This one amazon dot co dot uk Multi-Function-Protector-Accessory-Accessories-InventCase%C2%AE/dp/B008JEJX9S/ref=pd_cp_ce_1
looks exactly the same as mine but is only £3.95 delivered at the moment.
Stylus and Screen Protector provided.
Seems like a good choice.
Suspect the price could rise quickly like my one did.

Waiting until there's something that can use the magnetic screen on/off thing
In the meantime it's in the cover that comes with the blackberry playbook.

What screen protector are you guys planning on using? I want something that's going to feel nice and be quite durable (Not like some of the £1 ones I've had for other devices). I'm debating whether or not to wait until ZAGG bring one out.

Looks good, but I wish they did a Greg or a Blue one. Might get the Green one

Just ordered one of these. Like the look of it whilst waiting for the official Asus one.

I like those cases, does the NATPC M009S version fit the Google Nexus 7? I noticed Biz-E-Bee have made Nexus 7 versions of their cases, but costs £5~ more.

I got a "Belkin 7 inch Merge Sleeve for Tablet" from Amazon.co.uk. I can't post a link as I'm too new... well I've been a lurker for ages
It's more of a stop-gap until something better comes along - although I might just keep the Belkin and add a screen protector.
Speaking of which, I've been looking around for screen protectors, but I haven't found anything good yet.

I have just ordered this case from amazon. (I can't post links yet)
Black Standby Case with Built-in magnet for Nexus 7 Cover Sleep & Awake Feature for the Google Nexus 7 Tablet Android 4.1 Jellybean + Screen Protector + Stylus Pen by MOFRED® (Available in Mutiple Colors)
Looks good, and cheap too, and has the built in magnet for the screen lock.

No probs
Just need to be careful which colour you order
the one I linked to shows it in black but is in fact green
BLACK

I'm having a horrible time trying to pick a nice case, why is Google taking so long to release the official cases here? :crying:
Here are the ones I'm considering, all amazon.co.uk followed by:
/Function-Jellybean-Protector-MOFRED%C2%AE-Available/dp/B008GSMRAY/
/gp/product/B008JEJX9S/
/gp/product/B008H5T0Y2/
/SD-TabletWear-Google-LuxFolio-Leather/dp/B008HTQ4TM/
They are pretty similar but I'm picky I guess!
I also want a protective screen cover but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to put a protective cover on a screen size this big (I had enough difficulty putting it on my phone which has a much smaller screen size) without resulting in lots of bubbles.
I know there are plenty of threads about protective screen covers but most of them result in links to US stuff, any suggestions for good UK items?

Aquaflex Cases - Best looking case I've found!

Saw another good looking case off of eBay and it's called the Aquaflex case for the Incredible 2. The most interesting part about this case is the two-tone design it has on the back. It really compliments well the contoured back cover of the Incredible S / 2.
eBay Link
That actually books pretty awesome. Thank for the share!

Looks good, now time to find it in my country.
Thanks for the tip, I like it! For those in the US, I found a good deal on them at daydeal.com (including free shipping).
(PS - Just providing a tip, I don't vouch for the website in any way!)
I was checking to see if there were any reputable retailers selling this case...
Do NOT google 'aquaflex', at least not at work.
Still no luck finding one in yellow that will ship to my country though

The power button's not too bad, though the volume buttons can be difficult to find. However, that could just be my take, as this is the first time I've used a case like this on one of my phones.

ordered the one from daydeal on ebay and got it in 6 days! this is probably the best case and best looking one to date for the IS. It also came with a screen protector!

which tpu case?

i'm searching on ebay but still can't decide about case? is anybody use case with p970?
this looks very good but a bit bulky and expensive: http://www.ebay.com/itm/120736772569?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
i don't like it much but let's link for selection: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-OPTIMUS-..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item19c50c7ff4
(also those two above has a hole at upper right corner. it's like tv antenna for korea or something.)
this one is cheap and slim but don't look like that attractive: http://www.ebay.com/itm/280704959401?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
any other suggestion?
first one have a better look,i like it
ordered the case at the last link. i will review ~3 weeks later
I ordered a similar case from seller 'moonstore_au" more than a month ago.
They are going to either send me out a replacement or refund my money if it doesn't arrive this week.
With that said, be careful of cheap ones!

yes, this is the downside of free, un-tracked shipping. all of my dealextreme.com orders arrived with no problem. i hope this ebay seller won't dissapoint me.
btw, there is no p970 cases at dealextrme. it's really disappointing.
I bought two here, and its perfect:
http://www.focalprice.com/search.html?keyword=p970
I bought a standard black silicon case for my device and it picks up a lot of lint. Avoid them if possible.
Just bought: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo....m1438.l2649&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13153408294445 I'll let you know how it is ASAP...
my order has arrived. perfect fit. you can press hard buttons easily. don't collect dust. white one is looking really good. looks better than black case.
just one thing bothers me. sharp edges at back side are show some kind of trace at white transparent area.. it's not a permanent thing. it's not even a trace actually. just doens't look good. but not a big problem.
@murrun
Wow it looks great but can you post some pictures like the one you post in the first link. Thanks. I'm also planning to buy silicone/gel casing for my OB but still undecided.

I think i'm gonna buy this one, when my silicone case will waste.
http://cgi.ebay.it/HARD-RUBBER-CASE...ccessories&hash=item3cb9dfcd12#ht_1289wt_1139
it seems very thin and it is hard rubber!
have you guys tried looking around gmarket korea? it's like korean ebay, and because lg is a korean brand you can actually find quite a few varieties of optimus black accessories there. english.gmarket.co.kr. try searching "optimus black" or "KU5900".
I got mine for about USD10, and shipping to Singapore (where I live) was another 10USD (because I didn't buy anything else.. basically gmarket kr allows you to shop from all the korean shops, then consolidates the orders and sends it to you by EMS).
Unfortunately I can't post links and pictures yet. well if interested can just pm me.
If anyone in the US is looking for TPU cases for the LG Marquee / Optimus Black we have high gloss black and high gloss translucent smoke in stock. They include screen protectors as well. I'd be willing to send some free review samples to XDA members as usual send me a PM
I 'm looking for a new cover...and i found this thread.
I'm very interesting at the Mercury Case, I can only buy in
e-bay http://www.ebay.it/itm/LG-OPTIMUS-BLACK-P970-MERCURY-JELLY-CASE-HIGH-QUALITY-PEARL-JELLY-CASE-/110800569008?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item19cc3a82b0 or in this website http://www.nexcen.net/it/33-optimus-black
but i have a doubt, because the upper left corner is shaped? I have no buttons on that side of the phone
someone who bought it can help me, they seem good quality, is it really so? any advice is welcome
I bought this one & I am loving it.

My Nexus 7 Accessories Order :)

I got this case-
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0083P0MI4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
and this screen protector-
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008EO263I/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01
They'll both be here Monday, which is when my Nexus 7 (16 GB) will be delivered too. I have and have had products from both Moko and ArmorShield, and both are excellent quality.
I think I'm going to buy that case. For $6.99, it will hold me over until a better one comes around. I don't like it for permanent use.
I do want a screen protector too, but I only want the non-spray self-sticking (static cling?) ones. I bought one of those for my wife's iPad and it worked great. I bought a spray-and-stick one for my SGT8.9, and it sucked (Zag).

Well, MoKo makes good stuff, it should last a while, I think they are just doing the deep discount to get in on the Nexus 7 frenzy. I agree on the Zagg's, I don't like them either, but ArmorShield, Skinomi and BodyGuardz are all good ones, they all make dry apply and wet apply. I usually go for dry apply on phones, like my Galaxy Note i717, but on bigger things like tablets the wet apply ones are easier to install and work with, at least for me. The ArmorShield's are really thin, don't yellow and are not sticky like the Zagg's, which is one reason why I dislike Zaggs too.
Just ordered that case as well. Can't beat that price with prime shipping.
Thanks for the post.

I ordered the case a few days ago and already got it. It's actually quite nice and more indicative of its real price and not the $7 I paid for it.
I ordered a moko one that has the magnetic sleep/wake function. Sort of a gamble because there is only one pic, but it looks like it can function as a stand as well.

I got the case yesterday, and I'm pretty impressed! Also yesterday, I got this email from the seller-
"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.
Again,we want o thank you for your business. We understand you have
many choices and appreciate your choosing MoKo case to protect you new
Nexus 7.Please feel free to let us know if there is anything else we
need to do to make this purchase a right one for you.

Right on! I have been pretty impressed with their stuff, Skinomi's are a little sticky, and Zagg's are ultra sticky of course. With the ArmorShields, the little imperfections will settle out over the next couple of days, and if for some reason it goes crazy, they will just send you another set out.

I haven't checked my mail yet, lemme go see...
Update-Yep
Dear buyer:
Sorry for another intrusion but we just came across this report and
thought we have to share it with you:
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/White-Nexus-7-Case-Stain-Clean-Black-Nexus-7,16302.html
With the same porous plastic material, we are concerned that the black
back on the retail version could also be susceptible to dye to some
extend. It may be embarrassing but we have to admit that we did not
have this issue in mind when our fist batch of Nexus cases was made.
Although the case has NOT left any mark on neither of the white or
black Nexus 7 we have after a short period of normal use, we would
rather be overcautious and have more intensive tests done before we
can comfortably let you use the case, even as a temporary solution. We
definitely could not afford to have you as beta-testers on this issue
with your brand new tablets and would suggest you hold off using the
case until you get further confirmation from us or a replacement case,
hopefully within 5-7 days.You can be assured all our future shipments
will be fully compatible with Auto wake/sleep feature and free of any
staining problems guaranteed. You will get to choose any style you
prefer from our whole selection of Nexus cases as the free
replacement.
I understand most of you will get your Nexus 7 today and I am really
sorry to disappoint you with this message but please do excise caution
if you have to use something else on your Nexus. Again, I apologize
for the inconvenience and would appreciate your understanding and
patience in this process of getting the right protection for your
Neuxs. This is what we do and we will do it right for you.
Please also let us know if you have any comments or suggestions.Thanks, Jim
WOW, I don't think I've had such good customer service, at least not that I can remember! Most companies would be like "Oh, sorry about that case we sent you last month, it probably left marks allover your device,sorry, but we can't do anything".

I know, I'm shocked too. Question: you just ordered the one case in your OP, right?
I ask because I ordered TWO cases from this seller. The one you did, plus the $12.99 smart case they came out with on Sunday. I wanted to make sure that this email was about the first case, not the second one (or both).
I am really shocked that they would have gone so far to help their customers for something that cost $6.99 shipped. I was actually going to return that case, since I got the better one, but I think I'm going to keep it just out of support of the seller.

Guess I'll find out myself because I just ordered it. Said there were only 4 left and I figured what the heck? I need something for this thing because my two year old feels the need to play with all of my electronic toys.

Yup! It feels really good. It looks like it's a real leather(maybe not but it feels like it).
I just got mine today. It feels very good. My only serious objection is that if I hold it vertically in one hand, using the elastic strap, the cover flops awkwardly, making it hard to hold. I haven't figured out what to do about that.... Change that: if I use the closing elastic to stabilize the cover, it feels fine.

I love my poetic case for my nexus 7, will try this one. Poetic is a great company, they sent me an upgrade after they realized a mistake in the 1st and 2nsd generation case.
I might get one of these for my nexus 7 and nexus 10, ordered one for my nexus 4 which is not here and neither is my nexus 4.
I just got mine as well. It fits beautifully and actually looks nice as well. They paid attention to details on this one. I'm so glad I can stop using my old transformer TF101 case now!
Well thanks for the info . but your video only shows the fact that the cover has magnets. Would have been nice to see how it folds up or maybe the other side of the case.
I ordered the bison case and I have yet to see it and it said that it shipped a week ago.
I might have to order this one.

Mine came yesterday. For the $5.00 w/ free shipping I paid, I can't complain too much (and its miles better than having no case at all). But its not quite what I wanted.
Its a bit too thick. Its noticeably thicker than the casecrown case I had for my last tablet (probably due to the pouches and that weird textured base thing in the narrow section of the cover flap (what the hell is that for?)
Also, while the upright stand position works well, the other stand position is a bit too low an angle for my taste, and its a bit awkward getting it in to that position and getting it to stay that way. I found that I can put a folded up playing card in it to get the angle where I want it, bit this just makes it even more awkward to set up.
What I really want is a case just like I had on my previous tablet (see attached image). Notice the middle stand position in the lower left corner of that pic. That's by far, the position I use the most. And getting it into that position is very quick and easy. Unfortunately, none of the "tri-fold" style cases seem to support that position any more. They're all missing the tab on the back that keeps the flap from sliding out of place.
I got this Poetic, I don't think its the same one, but I am VERY pleased with it, and it only cost $10, worth every penny. And if you have Amazon Prime it got here < 24 hours after I ordered it for only $4 extra shipping lol...The case is actually nicely made, the viewing angles that are available for this case are great (I study quite a bit and have used it for some long term viewing) I would recommend it.

I'm waiting for the Poetic Slimline one to come out. Basically is a feather style thin case with smart cover. I have one for my Nexus 7 and absolutely love it.
Just got my Slimbook in today. Seems pretty nice for the $4.95 that I spent on it. It can stand it up for watching videos on my desk and it has an auto wake/sleep feature. That is all I wanted + having the leather feel.
I went through the customer's review of the slimline version and I was quite suprise about the quality of the product.
Anyone can confirm or denied those review?

[Official] Nexus 10 cover from Google

Hopefully this is a sign of more official accessories to come.

If another thread with this info has already been posted (I didn't see one), my apologies. Feel free to merge or delete this if it's the case.
I wonder if its as bad as the nexus 7 one

I like it.. But i tend to put my tablet down on random surfaces so i need a back cover as well
Most of the other cases are better thats just covers the screen and is more expensive but it would be nice if google could release a good hard case

About Damn time lol
They shipped these covers to some of the reviewers and they seem pretty nice!
If I remember right, they don't work very well as a stand
I ordered one. My current case is a little worn anyway, so I could use new one. I'll post my thoughts on it when it arrives.

Mine came to $38 with shipping and tax (FL).
I always buy the cheap crap and really want a official case, loved it in The Verge review and have waited for the Scarlet one since I saw it... I also hate my Moko Ultra slim because of the back cover, I want a minimal case
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
It says scarlet... Is it my screen or does it look more bright orange?
I'll order one tomorrow. Really glad they finally are offering it.

It's a burnish orange/red. Check out the verge preview and they have it on it

Its unreal how long it took for this to come out. What excuse can there possibly be for a 6 month delay on the first official accessory? So strange to me. Looks decent though.

Ordered the scarlet one too. I'll post some pictures when it arrives. Including shipping to Germany it came 35,98 €. Compared to eg official Samsung covers it really isn't that expensive. The thing i wonder is, if we may see some more accesoires in the near future (dock perhaps)? Hopefully Google has something more to come...
It came to just over £30 in the UK. 3 - 5 Shipping days. Can't wait!
Guys any video for this official case?
Wat you guys recomment, should I order this or get the poetic slimline???
Price difference of 20 dollars !!

It doesn't cover the back of the device, or the corners. Much better 3rd party cases already available.
I can't believe I waited all this time for what is effectively a flap. It doesn't even fold into a stand!

...and an expensive flap at that, seemingly designed by somebody late at night whilst drunk in a pub.

I like the concept of not covering the back, but I agree it should fold. It´s seems prety rigid, making it even somewhat uncorfortable to hold the tablet. I will wait for some reviews and photos around here.

Same here, its a crap design for $30. I'm going to stick with the poetic case. Id prefer something that just covered the front (im not clumsy) because the tablet is so thin and light and then folds into a stand but this isnt it.
