All the cases look like they won't hold the device well, they all look not very well made and very bulky
found this if anyone is looking for a lower profile fit case that covers the back
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008GFHP5O/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
I bought that and a tablet stand to prop it up when i need.
Yeah, I haven't seen any cases worth buying. The only one I like is the official Google case, but it lacks a kickstand.
Not impressed, if I get one of the current selection, it would be a compromise and only if it's dirt cheap for the meantime..
So far there is only 1 case that I would pull the trigger on. I am having reservations because there have been concerns over the manufactorer's costumer service and their dealays/lack of updates regarding shipping but if nothing similiar comes out soon then I will gamble on it and pull the trigger.
I hate that the official case is not available at the launch of the device, especially when you have so many people reporting that they've already scratched their screens. There isn't even an ETA.
I agree, don't like any of the cases...i spent many hours looking through the forums and amazon and don't like any of them even the official one. I ended up ordering this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008GFHO6Y/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 not sure if I'll be happy with it, assuming it's temporary until something better and slimmer comes along. I was going to order a moko case but the right side of the nexus seems exposed when closed and I didn't want to wait until the 25th: http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Slim-fit...=UTF8&colid=SSJ5KLBELNZ0&coliid=ICUJNDX8PNE5B
What about these?

Didn't like much of the cases either. Liked Biz-E-Bee's cases with the Android mascot on them but it lacked a stand, so I bought this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008GSMRAY until something better comes along.

yes i also hate all the current cases i've seen. I'll probably end with a leather sleeve, my wife wants something just like her nook, can't even find something like that (basically snaps in and looks like a book (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/turquoise-quote-cover/23751364?ean=9780594296362).
I don't want elastic bands to hold it in, I dont want something too bulky, and don't want to have to unclip it to stand it up
I would like it to have some sort of standing property and smart cover feature, is that soo hard, slim profile?
The treegloo ones are nice, a little bulky for me, but my wife would probably like it, but i'm not paying $80 for a case (https://www.treegloo.com/)
Yup, haven't seen a single one i've liked besides the official case.
not a fan of any case yet either,
i had a yoomee neoprene case that i got for $3.50 shipped from amazon (prime), unfortunately they no longer offer prime shipping on that item without more in your cart, so that's doing the part for now...it'll do until a better one pops up with wake/sleep at a decent price
The Blurex case here is very nice. Blurex makes amazing cases in my opinion. So if this is your type of case you needn't worry about the quality.
I'm holding out for an Apple smart cover type thing, though it doesn't have the metal back or sides for the magnets to work.
I don't really feel like the back needs to be covered, I just want the screen covered and I want it to function as a stand as well.

Same here, if anything u can add the magnet yourself
Me too, I want a nice hard backed "snap on" type cover with a smart front cover which also acts like a stand like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Swees-Ultra...X9DG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1342463463&sr=8-3 which my housemate has for his iPda, just got a simple slip cover for it for now!

Same here. All those faux-leather cases are bulky and lack any style.
I really want something simple like the apple smart cover, which doubles as a stand.
I might just wait for a Dodocase.

Yeah, I want something that looks like a book. The style of your wifes nook case is nice but with different coloring and a white elastic band, it woudl be perfect. I want the treegloo case except Id prefer if the frame wasn't made out of wood but there's nothing else like it on the market for the N7 and the base price just went down $5. I pretty much want a FieldFolio case (fieldfolio.com) but for the N7.
Same. Holding out for better case

Here's an awesome Belkin case I posted about in another thread. Picked it up this morning from Fry's Electronics. It's gorgeous and holds my tablet perfectly, even if it's made for the Galaxy Tab 7".

This. I've been looking for days for a slim-profile, rotating case. I've found nothing, not even among the Kindle Fire cases, that would fit that criteria and the Nexus 7. Even if I wanted to compromise and get an interim case, most decent cases start at $30 - far too much for such a case.

Looking for a really slim case that doesn't add bulk. The iPad's smart cover comes to mind but anything similar quality wise out there for the N7?
nothing that i have seen. and i agree with you, i would ideally like to see a TPU smart cover that would have a secure cover (simple latch or magnetic) ... as opposed to the official case that wont do much good in a tumbling fall.
How about this one? http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Portfolio-Automatically-Manufacturer-Warranty/dp/B008NMCPTQ
I'd be interested in a case that makes the Nexus 7.. look a bit more hardcore
An example is this iPad case:

Saw that but sadly that's not available in canada. Also I'm leaving the country for a few weeks near the end of August and I'd like to have a case by then.
I guess a leather case would do as long as it's not too huge and bulky. If it has the smart cover in it as well that's a plus.
I'm considering putting a Gelaskin on the back of a Poetic Slimline case. I know it sort of defeats the purpose but I really like some of their art. Would this work? I'm thinking a skin that for the Nexus 7 would be too small. If anyone has any suggestions or alternatives for finding similar decals, let me know. Also, can you put the front part of the skin over an Armorsuit MilitaryShield? I know this is trying to have your cake and eat it too.
I don't have a Poetic Slimline in hand, but does it have a heavy texture like the pictures? The Gelaskins go on better on a smoother surface.
It may be small for the back, but if you center the decal properly, it should still work out (proportionally the same). I personally like the Gelaskins because they're easy to put down (no bubbling) and are very durable for a decal.
In regards to the Armorsuit MilitaryShield, if you're going with a the decal that surrounds the screen, I'd imagine it would be like putting a sticker on another sticker. Just be really careful with alignment.
Heya,
I just recently got my N10 - yesterday in fact - and before I take it out, I need to get a case. Leather ones seems to be the fad. I need one with a stand so I can display the N10 in my bedroom (hur hur). In future, I may also buy a bluetooth keyboard for it, but as of now, I don't see any use for one - I don't use the N10 for a load of typing.
Since there are a million different cases out there, which one is most popular and why? Thanks!
Remember, an awesome stand is required!
The moko slim case looks to be very popular, although with it's flaws such as the metal bezel thing scratching the glass, or no pogo cutout *don't know if this has been rectified on newer revisions)
The poetic slimline has some issues, and a lot of people have said they don't like it, but at the same time a lot of people myself included have found no issue with it whatsoever other than for making the power and volume buttons a little hard to use, something that the moko caters for, although something that can be easily remedied with a stanley knife or whatnot.
As to a bluetooth keyboard, unless you are typing long essays which it doesn't sound like you are, then i myself can use the onscreen keyboard two handed in much the same way i'd use a normal small bluetooth keyboard, that is to say in a cramped fashion, and type at a fairly good pace without much issue at all.

Thanks. I'll take a deep look at these two cases.
You're right. I'll give the N10 a few more weeks till I decide if I really need an external keyboard or not.
Till then, more suggestions are welcome!
Poetic Hardback (not the same as the slimline) here, love it, and dirt cheap

I originally purchased the i-Blason slim folio, which is nearly identical to the Moko in design. It's main weakness is a lack of a pogo cutout. It has a few other niggling issues (stylus loop right on top of the vol rocker, doesn't quite fold open flat to tablet back, came from factory with awful petrochemical smell) but otherwise has been great. The smell went away after a few days of airing out and it was perfectly fitted to the tablet with none of the issues I'd seen mentioned in the Poetic threads. The tablet is held securely in book mode, but the bottom is still easy to release for use in the stand configuration.
When I purchased a pogo charging cable, I decided to buy the Moko slim as it looked just like the i-Blason, was cheap ($9.99) and had a pogo cutout. It is about the same (cheaper feeling cover material) , but the closing clasp on the Moko is a bit of a deal breaker for me as it requires much more force to get it in place against the tablet top. So, I'm still using the i-Blason until I figure out a better plan. That plan may involve cutting a pogo port in the i-Blason if the Moko can't be coerced into a less difficult clasp arrangement with some pliers.

I just picked up the Moko case from Amazon and received it. Other than the latch at the top being a little stiff initially, it seems to be operating better now after a day of use, it's not anything that would scratch the unit though I don't think. I would recommend it as it has a tight and secure fit/feel to it overall. The pogo charger works with the case, the cutout is there now, if it was missing before it's not now. Worth $12.99 that's for sure.
I got the Fintie 360 rotating case and love it. Seems a couple people have had little issues but mine is flawless and I love it's versatility
I'm rocking the Poetic Durabook and I love it.

Poetic Revolution Case
Personally I bought the Poetic Revolution case. Its the closest thing to a otterbox- like case and it runs about 35 USD. has 2 stands built in, one for the picture frame view for landscape and and portrait and 2 for a low lying, upward facing stand. (almost like a keyboard). I think this is the only brand that i have seen that has built a durable case such as this. Otterbox and Gummdrop have yet to do it.
As a side note this case DOES NOT obscure the cameras, speakers or microphones.
Heres a link to amozon were I purchased it and recieved it internationally in less than 5 business days.

I got the poetic keybook figured if I'm going to get a case why not get one that has a keyboardbas well
Hi! Upgrading from the tab s4 to the s8. Guess I'm not the only one! What are prior using for cases? Anything that ISNT on Amazon? It seems like it's the same 3 or 4 cases rebranded? Amazon looks more and more like FBA version of Alibaba. I'm sick of it...
Looking for something low profile that protects well and holds the pen. Don't need a keyboard. Something tactically playing would be nice. I don't really care for the smooth (cheap) tpu feel. I also don't care for the behemoths with all the **** on the back unless it's really low profile.
Any ideas or suggestions?
I'm using the Ultra's keyboard cover, but I was very tempted to get the - I believe it's the Spigen. They had several different cases, including a very tough one. Ideally, I'd like to combine both the Samsung keyboard cover and the Spigen. If I wasn't using the Samsung one, I would be very tempted.
Again, this was months ago, so it's possible it was a different brand, but I don't think so. There should be another thread or two in this section about cases, and that's probably where we were discussing their options, but just check on their site, and you should find them to take a look.
Good luck!
Inhave the Urban Armour Gear for ultra . I love it except the flip thing behind the stand it doesn't close tight anymore

I have the same case and the same complaint. Its a bit bulky, I would like to find a thinner case that locks in the s-pen on the back.
