I actually have one of those on my Transformer. I like it a lot. Only complaint is it covers part of the back camera.

When are the Asus ones coming out?

i'm considering this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008GFVF3M/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=alohever-20 shipping to canada is almost as much as the case though, so I might just wait and see what else comes out

just bought this one today http://www.ebay.ca/itm/271011086203 hasn't arrived yet, but it looks pretty good
it also says "magnetic sleep cover" so it's a smart case for ~25$ shipped to Canada

I was looking at the red version of the case, but I did not see any openings for the speaker.

I just dont like the leather for one and the corners arent completely covered. That's probably the most important part to cover are the corners. I do like the stand though been looking for one with a stand. I just ordered a carrying case for it until a nice cover comes out. I usually have a death grip on my device lol

The same case is $11, shipping included (including to Canada), on eBay.

Does someone have a link for the official ASUS case? I know they're not on sale yet but I just want to check it out.

Now that it's been awhile anybody have a smart cover case they love?
Looking the Nexus 7 official case does not have a magnet in it so no smart cover features? WTH lol
I want to buy a case but unsure what to buy.

I don't have it yet but I just ordered this. I've had Poetic cases in the past and they're solid.

Don't trust that site at all. I have order a fee things from them in then past just to have my stuff canceled because they ran out. Not delayed. CANCELED!

That's funny. I sent of a few emails the other day to the major case makers because I'd like to know if they're going to make cases for this tank of a phone. Haha. Yesterday I was downtown and, here in Spain to say hello you give the person a kiss on each cheek, the person who I now hate accidentally knocked my phone down on the floor. I am so glad I bought a cheap case off the net before I even got the phone. It saved my phone. Don't ever go comando with your phone! Haha. This 3 dollar tpu case saved my phone xD. I hope seidio or case mate make their dual layer cases soon. Hehe.

Hmm, what's great is these companies are telling people different crap. Where, if you go to say AT&T's site they are selling case mate and otterbox cases for the Note 2. I've contacted Otterbox and Case-Mate, both companies told me they'd have official releases mid nov/early dec.

What i dont get is what is a man to do with a phone this size? Carry it in my hand all day! Def not going into my pocket making me walk strange. Would never buy a leather belt case that make it look like a 1990 fanny pack. I need a plastic holster!

Maybe you should have thought that through. I got a snap back case with a flip cover for $10 off ebay. Perfectly fine with this. I have searched and found thousands of cases either on amazon or ebay. There is even a thread named master assesories. Tons of info there

Need Heavy Duty Protective Case

Hey guys, does anyone know of a heavy duty case that's available for the Nexus 10? Sort of like Gumdrop's Nexus 7 case, or an Otterbox case.
Something that could withstand or at least give the tablet a better chance of surviving if dropped by a child (repeatedly).
I was really hoping that Gumdrop or Otterbox would release something by now, but I've already been waiting for a month or so and I can't bare to leave the tablet at home all the time anymore.
Many thanks and Happy Holidays.

bump?

...anyone?

Seidio said they are making a decision on the Nexus 10 at the moment. I would choose that over a Gumdrop any day. I have one on my Nexus 7. So any one that wants one I suggest you contact Seidio so they know there is plenty of interest.

Hey, thanks for the info! Their cases look great, I went on the website but can't tell whether or not there's a protective layer over the screen, do you know? That's what I'm really after, like how the Otterbox's have.
Thanks again.

No there isn't on the Nexus 7 cases sorry. Gumdrop do a protective layer over the screen though.

You sir, are the man...exactly what I was looking for :good:

I'm curious how this (or any other really) would work with the NFC function.

Well I just ordered it so I'll let you know when I get it. I also ordered a smart cover also. Heck it was only 0.01$ plus 498 shipping.

I'm holding out for the Otter Box. I had it on my XOOM and it paid for itself over the years because I'm kind of a klutz.

I'm holding out for otterbox too. But I did email and tweet Seidio saying whomever gets it out first gets my money.

Looks fairly sturdy indeed. Looks pretty cool too (imo) I may buy this case... at some point (a little bit too pricey for my tastes to be an impulse buy )

Haha well it's allot cheaper then an otter box will be. I asked them about it they still say they have no plans. :'(

Seidio said they are still deciding whether there is enough demand to the 'active case' for the Nexus 10 like they did for the Nexus 7. Fingers crossed that they do, they are way better than Otterbox. They said the more people who contact them & ask the more likely it is that they'll do it.

Active with cover.

Yeah. the Otter Box people always say that when people ask about new device support. They said the same thing about the XOOM, and lo and behold we got a XOOM box, which has been awesome, BTW.

Pure laziness from case makers...

Anybody else notice the lazy design choices case makers are making?
Like this one -> Case-Mate OLO
And this -> Incipio DualPro
They destroy the look with the back of it where the camera/buttons are. Like they just cut a block out and call it a day.

Then don't buy it...

35 for a case mate or 8 for a case off amazon that's not lazy. I'll take amazon.

Ugh - no kidding! The $5 generic TPU case I got on ebay looks better designed than these!

While you may not like the look of those cases. I can attest that the CaseMate does actually protect the phone. My GNex slipped out of my hands atop an 8 foot ladder. It bounced on a step half way down. And no damage ! Try that with one of those $5 cases.
On another note, I'm still waiting for the Spigen Slim Armor case to come out for my Verizon G2.

It would be nice if Otter Box would make a Defender Series Case for the G2. I prefer protection w/holster.

I have the ballistics case . I think it looks great. A little thick, but I know the phones protected
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app

If you guys only knew how much these cases actually cost to make, you would throw up. I know, and it's simply ridiculous.
I won't go into why or how I know, but cases that are selling for $15-30 cost about $0.50-2 max to make. The price to profit margin ratio is even more than clothing which is pretty hard to do lol.
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda premium

What confounds me is how ugly the back covers (the ones with covered buttons) look, with the exception of the ballistics case.
To me the covered button is a must to space out the distance (through indentation) between the lens and the buttons for my fingers. The Case-mate could be nice but just look at the way the lens opening is designed. Pleah.

I order this case

Has anyone tried the Poetic invictus

It looks pretty good, but I've had poetic bumpers for my nexus 4 that would fall apart every couple weeks. Has anyone tried it on the Verizon model? Poetic says it doesn't fit, but they could just be talking about the buttons being smaller.
Sent from my LG-VS980 using XDA Premium HD app

I have that case in black and it's ok for the price (paid $6 for it in the UK). It's very thick by my standards and will add extra 2mm to the phone but it feels very solid and snug so I am less worried now about dropping the phone. It scratches quite easily although I'm not that bothered by it. The stand at the back is nice for when you need it but I'm not sure the extra thickness to add that stand is justified by its usefulness. It's a keeper for now given the price.
Can't comment on the Verizon model as I'm in the UK...

I'm curious about this case as well. They are releasing a Verizon version on November 15th and I'm thinking about giving it a shot.
I currently have a Diztronic, which is fine, but I'd like to know what else is out there.

I posted a small review of it on here. Don't know how to link it.

Ummm.... I'm not so sure about that. I emailed them on Friday asking if they were going to make Invictus for Verizon, and got this response:
Hi M******,
Currently, we have no plans to release an Invictus case for the LG G2, Verizon version. Thank you for your interest in Poetic Cases.

Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app

I have the white case and I agree with others the case feels cheap. Its the high gloss plastic they used. The stand also, is not very useful. I ordered an incipio to see if it looks any better.

Terrible case. Looks nice, but stand is useless. You have to press it back and hold it down to get it back to being flat and flushed with the case...this really is not going to protect anything.
