temporary solution until Asus smart cases get released
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I ordered an N7 bag like that from amazon for 5 bucks, I hate folio cases and like the feeling of a bare tablet jn my hands. Only catch is it won't get here until Monday.
Anyone know if GS sells similar cases? I want to pick one up and return it once my case gets here.

Do you think it would be possible to buy and replace the back cover for this device. My dog bit my Nexus 7 and there are some bit marks on the back.
Dunno...any scratches on the screen?
Give it some time but I am sure we will see a couple third party backs. Saw one on eBay already but didn't trust the seller.

You can always get a skin to put on it. I saw some cool looking ones on Amazon or eBay and was going to go that route until I opted for the keyboard case.

Nope the scree is fine. Which is suprising cause he was going at it pretty hard.

Did you have jelly bean wallpaper on lol

I saw a back cover for sale on ebay. I'm sure there's going to be plenty more for sale when the unit is actually released. I'm waiting for a nexus 7 tear down. I also want to know if the plastic rim around the tablet can be replaced as well. I kind of dented it and was wondering if it can be purchased.
That's one way to fix the screen seperation issue.

Let us know how it is! I'm thinking about rocking with a hard back cover and a screen protector!
I have this same exact tpu cover on my N7 and it works pretty good. Feels nice and wraps around the device nicely. Definitely will protect it against small drops and scratches.

My son has down syndrome, I'd like to use the nexus as a playback device for videos and communication apps.
Any recommendations on a case that can survive drops?
Am I living in a fantasy world?
Thanks

There are a number of companies who... will be making... tough cases (Otterbox for example will probably do one). I don't think there's anything around just yet though. As with any case the weak point will always be the screen, you can maybe do something about that with a heavy duty screen protector.
There aren't many tough cases for the Nexus 7 yet. I'd keep an eye on this one for when it becomes available. http://www.bobjgear.com

That bobjgear one looks pretty good and available in a couple of days.
squaretrade might be a better investment, if they cover drops and breaks
The Gumdrop ballistic case will be coming out in October.

It's your best bet for lots of protection.
Thanks. I'll keep my eye out for these.

Seidio makes great cases but i dobt know if they will make one for us. I have been meaning to call them but haven't had the time. If i find anything i will post the info

Those bobj cases are looking pretty awesome! Can't wait for the release

Well i asked and there is a Seidio case in the works. There is no ETA for it which sucks. Its a active case with a multifunction cover.
I have used their products for a while and im happy with them just hope it comes out soon because i need something.

I had one of these for my kindle fire and loved it. I'm getting by with a cheap case for my N7 until the Seidio case comes out.
I'll be keeping my eye out for this also. I've had seidio active cases on mine and my wifes nexus s's for over a year and a half now. They are great and have held up well. I like how they feel in the hand with their grippy silicon like material and they give the device great protection.

Was on their website and they have one case available, without a cover unfortunately.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
They are still not shipping but i saw it. The other one should be the same as the one in the picture but with a cover of course.
Debating if i want to go with the regular active case and a screen protector or the other case.
For those that havent used seidio before. Its kinda like a tpu case. Rubber with a hard plastic shell over it.
I have used them on my phones for a while now and im happy with these cases.

I love my surface case for my phone. The material they use is perfect. It is grippy for your fingers yet slippery in you pocket.

Pics of the other case are up. I like it. Im getting it. The best case to date in my opinion.. Still coming soon but shouldnt be long now

A 'Surface' would be smaller, but it looks good. First to market will get my money. Otterbox is going to lose out it seems.

I tried otterbox with my phone and i didn't like it. I sometimes need to take the case off and that is a pain with otterbox
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
When I asked them they said there aren't current plans to release a Surface case for the N7, just an Active case.

Hi there! Did you end up getting the case? If so, how do you like it? Did you get the model with the cover? If so how bulky does the unit become with the cover attached? (Either on the front or back).
It looks like there's a recessed section on the cover (to make room for the adjustable stand), but I'm worried that it will add too much bulk to the profile of the N7.
Thanks!

Its not out yet unfortunately. I am definitely ordering this when it comes out. I have the Gumdrop case now, which is nice but it does not have the same viewing options like this one. I cant wait for this to come out.

Yeah i have been checking but its still " coming soon" i will be getting the one with the cover. Ill do a review and post pics asap.
Anyone else is welcome to do the same if they get it before me.

Suppose to be coming out later today, I just called and they said to call back in two hours. Plus they have responded to my facebook post and said blue and black 10/15. Red 10/17.
Just add this to my list of growing cases and money spent.

Ditto lol...I pulled the trigger on a Noeve case, and it was about as expensive as my treegloo, but I cancelled it on the this verge of this case being released this week.
Just ordered mine!!!!!

Just ordered mine too. I've been waiting awhile for a brand I trusted, thanks Seidio!
I think some of the other more popular case makers missed the boat on the N7.

I wish Spigen could make a Stehen series equivalent of the case they make for 7 inch Galaxy Tab. It looks so sleek. I emailed them few weeks back but they replied there is no plans for it

Nice, but I think the closest thing you can get to that at this point is the Noreve cases. Look down a few threads and you'll see it. It's expensive, but unlike a lot of other cases out there, that seems to be actual leather, shipped from France. I personally wanted to get it but the timing wasn't right and also I am getting the Seidio Active case.
Noreve cases look beautiful. I was tempted to get one too but I'm waiting on Seidio active in royal blue instead.

This looks so much better than Noreve (me thinks...) I am willing to pay 100$ (or £ if you wish I am in the UK) for a top quality case. Although I suppose that a lot of manufacturers of premium cases thinks who is going to pay for the case half the value of their tablet. That is why you see a lot of premium products for fruit tablet which costs so much it is easier turn justify paying premium for accesiries.

Correct in that assumption. However, the Noreve cases are the closest thing to that pictured case. There are a few other options to the Noreve case that can make it different and rise the cost of the case if you like lol.
I know of Vaja, makes premium cases as well but mainly for the Apple lines. The "i-volution" line was the cases that looked similar to what you posted. I used to buy those all the time for my PDA's back in the day lol.
I've had a really poor experience with SGP screen protector so I'm not touching anything they sell, sorry. Not even cases.
