Would some enterprising equipment maker PLEASE fabricate either a replacement battery door or a case that has a kickstand incorporated into it???
After being spoiled on my Evo with it integrated, I just do not understand why it doesn't exist for the Streak. The Streak begs for it even more than the Evo would otherwise!
I think every case with a belt clip should double as a kickstand in the mechanism. It is a win-win! I wish I had the capabilities to fab my own stuff sometimes!
Ok, I feel better now...

The Otterbox defender comes with a belt clip that doubles as a kickstand. Very handy, you can adjust the angle. Of course, it is quite big, however it offers great protection. I dropped the Streak several times already, not a scratch.

I went to the office supply store (Staples here in the USA) and got a couple of cheap business card stands made of clear plastic. They work great as stands!
The Otterbox Defender is a case that has a kickstand. There is a review of all of the Otterbox cases a few threads up with pictures included.

Have the same trouble. I would like to use the full five inches of my streak for my mobile office work and already got a nice bluetooth keyboard, which works quite well. The efforts to find a suitable case solution are greater though. After some research I found two other ones aside from the Otterbox Defender already mentioned in this thread.
First one is the original wallet case sold by dell. As new member I cannot post the link. Pro in my opinion is the still sleek design and build in kickstand, but reviews criticise poor quality and operability despite the high price.
Second one I like most is the solution from Noreve selling a high quality leather case. Again in comparison to the Defender the design is slim and fits easily into a pocket. But a problem with all these fancy looking alternatives seems to be the protection. I already dropped my streak a while ago carrying it in a leather case. It hit the ground with its edge and got some deep abrasions, because the case did not provide enough protection. I hope some companies out there care about customer feedback and design a nice case, which allows save transport. My favourite would be the commuter case with built in kickstand.

i use my Logitech Mx revolution stand for it
and i have found this nice little thingy which fits nicely with my droidpiss bootanimation
That's what I use (business card stand). It was $4.99. I put it upside down landscape and the orientation changes, Then charger from the top. Poor man's desktop cradle.

you could always jimmy it and make a small hole on the bottom to allow the usb cord to go in through the bottom to charge .
Recently purchased a JavoEdge Case for my NC...and really impressed! Holds the NC in securely, looks great and functional. Genuine Leather, all ports etc available.
Anywho...just my opinion if you're lookin.

Have tried 5 different ones...this by far is the best of the bunch I've tried. I may end up grabbing a second case from them...the Standing / Easel cases look good as well. Might get one to swap out as need arises to go hands free, etc.
I've ordered a flip case from JanoEdge. I figured even if I don't use the stand I'ld prefer to flip the top cover over rather than bending it back with the book style. I like how it protects the frame, I don't have a skin on mine.
Can't wait, I don't have a proper cover for my nook color, been using makeshift ones. These look great!
Do these cases have the little bit of a cutout / opened up rectangle that the B&N cases have so you can hear the speaker better?

They do, but with the flip cases the stand covers it when it's snapped close.

Ok. How bad is the sound deadening from the stand? I'd love a stand up case but I would like to be able to hear the Nook speaker if I want to hear something. So far there seems to be this one and the Roocase that seem to do the trick, and the roocase lacks a cutout at all.

I have read that it doesn't distort the sound, but wont know for sure till I get it. Can't remember where I read it, was searching around a few different places on the net for views of these cases. Can reply when I get mine, within a week or two I think (international shipping), unless someone else who has one answers in the mean time.
I debated between this and the Roocase. Went with this one via Amazon with some GCs. $33 AC. Went with the JavoEdge Editor Flip.
Ordered a Flip for myself as well. Don't know when it'll show up though, due to the weather in the midwest. It'll need to travel through much of that to get to me in Michigan. Can't wait for it though. I've resorted to carrying the NC around in the box it came in so that I can bring it to class with me!

Using the stand case on my wife's NC...minimal sound distortion. It actually helps redirect the sound toward you in a way.

I'm pretty happy with the JavoEdge editor. Magnetic clasp is nice, the sound is fine thanks to the hole cut in the case. All ports not blocked which is good. When you fold the top back, it does muffle the sound a bit more, but it works great sitting up and with the top flipped up (not folded behind it).
I am interested with this case as well. Can someone post an image of this flip case folded open (side view). I would like to know how thick it is with the stand folded.
Thanks.
I'm also interested, but am wondering how sturdy the covermaterial is:
will it protect the screen well enough if it e.g. fals on a stone/corner (and the obstruction hits the screen first)
is it more like hard plastic, or more like soft fabric (which will dammage the screen when it falls)
does it come with a screen protector, my screen is a fingerprint magnet
I have the same case (tweed version) and honestly don't like it at all. Functionally it's fine, but I hate how the edges that wrap around the screen are just slightly too small and so they don't stay square, but instead balloon out.. Also sticking anything other than loose sheets of paper in the pocket makes it too bulky to close. I love the magnetic "latch" though.
It does offer some significant protection, however. I have dropped my Nook from 5[ish] feet onto a hardwood floor, it landed on the bottom right exposed corner, and the device was a-okay. I'm certain if I had dropped it naked, the Nook would be dead.
I just ordered the Pioneer flip case in brown from JAVOedge's site. These are some very sharp looking cases with strong reviews on Amazon. They're the only cases I found that I really liked the styling--a nice, casual faux-vintage look, neither sporty nor girly (though the Cocoa Cherry Blossom case did tempt this hetero male) and few of them look like a day-planner from 1997. They also seem to add very little bulk, and are reported to be very comfortable in the hand while still protecting the NC.
The company's site has more styles than Amazon: http://www.javoedge.com/reflexeshop...odel.do?brandId=63&modelId=1026&category=1001
And for the heck of it, because there was a "coupon code" field at check-out, I googled "JAVOedge coupon" and got 15% off! http://www.retailmenot.com/view/javoedge.com
@Bandage (OP) I don't think any of their products are "genuine leather." They make a point of advertising "animal friendly" materials, which beats rooCASE's Chinese pig-leather in my book
All the cases look like they won't hold the device well, they all look not very well made and very bulky

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

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.

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

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.

I was just surfing amazon and found a case available that i hadn't seen before. It's by Devicewear, called The Ridge. I can't link to it as it's my first post, though i thought i'd give everyone a heads up.
Seems like an awesome case, with everything that I was looking for:
Slim profile, hard backing, folio cover, auto sleep/start, microfiber lining, decent price, available.
I ordered it and should be arriving tomorrow, i'll try to take some pics and have a short review soon if people are interested. I already have the poetic hardback, which is nice, but this one seems to be the perfect case for me.
That looks pretty nice, looking forward to your review.

I looked up a review of their iPad case and they check out:

Quick Review and pics
Wow, I had no idea that me posting that would make it seem like I'm schilling for them. Not sure what I can say to have you guys believe otherwise, but oh well. I'm not affiliated with them in any sense.
Anyways, for those that would care, it came in today (yay Amazon next-day shipping!) and I took some ****ty cell-phone pics and have some initial impressions.
The Good:
Very slim profile, doesn't add much bulk at all.
While not real, the "vegan leather" does feel pretty good and grippy in the hand. Definitely better than the pu leather stuff.
The inner lining of the front cover has some sort of rubbery, felt-ish material that seems like it will protect pretty well against scratches n such.
All buttons, ports and speakers are well-exposed and have easy access.
I love the combo of hard case to protect the back and cover for the front.
Auto sleep/awake seems to work pretty well.
The Nexus does fit pretty snugly in the case, doesn't seem like it will pop out unless coaxed.
The little ridges in the front cover line up with a ridge on the inside edge of the case to prop it up at multiple angles. It seems really sturdy, and a lot less bulky than the giant deep ridges i have in my poetic hardback.
It also flips over for a pretty good typing angle.
The not so good:
The PU backing seems a little flimsy, I've never had one of these hard cases before so I'm not sure how sturdy they normally are, but it seems like it flexes kind of easily.
While the clamps on the top and bottom edges of the cover hold it in place pretty well, they are definitely pretty flimsy and don't "snap" like you would like them to. I can also see them getting in the way, it would have been nice if they would have found another way to keep the cover shut against the tablet, like a magnet or a clamp on the right side. At least it stays in place though.
Because the case is synthetic leather, it does have a chemical smell to it, which i'm sure will dissipate over time.
Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the case. I really wish the plastic was a bit sturdier, the poetic slimline from the pictures I have seen looks a little thicker. I really do like it, and I'm happy I made the purchase. If anybody wants more pics let me know and I'll do what I can.
Looks like the clips would get in the way if the front flap was folded all the way back like a book and then set on a flat surface. Correct?

They are noticable, but don't get in the way nearly as much as I would have thought. I have noticed, however, that with the back folded all the way back the magnet is strong enough to put the tablet back to sleep, so I have to put a finger in between to keep it on. Definitely annoying.
This is definitely one of the better looking cases for the N7. Its a little pricey though.

Looks like a great case except for this point, definitely a problem. I wonder if it's possible to take out the magnet somehow, I don't even care about the wake/sleep function much.

Is it possible to fold it in such a way that the clamps are facing up the back case (when folded back for reading), so that maybe they can snap onto the PU backing?
I guess it's a bit hard to explain but since the front cover extends all the way to the middle of the back case, is it possible to fold that part to an opposite direction (instead of folding the usual line along on the left edge of the case)
If this works, maybe it can avoid the problem you mentioned in another post, about the magnet being too strong and put the device to sleep when the front is folded back.

I don't think there's any way you can get the clips to face that direction, but I have found that if you keep the cover folded along the natural crease, forming a little triangle, I've been able to avoid the problem as well as giving you a nice little grip to hold onto. Thus far I am really enjoying the case. Although now part of me wants one of the Portenzo or Treegloo cases, they look really nice.
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'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.

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 bought this one as well from amazon us and am very happy with it. Nice snug fit, not loose at all.

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.

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.

This Samsung-made pouch fits damn-near perfect:

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.

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.

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.
