My favorite cases

I have a Google official case that's coming in soon, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to use that as my default case. It's pretty disappointing that there's no stand.
I've been driving myself crazy researching cases for the N7 and have narrowed my options down to four. One of my rules with purchasing cases/folios are that they CAN'T cover the bezel.
Here's what I'm looking at:
Poetic Hardbook- $9.95
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008IEGS9W/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1342599330&sr=8-1
Poetic Tribook- $7.95
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-TriBook-Automatically-Manufacturer-Warranty/dp/B008IEGSWO/ref=pd_ybh_12
CaseCrown Ace Flip Case- $20.21
http://www.amazon.com/CaseCrown-Google-Built-magnet-feature/dp/B008K9TRM0/ref=pd_ybh_8
iBlason Slim Folio- $16.95
http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Sleep-Google-Tablet-Orange/dp/B008H3PAP2
Belkin Bi- Fold Case- $37.55 ( Apparently this works really well w/ N7 )
http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Bi-Fold-Stand-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B007XDFO7Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1342647766&sr=1-1&keywords=belkin+bifold+folio
Google Nexus 7 Dock- $32.98
http://www.gadgets4geeks.com.au/product/google_nexus_7_dock
Unfortunately these aren't available right now, but they all look like REALLY good cases. I haven't ordered any of these yet, but I would like to have all of them ( that's not an option ) .
If any of you are going to order one of these, please post below because I'd like some input. Or if you find other cases/ folios that are worthy of a purchase, let me know and I'll update this post.

For all the pictures we'll be taking with the rearview camera, right?

i'm guessing that's a stock photo, because they are being manufactured right now and they just used it to show you an idea of how it will look....but that's just my guess....

I read the fire version of the casecrown ace flip is exactly the same, other than not being smart. I have one coming tomorrow, cost me $8.00. If it's good i might get the smart version, or i'll just put a magnet on it.

If Marware makes a similar case for the Nexus 7, I'm all in!!!

Kobo cover works

Picked this up today at my local Chapters store for $20. I just needed something for when travelling and don't have time to wait for an eBay or Amazon order to cross the border before my next trip.
It's not bad, fits in easily enough (thanks HUGE N7 bezel, you actually came in handy!). It also has a nice feel (different than most PU), and all the ports/buttons are usable while in the cover (though watch the top right strap, it can hit the power button).
Flap folds flat on the back if you want to use it in the case, and the N7 goes in and out of it quickly which is cool with me as this is just to protect it while in a bag, when actually using the N7 it'll come out of the case.
This is the NY Times model that comes in several different styles (I picked the most bland), and there are even nicer ones available if you want to drop more coin but at that point you're better off getting something actually made for the N7.

Nice pick up!
I saw something similar on Amazon from Marware for the Kindle. Also priced at $20.

See this case would be perfect for my wife if they didn't use elastic bands to hold it in, why is it so hard to find something like this that is just a little more industrial (has clips rather than bands)....ugh, the search continues, however this is pretty cheap and my wife might be willing to go with it, would be nice if it was a little smaller to fit the n7, just that much better, but beggars can't be choosers right?

Pillow talk, anyone?

To my surprise, I've gotten used to snuggling up with my Nexus 7 instead of a book to wind down at night. Currently in middle of Season Three (I think) of Northern Exposure. It works quite well to defuse stress.
My problem is that I need something to prop up the tablet. I've tried to prop it on some cushions with other cushions or a book to hold it in place, but it slips down constantly. I have an easel-style stand, and one of the Poetic cases that sort of folds into a stand (but doesn't stay put), but what I really need is a pillow. I even went to try the one being hawked on TV at the moment (the "GoGo Pillow"), and the design would work, but it's too big for the 7" Nexus and not adjustable. I've seen some similar designs, some of which clearly won't accommodate a 7" tablet but others that look like they'd work.
The most promising looks to be the Lap Pro on Amazon, but I'd love to hear a personal recommendation if anyone's tried one of these or a similar product.
Does anyone have a solution that works for this very first-world problem? Next up, why does Whole Foods leave the feta in the salad bar in such big unmanageable chunks? :laugh:

Wasn't entirely sure how you have your tablet from what I read.
Do you prefer to watch it while lying down? On your side? On your stomach?
Or do you sit while you doze off? Personally I have this case (rooCASE Multi-Angle) which would be helpful if you have it laying next to you on your side. In addition, I love it when you are working on a desk, as it gives you that angled look without having to hold it up. Not only that, it's pretty thick, and I carry various stuff like the crazy college kid I am, but know the tablet can take a beating and a good dropping while in my book bag.
I know it's out of stock but there are many cases like it. I think you can find a very similar one made by poetic.
Hope this helps out. :fingers-crossed:

I found this on google, I thought it might be interesting!
https://www.google.com/search?q=tab...P_qQGLvIDoBw&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1440&bih=785

Something like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal...let_Mounts_Stands_Holders&hash=item2587de5534
I have a couple of these, one at work and one at home, fits the N7 perfectly and the angle is completely adjustable.

This is useful
Thanks for sharing this / Thought it is a simple search in google / It made me to understand what a Pillow Talk is

Rotating Z2 case

So I'm buying the Z2 tablet soon and I wanted to get a good case with it.
I looked around through the various cases, and I found this one I liked the most:
Coodio® Sony Xperia Z2 10.1 inch LTE Tablet 360 Rotating Stand Leather Cover Built-in Hand Grip Card Holder with Auto Wake Sleep Mode (Black). You can google it to find it on Amazon, I can't post links yet.
I like the rotating part so I can have my tablet stand vertical (for reading books and textbooks).
Anyone know if this is a decent case?
Are there any other cases that have the rotating thing so I can stand my tablet vertically?
Also will the case fit on the Wifi model? I checked the dimensions of both and they seem the same so I hope it will.

I have the official case and it works perfect with headphones. Just fold it like that ....

Don't get sad; there's a secret about that headphones-friendly position of the original case proud owners seldomly talk about: Just look hard at it - and it will come down like a house of cards. You cannot use the screen if the cover is folded like that - just touch it and it collapses right away.

Motorcycle mount

Does anyone have a motorcycle mount for S7 Edge? I have never used any of those. Maybe you could recommend some brands. I've searched through google and it looks very limited, thanks.

Look for Ultimate Addons cases. I have the one for the S5 and it's great! Loads of vibration protection and waterproof - including charging
RAM mount so I used a tefflezer (or something like that) yoke mount. Works really well.
The S5 case I had one of the clips snapped - they replaced the whole case withing 2 days. Their Customer Service is brilliant.
But the S5 case was about £30...

Can't recommend anything specific, but I would recommend something that completely encloses the phone and locks it in place, like this:

Many years ago I had a Palm Treo in a mount that simply clamped on the sides of the phone (similar to this):
Had an accident, and the phone flew about 30 feet down the road. Found the phone (with the antenna stub ground down), and the battery cover, but never found the battery.

Ram mounts are very secure, sold on Amazon. I use them on bikes, know people who use them on motorcycles.

Well, RAM mounts are the only ones I kinda 'like' so far. However, after doing some research I noticed some people had problems with their mounts losing phones (especially in horizontal mode). Can't say I am convinced... Would rather get something like @meyerweb posted in his first picture.
EDIT: Alright, as I ain't trusting this RAM thing (simply found too many negative reviews) I came upon something like this http://www.givi.it/motorbike-accessories/Supports-for-mobile-devices-and-power-supply-kits/S957B
Givi is solid when it comes to bags and stuff but how about this holder? Can't find many reviews but it looks neat.
