If you purchased a Nook Color at Best Buy within the last 30 days, you can get a free cover.
Best Buy is offering a free cover this week for e-reader purchases.
If you purchased a Nook within the last 30 days, you also qualify for a cover. Simply bring your receipt in and they will return/re-purchase and give you your choice of cover $49.99 or less.. Online the ad states $49.99 limit...Printed ad shows $39.99 limit...Store employee says the limit is $49.99...
No need to bring in your Nook! Just the receipt!
Although I am not real impressed with the cases, they are sure worth it for free.. I went in and got mine today.
Don't miss out on yours!
I saw this and was going to get one, but it's out of stock everywhere within 100 miles of me.
its a good deal... bought mine online so i guess i have to call in to get the price match.
maybe they'll just credit me $49.99

Yes, that's true... None in stock anywhere in NJ...
Maybe ask for a raincheck. That should secure you the free case when they come back in.

I think I might just order it online... I was looking through my local store the other day, and all their stock of covers looked like they had been opened and returned, and I'm not sure if I want to play roulette with those. Nothing is in stock of course, but I'm not in a hurry anyway.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?type=category&id=pcmcat231200050012
EDIT: Anyone have an opinion on this case vs. this case?
go over to b&n.com and check 'em out.
they have better pics and descriptions there.
Damn, 4 days over.

All our covers were opened as well, except for the one I bought.
I checked out the Industriell Easel Cover and thought it was really flimsy..
I bought the regular Industriell Cover. I like it better and you can bend the cover back to prop it landscape.
Regardless, I am disappointed with them all (at BB)...They are really built very cheaply..The box and packing material is heavier than the cover itself, but for free I can't complain.
Anyone know if the Targus cases are included in the promotion?

The targus case does apply. I brought my receipt in and they had no issues with getting me the case. This one is a bit tight, but does fit with the nook color:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Targus+...354693&skuId=1465294&st=targus nook&cp=1&lp=1
But it does look much better then the B&N branded cases.
I got this case from Best Buy today, thanks for the heads up:

Very sleek and nice, nook fits great inside, just what I wanted too. I usually carry my nook in my backpack to school each day, rather than lugging my laptop around campus, others around me are always astounded when they see me using my nook as a full android tablet With this case if you put something behind it you could also stand it up as an easel in landscape!
I picked up my free case today.
Thanks for the heads up!!
Thanks for the headup on this

Hey, thanks for the tip, I just went to Best Buy and they returned my nook and repurchased with the free case... What a deal.
Thanks again.
I bought my NC and got the industriell easel case. I returned that yesterdaay and got the M-EDGE Latitude cover. It's for the nook but it fits the nc. Its snug but I like the zipper and it has a pocket where I can keep my micro sd card adapter.
Forgot to post here and thank you for this post. I bought my Nook last Friday after work, and I was planning on just going to B&N and buying it there.
Luckily I read this post while at work, so I went to Best Buy and bought the Nook there and got me a free case.

I ordered this
MoKo(TM) Slim Cover Case
and I just received a mail
"Dear buyer:
Thank you for your recent purchase of "MoKo case for Nexus 7 tablet"
from BSCstore via Amazon. And we are writing to let you know that we
will be providing a free replacement case that fully supports the
"automatic wake/sleep" function on your new Nexus 7 tablet. This is an
unannounced feature that we were not able to include in our first
batch of cases that were already shipped to you. But we will stand
behind our products and provide a fully compatible replacement within
5-7 days. You don't have to ship the current unit back and can use it
as the lay-over unit before you receive the updated version. We will
be sending you another email with details on how to obtain the
replacement units when they are ready."
Awesome.
That is very impressive. To bad I dislike the looks and the way it holds the tablet. But damn, I'll remember BSCstore / MoKo (or at least try) in the future.
Great customer service.

Yes, I bought it for just $6.99. Didn't thought they would care.
i too got this email. im very happy of this. they have very good service.
I got it too. Have to say seeing the case in person I like it better then I thought I would. However we'll see how the Nexus 7 fits in it when it comes tomorrow.
This is really awesome customer support. The case was already cheap at 6.99, but to offer a free replacement for something that's as small as this? kickass!
Same, just got my notification. Slightly disappointed, but impressed by the customer service!
I got the same email today. Now that is customer service.
I got this one for $4.99

Instead of them sending me the same one I think I'll see if I can get credit towards the Moko Slim Fit.
Yeah, they really messed up some of the orders. I bought a $12.99 case from them because it mentioned the sleep/wake function specifically. They sent me one of the $6 cases and will send another like the email said. I'm just curious what case it will be. The Amazon link now has a rotary case pictured with a Samsung tablet in it. It's nice that they let me keep the first one, but I hope the 2nd one is different beyond a magnet added to it.

I actually just bought this case as one to use until the official cases are released. Cool to see it will now come with the sleep capabilities.
Let's hope that the Asus cases come soon though.

Hmmm, be careful though, looks like they just edited the $12 case Item Title and Features section and removed the Auto Sleep/Wake description. Quite confusing at this point.
Cool, I just ordered this one on amazon I think.
I emailed them asking if I could get a credit towards the slim fit one instead. The following was their response:
Dear CaptHatch:
Actually we do plan to let you choose any style you prefer from our
whole selection of Nexus 7 cases with no additional charge. We will
email you with details on how to obtain the slim-fit case when it is
ready. We will be also be providing other choices as well.

Cool! Thanks, that answered my question.
Agreed.... They emailed me too and said that I be able to exchange it for any case that they are about to release. I ordered the cheap slim fit case, however it looks like they have a few new cases that are much more to my liking on Amazon. What great customer service. I have to admit I am shocked. They earned my respect and business for a while. :thumbup:
Additionally it looks like the new cases will not be released until the 23-25th of July 2012. This is my old case with the new arrival date:

Curious when someone receives the "slim fit" if it has speaker holes. Looks like a nice case.
Normally these kind of things are not worthy of a thread but I had a hard time finding this case so hopefully I can help with this thread.
As of today, you can not find this on ebay, amazon, or other web stores found through google search
The only known website that has this is sprint.com and bodyglovemobile.com and they are both out of stock. I saw them in stock around 11/12 on both site so it's not those "we haven't updated our website" thing. It really is out of stock.
I called 7 official sprint stores in Los Angeles and only one store has it.
If you have a hard time finding it. Do a search on yelp and call around your local official Sprint store and refer to part number CZS5478Q. Non-official store are not owned by sprint so they will mostly not carry this accessory, don't waste your time on those.
The price is $24.99 + tax, sprint store currently has a 20% on entire accessory order if you buy 2 or more accessories. If you get a $9.99 screen protector you will end up paying $27.94 + tax. Just something to think about.
This case will fit Sprint, ATNT, TMobile version of the Note II and very likely international version as well. I believe there are also T-Mobile version and ATNT version of the bodyglove however I find the sprint model most pleasing to my eye.
Last thing I want to add is that this case is very slim. Doesn't add too much thickness like generic ebay tpu cases. The protruding protection edge to the screen is only about 1mm.
photos are not from me but from another XDA member cac9478 all credit goes to him for the wonderful photos.

Nice pictures... and firearms :good:
How does the back feel in the hand? Looks like kind of a rough texture.
Back feels great. It's not as slippery as the battery door. This thing is also super slim; exactly what I wanted. Better grip and a little extra protection without added bulk. Only thing less bulky would be a skin. If you're prone to phone drops this may not provide the best protection but I'm careful with my toys so I'm not worried. Had my friend who works for sprint pick one up for me. Saved me a few bucks

feels great, I change phone and naturally the case as well.
The embedding diamond pattern is about 1/4mm for the "height".
It is not rough on the hand.
This is the best tpu case that I ever purchased.
Looks very nice. Going between this and the Blue/Black Seidio Active Case w/ Kickstand. Called all the local Sprint stores, no stock. I have a cheap $3 case on my Note 2 right now that I will keep using until I can get a hold of something better.
Here is a link on Sprint's Webpage if anyone needs it.

Does ur version (T-mobile) of the case slides in & out of the pocket easily?the material looks alike with those spigen sgp ultra neo hybrid cases..& they r easy to slide in & out of the pocket...could u please take a picture of the front side?..thanx for the info..
if any of you guys are interested, i have a bodyglove case i got from sprint store couple weeks back.
I bought a case from seidio and i am planning to return bodyglove case back to the store.
If any one is interested, i will sell it to you for the same price i got it +shipping 2.95. we can do paypal.
Hmm...I really want the case shown in the photos of the OP. I am investigating and will wait around with one of the cheap cases til it is available. It's GORGEOUS!!
Ok, just found one (the last one) in a local Sprint store. Still interested in finding this online though. My girl will want one of these for sure!!
Just wanted to say thanks for this thread. I did manage to grab the last one at my local sprint store and grabbed one and I am happy with it. Wish the edges were a little firmer but it feels nice and doesn't add any bulk. HATE paying 25 for a thin piece of plastic but i guess it is what it is.

Anyone have experience with these cases? It looks pretty solid, but states they won't have stock until December 1st. It's also in the UK, so shipping time must be considered. I'm just wondering if it's going to be available somewhere else sooner or stateside!
Kind of digging the white, but I feel like the different color retention tab being visible when looking at the device could be a bit strange.

I had one of those cases for the transformer infinity and have to say I love it! Very protective, good for flat reading, good as a media stand and the materials (in the one I had) were very good.
Negative things I would say is that my transformer one almost fit the nexus 10, so I am suspicious of people passing off old stock as new, and the fit not being optimal for the new device.
Although at that price I might give it a go anyway, as I'm in the UK

These guys are expecting stock this week. I spoke to them on the phone and they are new, just for the Nexus 10 (which is why they don't have them in yet.) No carbon finish, though, which the Nexus 7 cases have: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LuvTab-Go...d_Folios&var=580155521327&hash=item416e077518
That looks good, not too thick by the look of it. That is one of my main gripes with a lot of cases i see out there, take a lovely sleek tablet, and then wrap it in a thick bulky case. I can understand it if you are trying to protect your device, but for me, a case is for no other reason than stopping accidental scratches to the screen and to allow it to stand up. There shouldn't be a need for anything over the top.
The only thing i don't really like about that case is the grippers that hold onto the tablet. I would much rather a case with some alternative sleeker method of holding it, it just looks, i on't know, industrial?
found this Bear Motion $3.99 + shipping $4.49, looks similar: http://www.amazon.com/Bear-Motion-P...qid=1353350716&sr=1-48&keywords=nexus+10+case.
i went for one, for that price it's worth a shot.
Please post some pictures when you receive them, I hate these marketing photos, they are never accurate.

Thanks in advance!
Sweet, I shall order this too!
Anyone worrying about the magnetic effect of the case? I've read reviews on LuvTab® for Nexus 7
amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B008FXSC9U/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
Some were complaining about the bad magnet, which may damage the compass of the tablet. I am looking something without magnet. Of course I can buy a silicon case or those sleeves. But I want something that can create a stand. And it looks like everything that can create a stand is with magnet.
Seems like this has been delayed for a week or so.
I emailed the seller and he said the delay was only for new order not existing ones and that i should expect it next week
Hi,
Yes, the first set of orders we received will be dispatched as normal. Any new orders will dispatched after 8th Dec
1st December is actually a Saturday so it will be sent after that. Expect to receive the case next week. It will be sent 1st class. Hopefully it doesnt take too long to reach you due to the xmas rush.
Kind regards,

My case was dispatched today since i live in the UK i should get it in a day or two so ill post a video review when i do here
I bought mine from eBay. It finally shipped today.
Mine has been dispatched today too. Will probably arrive in 7 weeks given the state of the postal service!
I've just got my LuvTab case and I have to say I'm not impressed, in design its similar to one I had with the tf700, but the finish on the outside, whilst described as leather, is like a mock carbon fiber plastic finish, is pretty nasty if you ask me.
Will be arranging for a return, as I think there will be better quality options out soon
Just received mine this morning, I'm pleased with it it was exactly what I was expecting. Here is my YouTube video of the case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLVukRxkBSY&list=UUIxVHXtT7nfqrYA51b0Xuxw&index=1&feature=plcp

I can highly recommend the alternative version shown here ("Black I"):
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00AFAZ1GS/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=electronics
Looks good, fits well and a bargain at the current £12.99 price.
im trying to get a case for my nexus 10 but wont cases like these where u need to constantly snap off the bottom part of the case to fold eventually break/scratch the device?
This cases are simple & get the job done, they have a few colors/options on Amazon, but won't ship 1-3 weeks, spoke with their support and they told me they are already shipping. If you use code BUY2GONE you get 3 cases for the price of 2
This comes in 11 colors ($12.90)
This comes in 5 colors ($5.90)
This comes in 8 colors ($5.90, these are normally ~$12...jump on the deal)
TONS of more designs for UK users, I'm a little jealous of the store, they start at £10.00, there's a couple on the site
They have 2 other designs on their website, but not Amazon. I'm sure they are coming soon!
NOTE: I am not affiliated with them, I just like their cases. I've used them on almost ALL my devices.

I love the bugdroid
FYI the Amazon.co.uk store has way more choices for Cruzerlite M8 TPU designs:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IZ737BE/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=electronics
/sigh I love the design of the bugdroid, but I need a kickstand. And for the price, the Spi-Force looks like a winner.
Just ordered a bugdroid this morning! Loved their cases in the past.

Aaaaand the pretty cases are now available to US shoppers via the Cruzerlite main website.
just ordered the bugdroid from amazon....will have to check out these others too. One thing I love about cruzerlite, their cases just get better and better with each rls.
My Bugdroid came today and it's going back. It was advertised as having button protection and it simply has cut outs. Not sure what type of "button protection that is but not as advertised.
From the Amazon description "Precise cutouts provide easy access to all ports while buttons have been covered for protection from daily use."
Looks like a cool case but I must have button protection.

Good luck with the return dude. Last time (first and last) I dealt with them I went back and forth for 6 weeks over a return just to be told in the end it was "now too long past the sale date" - yet I emailed them first the day I got the cases.

Good luck with the return dude. Last time (first and last) I dealt with them I went back and forth for 6 weeks over a return just to be told in the end it was "now too long past the sale date" - yet I emailed them first the day I got the cases.

@Amazon handles returns almost instantly, that's why I deal with them!
My M8 sent this...not me

My Bugdroid came today and it's going back. It was advertised as having button protection and it simply has cut outs. Not sure what type of "button protection that is but not as advertised.
From the Amazon description "Precise cutouts provide easy access to all ports while buttons have been covered for protection from daily use."
Looks like a cool case but I must have button protection.

Sorry to hear of your issues but I deal with Amazon partly due to their return process. I buy a lot of things and return many items to them all the time. Never had one issue. In this case, the description on their site is inaccruate. They never asked any questions and sent me a free return shipping label. They will even have UPS pick it up from me but my wife is always out shopping so I just have her drop it off.
Now, when dealing with merchants that are not Amazon fullfilled, that can be a different story. I typically avoid ordering items not fulfilled by Amazon.

Ya I do now too, learned my lesson. Thankfully it was a cheap one. I ended up finding this case on Amazon for $2.95 while the 2 colored options were $15. Next day they raised the price though. Nice case, comes with a belt clip/holster - even the clip on the holster folds backwards and words as a kickstand, pretty cool imo. (Case has a kickstand too, I came from using Evo's with em built it)

I also use their case for my Google Nexus 7, not a complaint to be had about either
I finally broke down and went with the Black UAG.
I really like the case I have now but know it offers very little protection. I tend to drop my phone a few times. If you want minimal protection this case might work. If the back were totally clear, I'd like it more. It is a soft TPU case but fits very well and has button protection.

If only the BugDroid had button protection, I may have kept it but again, I think I need more protection than the thin TPU cases provide.
I used a buy 2 get one coupon code so I have 3 coming for me for when my M8 comes in.

Bought a folio case on eBay , I think it might a copy. Packaging looked legit, but after comparing it with some genuine ones. The wording on the package is slightly different instead of just having the word "Case" and "Nexus 5x" on the front it says Folio. The real issue are the buttons , they have no feedback what so ever, they are not raised like on the original case and trying to wake up the phone or raise the volume takes multiple tries. I also noticed that the font on the fake case is more bold versus a sharper looking font on the original.
Buyer be aware
Here are some pictures
First picture is of a Tudia merge case just for reference.

It is a nice case I might have just got a defective one not sure. Contacted seller to see if I can get a replacement

That sucks It's definitely a fake. I had to buy mine of Amazon...they still have a few legit grey ones left for the same price as there were at on the Google Store ($35). Unfortunately Google dropped them the very day they dropped the Nexus line and announce the Pixel. I have SCOURED the internet looking for original ones and the grey ones on Amazon are it! Every single thing on eBay (and every other place) are really inexpensive (read:cheap) knockoffs from China in colors that Google never sold lol. Even Adopted doesn't sell them anymore. Also, be careful on Amazon...their some confusion regarding exactly which case it is. The one you have here is not the folio, just the regular one, and people selling on Amazon have mixed it up too.
Anyway, I'm sorry to see people get burned like that. Just a suggestion...I would demand my money back instead of a repalcement if possible, but of course do what you want. Best of luck!
"Folio" is a known N5X case maker. They do copy the original one. Their price is usually around 7-15usd. If you pay for it more than that, then the seller scammed you.
I have some OEM Adopted cases that I have for sale. I have 4 non-folio light grey ones, and 3 folio dark grey ones.
I just received this case from eBay two days ago, it's fine. Just press a little harder on the buttons.
EDIT: What were you expecting from a 5$ item on eBay?
I purchased a knock-off case from Ebay myself (was maybe $5?) and I'm pretty happy with what I got. Its certainly not as nice as the original, but for $5, its really hard to complain.
The buttons were stiff at first, but have loosened up over time.
yupp my brother bought a case from ebay. and I did from google. i see the difference in build quality, the cloth on back is cheap. case openings are not very precise.(but workable) etc.
Biggest giveaway is the camera opening: not really angled/curved like the original. otherwise the fabric they use is just straight-up velour or whatever haha. Probably has a nicer feel than the somewhat confusing material that the official cases use. I swore I saw on on eBay just a few minutes ago that looked like it was suede; I'd definitely deal with a knockoff case for that material haha
Does anyone maybe know where to find original one if you're outside of US?
Found couple of them on eBay for around 15$ and they seem legit, but the shipping costs exceed the price twice (33$ or so, shipped from US to Croatia).
I cannot find them on Amazon though (neither com, co.uk or de). Any help would be appreciated. I'm interested in regular one, not the one with screen cover.

I bought the folio under the following link. The delivery took about 2 weeks but it is definitely original Google

Hi. Is it really the original one? It doesn't look so, judging from the price and the contents of this Chinese ebay reseller
