[REF] Kindle Fire compatible cases?

In this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754717 I touched on the idea that the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7 might be close enough in dimensions that they could share some cases..
There are posts of the same product number for both devices.
So it got me thinking as to how many of those cases might be compatible and already available.
Perhaps owners of both having cases for their Kindle Fire could check fitment and let us know.
Comparison: Google Nexus 7 16GB vs. Amazon Kindle Fire

EDIT: seems I am a bit late to the idea, but none the less a perfect opportunity to pool our resources together and confirm fitment.

This case works fine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767318

Well, since I'm not at 10 posts yet, I can't submit a link, but this case:
www .amazon.com/Kindle-Genuine-Leather-Cover-Marware/dp/B005QPXEK2/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1342645991&sr=1-1&keywords=kindle+fire+case+green
Fits my Nexus 7 perfectly, like it was designed for it. Which is great, since I loved the case for my Fire.

Thanks for that. This was the exact case and color I wanted for the Nexus 7. I was waiting on Marware, but I'll take your word that it fits the Nexus 7 as well. I just placed my order.

Case-Mate Kindle Fire Tuxedo Case

It uses adhesive to secure the device. Smart-cover type functionality it appears from the video. Looks sweet. Anyone want to pull the trigger?

You do it, then you can tell us all about it.

This might be the best out there atm, wish it was designed for the Nexus so u wouldn't have to have that flap (have it attach like the Ipad)

I'm not gonna spend $40 on a case that isn't designed for my device.

I agree that this case looks great. I actually prefer this over the magnetic smart covers, as the smart covers do not protect the back of the device. I have ordered this off of Amazon, and will get it in the next couple of days.
The Nexus 7, however... I'll probably get it next week according to Google's E-mail on the matter.
By the way, there's no doubt in my mind that this will work for the Nexus 7:
Both Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire have a "rubberized" back, so if the adhesive works on the Kindle Fire, it'll work on the Nexus 7.
base x height x thickness for Nexus 7 is: 120 x 198.5 x 10.45 mm
base x height x thickness for Kindle F is: 120 x 190.0 x 11.40 mm
What that means is that it'll have a small bezel of ~4mm on the top and bottom of the device (thickness of <1mm will probably be negligible on a case)
Case is "open" and not blocking any ports/buttons (since Kindle Fire has no buttons on the side, if the case had a covering on the side, it would've screwed the Nexus 7's buttons)
Regardless, since I will get the tablet within 30 days (which is the return period for Amazon for this case), I'll try it out and update if it's worth keeping or not for the Nexus 7.
I don't see any better case coming out for it (I prefer a small, sleek case like such), since the actual smart case design (like the ones for the iPad) is patented by Apple, and you know they're going to sue the crap out of any other company that makes it (since they're very sue-happy).

I'm going to pass by best buy tomorrow and see if I can find anything decent that fits...if not I'm ordering this.

I have this case for my iPad and its by far the best case I've ever had. I hope they make a nexus version soon.

I had this case for my Kindle Fire but unfortunately I sold it along with the Fire when I ordered the Nexus 7. That said, I'm fairly confident that it would work just fine with the N7...the adhesive is very strong and should have no problems attaching to the back of the N7. I took the KF out of this case several times without any issues getting it to stick to the adhesive when I put it back. My only concern would be that because the KF is slightly thicker the case might have a little extra "give" with the N7 when closed.
It's a very sharp looking case, though. Highly recommend for KF, should probably be fine for N7. Using mine without a case at the moment but considering going back to this one.

Noname case with USB keyboard

Dont have one but by judging it id say what do you have to lose for 7$ just dont expect alot for your dollar you know ? i might order one myself.

The stylus would be no good for the Nexus, the keyboard won't work (at least not without an adaptor) and it would be at least an inch thick when closed, don't waste your money.

I rooted my Kindle Fire and added a custom ROM which allowed OTG, so the keyboard work. The keys are tiny and the clips don't hold the Nexus at all.

i've actually got one of those. the guy i bought it from on ebay supplied a usb OTG adapter with it.
works flawlessly with my nexus 7. at first it throws you off a bit since the keys arent standard sized, but i adapted to it fairly easily enough.
as mentioned, the clips dont really hold the nexus 7 in place, so dont expect this to be protecting your nexus 7. on mine, i just went to a hardware store and bought some of those hooks you'd normally stick to a wall and just stuck it to the case to make sure my nexus 7 doesnt slip out accidentally.
its good for the price, but if you're willing to spend a bit more, there are better keyboard cases out there.

Logitech Bluetooth Aluminum Keyboard & Stand for Bluetooth Enabled Devices

just saw this on onesaleaday.com
Logitech Bluetooth keyboard designed for Galaxy Tab 10.1 but will work with any HID device. Not sure how the N7 would sit but its 10 bucks plus 4.99 shipping. Thinking about rolling the dice on this one
http://1saleaday.com/main/

Wow best buy and eBay want 129.00$ for that damn hmmm

"The smaller tablet is not as good at content creation as its larger siblings, but for those curious about external keyboards I found one that works with the Nexus 7. The Logitech Keyboard Case for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 pairs and works with the Nexus 7, even the special tablet control keys. The Nexus 7 doesn't fit in the stand, though, so it's an iffy pair at best."
I just actually received this keyboard today. It's very high quality, sturdy and typed very quickly when I paired it with my HTV Evo 4G LTE. Unfortunately, my nexus is RMA-ing right now so I'm not able to try it with that. I stuck my old kindle keyboard (about the same size as the nexus 7) in the built-in stand just to see how it fits and it stood fine, however I'm concerned that the nexus 7 might be too thick.
However, if you use this and a decent folio case from amazon, it is BY FAR the cheapest and probably best option I've seen.

WTF are you talking about? What does this have to do with the original post? How do you know the nexus doesn't fit if you don't even have yours?

I ordered one too, but I looked online at reviews for that website and they were not the best. I have my fingers crossed.

What a great buy... I would totally go for this if I hadn't already ordered another for double that price and probably not bear the quality
.:: Nexus 7 :: ParanoidAndroid :: JB ::.

ordered
only 15 bucks, i ordered a couple. i have Nexus 7, wife has an HTC Flyer.
even if the stand doesn't work, it looks like a good emergency keyboard for the times when we have to do work but don't have a laptop handy.

Ordered. If it doesn't work for me I guess my girlfriend can use it for her fruit branded tablet.

The link is accurate. Scroll to the bottom of the review. He talks about this specific keyboard's (which is actually a case/keyboard designed for the Galaxy Tab 10.1) built-in stand not fitting the Nexus 7. I'm confused as to where you are confused.

Nice find!

Ordered me one, at that price why not its Logitech and most of their stuff is good.

I have about 38 minutes left to pull the trigger. Im not sure what to do. If it doesnt work then im stuck with another piece of tech laying around and the lady will not be happy. On the other hand, I could probably just resell it and make the 15 bucks back and then some.

The onesaleaday.com item is a keyboard stand but it doubles as a "case" where you can "lock" your galaxy tab 10.1 onto the recessed keyboard. The Nexus 7 will not fit that way obviously but Im thinking it will fit in the 'stand' part of it.
EDIT: Galaxy Tab 10.1 Thickness is .33" - Nexus 7 Thickness is .41". Probably will not fit. A couple of mm makes a big difference
If nothing else, its still a cheap bluetooth keyboard solution

I just got mine today in the mail and I'm using it right now to type this and its pretty good, feels well built and connected with no problem. The Nexus doe not fit in the stand to hold it up, its too thick, but I knew that before I bought it, for the price it seems to be worth it 15$ shipped and it has shortcuts to different programs like email and Google Now and can control the volume. I'm happy with it!

Nexus 7 compatible with Kindle Fire?

Hey guys, lately I've been looking around for cases and screen protector's for my Nexus 7. I saw this sale for Kindle Fire cases and decided to try one out. It turns out that the case fit almost perfectly (except that it covered the head phone jack). I also bought a Kindle Fire screen protector and it covered the screen perfectly without covering the light sensor and camera. So let me ask you this, would you buy stuff that's compatible with your Nexus 7 that's cheaper? Or would you rather purchase something that's made specifically for your Nexus 7 that's more expensive?
