envelope case for nexus 10 - Nexus 10 Accessories

just got my nexus 10 and wondering where to put it.
and i got a spare evouni envelope case for mba 11".
which also fits well with my nexus 10, though a liitle bit loose.

A cousin of mine bought one of the below Leather pouches for his Samsung Series 9 laptop, looks sexy as hell. Bit on the large size though.

Wow, it seems cool!Where did you get it? And what the material of it?
I’d like to get one too!

I would recommend this if you are wanting complete protection while in envelope

Interesting. The Amazon listing says leather in the title, but refers to ballistic nylon and 3do in the description. If it's really the original leather and 3do case for $5 that's great. Anyone know? Also... How do the dimensions line up with the N10?
EDIT: see post #7 in this thread -- I got the case and was extremely disappointed. Not worth $5.

I do t have this one... But I do have one of their cases for my iPhone 3gs and it is pretty indestructible.

Yes -- I remember seeing the demo videos for Tech21 and d30. Very impressive stuff. This appears to be a great price. From what I can see, it looks like the long dimension would be about 1/2" longer than the Nexus 10, and the narrow dimension about 1" greater than the narrow dimension of the Nexus 10. The case is definitely a bit oversized. However if it's leather, with two layers of d30, it would be a pretty fantastic case / sleeve for $5...
Edit: I searched some more, and it appears that the same d3o case is being sold on different sites anywhere from $5 to $45. For $5 including shipping, I figured it's worth a risk. If it's leather with d3o that will be a fantastic deal. If it's ballistic nylon with d3o then it's still a good deal. Already shipped. I should have it next week. Really curious!

Ugh... Just received it. Very disappointing. I really like Tech21 cases and D3O, but this case seems like a poor imitation. There's orange fabric inside, but it's loose and wrinkled, and it seems that there's no D3O under the fabric. Bad production run? Fake? Defective D3O that dried up? No idea, but I recommend against getting this. Also: despite the measurements, the Nexus 10 does NOT fit in this case.
Total waste.

Oh well, I guess no need to look forward to receiving the package I ordered one Friday. Thought it would be a nice sleeve since I plan on keeping it naked in the house, guess I'll get one from SFbag.

What about some of the cases on etsy.com? Handmade and seems fairly well made.

Yes - quite a variety on Etsy and some of them look very nice. Comparing with SFBags and Waterfield Designs -- if I were opting for a high quality sleeve, I'd lean toward the Waterfield Designs products from SFBags for a couple of reasons:
- The sleeves are explicitly made and sized precisely for the Nexus 10. Most of the sleeves on Etsy state that they are for "Nexus 10 or iPad", which leads me to believe that they're either wrong, or the sleeves are only an approximate fit. The Waterfield sleeves are designed specifically to be just snug enough so the tablet doesn't fall out, but not so tight that the N10 is difficult to remove -- they illustrate this well in the videos on the website.
- The Waterfield sleeves include dense padding, along with a rigid screen protector under the padding and fabric. It doesn't come in contact with your Nexus 10, but it helps protect the screen from shock when it's in the case. Seems like better protection to me.
After that, it comes down to personal preference, design, materials and price.

I received mine today and I got a folio case for a Galaxy tab 10.1 from tmobile lol.. The funny thing is I wish it was for the Nexus as its a very nice case. Its not worth the hassle of contacting Amazon about it but I'm guessing the seller is counting on people thinking that way.

The more closely I looked at what I received, the clearer it was that the vendor misrepresented what he was selling. I was annoyed enough to write a review, post some pictures at Amazon, and also file a complaint. Interestingly enough, the seller contacted me within 48 hours and put in for a full refund (all of $5), which Amazon confirmed the next day.
Here's a link to the review I posted on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Prot...dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
In contrast, I also purchased the Moko Slim Fit multi-angle case -- NOT the "PU Leather" version for $6, but I found they sell a true/genuine leather version for $21 -- with zero cost for 2 day shipping if you have Prime (I love Prime!). Anyway - the Moko genuine leather case is excellent. Fits perfectly, doesn't obstruct anything, very nicely finished and looks great. Ieave it on day and night -- and love it.Here's a link to the product:

Why no mention of this case?

So I noticed there's been a lot of talk regarding the Blurex Magyc Folio case (amzn.c0m/B008D2Q8RG) but I am amazed no one has picked up on Blurex's other case for the Nexus 7, the Ultraslim model (amzn.c0m/B008D2POAS).
Based on the pictures, the case looks MUCH slimmer than most of the other cases here. It also doesn't cover the bezel, much like the Moko and Poetic. Furthermore, it has the on/off magnetic sleep feature. And guess what? The case is only $5!!
Seriously, am I missing something? Why has there been little to no talk of this case? And since it is sold by Prestige Milano, the official Blurex reseller, the possibly of it being fake is out of the question...This seems like the real deal.
That's because my Nexus 7 hasn't arrive for me to use this case. I got this. It's so cool looking. I have the Blurex Magyc Folio Case. And I'm mad you found this for $5. I spent $10. And yes I'm complaining about not being able to save $5. LoL!!
Glad to hear I'm not the only one! So could I ask, did you also buy yours from Prestige Milano and can you post any pics by any chance
Blurex has a really nice customer support and they ship to Canada for 6 bucks!

Anyone else bought/received this item? And still no answer as to why this case has been ignored (which is evident by the lack of responses in this thread). Am I missing something? Is there a catch to this case?
First of all, you use the same link twice for the Amazon item (the incorrect one for the case you're talking about). Maybe correct that so folks know what you're talking about. Secondly, that case is talked about plenty, though from different value added resellers. With that said, $5 + $2.60 shipping each is pretty darn good when compared against the wholesale price direct from China.

Thanks for pointing that out! I've edited my first post to include the correct link.
This is pretty much the same case I have for my Fire. It's a great case for the money. However, when I search for B008D2POAS, I see the case for $5. When I click on it the price goes to $9.99. LOL - I did that twice to verify, now I just did it again and it shows $9.99. Sometimes shopping at Amazon is like day trading
Anyway, with the shipping it puts the case into the same range as the other Bluerex case and some others.
I ordered this one which is pretty much the same exact case when it was $5 last week:

Do you mean mention like in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751662
Both Blurex, all three threads I mean, mention the folio and the one you linked is the "newer" version. I was sent an email from Alex telling me they had an issue with the 600 in stock units. The wake magnet is too strong and would sleep the unit if you folded the "stand" back a lot..
The one you mention was the exact one I asked Blurex about in particular, he had to set it to no stock, until they fixed them. They were $5.00 originally (last week) - Guessing they fixed them, and raised the price to about double for the fix..
It's very similar to these;

Wow, that's weird...seems like it was as an error in the first place. $5 is too good to be true. So is your Kindle case also Blurex, can you comment on the quality of the case?

Yh, I noticed this case too, however, I was put off by the fact that it is only available for preorder. Do you know when it's to be released and also whether it holds any particular advantage over the Blurex case? Based on the pic, they both look the case...
I have one like this coming in today and will give it a shot with my N7. Have a different case on order as well, but it won't ship until Aug 20th so I need something temporary until then.

There really isn't much special about that case IMO, looks like most of the others. I ordered the Moko, which doesn't cover the bezel and it has landscap and portrait modes with the Sleep/Wake function.

Just picked up the Blurex Ultraslim model. You're right in that it looks much slimmer than the Blurex Magyc Folio. Also, I like that the Ultraslim model doesn't cover the bezel which I think looks really tacky.
Not impressed. While it is slimmer than the case that fellow employee got, this does not include the magic magnet, and it covers the bezel edges making it more difficult to use.
Note that it never said it included the magnet, and I never assumed it would, but since the case makes reaching the buttons including power button harder, the lack of such a feature makes using it much harder. Also, it is hard to use the unit near the edges of the screen because the case is in the way.
My wife has informed me she is getting a Nexus 7 now (guess who is buying it), she can use this when she gets it. In the meantime, I will stick with the sleeve that I've been using.

I bought it for 6.99$ with free two day prime shipping, off of amazon here

and here is a different model for only 3.99$ USD.

The Leather Flip Case is identitical to the Blurex ultraslim case and Moko, Iblason and Yomee all have it as well. It is well reviewed. I am going to pull the trigger on it due to the price

Its highly likely that this same case from Blurex, Moko, IBlason, Yomee, Khomo have all come from the same chinese vendor.
None of these companies makes the cases themselves. They buy from China and then resell, its a pretty solid business deal. Almost anyone can start a company in the US peddling Chinese goods, just go to http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/612200809/for_google_nexus_7_case.html

Just got my case in. Im very satisfied with it, the fake leather and microfiber don't feel cheap at all, it feels nice and doesnt add any bulk to the case. I recommend it, great value for the price.
I like this $7.00 case a lot more than I did my $50 Portenzo case.
Seriously guys, the 3.99$ case, is awesome too, doesn't even remotely feel cheap, these better be sold out by the time I look at them tomorrow, BUY THEM!

Video Review: Cruzerlite Androidified Case

Hey fellas,
I normally post on the Galaxy S3 accessory forums but a few of my viewers have been asking for Nexus 7 product reviews, so I've gotten some cases in and will review them. The first I received was the Cruzerlite Androidified case, which is a simple TPU case that wraps around the sides and back of the tablet. It features a distinct 'android army' imprint on the back, which has a slightly matte finish to it. It's lightweight and offers decent protection, so it is a good 'average' case. It retails for $20 and comes in a myriad of different color options.
If anyone is interested in a giveaway of these, let me know. I can get a few in from Cruzerlite is there is enough demand
Check out my full video review below for more info;
Its a nice case, Id get one in red but IDK if a tpu case is worth $20.00

Cruzerlite is giving me a few cases for giveaway, so maybe you'll get lucky
Great job on the review ! Id love one in Orange looks really nice
I have an Androidified case for my GNex, and I liked the design (and price) of that version much better than the one for the Nexus 7. But I have to say it does scratch fairly easily. I treat my gadgets very gingerly, but just being slid around on my desk at work or put in my purse during traveling (in a pocket away from my keys and other things that could damage it) it still picked up lots of little scratches.
At any rate, I don't like the "lots of tiny Andys" design as much as the "one large Andy" version, and for $20 I don't think it's worth it, considering there are other TPU cases available that are also good quality for about half the price. For $20 you can get the ASUS travel case, which isn't everyone's favorite, but it has a nice feeling finish (due to the microdots all over it) and the front flap, which to me is the better deal. If you tape a thin magnet to the front flap of the ASUS case you'll have a serviceable smartwake function, as well.
Good review, it just helped me realize that this case is not for me, and I wanted to make sure people knew about the scratching thing. It's not terrible, but it can happen and it does mar the finish of the case, at least on my GNex anyway.

Nice case and nice review, its similar to nilkin tpu case....

Something like the Poetic Slimline, but better quality?

I really like the functionality of the Poetic Slimline case for my Nexus 7. The tri-fold cover, magnetic closure, light weight and thinness are great. What is not so great is the quality of the materials and construction.
Has anyone found a case of similar design and functionality, but of better quality? Real leather, better fit and finish? Anything better out there?

I am wondering the same thing. I am going to be getting a nexus 7 soon so I have been trying to pick out a case. I like everything about the poetic slimline except all that is holding me back is all the reviews talking about the poor build quality and it falling apart.
The Nillkin leather smart case is another one I'm looking at that's similar, here it is

I have the Poetic case and it serves it's purpose but once I bought the Speck FitFolio I was completely happy. It's worth the few extra bucks without a doubt.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I too have Poetic Slimline, and I have not liked the build quality from the first time I laid my eyes on it on Xmas day.
The Speck case looks a lot better, but I would prefer the magnetic latches of the Poetic over the manual latch of the Speck. Other than that, the Speck would be a no brainer.
The Moko also looks like it has a few straps that would anoy me.
I literally want a non-crappy built Poetic Slimline and I would be happy.
i say get the nillkin, exotek or MoKo.
(ive got the MoKo)
One interesting thing about the Moko, it looks like you might be able to slide it into a dock while leaving it in the case, but that would need tested. You would just let the flaps lay behind the dock if they would bent correctly without interfering.
I just ordered the Speck about an hour ago.

You really narrowed it down for him, why not throw in the speck while you're at it.
For serious, any reason you left that one out?
Speck Looks nice but that latch and the price do not smh I think imma grab the MoKo

Moko looks good but is it worth the additioanl money over the Exotek? I might get that since it is so cheap.
They look exactly the same... am I missing something?
If you want cheap, from Amazon and with free Prime shipping may I suggest this $10 case. Seems just like the others to me. I have one and like it:

Can you do a video review of this?
I am very skeptical because the Poetic Slimline use external magnets on both sides of the case to keep the cover closed because if they only have magnets on the cover, it will be too strong and will turn off the device when the cover is flipped to the back. And if the magnets on the cover is just right, then I really doubt it will keep the cover closed which will be a problem because when it flaps around it will keep turning the screen on and off...
Otherwise this look exactly like the Poetic Slimline but even smaller. (Doesn't mean it is better quality though).
Really interested in a review of this.
So are there actually any covers that are not leather, but rubber exterior? Something like these: https://www.hammerheadcase.com/
I don't get all the complaints about the poetic quality. Had mine for 2 months and its still perfect.

Look at Devicewear's The Ridge, and the Speck FitFolio, or the Incipio Slim Kickstand Folio
I also backed out from ordering a poetic slimline case because of some of the quality issues shown in the customer uploaded images on Amazon. Glue issues, fraying, etc... I'd also recommend against the trifold cover design as it is definitely more prone to toppling over.
If you want something similar and maybe a bit better for typing and other such use, the nicest I've seen was the Incipio Slim Kickstand Folio, but it isn't the most available case around. The good news is, it's basically the same case as the Speck FitFolio or Devicewear's the Ridge.
Speck's a more widely known brand, but I saw a few FitFolios, in a couple of stores, showing wear along their corners while still on shelves. The vegan leather material seemed a bit like an eraser from the ones I felt. I also didn't care for the harbor blue color when it came to the poly-shell against the color of the device, especially since it doesn't fully cover the back of your N7. I also didn't care for the clip, not that it doesn't have some use.
I went with Devicewear's The Ridge option myself. It's very slim. It has full shell coverage for the back of the N7 with holes for the mics (wifi). I believe there are three color options available. The outside leather is a bit less soft than the FitFolio, and it uses a soft stap to stay closed instead of a dangling clip. The sleep function works when it's supposed to, and doesn't when it's not supposed to.. I felt like I was taking a slight chance with it because a lot of the reviews seemed fake, but so far its been a very good case.
Don't sell the Poetic Slimline short
Gotta be honest, been using the poetic slimline case for a couple of weeks now, and I must have got insanely lucky or something, becase I really dont have any complaints. Doesn't really add much heft to the device (I came from an HTC flyer, and even with the case this is slimmer and lighter than the flyer was bare) provides decent protection, doesn't get in my way, and (after trimming a few little threads off the cover with a razor knife) has continued to look awesome regardless of my poor treatment of it. I think cases are up to personal opinion in the end, but I for one will certainly not complain about the poetic. Just another opinion.

It's smart. It's the case I use. Pleather covered cheap metal (my guess, could be plastic) that grips the Nexus in 6 places, the corners and midpoint of each short side. You slip the tablet out of the 2 bottom most corners and then sit it one of the slots in the lid of the case to use it like a stand. Pretty much how all of this sort of case works. But no it's not as thin as a true smart cover lid. OTOH the lid has a lip that clips over the Nexus to keep it closed and is thicker offering more protection and even an elastic grip to hold the tablet in portrait orientation.

Nexus 7 Case Advice

Hi guys,
since I got my Nexus 7 WiFi almost a month ago and still don't have a proper case, I finally decided to buy one, but I'm not sure yet which one to get, as there's quite a few different ones out there.
What I'm looking for:
- reliable sleep/wakeup functionality when opening/closing the case
- useable as a stand when in landscape mode
- should not cover up any connectors/plugs of the N7 WiFi
- material plastic or faux leather
- dark color, preferably black
- not too expensive
- should provide good protection from scratches, smaller falls etc.
Would really appreciate your advice on this one, especially if you made some good/bad experiences with (multiple) different cases.
A bonus would be if the case also was available in a european-based online shop, as I live in Germany, but its not a necessity.
Thanks in advance, looking forward to your suggestions
Tech21 make nice leather folio cases with d30 material inside, should be good for a fall;
http://shop.tech21.uk.com/store/Pro...02W_Google-Nexus-7-Leather-Case--Impact-Folio
No sleep function but it has a pocket on the lid where you could stick a magnet inside to create the sleep function, I've stickytaped one in and it works great.
Thanks for the suggestion, but that one is a bit out of my price range.
I also don't need neither real leather nor a super hi-tech drop/fall protection.
I'm looking for something for about 20-30 Euros, if possible.
Roocase
I have a roocase that is basically exactly what you described. But it's over $30 from what I found

Thanks, I looked it up on Amazon, but there seem to be lots of different versions of the roocase for the Nexus 7, many of them in my price range.
Which case do you have exactly, could you maybe hook me up with a link?
Like you I bought my Nexus7 around a month ago and spent a lot of time thinking about which case to get.
In the end I went with this one from Amazon and it really is as good as it looks in the pics.
Plus it's amazing value.

I'm not exactly sure, I received it as a gift and threw the packaging away long ago.
although there are various other threads on this same topic. I suggest the poetic slimline, it's what i use and seems to have all the qualities your looking for.
i bought the poetic that everyone here raves about. it looks very nice, but the problem i gave with it is the stand. after a couple of weeks it is very weak. i also bought and highly recommend the Moko Slim Case. looks great, fits perfect and the stand is much sturdier and has two viewing angles. it also has a loop on it to hold your stylus and a strap for your hand to slide into very comfortably. theres even an elastic strap that fits over the corners to keep case secured open when in use in your hand so the the cover doesnt flap around. highly recommend this product. youtube review of it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8eTdyBgbnI
and you can get it on amazon for $15.99 http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Slim-fit-Google-Android-Tablet/dp/B008FLYROG
I have the poetic slim in black and got it for 12 shipped on amazon. Like said above it's stand gets weak after awhile and isn't ideal for that. The reason I got it was to protect the screen and to not be bulky. It does that job really well.
