YooMee tablet case for my N7 - Nexus 7 Accessories

I think I found my case. i had a specific requirement that very few cases have, a hand strap. While i read, i can put my hand through the strap so the tablet is more stable. this is important to me as I commute from Philly to NYC on a daily basis and during my train commute, i need to be able to hold it securely, if its not in my bag or jacket (seriously, though, why would i EVER put it away??)
It's the YooMee tablet case for the Nexus 7. You can look at the details on Amazon. Just do a search on "yoomee nexus 7". You'll see it. The best part? it's only $7.99! Obviously , there are no reviews, but i looked at the reviews for the similar product for the Kindle Fire, and seemed very encouraging.
Anyway, just wanted to share what i found.
Enjoy!

Roo multi-view case review

This is the Roo case with the kick stand, bought from a seller on amazon. I just wanted to warn anyone who is thinking about getting this case. My experience with both the seller and the case is horrible.
First, the seller does not reply unless you threaten them with a file claim and negative reviews. My first email went completely ignored. My case was past due and the tracking number was invalid, i'm guessing they forgot or ran out. Anyways then they replied to my second email with its lost somewhere but that they will upgrade to priority mail when they receive it.
Then i finally got the case. First i gotta say the viewing angles are great. Unfortunately the case is loose and the top is not covered when the case is open. At first i didn't think this was a problem until i accidentally picked it up by the wrong end this morning. The result: my nc fell, while i was in the kitchen, on the tile floor. There are now scratches on both top connor of my nc. The good news is that the nook is pretty sturdy, everything still works at least.
Anyways i just wanted to post my review here first. I will most likely review on amazon too.

I have this as well, and entirely the other experience. I dislike the non closed top, but havent had it fall out, ever. it is easy enough to fix too.
Hmmm I'm considering this case. Thanks for the review.
I am surprised at the review here. I had no problems contacting the seller about not gettng my case. Not only did our correspondence start with email, with an immdiate response with no threats, and when I followed up via phone I reached a human immdiately. It seems like Amazon was accepting orders beyond the sellers supply. Unfortunately the sellers system was set to assign shipping info automatically thus I got a shippng confirmation when my item wasn't shipped.
I love my RooCase! I LOVE the many multiple angles and I think it fits snuggly in the case. Despite the lack of cover at the top when opened my very clutzy self and my almost two year old son have yet to get it out the case despite our many accidents! I have easy access to all buttons on the sides; power and volume. I like how I can either readit propped on a table or while lying down on my back in bed.
I find the magnet quite strong. When I don’t want to use the multi angled stand it turns into a not so bulky case for simple hand holding or laying down on my lap or table.
I take my NC everywhere! This case holds up to the rough daily wear I give it.
I will admit sound is slightly muted with no cut out in the back. This was tested with B&N read to me book Go, Dog Go. I was dissappointed it required manual page turns versus automatic when it gets to the end of the page. Since I didn't buy the NC for its sound quality properties I am not really considering this an issue with the NC or the RooCase.
In conclusion, I highly recommend this case!

I was thinking about getting that case but since reading your review I think I might pass and continue my search.
Just to second this I also had a terrible experience with the seller and filed a complaint with Amazon. They claimed the package shipped on one date, charged my credit card and did not actually ship it for several weeks. They never replied to my email. If you look at the seller feedback the main complaints are about them failing to ship. The case itself is ok (nothing special and makes the nook color a lot bulkier) but the seller does not appear to be trust worthy.
Yes that was my main complaint with the seller. They send out an email that the item was shipped, with an invalid tracking number, and then lied that it was "lost somewhere" when you contact them to ask where your item was. They should have just truthfully told that the item was out of stock and ask you to wait.
I've read differing reviews on the fit of this case. Personal experience says the case is too loose but other reviews has stated that it was fine. If it helps any, I ordered the grey case.
I bought this case and had a simlar experience. I purchased the case on Jan 20 with an estimated delivery date of Jan 27-Feb 1. The item didn't "ship" until Jan. 28. I checked it using the tracking number on Feb 5th and it had made it all the way to the Anaheim, CA post office (the company is located in Chino, CA) travelling an impressive 25 miles in that time. It was on this day that I wrote my letter to the seller. I still have yet to receive a response from the company, but I finally did recently receive the case. The case itself is actually pretty cool. I find it solidly built, and convenient. I noticed, as was previously noted, that when open there is nothing to block the nook from sliding out if the case is held upside down, so I will probably get some sort of leather strip and velcro to keep it in. Let me know if you have anymore questions.
In summation case = good, seller = really bad.

I have a similar case with open top. Here's how I secured mine, required punching 3 holes, bit of stretchy cord + thin charm.
Sorry about links, it won't let me post external links until I have 8 posts, ugh.

The charm is used like a button which fits through the hole punched in back cover.
I have the roocase as well and my experience is similar. I got shipping info immediately that was invalid and i had to contact the seller. They gave me the free upgraded shipping and i had my case a few days later.
I really like the case. Fits snugly and feels great. I highly recommend it if you can stand the wait for shipping.

Glad I saw this, I was thinking of buying one of these cases.
They seem to be doing Fulfillment by Amazon now, maybe that will help their shipping woes.

Indeed- I took a gamble and ordered this case on Sunday, February 20th. With my Amazon Prime shipping benefits, it arrived today- Tuesday, February 22nd.
Whew!
Wow. Wish I would have read this and or waited til Amazon took over the shipping duties. I ordered mine on the 14th and it is still preparing to ship. I sent an email to the seller today. I have Amazon Prime as well. Yay me.
interesting.
Got same case, only thing i dislike about it is the fact that the speaker is blocked. Nothing a lil boxcutter knife wont fix but still, could have been better.
My experience has been good. Ordered the case, got it about 5 days later.
Overall, I like the case. Yeah, I think they should have closed the top so the device can't fall out, but it's not that big of a deal.
The case is super useful. Love that you can set it up at any angle on a table and read. Leather is nice too. Recommended.
I was looking into getting this case. Right now I have the smoke grey case from B&N.
Does this have slots to store items, like SD cards and such? And can they potential fall out when the stand is being used?
Hi Guys,
Thinking of getting this case as well .... but found that the stand is for portrait. True?
How do you have your NC on the landscape format and standing and tilted - I mean if you are watching videos, it would be in landscape, right?
Is there any other alternatives? So far, the folio types open side way (not flip) but user feedback that the straps at the top is covering the power and volume button.

here is a case for the nexus 7-cheap

The are just generic cases or sleeves for any 7" tab. You can get a simple sleeve type case on ebay for under two dollars with free shipping from hong kong that will do the trick.

Same brand from ebay.
Couldn't find it for $2. Difference from amazon seems to be $3 less and no shipping costs. They're mailing it from China so it'll take two weeks, which means it'll arrive at about the same time too :laugh:
I'm actually a bit concerned about standard 7" cases. The nex7 has a fairly large bezel. I have a kindle fire (190 mm tall) in a marware stand case from amazon. The marware case is an excellent case!
I also have a tab2 7.0 which is 3.7mm taller (193.7). The tab2 fits well in that particular case also but it is a little harder to stretch the clips around it. The nex7 is 198.5mm and I'm sure that a standard 7" sleeve would work fine. I'm just concerned that a case similar to the stand-style marware case may not house the nex7 tablet very well.
The nex7 is only about a quarter inch larger than the fire, but it makes me a bit apprehensive about buying a case that I cannot try the tablet in. I'm hoping that the "official" nexus 7 case will be available soon. It looks nice!
The way how popular Nexus 7 seems to be already, there will be many great cases made specially for it. I'm going to go for a pink one made out of faux leather for 4-5 dollar. Before that, it'll just have to rest in my silk evening bag which doesn't see much use anyway.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0076COM9K/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00
Here's the cheap case I'm using with my N7.
Oooh! A lot of these look pretty nice. Since I can't post links yet (YET) I suggest hitting up Amazon and searching "nexus 7 nuvur". Apparently they have quite a few cases, almost 6 pages I think, and I ordered one. I'll letcha guys know how it comes out if you'd like.
For now, I'm just waiting for the nice Asus ones to come out. The ones that remind me of the iPad smart covers. haha

It was available, but they removed it temporarily I guess. According to the representative I spoke to on the phone, they should be back Monday.
Oh, and also, the case I bought was $8.30 (give or take on the pennies) shipped. According to the image quality, it looks fairly nice. Apparently, mine is named MDK2G2R1.
I certainly hope that in light of the recent Apple injunction that we will get to use our accessories. I read Google terms of the pre-order. I believe that if the product its barred from US sales, Google is not obligated to fulfill existing orders.

Wait... so you're saying the cases might not ship... or the devices themselves?!
I'm saying that Apple might very well ask for an injunction barring sale of the tablet in the US. The fact that they were granted an injunction on the Galaxy Nexus phone (only the version available directly from Google with 4.1 Jelly Bean) based on the "Siri-like" Google Now, means that Apple may ask for, and be granted an injunction against our tablet.

That's what I'm scared of.
And a free case won't be worth the extra month or two of waiting.

Case-Mate Kindle Fire Tuxedo Case

It uses adhesive to secure the device. Smart-cover type functionality it appears from the video. Looks sweet. Anyone want to pull the trigger?
http://www.case-mate.com/Amazon-Kindle-Fire-Cases/Case-Mate-Amazon-Kindle-Fire-Tuxedo-Cases.asp
You do it, then you can tell us all about it.
This might be the best out there atm, wish it was designed for the Nexus so u wouldn't have to have that flap (have it attach like the Ipad)
I'm not gonna spend $40 on a case that isn't designed for my device.
Sent from my Nexus 7
I agree that this case looks great. I actually prefer this over the magnetic smart covers, as the smart covers do not protect the back of the device. I have ordered this off of Amazon, and will get it in the next couple of days.
The Nexus 7, however... I'll probably get it next week according to Google's E-mail on the matter.
By the way, there's no doubt in my mind that this will work for the Nexus 7:
Both Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire have a "rubberized" back, so if the adhesive works on the Kindle Fire, it'll work on the Nexus 7.
base x height x thickness for Nexus 7 is: 120 x 198.5 x 10.45 mm
base x height x thickness for Kindle F is: 120 x 190.0 x 11.40 mm
What that means is that it'll have a small bezel of ~4mm on the top and bottom of the device (thickness of <1mm will probably be negligible on a case)
Case is "open" and not blocking any ports/buttons (since Kindle Fire has no buttons on the side, if the case had a covering on the side, it would've screwed the Nexus 7's buttons)
Regardless, since I will get the tablet within 30 days (which is the return period for Amazon for this case), I'll try it out and update if it's worth keeping or not for the Nexus 7.
I don't see any better case coming out for it (I prefer a small, sleek case like such), since the actual smart case design (like the ones for the iPad) is patented by Apple, and you know they're going to sue the crap out of any other company that makes it (since they're very sue-happy).
I'm going to pass by best buy tomorrow and see if I can find anything decent that fits...if not I'm ordering this.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I have this case for my iPad and its by far the best case I've ever had. I hope they make a nexus version soon.
I had this case for my Kindle Fire but unfortunately I sold it along with the Fire when I ordered the Nexus 7. That said, I'm fairly confident that it would work just fine with the N7...the adhesive is very strong and should have no problems attaching to the back of the N7. I took the KF out of this case several times without any issues getting it to stick to the adhesive when I put it back. My only concern would be that because the KF is slightly thicker the case might have a little extra "give" with the N7 when closed.
It's a very sharp looking case, though. Highly recommend for KF, should probably be fine for N7. Using mine without a case at the moment but considering going back to this one.

Yoobao Similar Case for N7???

I'm not sure if you guys are familiar with the brand Yoobao, but the make really good cases for the iPads (yes, I know, an Apple product. blah blah blah). My GF currently has it on her iPad2 and the fit is awesome.

I've seen the YooMee, and frankly its not what I'm really looking for.

Don't see anything for the Nexus 7, only stuff for the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
they make cases for the Galaxy Tab 7.0 which has similar dimensions. I wonder if it would fit...
Yea, but Belkin is way overpriced and their products are crap
Finally got an email from YooBao. Be on the lookout for next month, they make really good cases and the fit is phenomenal.
Dear XXXXX,
Nice days!
Thanks for your interests in Yoobao products and sorry for our late reply.
The case for Google Nexus 7 will come out next month.
When it comes out, you can see it on our website.

The case is displayed on their wbdsite. Looks like smaller version of the good Ipad case.
Had a yoobao case on my sensation. The case is actually flame resistant and honestly had a great fit and look.
Looks like the case is out:

$30 with free shipping. A much better deal than the Official case for the same price.
also available on eBay for $5-10 more.
Has anyone used Aliexpress or Alibaba? I think they're mostly direct to retailer/wholesaler shop out of China.

oh, and does anyone know if these will have the velcro strip on the inside to keep the flap that holds the tab in place from slipping out? I LOVED the Yoobao case for my iPad, except for the lack of this feature.
I looked a lot before I settled on the Yoobao case for my iPad and haven't seen a nicer case. Their N7 case looks like the same design which is great. The only thing about my iPad case is that it is a version 3 meaning it took 3 tries before they ironed out the issues. Version 3 of the iPad case corrected some issues with the smart on features as we'll as add magnets to hold the front flap in place.
I suspect that this N7 cover may not have the smart on/off feature yet and if they follow foot steps of the iPad they will probably produce a v.2 in short time with the smart on/off. At $30 plus, I'd wait til they produce one with the smart feature.

It's actually $30 with free shipping, so just flat $30. I think it's a much better deal than the official case which costs the same (if you add shipping).
I'm actually assuming that they've incorporated all the things that they learned from the various versions of the other cases and implemented them into the first version of their newer cases. I know that my Yoobao ipad case had the smart on/off but not the magnet to keep it closed. It didn't fling open though. The one feature it lacked was the thin velcro strip to keep the flap that kept the ipad in the case from slipping so it constantly needed readjusting. Did yours have this?
I just ordered one of these from mobile fun.co.uk

My Version 3 Yoobao iPad case did not have the velcro to hold down the flap, however, I never found the iPad moved around and needing adjustment.
Your assumption about Yoobao incorporating all the things they learned from other cases for the N7 case is sort of right. They actually already have a Revision 2 case for the N7 with a "fixed Sleep/Wake" and Magnetic Closure.
The review from mobile fun.co.uk seems to indicate the case puts the tablet asleep when folded all the way over. Waiting for reviews from here before I take the plunge.
I've just ordered this from the kevikev ebay store. It's cheaper to do that with shipping than to order here in UK. Here's hoping the version 2 has the magnet issue resolved. The case looks very nice.

[REVIEW] Caseen DESIGNO Nexus 7 Case

Hello. First of all, this is my first post to XDA, so a little introduction:
I'm Neal and I live in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. By day, I am an IT contractor for the Federal Government.
I ordered my Nexus 7 on Day #1 from the Play Store and I received it in mid-July. My only other tablet experience was an HP TouchPad which I got from the Fire Sale. I say "was" because I sold it to get the ca$h for the Nexus 7. I don't regret my decision at all! I was dual booting webOS and CyanogenMod and I ended up using the CyanogenMod side more than the webOS side.
Below is a review I wrote for the Caseen DESIGNO case for the Nexus 7. I originally wrote this review in mid-August. I will post an update to the review at the end:
When I pre-ordered my Nexus7 and saw the OEM case, I must admit that I hesitated at first. I wasn't really sure that that case was worth $20, but I wanted something to protect the N7 right away. I wasn't sure when other N7 cases would come to market, so I purchased the OEM case.
The OEM case was not the solution for me. I'm not going to go into details; there are other threads on this matter.
I was attracted to the Caseen case because I wanted something of good quality and not some eBay/Amazon China mass-produced item. Yes, the Caseen is made in China, but it doesn’t look like it was rushed out. The Caseen looks like thought and care went into the design of the case.
I’ve had my Caseen for a little over a week. I really enjoy using it as opposed to the OEM case. I feel that the N7 has more protection. When I still had the OEM case, I went away on vacation and I was afraid of packing it in the suitcase. With the Caseen, I feel more comfortable putting it in a backpack or Messenger Bag.
The case is constructed of genuine leather. The inside is soft and will not damage the screen. All the ports, including the “Sleep/Wake” and “Volume” buttons are easily accessed and easy to press the buttons. Speaking of “Sleep/Wake,” the cover does contain a magnet which will activate the “auto Sleep/Wake” function of the tablet. The magnet will keep the cover in the closed position when not in use.
The cover does have a hand strap, so when you open the cover and bend it over behind the tablet, you can place use the hand strap to hold the tablet in the “portrait” position.
The case has holes on the back along the speaker area to allow the sound to come through. I have looked at other $30 - $40 cases and these cases do not have an area for the speaker. I haven’t tested these other cases, so I do not know how this affects the sound.
The Caseen DESIGNO also has an elastic loop to keep your stylus and the cover does convert into a stand so that you can place the N7 in “Landscape Mode” for both viewing and typing. I have found issues with both the elastic loop and also with using the “stand mode.” I have outlined these issues in the accompanying YouTube video - Sorry, I can't post the video since I'm new. If you want to see the video, just PM me.
The other issue I am running into with the case is that it is difficult to swipe down from the top in order to open the Notification Area. This is also demonstrated in the YouTube video. In addition to swiping for the Notification Area, I do find it difficult to access the “back, home, and recent apps” soft buttons when using the N7 in Landscape.
Overall, I do like the Caseen DESIGNO and would recommend it to anyone looking for a case for their Nexus 7. Considering that I am on the East Coast and Caseen is in California, they respond quickly to e-mail.
** UPDATE **
Caseen has come out with a "Version 2" of the DESIGNO case. Basically, the Version 2 has some cutouts on the left and right side of the case to allow for swiping. For example: You can swipe between open tabs on Chrome by swiping left to right or right to left. The case still makes it very difficult to swipe from the top an open the Notification Area. I think Caseen needs to take this into account for future updates.
I hope that you enjoyed my review.
Thank you,
Neal

I have a video on YouTube, but I can't post it since I'm a new member.

Yes, it looks very similar to many cases I've seen, including the SupCase.
Thanks for the review Neal!
Anyway, here is a video featuring the case:
Hope that helps. For those wondering, the MoKo/Blurex/SupCase are all very cases for the money. However, our case is different and is blueprinted here before being sent out. If you google caseen reviews you'll see we have definite quality differences.

Honestly the case is the same as the moko/blurex ones besides the front design. Looks like they came from the same factory. Id go with whatever is cheaper.
