows it to stand up is ugly too. Even when you put it flat down on the tablet it'll be wobbly because of it.
To each his own

Great find and price at $7. Do you have any other retailer links? Amazon won't ship to Canada and I can't seem to turn up another source.

Just finished my quick review for The Gadgeteer, it'll be up in a couple of days but as a sneak peak it's fine. I can hold the case upside down and the Nexus doesn't fall out That being said I normally carry or store it on it's side anyway.

I'm looking for a sleeve that will fit with the tpu case. Any ideas?

The Saddleback one will, because it's leather and will stretch to fit whatever you put in it. It will be tight initially but will eventually mold itself nicely.

My final review of the Saddleback Medium Gadget Pouch is here. Any questions ask away.

There are a few nice ones on ebay easecase and such but if you add a gell case to it your best bet is to make one for now. Just head to your local leather store and go for it my first attempt turned out alright but now that I have the diminsions down I should be able to make a proper one.

Got one also...had it a week, no problems. Didn't bother with the screen protector.
I keep the streak with the glass in, and after all, the screen is GLASS.
I've dropped it from waist height twice, no damage.

Add them together and you have a belt clip.
Kinda pricey tho but its looks slim and sleek.

Do you have a link to one? I cannot find anything on their website nor find any Streak ones on Ebay..
Have you used this ULTIMATEADDONS case and any of their adapters? It looks vary attractive, I'm tempted to get their system and I thought that maybe some one can share their experience with the brand?
I'm the type of Streak user that hates all the bulky Otter-type rubbers and protectors.
I also want to wear my Streak on my belt like I have all my devices in the past.

easecase store on ebay
I bought one of these and they are well made. They will make them to your custom dimensions, so if you use a TPU case or Oterbox case on your phone you can still get a case to fit. At the time I ordered mine they did not have a Streak (or a dummy phone) to use for a template so they would not put an opening for the headphone connection in the case. I modified mine after I received it. I got the D3 style.
I've got one coming from easecase with the headphone and charging port cut-outs. As Marvin stated, they do not have a streak or dummy phone to get measurements, so I did some photo mock-ups and sent it to them. Mine will be built for a streak in a Commuter case. Obviously, I assume all the risks on the placement of the cutouts I indicated on the mock-ups.

At the time it was the only case I could find that would fit the Streak with a case on it. easecase made it to specifications that I supplied, so you can have it made exactly how you want.
Yes - it cost too much, but of the very limited choices it was the best I could find.
There used to be a leather shop (the kind that sells hobby stuff) nearby. If you know of one try going in and asking if they know any people doing custom work. At the one that was near my house there were usually a couple of people working on projects right a a table in the store and they would do stuff like a wallet for reasonable prices. If that place was still open I would have gone there first.

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.

So far these are all basically Folio cases.
All those case are exactly the same except for the Kay's. Theres a few different ones one ebay too. Im waiting for a nice slim case too, one like the poetic smart case.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008IEGS9W/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&smid=A29LLD0WGS56WE
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.

any reviews on the i-blason one. i'm tempted to buy but am very stingy with my money ha
These cases look great, especially the Kays. Unfortunately, they don't ship to Australia.
I'm considering just buying the Asus case and adding a magnet.

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.

The colored i-Blason cases seem to cover half of the speaker. Anyone own one of these? I'm thinking about getting the blue one. I'd like to know if this is a problem.

Amzer Neoprene Sleeve

Hey everyone!
I know there have been other threads about cheap neoprene sleeves, and pouches, but I have found an interesting neoprene sleeve.
It is made by Amzer, and has a very unique feature that I have not seen in any other neoprene sleeves.
Here are some pictures:

Notice on the right that there is actually an extra layer INSIDE the pouch.
It sells for $19.95 USD, plus shipping costs depending on your region.
Here is a video on the sleeve:
EDIT: Thanks to Sqaures, here is a short review of the sleeve:
For those who are interested in ordering, you can check it out on their official site HERE
It is also available on Amazon. LINK: Canada, US, or UK
EDIT: Thanks to KryptosXLayer2, people who live in the US can get it HERE for a much cheaper price.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to get my hands on one of these for my Nexus 7 , but hopefully will be able to get one soon :good:.
Just wanted to share my findings , also if anyone has found a similar and cheaper product please share! I have been looking desperately haha.
hi!
Thanks very much! I think i've settled on wanting pouch now after nearly every case is leather style!!
You are very welcome , glad I could help! What type of leather cases have you tried so far?
I've not bought any but i've seen a couple and i just find the leather look dated! plus some of the designs add too much bulk imo!
I was hoping for more of an iPad smart cover look but i suspect Asus and Google didn't fancy a law suit!
Yea, I have done my fair share of searching. I just want something to protect my tablet on the go, a pouch is great for that. No zippers, metal/rough edges, just neoprene .
Just ordered it. should get it next week!
Look forward to the review, the dimensions look tight!

I've got a Cruzerlite case on mine and wondered how easy it would be to insert / remove from a neoprene case - anyone have any experience with a case? I like this one, but saw some really cheapy ones similar to it on eBay for A DOLLAR, SHIPPED:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Neoprene-Sl...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item4169968faa
What makes this worth $20 compared to the dollar neoprene case? I'm not being harsh, there were people on the Cruzerlite thread saying the same thing about $5 TPU cases and the Cruzerlite not being worth $20, but I liked the Android Clone Army on it, okay, so there.... Just want to know why I should go with this before I spend the money, I like the second pouch on the inside, but if you're not planning on bringing cables with you, is it worth it?
EDIT - also found this one on eBay for $17.57 shipped currently:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Amzer-Neopr...536299?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item33799b0bab
@KryptosXLayer2:
Great find on eBay for people who live in the US, I'll update the original post.
As for the reason that this sleeve is different from other cheap ones, as mentioned in the first post: The sleeve has an extra layer on the inside to store accessories.
Cables, headphones, OTG cables, memory cards, etc...
I would definitely buy other cheaper ones if there were any out there. But it is the only one I found with such a feature. Just thought I'd share .

It is definitely NOT that tight.... I have a TPU style case on mine and it isn't nearly tight enough for me to be worried about cracking screens or tearing the neoprene case - no need to worry, you aren't buying from some cheapy manufacturer, if something tore on it, I'm certain Amzer would replace it
Mine definitely WAS that tight - tired pulling it different ways, setting device in front of or back of seams, etc - tried pulling on angle cuts, pushing in depth first, etc - mine was TOO tight after many tries, sent back.

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 ?

Looks real good.
If it's quality and not price you are looking for

There's a couple but they lack the functionality of a lot of the cheaper ones.

I'm waiting for the official Asus Premium Nexus leather case. That case is really sweet.

Overall liking the Blurex Ultra-Slim Case for Google Nexus 7 inch Tablet -- With built in Multi-Angle Stand
I like smart case or gel case

Looks cool, but I would think they'd come out with a smart cover one

Nice find
Waiting for a bumper case. That's all the Nexus7 really needs.
I have an I-Blason that I bought from amazon for like 13 bucks. Not the Multi Angle one, but the folio one with built in stand and stylus. I am pretty happy with it. My fiance absolutely loves it

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.

I've heard a lot of talk about the poetic but I'm curious if the plastic back part gets all scratched up if it gets placed in bags or desks often. I'm also curious about other options.
Take a look at the eBay slim case I reviewed. It is a good case. Still my every day case.

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not a fan of the ones that overlap like that into the front of the device.

I've tried about all of them except the speck and my favorite is the moko slim fit. They even have one in real leather now.

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.
I don't have the nillkin yet, but I think thats the other one to watch.

I'm very happy with the "Nexus 7 UltraSlim Case"
Just stumbled onto this: http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Magnetic...75047&sr=1-6&keywords=moko+slim+folio+nexus+7
Has anyone tried it?

This one looks like a winner for me as I'm also looking for a slim case.
Actually, its between this one and the nilkon. I can't decode.

I have the Poetic Slimline. I was searching for a cover just like you were, and it was the best one I could find. I love it. It it super slim, high quality, and it comes in a bunch of colors now.
hit up the thanks button plz:

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. After owning cases for iPads and Kindles, I don't even know how anyone can tolerate these poorly made cases.
I still can't decide between the Nillkin and the Moko

I too am searching for a good, slim case that will not fray like the poetic, nor be faulty like the veo

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.

I don't understand the Poetic-hating. I love mine. Had it for a couple weeks now, and it is holding together fine. No fraying. This thing is as good as I could've asked it to be.
Threw a couple decals on there and BAM. Awesomeness.

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.
