First off, let me describe what I look for in a case/ sleeve.
First and foremost, I want a premium look and feel, preferably leather, but other materials will do. I paid a large sum of money for this gorgeous tablet, and I would like to put it in a gorgeous case. In my opinion, getting a slim tablet and putting it in a tank like case defeats the purpose of the tablet being thin in the first place.
Typically the premium factor is limited to sleeves. I have not found any high end leather CASES, they're all either pleather, or low quality leather, and look poor on the tablet. Also most leather cases that double as stands look weird, or have too much excess material to secure the tablet to the 'board' of sorts on the back of the case.
Shown here:
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimbook-Leather-Function-Warranty/dp/B00A6X4048/ref=pd_sim_pc_2
As far as cases go, cases that have a cover, but then fold back to form a weird angled stand like so: http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Google-Elastic-Included-Warranty/dp/B009RZPH1G/ref=pd_sim_pc_10
are just weird in my opinion, they look odd, and I don't want that much snapping on and off the corners of the tablet, it'll create ware.
However Sleeves often do not have a clasp, or a securing mechanism, but as far as I can tell, friction will do it's job of keeping the tablet in the case, especially due to the Nexus 10's grippy back.
So far I have found two cases that employ both form, function, and a premium feel.
A sleeve: http://www.dodocase.com/products/durables-sleeve-for-nexus-10
(Although it is neither made of leather, nor does it have a clasp)
and a Case: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimbook-Leather-Function-Warranty/dp/B00A6X4048/ref=pd_sim_pc_2
(Also not leather, but the leather texture will do if realistic enough. At least I don't think it's leather)
I do have one question about the poetic slimbook case I just linked to, would the cover of that stay attached and covered if held upside down via a magnet of sorts, or is it rather flimsy, and just flops around, as a slave to gravity?
To close, I would like to ask a few questions.
Does anyone else have a want for a premium case or sleeve, or am I the only one?
Has anyone found cases or sleeves that are similar to the ones mentioned above (the last two, not the first two)?
Any word on that smart cover that the nexus 10 was unveild with, shown in the video from The Verge Hands on and such.
Also I'd like to mention that I'm really interested in buying a product from http://www.vajacases.com/ however they conveniently do not have a nexus 10 case.
You hit the nail on the head. My thoughts on cases are basically yours. And the Vajacases are really awesome but in my opinion too much premium and therefore too expensive. I think i'll wait for the verge-video-case which hopefully seamlessly attaches to the N10. It can't be too expensive as well. I'm curious when we'll get more information on the same.

If you want to send it up to me in Canada I will pay you full price. We can't get the poetic cases up here. Which one were you going to return?
There's a thread now in accessories with a video and pics of the poetic slimbook a guy just received. I also ordered one as there's only 3 left in stock and it looks good enough for me.

SF bags offer some good looking high quality sleeves.
http://www.sfbags.com/products/nexus-cases/nexus-slipcase.php. In this slipcase video, it shows kindle fire slipcase and it shows that even when turned upside down, the kindle won't come out.
they have plenty other choices but it's pre-order for now and start to ship at 11 december. The prices are kinda steep but since you don't care much about price, might as well try it out. Personally, i love the citysleek design.

I've looked through and seen all of the SF bags for the Nexus 10 a while ago, the suede jacket (http://www.sfbags.com/products/nexus-cases/nexus-suedejacket.php) seems to be to my liking. I personally would want something with a little more protection (I don't know how, but I feel like leather would protect it more than suede, despite them being virtually the same material).
The city slicker one is cool, and so is the out back one, but as far as the city slicker and other multipurpose/ travel/ compartmentalized cases go, I already have a North Face Surge bag, so I don't need any more space. I'm looking for a case or sleeve that would protect my tablet INSIDE of my other back, as well as protect it from day to day carrying outside of my backpack, such as if I'm driving to a friend's house, I'd want to case it and throw it on my passenger seat.
I know the previous sentance is a run on, but it's 4:30 am where I am, and I don't care about run on-s and grammar at the moment.

The Nexus 7 case was well reviewed. I'd like a quality case too, but $100+ makes me think twice considering the life of gadgets.
Thanks for the heads up. Looks like it's pre order now and becoming available at the end of the month.
Here is the sfbags.com sleeve with optional pocket for the Nexus 10. Ordered it Friday morning and paid for the FedEx ground delivery and was upgraded to the priority delivery for free and received it Monday morning. This thing is nicely made and it was exactly what I was looking for, tablet goes in snug and has 3 anchors to help to you insert it and remove it from the sleeve. The mesh pocket is a extra feature and I use it to carry my freedompop hotspot and a stylus pen. I am hoping that when the oem cover is release, it will fit without a problem but its a very snug fit.
Only thing I would change would be added a cord at the end to fully enclose the device inside. I paid $32 shipped to me.
Here are the pictures:

I've actually been looking at this case since it appears that the nexus 10 is pretty similar in size to the note 10.1, and this case seems to offer good protection.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nimbus-10-U...1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1355416000&sr=1-1
Anyone know anything about it or have any opinions?
EDIT: On closer inspection it seems the nexus 10 is too wide. Odd, I thought there was a different version of the case for bigger tablets but I can't seem to find it.
I just received an Ultimate Sleeve case from SFBags for my Nexus 10. This is one nice sleeve. It's very sturdy, well-made, and fits the Nexus 10 perfectly. I bought it to protect the tablet while traveling and I think this sleeve will do a far better job than the Case Logic case I bought and returned. I don't care to test it, but the SFBags sleeve has thick padding and the plastic insert sewn into one side should prevent damage for anything short of a drop-kick. I definitely feel a lot better about throwing my Nexus 10 into a backpack or suitcase. It's not cheap but it's worth it if you're looking for quality protection.
SF Bags Slip Case
Received mine yesterday. It is $36 (shipping included) well spent. It fits tight and looks good.
I got the CitySlicker from SF Bags. It's really a quality sleeve/bag. :good: I imagine it will be too big for some, but it's great having space for headphones and a cleaning cloth with the tablet at all times. Also looks and feels high end.
For the price, I sure hope it fits whatever I end up replacing the Nexus 10 with down the road!
I second SF bags. I have their slip case and couldn't be happier.

I think that last picture is the same for every style phone. I found a thread on XDA about the same case for the N1 and it had very good reviews. But I'll be sure to follow up with my review and photos.

Still waiting on delivery. Supposed to get it by the 27th. Will post photos and give a review.
I got my case. I like the case a lot. It looks great how the glossy finish matches the dell perfectly. The case is bendable and offers a very snug fit on the streak. The only thing that should work better is the button pressing needs to be pressed with some force.

REVIEW!
Hey everyone! Just got my case in today that I ordered on ebay from seller dcmugen88. I purchased the "JET BLACK Epik Case TPU Jacket+anti Dell Streak Mini 5".
I ordered the case on December 12 for $4.99 and received it today. Free Shipping is included but the estimated shipping time was between 3 and 4 weeks. I was able to expedite the shipping for an additional $1.94 and delivery was estimated between Dec. 20th and Dec. 27th. So all in all, I paid $6.93 for the case and it took 12 days to receive. The seller is shipping from Hong Kong and I received it via USPS.
My first impression of the case upon opening was excellent. Here's a shot of the case in it's packaging.
Included with the case is a clear screen protector. This is a nice throw in...especially for $4.99. I don't currently have a screen protector on my streak, and I'm not sure that I'll apply this one. Since the screen is made from Gorilla Glass, it should be able to withstand normal wear and tear. I'm pretty easy on my gadgets as well...so I have that going for me =) But the screen protector looks to be your average mill. It's not the rubbery kind like the invisibleSHIELD made by ZAGG (which I had on my captivate and hated!).
Free screen protector
Back to the case. The case is very sleek and thin. It's not much deeper than the streak itself. Here are a few photos without the phone in the case from different angles.
This is a form fitting case. I previously had a vinyl skin from Skinit. So when trying to put the case on, it was catching on the edge on the skin. I decided then and there to take the skin completely off and I'm glad I did. The case and phone together look NICE! It's the perfect combination with the black glossy case and large glossy screen. I forgot how good the phone looked with the full screen in all it's glory.
Front screen shot
Rear shot
The functionality with the case on the streak is pretty good. You don't have access to the buttons on the side/top (depends on how you hold it). It definitely takes some extra pressure to control the volume and to press the wake/power button. This isn't a downfall though. I actually like having the buttons covered. It makes me feel like I won't press them inadvertently. There is a cutout for the 1/8 inch headphone jack for easy access.
You have full access to the PDMI port on the bottom/side of the phone. There is no plug in that covers the opening like in the otterbox cases.
Side view
The back of the case has a opening for the speaker, but there isn't one for the dell logo. I consider this a good thing since there is less chance to get debris/trash in the phone which could potentially scratch it. There is a cut out for the camera and dual LED flash as well.
OVERALL:
This is a great case! You can not beat the cost at roughly 5 bucks. I saw in earlier in the thread that some XDA members were buying their cases in the States, so you might find a better deal elsewhere (maybe somebody can post a link?).
My concern with cases in general is that they will be too bulky. This case is the opposite of that. I notice virtually no difference in the feel of the phone w/ the case on in my pocket. It does feel a little more substantial in the hand...but I think that's good. Having the phone with only a skin on it made me feel like I needed to handle it with kid gloves. That's not the case anymore (pun not intended).
There are many other colors available on the sellers ebay store. He also offers different deals. 5 for $15. 2 for $7. That kind of thing.
My sister and her husband just ordered the red unlocked streaks of dell.com and are due to receive them in January. They just ordered their clear cases tonight.
Okay...that's all I have. I hope this helped everybody and feel free to pm me or post in this thread.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Got mine today too. It is nice for the price.
I to have bought this case in jetblack. Love it. If you can wait it out from hong kong, the $5 price is a really good steal! Fits perfect!
But I will suggest. Put 2 pieces of clear tape in the inside of it where the Dell Logo sits at on the back where the battery cover is. If not, give it some time. It will eventually pull the ring off of the Dell Logo. When I noticed, I put the Ring back on the battery cover, and put the pieces of tape in on the case itself. Works fine!
Ordered mine last night
This case is by far the best looking case for the dell streak. It might not offer the protection like a otterbox but it defintely looks great.

I remember emailing dcmugen88 ages ago to make a case for the Streak, he said that it wasnt possible at the time but good to see its been made.
I placed my order today for my red streak. Thanks for posting this thread!
I got the same black shiny case. I don't like it at all. I wanted a rubber gel case like the hd2 comes with, so i can put it on and take it off easily. The details say rubber gel, but its more like soft plastic and its tough to get it on and off because the corners are to tough to fold back. I only need to use a case in certain situations, so this is garbage to me. Let me know if anyone finds one that is real soft gel like the hd2 came with.

I had a case made from the same material for a Nokia e71 - it was great. All the benefits of a silicone case without the lint collecting or pocket clinging.
I had hoped to get on for my streak but I couldn't find anything and finally dropped the money for the Otterbox Commuter. I've very impressed with the Otterbox, but I think I would have been just as happy with this.
I received this today.

Although mine is apparently the old version. BSCstore is sending me a new version for free and not making me send the old one back. This old one lacks the sleep/wake function that was listed in the Amazon posting. They actually proactively emailed everyone who ordered one of these old ones stating that Amazon put up some stock of the old cases and were not supposed to. (They were sold by BSCstore but fulfilled by Amazon) (As you can see one person gave a 1 star rating before they received the email apparently). I assume the new case will be the exact same with the addition of an embedded magnet.
I must say this "old" one fits the Nexus perfectly. As you can see from the pictures the case isn't really all that "slim". The materials used do not really allow it to be a thin case. I knew this from my transformer prime and kindle fire cases, which were the same. The inside is like a microfiber-like material and the outside feels like leather, though for the price I am kind of surprised it is actually listed as leather. I really like how it doesn't cover the bezel and the stand functions perfectly. The corners of the case are also protected as well as any case could protect them. The cover of the case can be folded over completely backwards as well which is important to me. Some cases cannot do this, surprisingly.
There are two Elastic straps on the case which I will never use. One, I assume, is to hold the cover shut. However, the latch/clip thing is tight enough that I do not think that small elastic band is at all necessary. The second elastic band thing is to put your hand in. I wouldn't really be bothered to use this unless I was a door to door salesman or something and had to carry the tablet all the time. They are nice features I suppose if you do need them.
There is also a stylus loop which I will not use. In fact, I may cut it off. However, it is a nice addition for those who will use a stylus.
The only thing I don't like is the speaker grill is half covered and I know from taking my back cover off that there are two speakers behind that grill and one of them is behind the case no matter what position the case is in and that no matter which brand you go with (blurex, poetic, moko, etc). From the pictures I have seen on Amazon they are all designed this way. Not sure why they didn't extend the cutout over the entire speaker grill. Maybe the "new" version has changed this but I doubt it. I am guessing the way the case folds in that spot prevents them from manufacturing it with the hole extending to both sides of the fold for some reason. I have not done extensive testing but I have no doubt it will affect the sound coming from the device and would probably be most noticeable while watching movies or listening to music.
Edit - Here are a few pictures of the replacement showing the new cutouts for the speaker and that there doesn't appear to be an obvious area where they just haphazardly stuck a magnet. They did a good job of hiding it. Also, with the last picture I am just showing that the tablet remains on when the cover is flipped all the way around.
Great looking case,I ordered the poetic version and its already shipping

That looks pretty nice. I was hesitant to order one because I could not tell if the front cover would fold back all the way when not using the stand functionality. I might pick it up if I don't like the case I have coming via USPS later this week. Thanks for the impressions and photos.
Thanks for the review. Looks good. I would get that if only it came in any other color that's not black. I'm leaning towards the i-blason one cause it has color but it's twice as much as this one

Thanks for the review. I'm considering this as a free replacement.
I also just got this case using expedited shipping. Took 2 days from Hong Kong!
I do like it however there seems to be one serious flaw. The magnet that turns the screen on and off is strong enough to affect the N7 when the front flap is folded back. So the N7 turns on when I fold open the flap but turns off again when i fold the flap over to the back of the device.
Makes it difficult to hold.

Yeah if the replacement i get has that flaw.i wouldn't use it.
Looks nice. I'm going to snag the 360 version because I like the portrait mode stand option.

Found a workaround to the wake flaw and that is to place a small paperclip or some other thin piece of metal between the back of the Nexus 7 and the case back.
The company in Hong Kong are looking at a permanent solution.

Just got this email:
Dear buyer:
Thanks for purchasing MoKo slim-fit case for your Nexus 7. We are sorry to inform you that we have found some issue with the built-in magnets in cases that are scheduled to ship today. The magnet is installed to support the smart wake/sleep feature of Nexus 7 but unfortunately it would also put the Nexus to sleep when the front cover is folded against the back, due to the slim profile of this particular case. We are sure you would not like to purchase a case like this and this is not a case we would sell either. But we have decided to ship this current case to you to provide a TEMPORARY solution to protect your Nexus before you get the the improved replacement from us. We have taken measures to rectify the issue in our future production and the replacement cases should be ready sometime next week. The fully working replacement case will be shipped to you at no extra cost and you don't have to return the temporary case. You may want to remove
And please let us know if you would like us to make other arrangements for you. We can also provide any of our Nexus 7 cases as a free substitute if you prefer. All other nexus 7 cases we carry come with the smart wake/sleep function but don't have the same issue as the "temporary case" has. You can check the selection here:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_p_6_0? rh=n%3A172282%2Cn% 3A!493964%2Cn%3A541966%2Ck% 3Amoko+nexus+7+case%2Cp_6% 3AA2VT4H683M5NNA&bbn=541966& keywords=moko+nexus+7+case&ie= UTF8&qid=1343164562&rnid=303116011
Again, we are very sorry for the situation and all the inconvenience caused. We will try our best to make the purchase right for you and we will make it right.
Thanks,Jim from BSCstore.

Nice, I got pretty much the same email but mine was in regards to the original case without a magnet at all. I wonder how much money this company is loosing with all these free cases they are giving out? I suppose they will stick a sheet of thin metal behind the magnet in the final version or something based on that person's comment about the paper clip fixing the issue.
I suppose the new August 6 ship date on Amazon is referencing when they expect the final version to be released.
I got the same Email today, but the link they gave for the temporary case they're sending includes multiple cases, anyone know which case are they sending us as a temporary replacement?
I have the poetic version and got the email today.

Update: my case came today and it definitely has the problem. I am either going to cut the magnet out or try to get a steel shield to work.
Update 2: I taped a few washers to the case under the N7 where the magnet lines up...success! My ghetto-case is fully activated!

That doesn't seem to make sense, but nevertheless I'm also in for the rotating version. I have the Blurex cases (the original awful one and then the moderately better one they sent as a replacement), but they don't rotate and also I've realized that it's infinitely annoying to have a case that covers the bezel like the Blurex ones because it makes it frustratingly difficult to swipe down the notification bar. I actually don't understand why they didn't at least make the bezel coverage area narrower. In any case, the Moko doesnt' cover the bezel at all, so I think it will work well.

I actually don't understand why they didn't at least make the bezel coverage area narrower. In any case, the Moko doesnt' cover the bezel at all, so I think it will work well.

hmm....I'm now leaning in that direction. Anyone using the 360?
I'm not sure what the proper terminology is for identifying these cases, but I'm comparing the thicker leather cases that wrap around the tablet versus the ones with 6 prongs that kind of latch onto the tablets edges to hold it in place.

vs this style:
I have one of each right now. I have the i-Blason case that wraps around the entire tablet's front side, and I also have the Blurex case which has the 6 prongs to hold onto the tablet. I'm a little indifferent on which one to use full time, as silly as that sounds. I figured I'd ask here to get your opinions and see what you guys think.
I personally love both cases for opposing reasons. The Blurex case has a latch on it, which on one hand I like because I feel if I would drop the tablet, there's no chance of the front flap coming open during the tumble. On the other hand, I use my tablet SO frequently at work, I'm continually opening and closing it, which makes me wonder if I'll see any wear signs from the clip on the side continually sliding against the tablet to form the lock. On the one hand, it's slim enough I can fit into my back pocket even with the case, but this isn't something I like to do since I fear that I may forget about it and inadvertently sit on it.
As far as the i-Blason case goes (I have this one here), I like it just as much, but there again for different reasons. I personally couldn't stand the vertical/horizontal features of it, because the entire thing is held on by velcro. Really? Velcro? I ended dumping some epoxy into it which permanently joined the two parts. As a result, it's a horizontal only type of case, which I prefer anyway. I'm not overly fond of the leather that wraps around the front of the actual tablet, however it's cut neatly enough that nothing is overtop of the actual display. Likewise, the front flap does not have a clip on it. Instead, the magnets used to wake up/sleep the device are actually quite strong and hold the front flap in place securely (unlike Blurex's equivalent case located here which has the absolute weakest magnets I've ever seen). This case does not fit into my pocket like the other one and is indeed a bit thicker. That said, considering how much I use it at work, sometimes it makes me feel more secure with it.
Pros and cons in each scenario. That said, I'm curious what you guys prefer. Any takers?
I absolutely hate cases that cover the bezel. I do like those blurex style cases as I've used them before on a few different tablets. However, they are pretty thick (seems to double the thickness of a nexus), and the clasp sticks out when you fold it back.
I think I'm with a number of other users here when I say that I have not found a case that I want for my Nexus. The poetic portfolio case that is being discussed in another thread is close to what I want, but I think lacking in the quality that I'm looking for. I'm really surprised we haven't seen more high end cases like this yet.
I like the case I have a lot. Its a similar case to the one you like.
Here's my review.

That is my same fear that if I buy a prong type that it will leave a scuff mark or such on the tablet

Appreciate the suggestion, but I'm not seeing any black ones like that from this seller on Ebay.
I'd *really* like to opt for Amazon because I'm taking a trip soon where I'm leaving Tuesday night. At least with Amazon I have greater control over shipping speed, whereas Ebay listings are often base line ground shipping.
EDIT - This one sure caught my eye...

I really wish I could find this exact case... but without the 360 degree rotating thing... Then again maybe the 360 degree thing wouldn't be that bad?
Love the smart cover. The face of the tablet is mostly uncovered and it's held in with a plastic mold. Of course, the sleep/wake feature is awesome as well. I don't think I'll ever use another case. The leather folio I used before was junk; it says it was for Nexus 7 but it was too big and the tablet shifted around all the time.

Where did you end up snagging that? Ebay?
I'd love to get one and have it for when I leave on Tuesday. I'd prefer to get it on Amazon where I know I'll get fast shipping if I pay the extra. Some items I've bought on Ebay from China (like this case I'm seeing) took up to a month. Yeah.

Yeah, I got it on eBay for just under 8 dollars. It shipped from California in about a week's time. I haven't checked Amazon, so I couldn't say for sure if they have them too...
And yes, buying from China is not fun
Neither, sorry. They're bulky and gross looking. I think the dodo case and portenzo cases can't be beat, style wise.

Unless there's a better + quicker option on the table, I might go after this case here:
http://www.amazon.com/Worldshopping...sories/dp/B008RVE54G/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
I'm not sure how much I'd use the vertical aspect of the case, but it seems like the platform would be wide enough to keep it stable. We'll have to see, though.
EDIT - Figured, why not. Ordered this case above. Guaranteed shipping by Monday. I'll report back when I get it.
I purchased the MoKo(TM) 360 Degrees Rotating Case , and it has been perfect for me. The fact that it clips on all sides both when open and close makes it feel alot more secure than other flip-cover cases; and you cant argue with the rotation capability. Also, it makes the tablet feel much more substantial without making it feel bulky or heavy which I am definitely a fan of. My friend bought the Blurex Ultra-Slim Case for Google Nexus 7, but not only is half of the tablet free when it is open, but it also has fewer prop-angles and the padding does not feel as robust.
I have the blaston one and it's a really nice case but I still don't like have the bezel covered and I don't like the back flap. I want a different one. Who wants to trade!

The one I just nabbed looks very similar, with the most notable difference being no bezel coverage. If you like your case I'm sure I'll have a similar opinion of mine.
The only thing I was semi concerned about was how flat it would lay when closed up. But then I began to wonder, why does it matter? If it's closed, it's not in use.
I am trying to decide between the:
Roo Case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008F05Q2E/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A2IHZFOHOQ0WG8
or

What you guys think?
Guys, don't repeat my mistake. DO NOT order that "Worldshoppingwhatever" case that I linked above, found here:
http://www.amazon.com/Worldshopping...sories/dp/B008RVE54G/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
I wrote a review about it. I'll paste that review contents here even though it's available on Amazon.
I'm going to try really hard to pull what positives I can out of this review, but beware, there's hardly anything positive to say about it.
First, let's start with the overall feel of the product. The exterior feel of it is quite nice. Nothing to be overly excited about, but it feels decent, moderately durable, jet black color while presenting very little shine. It has a leather-like surface to it, which is quite nice. If you open it up you're presented with a plastic mold that your Nexus 7 attaches to. My Nexus 7 attached to it perfectly and was flush at all corners. I thought it'd be cool to have the swivel 360 feature as this case has, but I didn't expect it to be this terrible. The plastic mold spins freely. Literally. In fact it has extra wobble in it as you spin it, allowing you to spin the mold like a kid's pinwheel. This makes it undeniably frustrating to use when you have the front folded back and you're trying to hold the device in one hand while use the touch screen with your other, as the tablet will continuously shimmy left and right. If you're going to have a swivel function, at least make it so it provides some degree of resistance so it's not THIS movable.
At this point I realized that the "fold" (aka hinge) of this case seemed extremely flimsy. It has absolutely no strength whatsoever, which is weird because the front has some degree of a more durable "cardboard-like" backing to it, but the hinge itself is just completely loose. It feels as pliable as a microfiber cloth - I'm not kidding. This, of course, presented me with some concern about how well it would hold up my tablet when propped up. I'm here to tell you... it sucks. I'm not exaggerating. It won't even prop up my tablet in the majority of scenarios I tried. There's two notches in the front flap of the case which allows the bottom to be cradled and therefore prop it upright. I'll identify them by calling them notch A (closest to the hinge) and notch B (closest to the edge).
Notch A - Horizontal - Tablet stands upright. Hooray!
Notch A - Veritcal - Falls without hesitation. Fail.
Notch B - Horizontal - Falls without hesitation. Fail.
Notch B - Veritcal - Falls without hesitation. Fail.
I can only attribute this to the unbelievably soft/weak material. It just flat out doesn't work. The lack of strength leaves something to be desired. I admittedly got a little excited when I first opened the item because the exterior finish isn't really bad. In fact it's quite decent for a low end product. That alone is the only semi positive thing I was able to draw out of this product. I'm exceptionally disappointed and find the product a complete joke. I would expect (and have first hand seen) better quality tablet cases out of Five Below and other various "everything's 5 bucks" general stores. 15 bucks online? Including another 7-15 to ship this piece of garbage? Are you absolutely insane?
I have to admit, just prior to purchasing this tablet I couldn't help but to think that "Joanna" and "Ashley" (the only other two posted reviews of this product at the time of my purchase) were fake reviews, considering they both haven't posted a review before and both uploaded their review on the exact same date. Seems all too perfect, eh? Well, evidently it was. I'd like to highlight a few key points as these undoubtedly fake reviewers point out:
Joanna claims that: When open, the stand capabilities fully support the weight of the N7 and it is at a pretty good angle for viewing.
No. It doesn't. I can't even begin to express how much this statement enrages me because it is absolutely false. This thing can hardly withstand the weight of my cell phone, let alone my tablet.
Meanwhile, Ashley claims that: I am very accustomed to recognizing build quality, and I have a high level of technology expertise. I have already recommended this case to numerous people, including coworkers that have also purchased a new google nexus 7.
WHAT! You're accustomed to recognizing build quality and think that this thing in any way shape or form demonstrates even the most minuscule degree of build quality?
Look elsewhere. Please. I beg you. I cannot stress this enough. Buy anything else. Really. Anything. i-Blason, Blurex, Moko, rooCase, I've used countless cases - close your eyes, take your pick, you'll be happier off with anything else.
Using a case so terrible like this just makes me realize how completely flipping awesome my Blurex slim fit case is.
I just got the Asus travel cover and I must say I like it. Fits really well. The texture is nice. I know with use it can only get better. I ordered the poetic slim book. Just waiting for it to arrive. But until then this will do.

I have the Blurex Slim case and I like it. It's not that bulky.
Hi guys, just wanted to do a quick review of the Noreve N7 case I've been patiently waiting for the past 3 weeks or so. I wanted a real leather case and I did a lot of research on them before finally settling on these guys, and I'm not disappointed. The wait was well worth it.
Noreve offer a bunch of custom case finishes, so I went with the black perpétuelle couture case, which has a diamond stitching. I thought it would look better than the standard black, which everyone seems to have, and I was not let down. Custom orders take 14 business days to complete, and the company were very exact in their delivery time, which was a plus.
The case was 55 euros or 72 dollars. They offer free shipping with DHL to anywhere in the world.
It comes in a very nice box, and within the box there's a bright red cloth pouch for the case itself. Very excellent presentation.
Please excuse the crappy pictures. I did the best I could with my Galaxy S.

The texture (and the smell!) of the leather is outstanding. Feels very nice to the touch, and I admit to smelling it because it smells like a new pair of high end leather shoes
View of the side, bottom and back ports. The top is fully covered.
View of the back (note the little grills for the speakers - nice touch)
View from the front with the case open.
And finally, here it is in landscape mode.
One thing which was really important to me was the functionality of the sleep cover, and on this case it works like a dream. No problems whatsoever, not even when you fold the front back when you go to read something. It makes the tablet feel much more secure in the hand, and I prefer the feel of real leather as opposed to the textured N7 back, though that is nice and grippy as well.
All in all, I'm very pleased with this. It was well worth the wait. It's very functional, comfortable, and secure. Not too much bulk added to the device, and what's added feels like a dream, anyway. So I would say it's well worth it for anyone looking for a genuine leather case. These guys really seem to know what they're doing.
On a side note, their customer service people are extremely friendly and helpful.

Very nice review! I almost got one of those cases but opted for the Seidio Active case. It was a tough decision! LOL
I do want want of those, but having already spent the same amount on a treegloo case, it's hard for me to pull the trigger on this, especially when I have the Seidio case already.
The case looks really nice and finally see a real leather bound case with quality. The look reminds me of the Vaja Cases made in Argentina and I can literally smell the leather when reading your review lol.
Now I see that you love the case, but is there anything you do not like about it?

Thanks! It's really weird because I was going back and forth between Noreve and Seidio myself
There is one thing I don't like about it, and that's this :
The top isn't exactly flush, I tried to capture the little gap the best I could. It's nothing major and it doesn't bother me, because the case is still kinda stiff because the leather isn't broken in yet. After some use I'm sure it will go away, and besides, you can really only tell when you look at it from that angle. It doesn't affect the functionality at all.
Another thing is that the pogo pins aren't covered. I don't think the guys at Noreve knew what they were exactly at the time of designing this, so they decided to play it safe and leave it open. I don't see how you could put this on a dock while it's still in the case. But if I were Noreve I probably would have played it safe and left them open as well.
Those are the only two little things. Other than that, it made me like my N7 even more - feels so much better in the hand.
Thanks for the detailed review.
Is it just me, or does some of the finishing, particularly on the side views, look a little DIY? The cut outs just don't appear straight at all.
No it's not just you. Because it's hand made, the cut outs are not 100% symmetrical. It's apparent on the micro USB cutout, and also pogo pin connector cutout.
I'd personally rather have tiny imperfections like that for that human quality, as opposed to it being cut and stitched by machines. But that's just me. Thanks for your comment.
Interested in this case for my N7 as well.
But I would like to check if the front cover can be folded fully to the back? especially when using in portrait mode.
Yes it can, that's no problem at all for this case. I mentioned it as part of the review as well.

If it didn't work properly it would drive me crazy, as I read a lot on my tablet. I did a lot of research on this functionality before I bought the case. So yes, you can fold the front cover all the way back and the magnet will not shut the screen off. It works perfectly.

Purchased a nexus 7 32GB for $175 plus tax ....now need to get a case and a good screen protector. I see some brands
Moko,Bluerex seem to be around $15 while poetic is $9.99. Any recommendations? Reading the reviews I see people complaining about the magnet issue and also i dont know if these cases support 360 degrees or work only in landscape mode?
Hi, I would advise you to take a look here.
My personal recommondation would be a Noreve case. Expensive, but the best in my opinion.
Poetic case from amazon is the best for a smart case. You won't be upset if you get one.

Seen a few.
Get the poetic slimline case. Trust me.
Best bang for your buck.
Saw some guy who dropped his N7 with a poetic slimline and his screen cracked...
Don't drop your things just because they're in a case.
But seriously, it offers complete protection on all sides from scratches and mild bumps, not from concrete...
It functions as a stand, automatically turns your screen on and off, and isn't too expensive.
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimline-Portfolio-Automatically-Manufacturer/dp/B008NMCPTQ
I have the Portenzo book cover case. Little to no protection on the sides but will protect it in daily use.
I've pretty much had them all. The Poetic was my last case. I recommend them to. Offers a little more protection but cheaply made.... it will fall apart after a few weeks. They have a 3yr warranty and have replaced mine with no questions. Not sure if they still offer that.
I've also owned the Blurex and the TPU cases. All are nice cases but it depends on what you want. I wanted front and back protection with a minimal addition to thickness (Portenzo). If you want something like a smart cover then the Poetic. Basic back protection would be a cheap TPU like a CruizerLite. Coupled with a good screen protector like a Spigen SGP might suffice. The Blurex offered the most protection but was the thickest.

Poetic Slimline
I have to concur that the poetic slimline case is pretty awesome.
I too am a new Nexus 7 owner, though I didn't get such an amazing price as you. This is actually my first smart device... first touch device in fact (not counting my ipod touch 2nd gen which came free with a family members computer). Android really kicks ass, and the Nexus 7 is a pretty amazing device.
360 rotation case
I thought I would suggest this case to you or anyone new looking for a case. I was looking for a rotatable case that would still provide the desired level of protection. I didn't like how some of the cases required you to remove the bottom corners to fold or, only held the tablet in with a couple of elastic bands. I don't know that it has an official name, I got it on eBay for about $20. It was from the UK so it took a little longer for shipping than it normally would have but well worth it. It came packaged with a stylus and a few screen protectors (But, I always get a zagg for the screen). The features included a sleep/wake cover and an industrious button that attaches the actual device's case and the cover it rotates on instead of a metal ring resting on the back of your tablet as you rotate. I decided on the white one and the stitching looks great. A really good case, and I have had my nexus 7 for almost 7 months now taking it back and forth to college.
Send me a PM if you want the link I'm a new poster otherwise I would post the link in the thread.
Seriously, just get a Noreve case. A bit expensive yes, but you get what you pay for. Offers fantastic protection, smart cover function works beautifully, and it's hand made genuine leather with a ton of colour options. Here's my review for it if you're interested.
thanks to all suggestions, i ended up getting bluerex case as that comes with a screen protector from amazon. Also got the eForCity Micro USB OTG to USB 2.0 Adapter Compatible with Google Nexus 7. However this cable is pretty tight and i fear it might damage the micro usb port (already see some scratches). This cable btw only recognizes a flash drive but not a portable hard drive. Wondering if i should return it.
I have a Portenzo bookcase. Pricey, but I highly recommend it. I don't have another case for comparison, seems much better than the typical case I see on other people's tablets.
^^ seconded. I also have a portenzo. I went with the bookcase for full side/corner protection and aesthetics. love it.
I also have two handmade sleeves from etsy.com for when I want to go "naked."

Just bought this for less than $15 shipped:

Strange that no one mentions original ASUS case, which is really excellent quality and practical, beautiful and comes in several different colors! I bought one (not the cheapest here in Czech) and am completely satisfied.
The ASUS case is pretty terrible in my opinion. No sleep/wake function, and the top doesn't latch down securely. Way too expensive for what it has to offer. Much better choices out there for the same price or even cheaper.
