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) Folding Cover Case for Google Nexus 7 Android Tablet, Purple (With Automatic Sleep/Wake Function, Flip Stand, Elastic Hand Strap, Stylus Loop, and MicroSD Slot)
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?

expensive... the last 2
dont want to pay that for a case.

The second one also claims to have a micro SD card slot.

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!

Now it is on Prime but at $15 (would be the same when it was $10 with $5 in shipping)
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 the Kindle Fire version of this case and though it fits it doesn't close properly. The Nexus 7 version should fit perfectly. I think you'll be happy with it. Great quality for the price.

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 don't want a case that covers the bezel or the back, just something to protect my n10 when it is slung in my backpack or messenger bag.
Does anyone know if these will fit the n10?
Samsung Textile Pouch
Kensington Soft Carrying Case
Proporta Perfora which is listed as a Nexus 10 case but seems to be a netbook case so will likely be too thick.
I am thinking about a sleeve myself.
To protect the nexus 10 while not in use or carrying it, but not to add bulk to the tablet while in use.
I am thinking about picking up a case logic sleeve.

I'd like to know too. You can get it through Amazon cheaper http://www.amazon.com/Case-Logic-LA...id=1353866151&sr=1-1&keywords=LAPST-110-BLACK and their return procedure is pretty painless.
I'd try it myself but my N10 hasn't arrived yet and I want to try the Galaxy Tab 10.1 accessories I already have before buying more "stuff".
Let us know.
I picked up this HP case (based on a recommendation in another thread):
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Mini+Laptop+Sleeve/9926416.p?id=1218196187925&skuId=9926416
I picked it up off of Amazon for $10, but the picture over on Amazon is not correct (this picture on BestBuy is correct). It has padding on both sides of the device in the main pocket plus a second zippered pocket for cable, headphones, charger etc. It is the right size and the N10 fits in the case right; but, I am sure there are smaller cases if you don't need the large second pocket across the whole case. I picked this case up to have it available now as I am watching other cases being released. I also have three more different cases on order for different situations. My favorite so far is the Poetic Slimline case, but it is not available until the end of December. Good luck.
This Samsung-made pouch fits damn-near perfect:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055193HU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
It fits pretty tight at first, but loosens up over about 10 insertions and removals. It doesn't cover 100% of the tablet though, there's still about ~3mm of the tablet exposed at the open end. To me it's negligible, since it's used to place the tablet into my backpack.
And it's less than 11 bucks.
I didn't want some big hard cover, just a sleeve, but also didn't want to spend any money on it so just made my own last night using half of a full-desk neoprene gaming mousemat and a needle exactly what i was after for simply carrying it around and such. It's not perfect but it was free and does it's job ut great

FYI, I bought this one
http://www.amazon.co.uk/V7-Protective-Sleeve-iPads-Tablets/dp/B0085JT0BS/
Its quite thick (~30mm) with the Nexus 10 inside, but I felt the bubbles inside should really help protect the screen when its in my laptop bag.
The zip closes no problem, but it wouldn't take a tablet even a few mm taller(in portrait), width-wise(also in portrait) there is a good 20mm space. The padding is quite thin on the zip and edges, protected, but not as well as the main faces. I feel it is a good buy.

I like the looks of this one, because while I think I'll be using the thing naked most of the time, I know I need a sleeve, plus this one can prop the unit up if I want to watch a movie on an airplane or something.

ASUS Versasleeve
Using an ASUS Versasleeve (sold TF700) and it works great. Fit is perfect and case doubles as a stand with two positions (typing and viewing). I prefer using my tablets naked and have been through 5+ cases before deciding on the Versasleeve.

I tried this case from LLC but the N10 was too wide to fit in. I'm hoping for something like this to come out for the N10. The magnetic top closes it nicely and keeps it folded when you use it as a folio style stand. It's also paper thin. If anyone has a line on something like this for the N10 please post:

Can't go too wrong for $10.62 delivered. Goo designs a beautiful product and then tells the user to either risk carrying it around naked or put it into a case that will defeat their design efforts? I believe the cover they promoted, if it had been available, would have have helped them to sell more tablets.

Thanks for the tip. I've tried it with mine and I almost didn't get it out and then sold it with my Galaxy Tab 10.1. I loved the pouch because it was very slim, minimalistic and the tablet was slightly protected when it was just laying around on the couch or when I put it in my laptop bag.
Unfortunately it's 22€ on Amazon.de (around $25) but I think it's still worth it since I hate it when a case is completely attached to the tablet.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/170933946177?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
+ pre-ordered the Slimline on Amazon.
Will post review when I get it
P.S. UPS shows tracking that my Nexus 10 will be here today...Woohoo
Got a few pictures of the Galaxy Tab Case and the Asus Versasleeve.
The galaxy case is housing the N10 pretty well at this point, with almost 0 protrusion of the tablet.
Overall, I think I will be using the Versasleeve. I remember people complaining about the plastic smell on the Nexus 7 poetic cases, but holy hell this Asus case is much worse in the magnitude of smell.
Other than the ugly brown, I think it'll work well.

I like the looks of this one, because while I think I'll be using the thing naked most of the time, I know I need a sleeve, plus this one can prop the unit up if I want to watch a movie on an airplane or something.

Hello,
I'm most definitely buying a Nexus 10 this weekend. What are the best accessories for it?
Most importantly I am looking for a dock/kickstand and a case. Can you people recommend any?
Thanks,
Crazysah
http://www.amazon.com/IPAD-ST-Universal-Tablet-Stand-Kindle/dp/B0045JNBNU is a pretty nice basic stand that works fine.
Any other recommended accessories out there?
The Moko Slim-Fit (note, NOT ultraslim) is a great case with the ability to act as a kickstand at multiple angles.

This Poetic case has been great for me.

+1 for the Poetic Hardback. I have a smart cover and a silicon case, but keep going back to the Hardback.
I would also recommend getting a POGO cable. Some question the price/value, but at this point it is the only option and I have found it quite useful in terms of somewhat faster charging and less wear on the micro usb port.
If you use screen protectors, you can just leave the one on that it ships with unless you want an anti-glare protector.
Get the SGP screen protector. Absolutely beautiful.

I've heard a lot about the Moko Slim-Fit versus the Poetic Hardback? Not exactly sure which is better.
So that is for the case. Both have kickstands right? So no need for a dock then?
And the POGO cable, yes, I'll get it.
Anything else I should for?

There are no true docks available for this device yet that I am aware of.
The Hardback case can be configured to prop the tablet open to several angles with the top cover laying flat in front of the screen. That might work differently than what some people think of as a kickstand, which to me is something that opens from the back to prop the tablet up and nothing lies in front of the screen. The problem with either style is that the POGO connector is on the bottom, so you might end up using the micro usb for power or maybe flip the screen upside down in the case, but then the power and volume buttons are on the bottom and you have the POGO connector sticking out on top. We really want a true dock for this soon...
Okay. The only question now is, The Moko Slim-Fit or the Poetic Hardback?
Why the poetic have that ugly cross on it ... Little macabre

I have the moko slim-fit, here's a quick run-down:
It's quite a good looking case, with various different colour options (I took orange). The PU material did not come stinking of catpiss, is very well made and shows no signs of wear after some use.
It has magnets that wake/sleep the screen and it can prop the tablet up at various angles.
It has a really nice microfiber interior, which will never scratch the screen and feels pleasant to the touch.
All the ports are exposed and easily accessible, as well as the buttons (this is not true for the poetic).
I also read that the corners on some peoples' poetic cases would crack.
Those are pretty much the reasons why I bought the Moko and I am more than pleased with it. Excellent case.

I would say the exact same thing about mine. It is a great feeling case especially when opened with the lid behind. It also has the little elastic to hold it fully open as well as the hand slip which I use at work all the time

Hi,
Hi, I use my Noreve leather case I bought for my TF700.
It fits a little tight because the dimensions of the TF701 differ just 1 or 2 millimeters but it fits.
And it is the nicest very compact high value case there is IMHO.
edit: Noreve will come within 14 days with an adapted case for the 701.
Looks pretty nice, quite expensive as well, though.
I bought this one http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B005HI4FPG/ which is much cheaper and alright for me. I think you can't use the tablet that good when it's in the case, though.

I have that case for a few months now (TF700T version), and it fit perfectly on the TF701T. No ports, cameras, or anything is blocked. I have the one without the bezel swipe feature that you have in the Amazon link. You will like it. The leather is great quality and the stitching is well done.
Just posted this in the other case thread in the General section, probably someone will merge them together!
I've ordered this one: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B007MTLWWW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
hope it will fit, should be receiving it tomorrow i hope

I'd like to find a reasonably priced alternative that is available now leaving me the option to switch in the future if I'm not happy with it. I like this type of case. The caseen option looks like it is similar, but is twice the price.
Thanks,

I'd say give us a try . We have been developing cases for the Transformer series since the TF101, and we have come a long way to making our Perfecto Pro model. From our experience, you lose something on universal type cases or non-premium ones. Be it a camera port, speaker port, light sensor blocked etc. I know its expensive, but the material and labor cost is extremely high for this case.
PM if any other questions .

Yes I'm holding out for this one too. No indication of when it goes on sale though.
Here some pictures of the Noreve case for the TF700 (I have it in black) made by another user (thanks for them).
The one for the TF701 is very slightly bigger due to the slightly thicker dock.
I will get mine tomorrow.
It is not cheap but it is very very well made (real high quality leather) and comes in a beautiful box.
Need a Hard Shell Case!
I have just gotten my TF701.
I love it! However, using it naked makes me nervous.
I went ahead and ordered the caseen perfecto for it, but I will be looking for a hard shell cover.
Something similar in construction style to the Trident Kraken or the Lifeproof cases for smartphones.
I doubt I will ever dock it, I didnt even order the dock. However, it will be carried along in and out of clients offices, in and out of my truck, and generally abused. The company iPad was in a lifeproof case, and survived all of that without a scratch.... I just hate iPads.
Are there any options out there for me? Because all I find at the moment are the portfolio style cases designed to work with the keyboards.
Without the keyboard, the TF701 is still just about the baddest Android tablet available.

Moko cover for 700 works for 701 - with minor alterations
That Caseen is just way too expensive! Over $50 US after shipping and taxes. Insane. I'm currently using the Moko 360 Degree Roto Cover that I used with my TF700 for over a year. The 701 fits in there just fine, but since the buttons on the 701 are more toward the back of the device than on the 700 and the volume buttons are in a completely different place, I had to make a couple small snips in the leather with some scissors to get better access to the volume buttons and the microSD slot. It's still not ideal, but it works for me. Probably won't work for you if you're someone who uses the volume buttons very much - the volume buttons are still a bit of a tight squeeze up against the back of the cover. The snips really aren't noticeable unless you're looking for them. It's not an ideal situation but until more accessories made specifically for the 701 start showing up, this $20 solution is good enough for me. My only complaint about the cover is that the cutout that allows access to the charging port is not reinforced with thread and seems like it would be prone to fraying over time. Thankfully, my wife was able to fix that with a needle and some decent white thread so it looks just like the stitching around the rest of the cover and I'm not worried it's going to fray apart.
I just got this one, works great for when the tablet is out of the dock. I like this style of case more than the ones that cover the whole bezel.

Did You get this case for the 701, I'd like one as it fits my needs, taking the tab in my hands often.
But the website doesn't show the 701 yet.
EDIT: found it, it is the same as TF300.

Is this the same as http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Slim-fit...=1386169321&sr=8-2&keywords=moko+nexus+7+case except that it is matched to the 701? I had one of these for my 201 and liked it. Are all of the cutouts well matched? How long did it take to arrive?
Thanks for any information.
