I was looking at the 'Nexus 10 Accessories' website and discovered they had found a Folding Smart Cover case. It is one of those generic ones from China, but they seemed quite happy with it.
You can find it on Ebay by searching "HardBack PU Leather Case With Folding Smart Cover for Google Nexus 10"
I would post the link to both but I do not have the permission to post links yet on XDA!
Anyways, I purchased one in black and for $16.65 plus free shipping it might be a good option for people, especially those who are stuck with Amazon.ca rather than Amazon.com

there you go..
anyway, i found this http://www.aliexpress.com/item/for-...Stand-Leather-Case-Smart-Cover/705466179.html
it's exactly the same product but with more colors choices. The only problem is, you have to buy 1 lot.US $219.70 / lot, 25 pieces / lot , $8.79 / piece
Why does stuff have to be leather and not hard plastic :/

Is it similar to the iPad one? I want one that's magnetic and turns on the screens when I lift it up.
They found more colors (if you like purple )
http://nexus10accessories.com/purple-smart-case-cover-for-nexus-10/
It does look very similar to the Ipad one, so similar I am sure they will be receiving a letter from Apple's lawyers at some point, maybe not, but with Apples track record regarding litigation anything is possible.
Anyways, I ordered mine in black and it shipped this week. I should have it in the next 10-15 business days. I will post my impressions of it when I get it.

Ordered one of this last week. Already dispatch on Monday. Don't know how long it will take to get to Germany. But as soon as it arrives I will drop some pic here to give others an idea of how it fits with the nexus

If you can make a video it would be cool. I think it looks nice but what about quality? I'm thinking about getting one of this cases.
I have 2 concerns about this case.
#1 landscape using the stand, will the flap hang down over the screen or will it stay back behind the tab?
#2 when holding the tab with the front cover folded behind it, will that flap get in the way of your hands in portrait mode and again, will it interfere with the screen in landscape?

#1 If you fold the flap backwards often enough, you can make it sort of stay upright without it falling over the front while in landscape mode. The flap is soft after all.
#2 The flap is magnetic, you can actually fold it backwards and it will magnetically snap onto the folded front cover, since the front cover has its own internal magnets.
Here are some pics of mine to illustrate.
These look cool, but I really want a smart cover that attaches directly to the back of the Nexus 10 rather than wrapping around the sides...

I ordered one and I received it a few days ago. It too two weeks from order to receive but was well worth the wait. I got the white one and it looks oh so sweet. I'm going to order a couple more colors I like this thing so much. I have the Poetic slimline portfolio thinking that would be the best option but now I'm not so sure. I might have three of these other cases before the Poetic even ships.

I think we need to protect the device as soon as possible, so I ordered one of this cases yesterday because we don't know when Google or Samsung are going to launch an official smart cover for the N10. If they release an official case soon I'm going to buy it, just if it looks nice and the price is good.
Also, advantages I see on this case is that covering the N10's back you're avoiding:
- Fingerprints
- Attract dust
- Back creaking
I received mine the other day. I must say I am not a big fan of it.
The back holds the device very well, but the front cover just does not feel optimized for the tablet.
It slides around and does not grip the screen very well.
Additionally, if you peel back the screen cover and use the magnet to attach it at the back it won't work on portrait mode. The magnet on the back does something to the magnet unlock and it turns off the screen.
It is a case you could use at home, but I would be wary of taking it out into public, or even tossing it into your bag as the front cover does move a bit and could leave the screen vulnerable.
I have the blurex case as well and I will be sticking with that one from now on.

+1 for the Blurex Case. Minimal, yet gives good protection!
I wonder how this compares to the Slimline that just started shipping. Since these are both intended as front-folding (like the iPad's) and thin covers - which is actually thinner?

Did some searching on this board, but really didn't see much focus on those of us looking for rotating cases, so here it is:
Does ANYONE have any leads on well-designed rotating cases for the N7? I'm looking at the following three cases, all of which have yet to become available for purchase, but I'm hoping someone else found something that's available now:
360 Degree Rotating Folio PU Leather Case For Google Nexus 7 - Brown (any opinions on CaseBuy.com as a retailer would be appreciated

MoKo(TM) Folio Cover Case for Google Nexus 7 Android Tablet(With Automatic Sleep/Wake Function) (Looked like a rotating case, but not sure)
I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on the CaseBuy one, but I've never ordered with them, and I don't know if they're shady. Thoughts?
Why are the second two $99?

I saw those too, and I"m also tempted on buying the i-BLASON one as well. Still, I'm trying to see if there's any case that cuts down on the bulk; don't want to make the N7 too unsexy
Have to say that so far I haven't seen a single case that looks worth buying (of maybe 2 or 3 dozen I've seen online). I'm hoping that at least a couple of the manufacturers who turn out the best designed and engineered iPad cases decide to address the Nexus 7 market, given its successful launch (in numbers, not execution) and prospects. So far the pickings are pretty uninspired, if not dismal.

Have to agree, these case look to be about 1 inch thick sandwich with the nexus in the middle. I did like the MoKo(TM) Folding Cover Case (2nd one on first post) but only if its at a more reasonable price range.

No magnet throws me off that case but otherwise looks great. I hope they make a revision with auto-wake.
My main need for a case is to stand it in portrait for when I'm in bed reading. Has anyone bought a case and can tell me that it's good for that. I bought one of those cheap rotating cases from an unknown brand and it's good in landscape but in portrait the stand part is to weak and as soon as i touch it it collapses so I'm wary of trying another

I got this case a week ago. I meant to post but didn't get a chance. No magnet in it but a slim magnet can be slipped inside the first groove (the first groove for landscape viewing). I didn't have many magnets available..i tried some slim ones off the refrigerator but they weren't powerful enough. I took out the magnet from a old 6gb 2.5inch laptop drive and its works. The magnet in the hard drive is very slim and I still need to try and cut down the surronding metal plate to make it as small as possible.
This is the one that I ordered and should be here on Monday:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007S9ZSGW/
The bezel NOT being covered is huge deal breaker for me so this one provides that plus the full 360 degree rotation that I wanted. I have the same one for my Blackberry Playbook and I love it.

I'm looking for one that will work well in portrait for reading. I'd like to know how you like it when you get it especially in the portrait position. I bought one that looked kinda the same but was some cheap no name brand and in the portrait mode the stand part is too weak to hold it up and collapses.

lol I ordered that one also. BTW my RooCase one arrived and I do really like it. The bezel being covered is kinda weird though so I thought I might like the above one better. It also appears to be more slim than the RooCase. The RooCase does work well in Portrait mode and it's a velcro to felt kinda link so you can adjust it however you like. Have yet to put serious use in it but it seems great for the most part.

If your looking for a great Nexus 7 Case at a incredible price .. this is a steal for $15...
It's as advertised, it's multi-angle to any position you want because they grey area is felt, and it has velcro feet on the bottom side of the tablet that let's you position it anyway you want and it's holding up great!! .. it's very stable in portrait mode as well..maybe I do a video or something sometime soon, but it's a steal .. closes by a magnet and I forget what it's called but when you close the cover the screen turns off and when you open the cover the screen turns on...
I honestly can't see them settling at this price for this product .. it's every bit worth the $30 that they have as the retail. I had it pre-ordered and they just started shipping yesterday. I got mine within a day since it's shipping from Southern California ..
Update 7/22: Lots of people are asking about "muffled sound" with this case, in which I reply I don't have an issue with that. For those on the fence, I went ahead and took a picture of the back of the Nexus when the case fully extended. There are in fact holes for the speaker. Let's think about this for a moment. When you use the case in "landscape mode", the holes aren't covered. If you just lay your Nexus 7 flat on a desk and just flip open the cover.."you" are covering the holes. But imo, it's not terrible. It's not like the Nexus 7 puts out Bose Audio quality surround sound .. and again this case is only $15 shipped .. Worse case scenario, Amazon has an excellent and simple return policy.
And if your still unhappy with your sound :crying: .. Grab this free EQ App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zbWFydGFuZHJvaWRhcHBzLmVxdWFsaXplciJd
And Please .. Press the thanks button if I've helped you at all..
Lastly, I'm including a picture of the screen lit up in the case. So you can see that no, the case doesn't cover the screen. The notification bar issues is because there's only a little bit of room there and our fingernails need to be cut!

I am taking a leap of faith since I need a case and this doesn't look as ****ty as the other folio cases out and does have the magnet so :fingers-crossed:
I ordered one of these yesterday. Was $10 w/ 5 dollar shipping basically. Looks good to me in the pics, hopefully it fits good when I get it.
I liked how it had the magnet for auto-wake, and how it had a stand mode for watching movies I guess. And how it was cheap
Im really digging this case. I have a post here about the exogear car mount..and i can mount the nexus 7 with the case still on .. when i get time im going to update my pictures and do a new video on that one as well.. enjoy guys!

The rooCASE looks nice but a bit too thick. What do people think about that?
Thanks
Purchased one of these today. Paid $10 for it earlier. Looks decent enough for me right now. Hope it's good quality.
The one I originally wanted was the one below. Has a handstrap along with a magnet to close the flap. I just can't honestly wait 2 weeks for it so I settled for this one.
Do you think this one has a magnetic closing flap so it doesn't accidentally open?
EDIT: Sorry, just answered my own question. It has a magnetic flap closure.

http://www.amazon.com/YooMee-Androi...qid=1342736104&sr=1-1&keywords=nexus+7+yoomee
I guess I got my answer and the cons outweigh the pros:
"I have noticed that the speaker is quite muted while in this case, and also its kind of bulky. It probably triples the thickness of the nexus 7."
(http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Multi-Angle-Leather-Google-Automatically/product-reviews/B008F05Q2E/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&colid=2KWIRQ1PEHLSD&coliid=I3PNX4KCCN3GST&showViewpoints=1)
The rooCases do increase the bulk but IMO they are worth their weight in gold. I have a leather rooCase on my ASUS Transformer - which got knocked to the ground from a height of about 4 feet and it did not get any damage from the fall, not a nick, dent or crack. Here's a link to the genuine leather rooCase for the Nexus. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008F05Q5Q/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
This one is more expensive; but the inner case is detachable and can reattach in portrait
mode for video chats. The only other downside is the bezel is covered and makes the notification bar marginally harder to pull down.

I have been using this case throughout the day and find it to be very well made. It does add a little bit of bulk but nothing out of the ordinary. The tablet is the very well protected and it stands up well in landscape mode. The overall very happy with the purchase.

Exactly. I was surprised at how well made it is. I also ordered this case: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008GFHO6Y/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00 It's going back. Bulkier than I like and it looks cheap.
I also got this one, which I DO like very much but will probably use it more for my daily commute to work on the train: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008G2UG3A/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00 Love how it converts to a stand.
The Nexus 7 Yoomee case will be my main case, when it arrives - I think. Really like everything about it (and I didn't expect to...)
I have to say, if anyone can let me know how to contact rooCASE for support, I would greatly appreciate it. My wife ordered a case from them for her Samsung GT 10.1, and it pretty much fell apart in the first month or so. She and I have both sent numerous email messages asking for them to honor their lifetime warranty, and neither of us have received a response.
Can't recommend them, honestly, and at this point it's the principle of the whole thing. I simply can't believe that a company of their stature (this isn't some fly-by-night outfit) doesn't respond to email. And, as far as I can see, there's no phone number to call.

I received this case yesterday. I like the size and feel. It fits the N7 very well. It ships from Hong Kong so it took about a week to get to me in Texas. The construction quality looks good so far. Time will tell on durability. Very Flexible and has a magnetic closure.
Is it real leather though?
I have it doesn't fit the nexus 7 well it moves around when its inside the little overlaps and sometimes the front camera is covered by the "leather" so you have to push the nexus 7 up from the bottom corner

I was holding back buying the Asus travel cover as months ago there were leaks showing a premium cover from Asus. But after that there wasn't any mention of that cover anymore...will we ever see that emerge or is it dead?
The funny thing is that there are already Chinese copies to be found on eBay which have exactly the same design, but I'm not going to buy a cheap case anymore, after I bought the smart case ultra slim cover which just started to fall apart today. Literally. And it never fell on the ground.
All other leather cases are too fat, and ugly. So does anybody know if the premium cover will be released soon? Otherwise I'm going to get an Asus travel cover.
BTW: what is the slimmest available nexus cover? Besides the smart cover that is. I'm not going to buy that again.
I would look into the Speck FitFolio case. I have always been impressed with Specks quality and the customer service.
Personal experience with the FitFolio: great fit with all the features you would want and none of the bulk.

Thanks for the link, the case really looks pretty nice. But as I want minimal weight I went for the Asus travel case. I want the slimmest design and it doesn't have to provide the biggest safety as I won't be taking it much outside anyway. I only want it to keep it safe from scratches.
But is really a shame that the premium cover never happened.
I also really wonder why no third party just took the travel case concept and put a magnet in. This would be the perfect case for me. Slimmest fit and magnet, but no additional bulk at all.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but would you link to one of these Chinese knock off cases as it seems the official thing will never arrive. All I can find is news over the product not any where to buy it

Like this? - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Purple-Ul..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item4d08a7e3fe
That's the 'Ebay case' with a magnet that everyone on here raves about, it only lasted me a few months before the plastic started to crack, I wouldn't suggest getting the above unless you fancy getting 3-4 and swapping them when they break

I see, I have one similar to that already, when someone said about copying the design and it being Chinese I figured it would have the nexus logo on the back. I love the functionality of my case which stands in landscape mode up right or flat I was just hoping for some thing that fits more snug around the edges with the nexus in side it, there's a few mm spare room.

What about this case: "http://www.amazon.com/caseen-Multi-Angle-Google-Tablet/dp/B00AFEGDNE/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1358339055&sr=1-4&keywords=caseen+soft+nexus+7" ?

I think an excellent option is this combo:
Genuine leather case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008A1XN28/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
With a TPU case stuck inside instead of sticking the Nexus directly to the case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008LJKPHK/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i01
Any TPU case will do I just put that link in to have both items links to products at Amazon.

Not sure if this is correct as GameStop.com is listing the premium covers on their site for release on the 3rd September. Quite a while away. I'll just be getting a cheap case in the meantime.

at $5.99 I gave it a shot. Thanks OP.
Thanks so much. Been looking for a tpu case just like this. Needed something slim that wasn't a folding case and kept me from getting fingerprints all over that still provided grip and this looks to fit the bill. Nice and cheap too. Probably means it will take forever to get here but my tablet is on its second trip for repair since Samsung scratched my tablet during service.

This is a pretty nice TPU case. The holes for the ports are kind of small, so you might have to jam it in on top of the case, but other than that, this is really nice to hold.

It's mainly because both my charger and headphone ends are slightly bigger than usual.
This is literally the only TPU case on the market for the nexus 10. There is no other option. Can't wait for mine to come in! At the least it will preserve the finish from nicks and scrapes.

I haven't had to charge it since I got mine, but just looking at the headphone port I was thinking the same thing.

The stock charger fits fine.
I'd really like a silicone case (but one that fits snugly) because I want more grip on the N10 than what is afforded by the bare case. Does this one increase the grip or is it somewhat slick like most TPU phone cases?
I received mine but haven't been able to install it yet as parts for my tablet repair are back ordered at the Samsung repair facility. It isn't slick per say but it will probably be on the slicker side of cases as this one has a matte black finish on all but the rim of the cover, rather than the shiny black. When it has a shiny surface there is more surface tension to the material for sure. Overall it is a little less grippy than the finish on the back of the nexus 10 is. I haven't got the case on the phone yet but I would say that it is really nice. The tpu along the body of the case is really nice and thick and the cutouts and edges are nice. I don't see any ugly extra extrusion material or mess ups like I have in the past with some tpu cases. The color of case will blend in perfectly with the device, and it, along with the zip up neoprene case I have for it will make for some nice unobtrusive protection.
The only thing bad I can say about it so far is that it is not embellished at all. Would have been cool to have a nexus logo on the back or maybe just the x design.

Thanks for the info, sounds like I'm still going to be waiting for someone to produce a better silicone cover.
Why silicone unless you are talking about an active type case? I had the all silicone case and without hard plastic over it, the case is floppy and loses shape very quickly.

Yeah, that's the downside of the silicone cases I've seen for other devices. What I want is something to increase the "grippiness" and TPU doesn't seem to be it. But I don't want to go with something that is floppy just to get a better grip.
