Ebay Case review

I just received this case from Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310278043272&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Price was $7.59 with free shipping. Shipped the same day I ordered it.
A7 fits in it, although there's not much room. Corners of the A7 protrude slightly.
But, I am pretty happy with it, especially for the price.
You can open it up and stick the flap in the other side to hold it at an angle if you'd like.
Power button, charging port and headphone jack are accessible. You would have to slide one of the elastic bands over to access the USB and HDMI ports, but it's no big deal.
The way I have it in the case right now, you have to open it to charge it. But, you could flip the A7 if you'd prefer access to the port when closed.
I like the soft leather (?) interior. I think it will prevent any scratches on the screen, which is why I bought a case.

Thanks man. I figure it's worth the $8.

Its an okay case however did you know that some of the Nook Color Cases will work with the Elocity. The devices are the same size with the exception of the Elocity being thicker. I have found several cases at Barnes & Noble that work with the Elocity.

I went to check out some Nook/Nook Color covers tonight but found that none of them were quite right for me. Most didn't fit or hold the A7 in place. The few that almost worked were too short, I don't mind if a little bit of the device shows but too much was exposed.
I just ordered one of these and can't wait to get it. Thanks for the images, they really helped me make my decision.

Thanks from me too I ordered one as well. I figure 7 bucks shipped isn't too bad a risk.

Confirming that the nook color zipper case is the only one that works with th A7. The A7 fits into the book type cases but it does not clamp in tightly and can easily fall out. I picked up the neoptene zipper one from Barnes and Noble and it has a very nice fit. Not loose and moving around at all. $30 bucks though.

Is that a sleeve or a case Cadiken?

Zipper sleve if you will. You cannot use the A7while it is in there.

Received my case from ebay, thanks!

Same here and the wife really likes it. I think the OP should get a commission!

Thanks OP - the a7 is such a wacky shape - good that you found anything that comes close!

Possible cases?
Hey guys,
I'm currently deployed in Iraq. I just bought the A7 and am awaiting its arrival any day now. I very very excited. I obviously dont have access to Barnes & Noble so I was wondering since most of you have checked out the cases there if any of you came across these two cases for the nook color? Do you think they might fit the A7? It wont let me post outside links until I have posted 8 times. But both cases can be found on Amazon. Thanks in advance!

case
I have the e-bay case, I would recommend it. It allows you to open and close, as well prop up to watch movies
It won't block dust, but it will protect the front. I have a belkin kindle 2g sleeve that is neoprene that does slide over the entire ensemble if you are looking for dust protection (though there is a bit of extra room).

Case
Yeah I tried ordering it from ebay but the seller wont send it to my deployed location. My most reliable sources are Amazon being the primary and tigerdirect/newegg.com

I ordered and received the case from ebay mentioned by JAZZBONE at the beginnging of this thread. I like it, it works well at protecting the screen and tucking the closure strap in while in the open position does indeed make for a great stand. I inserted my A7 so the charging port can be accessed while closed. When I am on the road I flip it so the earphone port can be accessed while closed. It would be nice if it were padded. I am anxious to see the case eLocity will be selling.

Is everyone who bought this case still happy with it?

I bought it and I like it. It protects the screen. It doesn't interfere with the micro sized micro card reader I keep in the USB slot. The elastic on the other end of the case holds down the door that was covering the USB and HDMI slots.
I also have a neoprene case on the way from Amazon. Hopefully the A7 and the eBay case will fit inside it to keep dust out and keep the tablet safer in my purse.

I also ordered a neoprene case from Amazon,it said it was for the a7 and came with a screen saver,if its the same one I ordered you will have plenty of room with some to spare.

I ordered too! I already scratched the front of my elocity so I'm sure this will provide some protection.

Nook case and Belkin stand that works

After hunting around for 2 weeks for something that looks good and works as a stand and cover here is what i found
The stand came from the Apple IPad section but works great with the Elocity A7. The cover is a Nook magnetic cover that gives you access to all ports.
Please excuse the messy desk and phone pictures!
I used the 3M sticky pads on the back to hold it to the Nook Case.

Nice work. Looks good! I have a elocity case from case kings on the way. Ill update everyone on that!

eLocity case
I am wonder were to buy the case for my A7. I can't seem to find one here in town.

eLocity case
I am wondering were you bought yours at? I can't seem to find it.

Case from Amazon.com
I purchased a leather case from amazon.com that does not work well at al. It comes up as a compatible case but the flaps to hold it in on one side to not completely cover it.
its called Leather Case with Pockets for eBook eReaders
sucks!

I bought the case from Best Buy and the Stand from Frys

Has anyone heard if Elocity /Steam is going to sell any accessory for there products??

[Q] Any Consensus on cases

I want to start carrying my A7 to work with me everyday, but I hesitate until I get a case. I'd like a case like the one shown for the nook...one that cover the A7, but gives access to the ports and maybe can function as a stand...what is everyone finding, and what seems to work for a cover?

I love mine.
It's reviewed here under Ebay Case review.

Casecrown for A7
I received my crowncase case today. Fits well, is cheap and does the job.

I went to Best Buy with my a7 and tried every case they had - and they had a lot. i wanted a case like some made for the nook where the device is inside the case but you can open the flap on the front to access the screen. No dice. I tried a about 12 different e-reader and tablet cases but none of them worked that well. I needed something to protect my tablet so i went with a $20 red neoprene case made by Rocketfish. It fits perfectly and i do like it, but I still have to take it out of the case to use it. That's the only downside to it.

I have to agree with the assessment of the Casecrown A7 case. I bought mine through Amazon and got it with no issues. I do find it a wee bit tight but am hoping that it loosens up a bit if I keep the A7 in it overnight, etc. It's a case, it protects (mostly), and it's cheap. I think that's about as good an endorsement as we'll get.

I have the case off of ebay that is listed in another thread, and it works great. Access to al ports, and fits well too. For 8 bucks, you can't beat it.

Elocity stated that they have finished the design for a nice leather case for the A7. The last I heard was that it should appear for sale on there site soon. That's the one I'm waiting for.

Picked up a Body Glove by Fellowes at Walmart $14.95

Roocase Superbubble
Roocase Superbubble
Neoprene half-zip case with front pocket, almost identical to the Body Glove case they sell at Wal-Mart, the little bubbles absorb shock if you drop it. Just received it and the A7 fits perfectly!
BTW got mine at amazon.com for $20 with shipping

Case
Which bublle case did you get. There is a bunch listed. One for 6" e-reader and 1 for Galaxy tablet, etc.
Thanks,
Jim

Ebay case
I ordered the eBay folding cover described here...it is cheap, not very well made, and does not hold the A7 well at all...it does not even close properly because the computer is too big...it only cost 7.95, but is not even worth that

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I need a case.

A7 Case
I have not seen any cases for A7 that allow use while inside case. what I bought was a "GRIFFIN JUMPER" for eReaders. Found at walmart around $14. Its more like a envelop with ample padding top and bottom and fuzzy inside and heavy stiched edges. Its a pretty tight fit but it does completely cover and protect.

I use a Belkin 7" tablet sleeve. Its a tight fit but does the job.

Received my CaseCrown black faux suade zipper case today. Exactly what I was looking for.
Fit is a little snug when trying to zip it shut, but I think it will stretch slightly over time.

[Q] Cheap Neoprene Case for Nook Color

I've been shopping around for a cheap case solution for the Nook Color and I came across this
The dimensions are 8.3x6 in
The nook color is 8.1x5 in (right?)
Do you think the 0.2 in of give on the top would be enough for it to fit? My wife has this same case in a different size for her netbook and she loves it. It's very well-made considering the price, so if I know the NC will fit I'd buy it immediately.
Anyone own this or seen it or have an opinion? I'm just looking for something functional and cheap. That's it.

Those cheapo neoprene cases have plenty of give. Do remember they were meant for a thicker device so if the dimensionsof the case is a little smaller it should be fine for a thinner device.
My 11.6" dmz1 fits well in the 10" netbook version of this and is a nice tight stretch fit.

Double post. Sorry.

That's good to know. I like that it can enclose the device completely or, like my wife does, you can just slip it in without folding over the top. That's perfect for tossing it in my backpack.
Anyone else have experience with this or any other cheap neoprene case?

Nook color is 8.1" height. Case should fit fine.
You might have a problem with staining though. I see that the neoprene cases that Barnes Noble sells has people numerous complaining about the dye transfering to the Nook. Probably not much of a problem with the color Nook as it is black/grey as opposed to the regular Nook's off white color. Cheap to try out though.

I got this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130466898278
It's quite snug and for a simple way to protect the Color Nook it works fine.
It takes a slight effort to get on because it is so snug.

I think the one you got from ebay is the same as the one I'm looking at but more expensive. Glad to know it works for you!

Going to get one myself, thanks

I'm in for one of these off ebay. It'll probably take 2-3 weeks since it's coming from China but I can be patient for $5

I have that exact one you linked. It fits very snug with the silicone sleeve. The neoprene smell is really strong the first few weeks. The fold-over style opening does tend to get a little stretched out after a while, but it's still tight so that the NC is never in any danger of falling out. All in all, it's a good sleeve for the money.

I just got mine and without any type of silicone case around the NC, there is plenty of room in this neoprene sleeve. There actually may be a little too much room. But it does do a nice job of protecting my NC when I carry it around.

I got a similar case the week I got my NC which I purchased just after launch. It has done the job well and cheaply for me with no color transfer.

this one fits like a glove! amazing! and only paid $5.99

I have that same one, from a different seller and in a different color. It's great. I have absolutely no complaints!

I had a case for my Cruz and didn't like it, too clingy it got dirty quick

sleeve/ soft cases

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.
http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VersaSle...d=1354034427&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+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:

If anyone lives in the UK, I just bought a laptop neoprene case from pound land for £1 while I wait for my Poetic Slimline case to arrive from amazon. It may not be a perfect fit, but it definitely gets the job done.

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.

That is a really nice looking sleeve. Quite pricey but could be tempted to pick one up when my nexus 10 arrives

Ordered this one
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.
