I would love to see Speck make a Nexus 7 FitFolio Case so I have submitted a request to do so, if you like the idea please go vote for it as per there feedback email the more votes they get the more likely they will be to build the case.
Here is an example of there current FitFolio for Kindle Fire which I would like them to model the Nexus 7 after.
I'm looking forward to this too. Speck already confirmed via Twitter that they are making it!

Really this is what I got from there team when I emailed them last night:
"Thank you for contacting us. I took a look and there is no word on if we are making a case for the Google Nexus 7 at this time. You can submit your idea for a case for it to our design team! You can submit your idea to our Feedback page found on our homepage on the far left side of the screen. You can submit the idea for voting and the more votes it gets, the more likely our team will be to consider it. Please take a moment to do so!

Well, if they want you to design it it, I'd personally add in magnectic latching system as well.

Sorry that was not my intention
It looks quite difficult (read: impossible) to press the physical buttons on the kindle fire version, and with the nexus 7 having the buttons on an angle, it seems like it would be MORE impossible on a model fit for the N7. I do hope they do something about that before releasing one, but I agree that I would definitely hunt one down if they made one
Man, I would get it too. Too bad I ordered the TreeGloo case already . It's not coming til Early August. This Speck one if made, would come even later though..
I'd be all over that in red. I'm gonna have more backup cases than I know what to do with I think. Everytime I buy one something else comes out that I want. Fortunately neither I have bought have cost very much.
+1 on the Speck.
The Speck looks like JUST what im looking for. Hopefully they make it!
If only the cutouts for buttons on the KF case were the same i'd buy it...
I just spoke to 1 of their representatives via live chat and she said that they will be available in august. And to check the website later on.

I wonder if the magnet could be used as the closure rather than that strap thing since there is a magnet in the nexus. Then this would be the case i want.
Nice. Another good one other than Marware.
Definately the sort of thing im looking for too, did you ask for a slit at the back where the speaker is too?

I think they would have to include two different magnets for that since the screen sensor is right above the pogo pins and in order to keep it closed you would want another one on the far side of the tablet at the edge of the cover. It could be done but I doubt they will go that route.
Woot it looks like it worked I just saw this posted on there twitter feed
"Speck Products @speckproducts
@sbgmag We will be making a Folio style case for Nexus 7. Be on the lookout in a month or two!"

Hey all, just picked up one of these $4 neoprene cases from Ebay and figured I'd give my 2 cents for any others looking to grab one.
(edit: err, can't post links yet. but it is the one with the SAMSUNG logo on it, NOT the one with the android image.)
After using the Silicone Amzer case from Amazon for about two weeks, I begun to realize that I wasn't fully enjoying the aesthetics of the Nexus S. I found myself frequently taking it out of the silicone case just to see how shiny it looked all by itself
Received this neoprene pouch two days ago from Ebay (a HK dealer, it took about 10 days to arrive), and am much happier with it. Though I am not OCD about keeping a phone pristine, I am pretty careful with my devices. This pouch allows me to keep it protected when not in use (e.g. in my pocket, in my car, or on my desk), but still allows me to fully enjoy the unencumbered design of the phone.
Anyway, here are some photos. Feel free to ask any questions. For $4, this thing is perfect. Ideally, in the future when more cases come out, I'd like to grab something a little higher quality.
pm me the link I would like to but one. Thanks

Sweet. For future reference, searching "nexus s neoprene" on Ebay will get it to show.
I picked one up after everyone said it was the same as the N1 sleeve. For the price it is definitely a nice little case, but the quality is a drop from the N1 sleeve (not a huge deal, but not what I was expecting based on the comments in the other thread).

I like this guy. Deadmau5 pic and demanding genuine leather! I'm hoping for a case from these guys: http://www.vajacases.com/ - Got one for my PlayBook last year and it's awesome.
Shame they got shipped and delivered to the UK first yet there are very few accessories released here yet. Will be a while until we have a genuine leather case with the 'smart' magnetic bit.
that case has been on sale for years. it's so ugly. Giant leather bondage strap holding down your nexus 7? ugly.
I picked up a leather smart case similar to this one at Big Lots for $8.00. High quality material ! They have lots of 7" case options there for a budget price......scrarch resistant screen protectors , stylus pens , bluetooth speakers etc....
BigLots. com serach the left hand side by ELECTRONICS to see their tablet stuff.
I say patience is a virtue. We all know the tablet for what it is. You either like it or you don't. Most of us have already pre--ordered and are waiting for them to arrive right now.
As far as the caes go, I'd rather feel what they're like in my hand. Via pictures of cases online, 10 look great for ipad and other devices, however only 1-2 actually feel and function as nice as they seem to be described and pictured online.(not cheap feeling, or feeling like they'l literally fall apart, lacking features cleverly not pictured, etc.

For me none of the cover/cases on Amazon (I was at the local Best Buy to take a look at 7" stuff) are aesthetically pleasing. I ordered a "padded pouch" off Etsy.com and I'm gonna get a sturdy "case" when one becomes available.

Wow, those Vaja cases look cool. Way too pricey though.
you lost me at vegan leather.
I loved the case on my Kindle Fire, as it was super thin, didn't add much weight to it, and still acted as a stand. So far, all the ones that have been released are very thick and do more than I will need. Are there any comparable cases to this one at the moment? Thanks!
I've searched far and wide, but have not seen anything similar yet. It reminds me alot of the incase case I have for my iPad.
Can't wait for something like this to come out, but I have a feeling it will be a while.
I mentioned in another thread that I emailed them asking about their plan
and this is their reply:
"Hello,

hopefully they make a green one. even better if they have the android robot logo hehe.
That's probably the first N7 case that I've seen that I liked. I live in the USA and I don't know how the price translates to dollars but it seems high for me.

The case isn't an official Nexus 7 case, and I don't know how well it would fit the Nexus 7, as it was nicely snug on the Kindle Fire. I'm just hoping they release a similar one for the Nexus 7.:fingers-crossed:

This isn't that, but it's nicer than most other ones I've seen so far. Seriously thinking about ordering one.

From what I had read, this is a pre-order, so they probably haven't taken a picture with the Nexus 7 yet.
I have attempted to make contact with the maker to see if I can get a more recent photo with the N7 instead of the Kindle Fire.
They have not responded yet.
Please keep us posted

Rev, please keep us posted. Looks like a good non-bulky case.
They keep changing the price... I pre-ordered that exact case when it was $4.99+ free shipping and expected to ship on August 3rd. The other day it was $8.99 and $5 shipping, and now it's $6.95+ $5 shipping and not expected to ship until August 15th! I might have to cancel the order though, I can't wait that long to get a case.
Just got an email saying that it shipped. If anyone here is interested, I can do a quick review when it arrives...

English is made up of made up words all the time, enough people use it, it gets incorporated into it's vocabulary eventually.
Example; okay, o.k. aka oll korrect... It's not a "word", although it's used world wide and has an accepted meaning..
Hopefully this is a sign of more official accessories to come.

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?

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!

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.
