Ok, I have a 10" plain Targus pouch I used with my HP Touchpad last year, but it clearly is twice as big as my nexus.
This was the only case I was able to find with similar padding to the touchpad case I have. Are there any better/cheaper suggestions out there? (I only say cheaper because I have seen many cases going for $5-10)
I also found this but I have no idea if it's as well padded as the case I linked earlier.
I just ordered a timbuk2 Kindle fire pouch. It should fit perfectly

I just received the T-Mobile Tech21 Universal 7 inch Leather Sleeve from All4Cellular (can't post the actual link since I'm new, but just go to their site and search under the name or search for D3O). It uses D3O anti-impact technology and I could not be happier. The Nexus 7 is quite snug inside and it even comes with a strap that allows you to pull the tablet out quite easily. I have to say that I am quite happy with it as it almost feels like it was made for it.

Give Waterfield Designs a look. I love their stuff, been buying from them for years. They are made in San Francisco and are of the highest quality. A little pricey but I have no problem paying for great products made in America. Their website is here: http://www.sfbags.com/ with the link to the sleeve at http://sfbags.com/products/tablet-cases/sleevecases-tablet.php When ordering you need to order size 31-19 which isn't currently in the drop down. Just pick size 30-20 and specify in the order comments you need a 31-19 and it's for a Nexus 7. Pictures of mine are below:

Had the 10 inch one for my prime, loved it, they sell a 7 inch one too. $7. I refuse to put a case on my tablets, just use this for protection when transporting :good:

The only issue with this case is the lack of padding the reviewers say it has. I really want something I could throw the tablet around in while it's in this case

I really like Waterfield, too -- I have had several laptop cases from them. Pricy, always, though; and I'm still kicking myself over giving away the netbook case (don't judge ) with the netbook.
It looks like they updated that page with one just for the Nexus 7, now, too! I had one of their ultrasuede pouches for a phone once too, it was very nice.
I'm debating between their bag you bought and their travel case (for the Galaxy Tab 7, but with the size it should be enough). Basically I was thinking of getting one with the straps; I have a quick question, about the Ultimate Sleevecase, though, if you don't mind. I can see on the page that it has the back envelope area like their laptop cases, how much room is there in that? Can you slide a USB cable in there, for example, or a phone? Thanks!

I just plan on keeping a screen cleaner in the extra pocket.
Here is an excellent pouch that is similar to the roocase that others have pointed out, but much cheaper. I received it the other day (still waiting on my N7) but the quality and padding on this thing is fantastic! It comes in 4 or 5 different colors (I purchased black) and it only costs $6.99, free 2-day prime shipping. Love it!
One of the image notes says an N7 fits in it nice and snug. It's the best zip sleeve I could find for the quality/price/shipping time. And the reviews all have 5 stars, so others seem to like it as well.
I cannot post links yet, so search Amazon for: "Neoprene Zip Sleeve Case Cover" and it will be the top results.

The roocase is nice. I'm using it now. I good quality and durable, a bit on the thick side, it has multiple angle viewing for portrait mode, and will hold itself up in landscape too. Overall I like it better than any other cover available. You do have to unplug from power to open the case, this is very annoying. I I wish it moved the the plug to the side, but beggars can't be choosers.

I know that a company called Abas (do a google search for Abas Accessories if you're interested) will be having some cases for the NookColor in the near future. They will be similar to their Tabbed Folio cases for the iPad and have the kick stand built into the case for 2 different viewing angles. I am really excited - I've bought several notebook & iPod cases from them and they're beautiful cases.

It'll fit in the first one, but the leather across the top will cover the top half inch of the screen. You could possibly trim the leather to fit, probably not worth it.
I currently own the executive tan case for the NookColor from B&N, and I just ordered this kickstand:

I use a Spiderpodium by Breffo as a stand, the original works just fine and is smaller to fold up and take with you, cheaper as well than the huge tablet version. Also can work as a tripod for a camera, stand for cellphone, etc.

I ended up getting of of these at Target for $5 and it works very well: http://www.target.com/2-Pk-Easels-6/dp/B002C5M4D2/ref=sc_qi_detailbutton. I also padded the back half of the ledge with foam strips (the kind you put on car speakers) to put the nook in between that and the lip so it is nice and sturdy.
Folds up decently well. I will have to see how it holds up to travel.

Thanks for the pic so we could see the device on a NC. Question, do you think two of the arms would be able wrap around a headrest bar in a vehicle? I saw a sample of that option in an amazon picture with a cell, but wasnt sure if possible with a larger NC?
Yep, the one in the picture is the smaller, orginal spiderpodium.
I'm using one I bought from Barnes and Noble that works pretty well and has a flip style with kickstand but after seeing the roocase I'm wishing I would have went with that.
Anybody have one of these from BoxWave?
There are zero reviews for it on Amazon. Looks nice, good price, and I want something w/ a kickstand.
Thanks.
rooCase -
Saw this rooCase from PC Micro Store on Amazon first, so I jumped the gun and ordered it...

But then I came across the much sexier (and sleeker) looking case...I've contacted the seller to see if I can cancel the order and opt in for this second one

Love how in the example pictures of this product, there is one Nook and its rooted.
I contacted BlurexUSA.com with the following:
Message: I had an HTC Flyer and i bought the Blurex case for it. I thought
it was the best case for any tablet.
I just bought a Google Nexus 7 and was wondering if you are planning to make
the same style case for the Nexus 7?
Thanks,
I just got this email back:
Dear Jeff,
Thank you so much for your feedback and interest in the Nexus 7 case.
We will have them available for purchase in 2 weeks!
I will keep you posted.
Have a great day,
Alex

I saw that too. Since they won't be available for 2 weeks, I can assure you that definitely isn't the price nor the correct one for the Nexus 7. It's just some dude selling the thing for over inflated prices. Probably because he saw people buying the IO version of the nexus for $500.

Blurex one uses a different method. See the one for the Flyer. (I had the one with out the stylus holder)

That HTC flyer case has a different style than the Blurex case you mentioned, which on Amazon, also has velcro feet.
The HTC case uses grooves for its multi-angle points..Grooved designs are poor because a simple bump will knock your tablet down.

That is the one that I have. I bought it from Amazon.com. But I have the first gen one without the stylus holder. I didn't use the stylus so the two loops to hold the stylus didn't matter to me.
At night, I had it next to my bed and watched videos on it and I bumped it a lot and it never once knocked down. They aren't some flimsy case.
But, nonetheless, the people who like Blurex cases will be glad to know that Blurex confirmed that they will make this type of case.
You made your point in your OP . I myself was also in the market for this exact same style design with the velcro feet so the tablet doesn't slip. I contacted another manufacture and was bumed to hear they weren't making a case with that design for the Nexus 7 at this time. I was just point out other options given Amazon obviously has an incorrect price for your Blurex case. Which, if it turns out to actually be $29.99 ... the link I mentioned so happens to be $15 .. just sayin...

First, that's not a Samsung Galaxy NOTE stylus. That's a Samsung Galaxy Tab stylus which is an entirely different technology. The Note's stylus is an active stylus capable of things like pressure sensitive writing with a fine tip (as opposed to the other sausage-tipped styli that just pretend they're your finger).
As far as the difference between the ones you point out go.... performance varies from person to person and device to device, so you've really just got to try some and see if they work well with the Nexus and your particular writing style. Just make sure that the tip is firm enough that the body of the pen can't hit the screen while you write.
And if you're hoping that writing with any capacitive stylus will be just like writing with a real pen....then neither of them will be good for you since they can't handle that type of precision (you usually need to write large letters that programs shrink down). The type of styli used with the Galaxy Note are the only ones that can actually handle this, but there aren't any for use with the Nexus.
I'm using the Kensington Virtuoso Touch, there are a couple of threads on this forum giving links to reviews of various styluses that tell you why the better ones are 'better'.
I'm using these (In the picture) with my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 which both have xtreme guard screen protectors on them. They work perfectly. They aren't pressure sensitive or anything extravagant like that, but they write well and draw well. That's what I was looking for. I like that I can lose them and it doesn't matter since they are dirt cheap.
I purchased these in an 8 pack. 4 Large and 4 small for my phone. They are all identical in build quality which is good. Made out of aluminum.
I also own a few other stylus (Bamboo, Cosmonaut) which are good but compared to price/performance for me, these are the best I've used.

Yea don't waste your money on a stylus outside of a few bucks. I almost purchased a $20 stylus at Microcenter then while checking out, they had the exact same one for $3. I tested both and both felt the same.
Outside of acting like I can draw anything good on a tablet (or on paper for that matter) they are a fad. I also don't take notes with a pen.
Just invest money in a good keyboard from the market and practice thumb typing. Or buy a little Bluetooth thumb keyboard off eBay for $5 which also doubles as a handy gamepad for emulators.
Capacitive screens just aren't good for fine tuned motor skills required for writing. The tablets that have pens like the Note use a combination of technologies that let it be much more precise.
I also think the pens come separate and cost a good chunck of change (~$50?). The HTC Flyer does it that way. I just can't see writing with a stylus on a 5" screen.

thanks for all the replies, i went with this one at the end, not too expensive also not the dollar cheapo ones
figured that amazon's own brand is worth a few bucks, hope it is as good as the reviews

I don't know... I have lots of things I could use a fine tipped accurate stylus for. The biggest issue I see for things like the Note and the Note Tab is app support.

the only thing that i can think of using a stylus is drawsomething, at least for now
I just ordered this one just to test. For $1.69 and free shipping, I wouldn't really care if it doesn't work.

Exactly the one I was looking at, will be intestinig to see how you like it, my buddy got a couple in China. 1$ a piece... This is a pretty good deal if they 1/2 way work...
Keep us posted...
Thanks!
I use a clooly and definitely recommend it. Works great on the gnexus too.

i tried my amazon stylus versus my buddy's one dollar no brand stylus
to be honest, they are almost the same, i emailed amazon back and want to return the stylus, told them that it felt no different than the 1 dollar one my buddy got, they told me to keep it and will give me my money back, i told the csr that it won't be necessary and they issued the credit anyway
i don't recommend anyone doing this with the intention of asking amazon for a refund but they did do the right thing for me

The stylus works just fine. I really don't see a reason to spend more than $2 for these! It's smooth and comfortable to use.

I bought the Kensington Virtuoso Touch Stylus + Pen and replaced the pen with a Parker fine black refill. Works great and nice weight to it.
I'm not gonna lie, I bought one of those dollar store styluses yesterday and... Using my Nexus 7 is a LOT more fun with a stylus than without. I was pleasantly surprised
I've had the Kensington for a couple of weeks now and I'm using it more and more, it's really fast and accurate for typing, keeps the fingerprints down and the inbuilt Parker pen is great.
Anyone have experience with these cases? It looks pretty solid, but states they won't have stock until December 1st. It's also in the UK, so shipping time must be considered. I'm just wondering if it's going to be available somewhere else sooner or stateside!
Kind of digging the white, but I feel like the different color retention tab being visible when looking at the device could be a bit strange.

I had one of those cases for the transformer infinity and have to say I love it! Very protective, good for flat reading, good as a media stand and the materials (in the one I had) were very good.
Negative things I would say is that my transformer one almost fit the nexus 10, so I am suspicious of people passing off old stock as new, and the fit not being optimal for the new device.
Although at that price I might give it a go anyway, as I'm in the UK

These guys are expecting stock this week. I spoke to them on the phone and they are new, just for the Nexus 10 (which is why they don't have them in yet.) No carbon finish, though, which the Nexus 7 cases have: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LuvTab-Go...d_Folios&var=580155521327&hash=item416e077518
That looks good, not too thick by the look of it. That is one of my main gripes with a lot of cases i see out there, take a lovely sleek tablet, and then wrap it in a thick bulky case. I can understand it if you are trying to protect your device, but for me, a case is for no other reason than stopping accidental scratches to the screen and to allow it to stand up. There shouldn't be a need for anything over the top.
The only thing i don't really like about that case is the grippers that hold onto the tablet. I would much rather a case with some alternative sleeker method of holding it, it just looks, i on't know, industrial?
found this Bear Motion $3.99 + shipping $4.49, looks similar: http://www.amazon.com/Bear-Motion-P...qid=1353350716&sr=1-48&keywords=nexus+10+case.
i went for one, for that price it's worth a shot.
Please post some pictures when you receive them, I hate these marketing photos, they are never accurate.

Cheaper at Amazon (still a pre order though).
Has anyone seen or got a link to a photo of one of these when its closed? All the shots they seem yo be showing are of the case wide open...

Can anyone tell me if these fold fully back when open, for when one is reading? Any idea about build quality?
Thanks in advance!
Sweet, I shall order this too!
Anyone worrying about the magnetic effect of the case? I've read reviews on LuvTab® for Nexus 7
amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B008FXSC9U/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
Some were complaining about the bad magnet, which may damage the compass of the tablet. I am looking something without magnet. Of course I can buy a silicon case or those sleeves. But I want something that can create a stand. And it looks like everything that can create a stand is with magnet.
Seems like this has been delayed for a week or so.
I emailed the seller and he said the delay was only for new order not existing ones and that i should expect it next week
Hi,
Yes, the first set of orders we received will be dispatched as normal. Any new orders will dispatched after 8th Dec
1st December is actually a Saturday so it will be sent after that. Expect to receive the case next week. It will be sent 1st class. Hopefully it doesnt take too long to reach you due to the xmas rush.
Kind regards,
Parm

My case was dispatched today since i live in the UK i should get it in a day or two so ill post a video review when i do here
I bought mine from eBay. It finally shipped today.
Mine has been dispatched today too. Will probably arrive in 7 weeks given the state of the postal service!
I've just got my LuvTab case and I have to say I'm not impressed, in design its similar to one I had with the tf700, but the finish on the outside, whilst described as leather, is like a mock carbon fiber plastic finish, is pretty nasty if you ask me.
Will be arranging for a return, as I think there will be better quality options out soon
Just received mine this morning, I'm pleased with it it was exactly what I was expecting. Here is my YouTube video of the case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLVukRxkBSY&list=UUIxVHXtT7nfqrYA51b0Xuxw&index=1&feature=plcp

The best thing I ever did for using my phone while working out was get a bluetooth headset. Obviously that costs a little more than an armband though usually lol. I got the rocketfish ones off ebay for like 20 or 30 bucks though.

I usually use an armband and a bluetooth headset!
Here：http://dx.com/s/armband+case+Galaxy Read these reviews before you are going to place an order.
I still haven't decided on whether or not I want to take mine into the gym. Thanks for the link though, it'll help me make my decision.

I am a loyal "tunebelt" fan and have used them since I had an HP Ipaq HX4700 about 8 years ago, I have an e-mail into them now asking what they have for the note 2. It will likely be their universal ab85 case but I will come back to this thread if/when I get an armband. i will also follow this thread to see what others come up with.
The items I see on amazon have a lot of plastic-y parts on the arm part, my tune belts have always been all neoprene with a plastic window, not the most "air flow" material. I cant bring myself to use one of these "packs".
Cant wait to develop the "note 2 farmer tan" lol.
I am waiting for my VZW Note 2 and I realized that for my kind of physical activities (Mtn Biking(Dirt Jumping specifically), Skiing, cycling) I am better off busting out my old iPod touch.. I dirtjump on my bike and I have broken 4 phones so far and I have learned my lesson.. I have an old iPod touch that I leave sitting in my car as my Music Hub with ~3000 songs on it that has turned into my "There is a possibility of killing this electronic device doing this activity" Device..
On my phones I use Spotify 95% of the time, but I figure I will just download a playlist of 200 songs I listen to most, on top of my already existing library and call it good.. If I am on the way to go ride, I can just kick up my hotspot and download music to the iPod then (less then ideal, but works)
Pros-
- I dont have to worry about breaking my pretty new N2.
- iPod is about half the size and the battery lasts 10x as long
- If I break my 6 year old iPod, I am not really any worse for the wear..
-Doesnt look like I have a cookie sheet hanging on my arm or in my back pocket..
Cons
- I cant use Spotify anywhere..
- Another device to manage..

HA! large phone joke. too easy. :laugh:
Does anyone else have any input on this? I really want to get a armband for this. I don't care how silly it looks. I get the last laugh while watching movies on my mini tv from my arm lol. I don't actually plan on watching anything but just having it secure on my arm rather then my pockets is what I am after.
i've been using one from ebay, seller named shimshop and the item is called "SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2 II N7100 LTE SPORTS GYM RUNNING ARMBAND POUCH CASE COVER" and it works well. the only thing is that the headphone hole doesn't line up exactly with it, but you can simply fix that with a little cut with some scissors, the material doesn't rip more than what you cut, so dont worry about that.
Got this one for $5 shipped on Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009VOISGY/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00
It recently arrived. Shipping took a little longer (2-3 weeks) than expected but it works fine. It's a little tight with a TPU case on so I had to take it out and slip it in bare. :good: The padding is sufficient for me.
17 - 31 days for shipping? Damn that's a bit too long for me.

I too having been scouring retail stores looking for an armband for my Note 2.
I'd love one that has an extra spot for a key, there's so much real estate that comes with a note 2 armband, whats a little storage? The above link looked promising but that's way too long to ship.

I mentioned above an ebay seller who I recently bought my armband from, this armband came with a key slot, my key fits very snug.
I also bought the amazon one that kipghost linked. I bought this one first before the ebay armband. The amazon armband's velcro wasn't as secure as I'd like, but the phone does fit well without any tpu case. I ordered mine from the $0.01 +shipping seller. One problem I noticed was that my volume keys kept getting pushed while I ran, turning up the volume really high or off randomly.

So I ended up buying this one, got it in 11 days, so quicker than I expected. Going to try it out tomorrow.
EDIT: The band popped loose on my first rep at the gym. I can see this thing maybe working for cardio workouts for me, but not lifting. I don't know how big my biceps are but if you buy this and you try it on and only have the end of the strap coming through the loop before finding back over, it's unlikely it will work for you too.
