Anybody waiting for better cases? - Nexus 7 Accessories

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 want one with a removable keyboard, but figure as soon as I buy one... a better one will come out

I'm building one... with an otp keyboard/hub/card reader should be fun when the bits arrive

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 ?

Waiting for a bumper case. That's all the Nexus7 really needs.

Folding smartcover like ipad

Im looking for a folding case similar to the ones for an ipad.

Me too! But from what I've seen, there's nothing similar...I'm not liking ANY of the cases available for the Nexus 7 right now...all seem too bulky and just doesn't go with the whole tablet...

I'd say there's probably pretty huge demand for this among N7 buyers. One of the big draws for a 7" tablet is portability compared to a 10". I can fit the thing in my pants pocket or my inner coat pocket with ease and no real additional bulk. These huge covers currently on sale seriously take away from that.
I'd glady pay $25-40 for a tpu case with a folding smart cover that can be used as a stand as well. It would be thin, give protection on all sides & turn screen off automatically.
I agree the market is there for something like this, with the sales through the roof of the N7 I do think we will see alot of quality cases soon.

I would love to have something like the Apple Smart Cover with Android Robot in GREEN!!!
I would like one too. Almost all cases for Nexus 7 that I have seen just makes the device bulkier.
I'd love a smart cover like the one for iPad's. I use a carbon fibre sticker on the back of my iPad to protect it and with the smart cover for the front, it hardly adds to the thickness. Currently using a playbook case (until the case I ordered comes in) and it definitely adds bulk.

Same here. I want something thin and foldable that's not cheap leather crap.
I have the Amazon Kindle Fire Tuxedo Slim Case:

Good THIN case?

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.

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.

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:

Can the moko cases fold back so that the flap isn't hanging out?

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.

It is different from the other Ebay Apple-like case.

Price at 19.99 is a bit steeper than other Ebay cases,
and its pictures do not show if we can fold the cover all the way back or if it's a Smart cover or not.
But I like its look, probably will wait to see other sellers posting the same one with more pictures and detailed description.
To be honest, that does look like one of the better looking cases on eBay. If you guys want, I can take it for the tram and review it when I get it? Hopefully by the end of this week.
It's the case I've been holding out for..... looks like the perfect case IMHO :beer::beer:

Also, in case if you guys were wondering, this isn't leather.
Its "Pu Leather" which is short for poly synthetic leather. As in, its a cheap less durable leather covering some piece of cardboard or something.
In fact, some countries like New Zeland and UK have banned the sale or use of "leather" for products with this type.
But I'll update you guys once I get this case.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
