Just got an email announcing that the "Nexus 7" tablet covers are now available for purchase & shipping from the Google Play store....
They've been for sale for almost a week now

$10.00 to ship a $20.00 item ???? I'll PASS on this one !!!!!
Wrong. They have been backordered until today.
Who cares anyways. I'm not paying $31.28 for a POS case without a smartcover.

How have they been backordered until today if I ordered mine around Wednesday I think and I just got the email today? And I've paid more for other Nexus cases, and its not like its $60.

Definitely an easy pass. Case isn't worth $20 itself, needless to say another $10 to ship it. What a joke Google...
Not to hijack the thread. Just a question for everyone. It has probably been discussed elsewhere but you all seem interested on the topic. I know people have discussed if Google was in violation of crapple's patent for the smart cover. Do you ever wonder if Google decided to launch the device without a smart cover in order to not draw attention to it to avoid a lawsuit knowing others would make accessories utilizing it? They could claim it was for a dock or something.
I know this is a stretch, but how else do you explain such a pointless accessory? Also I know the Apple patent was very specific to the actual smart cover and that Google will be fine.

I dont want it to stand up. I know its not a smart cover.
I want a thin case with a cover for the screen.
Seems like it should work for me.
Also I currently have a leather case that is smart and fits perfectly in.... but I want it thinner.... And I can't get the "looks like a 15 year old nokia case" out of my head.:laugh:
The rubber rounds the edges and raises the screen. Good enough for setting it down and providing some defense from casual tumbles from the bed or couch. I don't want a smart cover, I use a password every time and the button is right there. Why do people always find stuff to complain about, instead of ways to enjoy what you just bought. There will always be something better, find what works for you.

This question is subjective. Like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I am sure you have seen the myriad of threads and posts about cases. Have you seen them?
Is this your first tablet? If not did you use a case with your previous one? And were you happy with it?
Are you curious about a certain case? What makes you ask the question, really...I mean your answer is out there. In other words, the answer you seek is the one you answer yourself.

This thing is my favorite, personally. It's cheap. Durable as hell. Wakes and puts the device to sleep with the flap. Can be turned into a stand, and it don't look half bad. :laugh: It's all your choice, but I would look at this one if I was you.

Too soon to call it bro, it also depends on your price limit.

Wait, what case is this?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Soooo many case threads... maybe there should be a "which case is worst" thread. Don't like the one I bought on Ebay here. The fit in the portrait direction is not great, slides up and down about .25", so the camera gets covered easily. Also has no hole for the side mic, so mic pick up is questionable. Also the thickness of leather prevents a finger slide right to the edge of the screen. No auto-off. I wouldn't buy it again or recommend it to anyone.
It absolutely depends on whether a case offers functions or features that would give you more opportunity to use your tablet.
I typically get cases for my devices so that I am not as concerned about breaking it while out and about. I am also often in situations where it is best to be discreet about using an electronic device.
Something else to consider is how the case will impair the experience of using your device as opposed to having no case on it. One of my biggest gripes with cases in general for touchscreen devices is how many of them encroach on the screen surface, so I go for the usually higher cost cases that put more thought into how the device is secured into the case without putting anything on the screen surface. When I say that they encroach on the screen surface, I do not necessarily mean that they hinder viewing, but that they cover the unused edges of the screen, and that happens to be where I prefer to grip with my thumb, and I prefer the feel of the glass under my thumb rather than leather, cloth, microsuede or whatever else.
Those are just my personal rules when hunting for cases for my devices.
This case almost makes it, if only the back was black, and that stand popped off.

I have that case...and the revision of it.
First case that I received had a strong magnet causing my Nexus 7 to go to sleep mode when the front cover is folded to the back of the case.
The second cover that I received today had no magnet (or a weaker magnet). The smart cover sleep/awake function is nonexistent.
Also the stylus holder is blocking the volume buttons. This issue actually is for both versions of the case.
Despite the lack of the smart cover function, I'm going to switch between the latest revision of the hardback case that I just got today and the official Google case....for now.

Gameklip is now offering 2 models only. One for the SG3 and a universal one that attaches to a case for your phone with a 3M adhesive strip. They have cases for the Note 2 for $2.95, it's a generic TPU type. The wireless model plus case plus shipping to my house came to $21. The case attaches permanently to the klip so you will have to switch out any case you now have each time to use it. I have the Samsung protective case that slips off an on easily so I decided to go ahead and get the universal "case mount" since I would have had to take it off anyway with the old style system because it fit the phone too tightly to use with a case anyway. I will report back on the fit and quality once I receive the package.

You would have to take off any case anyway because the versions made for specific phones fit too tightly to allow you to place the phone plus case into the klip. You can't expect an option for every phone/case combination. If it fits tight enough to hold the naked phone securely it won't accommodate the phone plus case.

3M adhesive strips are way more reliable than sticky tape. Automomile manufactures use it to attach heavy items to vehicles that are subjected to much greater stress than you will ever
subject your phone to (unless you plan on throwing it when the game gets frustrating). Just clean the attachment point with alcohol before applying and you won't need to worry about it coming off under normal use.

I actually think it will look better than the plastic arms wrapping around the naked phone. This way the case and phone will be appear to be an integral part of the device rather than an apparent add on. Also, when I was thinking of ordering one like the original I worried that those arms, being made of rigid plastic and fitting tightly enough to keep the phone from dropping out, would eventually cause visible wear on the phone's body with repeated insertions. That should be no problem with a soft flexible case. Additionally, on the theory that the phone will eventually be replaced, it will be possible to remove the case and fit one for the Note 3, 4 or 5 to the device with a new adhesive strip. All in all it appears to be a pretty clever one size fits all solution for the multitude of devices in the market. I got notification that mine has shipped so I will soon have a better idea of how well it actually fits and will report back.
You make a lot of valid points let us know how you like it.

If you bought one for your original note that WILL WORK! I shoved my note 2 in it to see and it was way to strainful, so I decided to take a lighter to heat one side up to let it adjust to the longer phone, not it fits in perfect nice and tight and no issues at all!
Notice how the right side is angled a little, I can still shake it around and everything and its very sturdy still

I ordered that one, I think same seller name miao miao.
The spen from outside looks 90% same as oem. Only the tip color the white a bit off not as clean as oem, like painted or something.
The second one is the samsung brand on the metal abit different, not in a bad way, just different if you compared side by side.
It is acts exactly like the oem. Where you press the button it acts differently than when you dont press, just like oem.
The problem is .... I cant use it.
It's over sensitive, the screen reacted when the tip is a quarter inch away, and theres no way to adjust the sensitivity since there is no potentiometer inside that we can turn it to adjust like the oem.
Not sure I got the defective one or all like that, but the seller is sending a replacement that I havent got yet.

Maybe I'm too anal, but it's a problem for me, I flip the homescreen to the right, a slight movement on air makes it moves back to left. On note, I draw something, takes the spen off the screen, and its still drawing something while hovering.
My OEM spen, it only works when it touch the screen, and I expect no less than that.
If it truly works like the OEM there should be a way to adjust the knock off spen. There are multiple posts about the adjustments.
I've had two spens and the spen with the eraser and I've had to adjust them all. Lol

That's what I've been trying to find, on oem, under the button I can see the potentiometer, but not on this fake one.
I am visiting Taipei at the moment and was able to purchase the official TF701 case direct from Asus. This case does add a little thickness to the tablet. Unlike the older covers, it is not using the bottom slots. Instead a semi transparent hard plastic back cover snaps in place protecting the entire tablet. All openings align perfectly, power and volume buttons feel responsive. As seem in the picture, you have to open the front cover to charge the tablet, there are no openings on the bottom of the case when closed. Aside from the little added weight and thickness, I am liking the case. One thing to point out is that the case does enable the auto screen on/off function. Screen on somehow takes a while and is not instantaneous, most of you are already experiencing this even without the case.
