rooCASE Multi-Angle Leather Folio Case (Video Review)

http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Multi...TF8&coliid=I3PNX4KCCN3GST&colid=2KWIRQ1PEHLSD
If your looking for a great Nexus 7 Case at a incredible price .. this is a steal for $15...
It's as advertised, it's multi-angle to any position you want because they grey area is felt, and it has velcro feet on the bottom side of the tablet that let's you position it anyway you want and it's holding up great!! .. it's very stable in portrait mode as well..maybe I do a video or something sometime soon, but it's a steal .. closes by a magnet and I forget what it's called but when you close the cover the screen turns off and when you open the cover the screen turns on...
I honestly can't see them settling at this price for this product .. it's every bit worth the $30 that they have as the retail. I had it pre-ordered and they just started shipping yesterday. I got mine within a day since it's shipping from Southern California ..
Update 7/22: Lots of people are asking about "muffled sound" with this case, in which I reply I don't have an issue with that. For those on the fence, I went ahead and took a picture of the back of the Nexus when the case fully extended. There are in fact holes for the speaker. Let's think about this for a moment. When you use the case in "landscape mode", the holes aren't covered. If you just lay your Nexus 7 flat on a desk and just flip open the cover.."you" are covering the holes. But imo, it's not terrible. It's not like the Nexus 7 puts out Bose Audio quality surround sound .. and again this case is only $15 shipped .. Worse case scenario, Amazon has an excellent and simple return policy.
And if your still unhappy with your sound :crying: .. Grab this free EQ App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zbWFydGFuZHJvaWRhcHBzLmVxdWFsaXplciJd
And Please .. Press the thanks button if I've helped you at all..
Lastly, I'm including a picture of the screen lit up in the case. So you can see that no, the case doesn't cover the screen. The notification bar issues is because there's only a little bit of room there and our fingernails need to be cut!

If this was on Prime... I would have bought it yesterday...

Hmmm, is grain fed vegan leather only available in unwashed, dirt brown and hairy.... or do they have washed options and a range of colours?

Now it is on Prime but at $15 (would be the same when it was $10 with $5 in shipping)
I am taking a leap of faith since I need a case and this doesn't look as ****ty as the other folio cases out and does have the magnet so :fingers-crossed:

I ordered one of these yesterday. Was $10 w/ 5 dollar shipping basically. Looks good to me in the pics, hopefully it fits good when I get it.
I liked how it had the magnet for auto-wake, and how it had a stand mode for watching movies I guess. And how it was cheap

Im really digging this case. I have a post here about the exogear car mount..and i can mount the nexus 7 with the case still on .. when i get time im going to update my pictures and do a new video on that one as well.. enjoy guys!

The rooCASE looks nice but a bit too thick. What do people think about that?
Thanks

Purchased one of these today. Paid $10 for it earlier. Looks decent enough for me right now. Hope it's good quality.
The one I originally wanted was the one below. Has a handstrap along with a magnet to close the flap. I just can't honestly wait 2 weeks for it so I settled for this one.
Do you think this one has a magnetic closing flap so it doesn't accidentally open?
EDIT: Sorry, just answered my own question. It has a magnetic flap closure.

I guess I got my answer and the cons outweigh the pros:
"I have noticed that the speaker is quite muted while in this case, and also its kind of bulky. It probably triples the thickness of the nexus 7."
(http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Multi-Angle-Leather-Google-Automatically/product-reviews/B008F05Q2E/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&colid=2KWIRQ1PEHLSD&coliid=I3PNX4KCCN3GST&showViewpoints=1)

The rooCases do increase the bulk but IMO they are worth their weight in gold. I have a leather rooCase on my ASUS Transformer - which got knocked to the ground from a height of about 4 feet and it did not get any damage from the fall, not a nick, dent or crack. Here's a link to the genuine leather rooCase for the Nexus. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008F05Q5Q/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
This one is more expensive; but the inner case is detachable and can reattach in portrait
mode for video chats. The only other downside is the bezel is covered and makes the notification bar marginally harder to pull down.

I have the Kindle Fire version of this case and though it fits it doesn't close properly. The Nexus 7 version should fit perfectly. I think you'll be happy with it. Great quality for the price.

I have been using this case throughout the day and find it to be very well made. It does add a little bit of bulk but nothing out of the ordinary. The tablet is the very well protected and it stands up well in landscape mode. The overall very happy with the purchase.

Exactly. I was surprised at how well made it is. I also ordered this case: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008GFHO6Y/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00 It's going back. Bulkier than I like and it looks cheap.
I also got this one, which I DO like very much but will probably use it more for my daily commute to work on the train: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008G2UG3A/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00 Love how it converts to a stand.
The Nexus 7 Yoomee case will be my main case, when it arrives - I think. Really like everything about it (and I didn't expect to...)

I have to say, if anyone can let me know how to contact rooCASE for support, I would greatly appreciate it. My wife ordered a case from them for her Samsung GT 10.1, and it pretty much fell apart in the first month or so. She and I have both sent numerous email messages asking for them to honor their lifetime warranty, and neither of us have received a response.
Can't recommend them, honestly, and at this point it's the principle of the whole thing. I simply can't believe that a company of their stature (this isn't some fly-by-night outfit) doesn't respond to email. And, as far as I can see, there's no phone number to call.

sleeve/ soft cases

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 am thinking about a sleeve myself.
To protect the nexus 10 while not in use or carrying it, but not to add bulk to the tablet while in use.
I am thinking about picking up a case logic sleeve.

Will this fit?

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.

I picked up the Hp as well for $20 at Bestbuy works well and will get the job done until new cases are released

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.

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.
http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VersaSle...d=1354034427&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+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:
http://www.llcases.com/c/83/galaxy-tab-101

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.

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.

Folding Smart Cover Case

I was looking at the 'Nexus 10 Accessories' website and discovered they had found a Folding Smart Cover case. It is one of those generic ones from China, but they seemed quite happy with it.
You can find it on Ebay by searching "HardBack PU Leather Case With Folding Smart Cover for Google Nexus 10"
I would post the link to both but I do not have the permission to post links yet on XDA!
Anyways, I purchased one in black and for $16.65 plus free shipping it might be a good option for people, especially those who are stuck with Amazon.ca rather than Amazon.com

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk...+Cover+for+Google+Nexus+10&_sacat=0&_from=R40
there you go..
anyway, i found this http://www.aliexpress.com/item/for-...Stand-Leather-Case-Smart-Cover/705466179.html
it's exactly the same product but with more colors choices. The only problem is, you have to buy 1 lot.US $219.70 / lot, 25 pieces / lot , $8.79 / piece

Why does stuff have to be leather and not hard plastic :/

Is it similar to the iPad one? I want one that's magnetic and turns on the screens when I lift it up.

They found more colors (if you like purple )
http://nexus10accessories.com/purple-smart-case-cover-for-nexus-10/

It does look very similar to the Ipad one, so similar I am sure they will be receiving a letter from Apple's lawyers at some point, maybe not, but with Apples track record regarding litigation anything is possible.
Anyways, I ordered mine in black and it shipped this week. I should have it in the next 10-15 business days. I will post my impressions of it when I get it.

If you can make a video it would be cool. I think it looks nice but what about quality? I'm thinking about getting one of this cases.

I have 2 concerns about this case.
#1 landscape using the stand, will the flap hang down over the screen or will it stay back behind the tab?
#2 when holding the tab with the front cover folded behind it, will that flap get in the way of your hands in portrait mode and again, will it interfere with the screen in landscape?

#1 If you fold the flap backwards often enough, you can make it sort of stay upright without it falling over the front while in landscape mode. The flap is soft after all.
#2 The flap is magnetic, you can actually fold it backwards and it will magnetically snap onto the folded front cover, since the front cover has its own internal magnets.
Here are some pics of mine to illustrate.

These look cool, but I really want a smart cover that attaches directly to the back of the Nexus 10 rather than wrapping around the sides...

I ordered one and I received it a few days ago. It too two weeks from order to receive but was well worth the wait. I got the white one and it looks oh so sweet. I'm going to order a couple more colors I like this thing so much. I have the Poetic slimline portfolio thinking that would be the best option but now I'm not so sure. I might have three of these other cases before the Poetic even ships.

I think we need to protect the device as soon as possible, so I ordered one of this cases yesterday because we don't know when Google or Samsung are going to launch an official smart cover for the N10. If they release an official case soon I'm going to buy it, just if it looks nice and the price is good.
Also, advantages I see on this case is that covering the N10's back you're avoiding:
- Fingerprints
- Attract dust
- Back creaking

I received mine the other day. I must say I am not a big fan of it.
The back holds the device very well, but the front cover just does not feel optimized for the tablet.
It slides around and does not grip the screen very well.
Additionally, if you peel back the screen cover and use the magnet to attach it at the back it won't work on portrait mode. The magnet on the back does something to the magnet unlock and it turns off the screen.
It is a case you could use at home, but I would be wary of taking it out into public, or even tossing it into your bag as the front cover does move a bit and could leave the screen vulnerable.
I have the blurex case as well and I will be sticking with that one from now on.

+1 for the Blurex Case. Minimal, yet gives good protection!

I wonder how this compares to the Slimline that just started shipping. Since these are both intended as front-folding (like the iPad's) and thin covers - which is actually thinner?

Looking for a cheap case that can angle the Nexus 7 like Smart Covers do for iPads.

Title says it all.
Looking for a cheap, thin case than can angle the Nexus 7 in a way that Apple's Smart Covers do for the iPad.

Buy a case and put a magnet in it

When I bought my Nexus 7 at Tesco I also bought a 'Port Phoenix II' which is a universal case for a 7" tablet but holds my Nexus 7 perfectly.
It is a black nylon like fabic which folds like a book and also holds the Nexus 7 vertically in landscape mode with two positions.
It cost £14.99 and I consider it very good value.

Maybe some thing like this?

I have ordered it my self but not got it yet. Almost felt bad that the delivery to Sweden were higher then the price for the case it self.

According to the some comments in amazon ...
[...]Closing the cover turns off the screen but if you fold the front cover around the back, this also turns of the screen[...]
[...]The case has a magnet and what feels like a metal insert for strenghthening - these are interfering with the compass[...]

Yea saw those to but since it had mostly good reviews and a low price I bought it any way.
And well both those two are down sides of "smart covers" with magnets. In the worse case if I have the same problem I'll remove the magnets. I'm used to wake it up with the start button any way.

I have this cheap one from Ebay and LOVE IT! Great quality, slim, and works like a charm.

I've got that case (Purchased from that listing) and I don't get the problem of it turning the screen off when folded behind. Although I have on a different case, not on this one. No idea about the compass.

Poetic Slimeline

There's a case on Amazon made by Bluerex selling for $15.99, with a screen protector included. (I can't post a link because I'm too new to the forum).
I don't own it but it's got good reviews.

Does seem like a good case. And the added screen protector is a nice touch.

iPad Like Smart Case

Are there any iPad like Smart Cases - you know the ones that fold into the little triangle stand - other than the Poetic one and this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008UQJU2K/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&smid=ARK124NKBQ4LI ?
The stand on the poetic one doesn't stay in place if you touch it more than a couple times and that other one apparently breaks down after just a couple months. Don't want it to cover the bezel like the two listed above. Looking for a different one. Honestly, it can even have a kickstand instead. Are there any available??

I am using this one and it works great. http://www.gamestop.com/android/accessories/nexus-7-leather-case-with-stand/104399

This type of case i've found to be the most widely available, they seem to be everywhere.
I bought one and it's very good quality from aliexpress.com, seller jPhone Case Factory.

eBay is another option, but on the UK one the same thing cost a fair bit more.
Have noticed some variation on this type of case, the most important one being the ability for it to stand itself up horizontally which the one I have quoted is very good (look at the product images, you can see it has a clip at the back and it works very well and is very stable)

I got roocase executive leather
that's my 3rd case and I love it. Works the auto wake great once I learned where the magnet in the case was and where the sensor was on my n7. Beautiful real leather and the removable interior sleeve is nice. Not to mention it has a zipper zipps all the way

Thanks, but that one covers the bezel, which isn't what I want.

Would be a good suggestion if I had an iPad.

I think I am just going to say screw this kind of case and get a DODOcase Hardcover. A bit expensive, but I'm tired of these cheap cases that aren't of great quality, don't work as it is supposed to, or add a crap ton of bulk to the device.

Check out the Nillkin Case on ebay. Its a great case that is pretty cheap and functions exactly like the Apple Smart Case..

I'm sorry I guess I didn't read the title completely :banghead:

I'm currently using this one I got from Ebay and I highly recommend it:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Google-Nexu...es_Covers_Keyboard_Folios&hash=item2320f701ac
I also purchased this one, but I don't like it at all. It's more of a rubbery texture where the one I got above is more of a fake leather:

Having had an Oberon case for my old Nook Tablet, I think I'm going to order another one for my Nexus 7 and modify it to be a smartcover. Not necessarily the thinnest covers out there but they are high quality and super tough.
