Did some searching on this board, but really didn't see much focus on those of us looking for rotating cases, so here it is:
Does ANYONE have any leads on well-designed rotating cases for the N7? I'm looking at the following three cases, all of which have yet to become available for purchase, but I'm hoping someone else found something that's available now:
360 Degree Rotating Folio PU Leather Case For Google Nexus 7 - Brown (any opinions on CaseBuy.com as a retailer would be appreciated
MoKo(TM) Folding Cover Case for Google Nexus 7 Android Tablet, Purple (With Automatic Sleep/Wake Function, Flip Stand, Elastic Hand Strap, Stylus Loop, and MicroSD Slot)
MoKo(TM) Folio Cover Case for Google Nexus 7 Android Tablet(With Automatic Sleep/Wake Function) (Looked like a rotating case, but not sure)
I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on the CaseBuy one, but I've never ordered with them, and I don't know if they're shady. Thoughts?
Why are the second two $99?

I saw those too, and I"m also tempted on buying the i-BLASON one as well. Still, I'm trying to see if there's any case that cuts down on the bulk; don't want to make the N7 too unsexy
Have to say that so far I haven't seen a single case that looks worth buying (of maybe 2 or 3 dozen I've seen online). I'm hoping that at least a couple of the manufacturers who turn out the best designed and engineered iPad cases decide to address the Nexus 7 market, given its successful launch (in numbers, not execution) and prospects. So far the pickings are pretty uninspired, if not dismal.

Have to agree, these case look to be about 1 inch thick sandwich with the nexus in the middle. I did like the MoKo(TM) Folding Cover Case (2nd one on first post) but only if its at a more reasonable price range.

No magnet throws me off that case but otherwise looks great. I hope they make a revision with auto-wake.
My main need for a case is to stand it in portrait for when I'm in bed reading. Has anyone bought a case and can tell me that it's good for that. I bought one of those cheap rotating cases from an unknown brand and it's good in landscape but in portrait the stand part is to weak and as soon as i touch it it collapses so I'm wary of trying another

I got this case a week ago. I meant to post but didn't get a chance. No magnet in it but a slim magnet can be slipped inside the first groove (the first groove for landscape viewing). I didn't have many magnets available..i tried some slim ones off the refrigerator but they weren't powerful enough. I took out the magnet from a old 6gb 2.5inch laptop drive and its works. The magnet in the hard drive is very slim and I still need to try and cut down the surronding metal plate to make it as small as possible.
This is the one that I ordered and should be here on Monday:

The bezel NOT being covered is huge deal breaker for me so this one provides that plus the full 360 degree rotation that I wanted. I have the same one for my Blackberry Playbook and I love it.

I'm looking for one that will work well in portrait for reading. I'd like to know how you like it when you get it especially in the portrait position. I bought one that looked kinda the same but was some cheap no name brand and in the portrait mode the stand part is too weak to hold it up and collapses.

lol I ordered that one also. BTW my RooCase one arrived and I do really like it. The bezel being covered is kinda weird though so I thought I might like the above one better. It also appears to be more slim than the RooCase. The RooCase does work well in Portrait mode and it's a velcro to felt kinda link so you can adjust it however you like. Have yet to put serious use in it but it seems great for the most part.
Hi guys,
Just putting this info up for anyone who may be interested. Suggestions/comments always welcome I'm new to the board, so unfortunately, I'm not allowed to post links (you can find all these on Amazon)
I was looking to get a durable case that would fit my new N7. In particular, I was after the Pelican 1055CC. It should also fit a Pelican 1060 case.
After PM-ing a few people on these boards who have owned this case for the N7, it seems that that fit for the N7 is good but not perfect (It seems the N7 slides around a little within the case).
It looks like Pelican also makes the Pelican Pick N Pluck system, which is basically a set of customizable foam pieces that are made to fit in specific Pelican case models. You can find this on their website or on Amazon.
I have this case and with the tpu case i have on my N7, the movement isn't bad. I would recommend the pelican case in a heartbeat.

In my search for a tough case for the N7, I decided to get a Pelican 1055CC. Only thing is, I am not sure how to find this in Europe. I don't want to order it from the US, as it is already pretty expensive. Do you have any ideas if there are any resellers, or should I contact pelican directly?
Not cheap - http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb...d-keywords=Peli+1055CC&rh=i:aps,k:Peli+1055CC
No, but the price is kinda ok. It's very close to the quote I got straight from Peli, however the reseller they sent me to, only deals with companies.
This one from Amazon isn't ok either. For some reason they won't let me use a shipping address outside of UK.
I will keep searching.
EDIT: Found an online Peli reseller in germany. Only 55 euro with transport included. Placed the order, should have it in 3 - 4 days.
Pelican cases will never be cheap, but you get what you pay for. I have them for my rifles and they are great. One of the ones I had fell out of a plane and broke. They sent me a new one for free.

Peli case arrived this morning. It looks great. Good build quality, not too bulky but very sturdy. Didn't get a chance to put the Nexus in yet as I am at work but from what I read around, there might be some space left in the case. If this is true and it will have some play, seems that I can insert some sort of foam sheet under the case lining. It is glued in, but looks like it can be lifted in some parts.
If anyone is curious about this, or you need pictures, close-ups, any extra details, let me know.
I noticed that this section is mostly dominated by talks of cases that are meant to be on the N7 full-time.
I was tempted to go for a Treegloo or Portenzo case since they are beautiful, but I thought of my experiences with my Kindle Keyboard and decided I'd rather not get a case at all for my N7. With my Kindle, I bought the official, leather, book-style case for it. It was a great case, but I always found myself taking the Kindle out of the case because it was so much easier to hold naked.
So for my Nexus 7 (which hasnt come yet D: ), I went and looked for a good sleeve/hardcase and a compact stand.
I decided to post up my findings since there hasnt been much talk about these things at all.
The following are things that I considered. I'm not affiliated in any way to any of these sellers.
Oh and I stuck with Ebay since its cheap and most things have free shipping lol.
Cases/Sleeves:
- Hard case with memory foam. (Bought this one) (Search ebay for "7 EVA tablet case" if link doesnt work):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/150724568400
- Velvet pouch. I've used smaller versions of these for my MP3s and phones before, not much protection from major impact but good for preventing scratches. (Search ebay for "7 velvet pouch"):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/270954954612
- This whole store has nice and interesting sleeves for tablets. Not sure how protective they would be though:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/BOKOshop
Stands:
- Colorful minimalistic stand. (Bought this one) (Search ebay for "mini ipad stand"):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/110889327320
- Small white adjustable angle stand. (Search ebay for "mini foldable ipad stand"):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/140748235539
Once I get the two things I bought, I'll post up my impressions in separate posts here.
Not sure how well that little colorful stand will work (and $4.50 is too much for it IMO but I couldnt resist lol).
If anyone knows of other nice cases, stands, or something else for commando N7s, I'll add the link.
I left screen protectors out of this thread since thats a big enough subject for its own thread.
Hopefully this helps someone lol.
So, the first one

holds the N7 in place without it being loose or anything?
Hope so lol.
It claims to fit a Kindle Fire perfectly, and the N7 is .31" taller and .02" wider than the Fire. So judging by that picture in the listing, the N7 should be a snug fit (hopefully not too tall).
I should have the case + N7 by the weekend hopefully, so I'll post my impressions when I can.
Hi guys,
since I got my Nexus 7 WiFi almost a month ago and still don't have a proper case, I finally decided to buy one, but I'm not sure yet which one to get, as there's quite a few different ones out there.
What I'm looking for:
- reliable sleep/wakeup functionality when opening/closing the case
- useable as a stand when in landscape mode
- should not cover up any connectors/plugs of the N7 WiFi
- material plastic or faux leather
- dark color, preferably black
- not too expensive
- should provide good protection from scratches, smaller falls etc.
Would really appreciate your advice on this one, especially if you made some good/bad experiences with (multiple) different cases.
A bonus would be if the case also was available in a european-based online shop, as I live in Germany, but its not a necessity.
Thanks in advance, looking forward to your suggestions
Tech21 make nice leather folio cases with d30 material inside, should be good for a fall;
http://shop.tech21.uk.com/store/Pro...02W_Google-Nexus-7-Leather-Case--Impact-Folio
No sleep function but it has a pocket on the lid where you could stick a magnet inside to create the sleep function, I've stickytaped one in and it works great.
Thanks for the suggestion, but that one is a bit out of my price range.
I also don't need neither real leather nor a super hi-tech drop/fall protection.
I'm looking for something for about 20-30 Euros, if possible.
Roocase
I have a roocase that is basically exactly what you described. But it's over $30 from what I found

Thanks, I looked it up on Amazon, but there seem to be lots of different versions of the roocase for the Nexus 7, many of them in my price range.
Which case do you have exactly, could you maybe hook me up with a link?
Like you I bought my Nexus7 around a month ago and spent a lot of time thinking about which case to get.
In the end I went with this one from Amazon and it really is as good as it looks in the pics.
Plus it's amazing value.

I'm not exactly sure, I received it as a gift and threw the packaging away long ago.
although there are various other threads on this same topic. I suggest the poetic slimline, it's what i use and seems to have all the qualities your looking for.
i bought the poetic that everyone here raves about. it looks very nice, but the problem i gave with it is the stand. after a couple of weeks it is very weak. i also bought and highly recommend the Moko Slim Case. looks great, fits perfect and the stand is much sturdier and has two viewing angles. it also has a loop on it to hold your stylus and a strap for your hand to slide into very comfortably. theres even an elastic strap that fits over the corners to keep case secured open when in use in your hand so the the cover doesnt flap around. highly recommend this product. youtube review of it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8eTdyBgbnI
and you can get it on amazon for $15.99 http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Slim-fit-Google-Android-Tablet/dp/B008FLYROG
I have the poetic slim in black and got it for 12 shipped on amazon. Like said above it's stand gets weak after awhile and isn't ideal for that. The reason I got it was to protect the screen and to not be bulky. It does that job really well.
Hello everybody!
I would like to create a thread to reference available Nexus 5X sleeves.
Why I prefer sleeves over cases? Well, when I buy a phone I consider it because of its design. And the very problem I encounter with the case is that it changes the design of the phone.
I like holding the phone in my hand but at the same time I also like to protect it. Hence the sleeve.
It gives the phone full protection and at the same time I am able to "feel" the phone when I use it.
However I don't see a lot of sleeves available for the Nexus 5X. I saw some on Etsy but nothing very exiting.
Who is looking for similar sleeve? Any ideas?
Not sure where you are based, but the german company fitbag do some EXCELLENT sleeves for pretty much every phone. Available on Amazon (.com and co.uk) and direct from fitbag.
Had one for an Galaxy Nexus (brought pretty much at release) and it was still going strong a couple of months ago when the phone was sold. Quick run through the washing machine and it was as good as new.
Picked up their 5x version and it's equally as good.
Great quality and value for the price... Highly recommended!
I bought a fitbag from Amazon. To be honest it's not great and the material attracts loads of dust and dirt. Unfortunately I haven't found any alternative.
https://www.etsy.com/search?q=Nexus 5X pouch
Be careful with a slip case and a naked phone. I bought one for my Ice Blue 5X and suffered noticeable wear on the back corners and sides of the device, so much so that, after an argument with Carphone Warehouse, I exchanged it.
I like a vertical leather pouch with a belt clip. Currently using one from PDAir, but I bought it a few years ago for my Galaxy Nexus - it just barely accomodated the Nexus 5, and it's just no good for the Nexus 5x. So...
Looking at a new PDAir pouch, it looks like maybe the one for the Sony Xperia Z3 would be the right size.

Interesting comments. I remember buying a fitbag for my moto x 2014. Unfortunately due to the curvature of the moto x the phone wasn't fitting nicely enough. I'll try the sleeve for the nexus 5X just to see how it fit although it's not the right size.
The cases on etsy are a little bit too common I feel. I hope we'll see some nicely build sleeve from well-known manufacturers soon
Just ordered the gray leather fitbag from Amazon. 24.90 no tax and free shipping. Will update when it arrives
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015YGCR1O?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
I contacted caseable dot com who told me to use the nexus 5 case. When I pointed out the size difference, I never heard back. Nice cases, poor customer service.
Hi, I just ordered this one, it looks really nice in brown color...
