Just sold my Xoom so I have some extra cash and went over to best buy to find a case. This was steep at $40 but I wasn't into the kindle fire cases as they all use straps that end up blocking buttons/ports. Its not a perfect fit but it works for lack of something better.

Thanks for the pics. mine should be here shortly. Looks like it works well enough and better than the one I'm using now.
I figure when they start making decent cases for the Nexus 7, I'll cannibalize this. I'm thinking about ripping out the mount bracket thats attached to the folio part and fashioning some kind of car mount with it. Hmm..
Just arrived, wish the corners came up over the bezel just a hair further, but I turned it upside down over the bed and gave it a couple shakes, didn't go anywhere. If it had a magnet in it for a "smart" feature and the corners came up a bit more it would be excellent, as it is it's still a really nice option. Much slimmer than the navitech case I was using.

Yeah it looks like it might fall out because they don't quite get over the top of the corners, but it seems to work well.

I'm not much on "phone-bling" and this is the first time I have even thought about putting a skin on my phone, but while perusing e-bay, I stumbled across this skin and really liked it. It was only $7.95 shipped, so I figured why the hell not.
Once they arrived (Got one for my dad's LG Ally as well), I was pleased to find they are made with the 3M Controltac vinyl and not some el-cheapo stuff you find on other skins. The skins went on without much fuss and (to me) look very nice. Decalskins, of course have several different designs to choose from, but this is the one I liked the most. They also allow you to download a free wallpaper to match.
The skin works fine with my clear snap on case as well. All-in-all I'm pretty happy. Of course it goes without saying, this doesn't offer much in the way of protection. But it does make the phone less slick, and as I said above, it works with the clear cases you can find on Amazon and eBay. NOTE: It does hide the bottom touch key lights, so this probably isn't of use to those running BLN. But it doesn't affect operation at all.
I know it's not everybody's cup of tea, and that's fine, but I figured I'd throw a quick review up for those interested.

I bough one from geliskins and I though it will make it less slippery but it was the opposite. Is it any better?

Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with Gelaskins, but I can tell you, this skin is a lot less slippery than just the stock back. I swear that thing can be used as a non-stick baking sheet.
Been looking for something for the past few days since picking up my N7, been trying all the local markets and shops, and came across this today.
http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=533812
Have to say its a very very nice fit! The N7 fits just perfectly, quite snug in fact!
Also added bonus, the case is a sort of mesh finish, so much sturdier than the usual neoprene cases you get. The lining could do with being a little softer, but other than that its perfect!
Can't find it on CPW, but I bought it in-store for £17.99

Glad to hear it fits! I bought the Belkin Merge Sleeve, but my Nexus 7 hasn't arrived yet.
Yes, agree. Quite nice.
Have a look in TK Maxx (if you have one near you in the UK) lots of Belkin bits going cheap in mine. Got it for £5

I got this sleeve also. Works ok. I find it just a tiny bit too short, so it is quite a squeeze to get the fully closed. I read elswhere that is was a bit too big, so hoped it would make a good extra protection when a thin shell and cover (like the planned Poetic one or Incipio cases) is attached, but I cant see the N7 would fit inside this sleeve with another case attached despite how thin it is.
I have the same, I really like it, I have also a Tpu Case, the S one, on my N7 and it still works with this Sleeve, so I am happy with this combination.
Hey everyone,
Yesterday I received my sleeve/stand
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Faux-Leathe...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item3378898d52
I'm pretty happy about it and I think my search is done. The outside is padded pretty well. The only con is that the case is a bit stiff when you first receive it so it's a little bit hard to slip the Nexus 7 in and out. The stand functionality is also awesome; I don't need something bulky surrounding my device at all times. Here are some pics. Sorry about the bad quality.

Why'd it have to be velcro? This case would be perfect if not for that...
Anyways, thanks for the review... if the case I'm getting doesn't work out well, I'll consider going for one of these.
Is it possible to use the stand with the tablet at the lower angle for typing? From the pictures it looks like you can just flip the case over but I don't know if it will hold.
Another question, you say it's a tight fit at first but do you think there would be room for a N7 with a TPU case to fit into it?
Thanks interesting case. Does it feel cheap?

+1 Is there a low-angle setup, or just the one?
Also, how bulky is it? The ebay listing only mentions the interior dimensions, but is it going to be a huge bulky thing that I now carry around?
Thanks for the tip, this is the closest thing to a usable case that I've seen(other than the Flipsteady, which is exactly what I want but is too expensive). All I want, really, is a stand that's always with my Nexus.

I just found this new case and it looks pretty awesome. I currently have the Moko rotating case which I really like because it doesn't cover the bezel but it lacks the magnetic clasp to keep it closed and is built somewhat cheap IMO. That is what I really like about my RooCase is the build quality. But I hate that if I want to use it in portrait I have to mess around with the Velcro and angles which is annoying when I just want to read (I mainly have been reading comics which are mainly in portrait but some landscape double pages occur). Also having it cover the bezel can sometimes get in the way. This new SecondShells Orbit case seems to fulfill all my needs so I just ordered one. I'm not so sure it has a stylus holder but that's not a deal breaker for me. I'll post some pics once I get it. :victory:

You can get the same case on Amazon or eBay for half that price m8.

Just checked. Same case on amazon is the same price as from the OP's post. Where did you see it for half the price?

Yeah I searched pretty good too. I only found one at the same price with a shipping fee on amazon when you can get free shipping directly from their website.
So I recently ordered a supcase on Amazon and while I like the way it protects my nexus overall, I can't stand how difficulty it is to swipe down my notification panel or press the soft keys because it covers the bezel. Do any users have any experienced with any cases around the same price that don't happen to cover the bezel?

I didn't search for a better price, but this design is the best on the market for any tablet I've used. They're all the same with a different name punched into the cover, except there's one variation that has a hand strap. Get this. If you search, you can probably find it for about $5-10.
I have that one with a hand strap, moko is punched in the front.
I really like feels good, device feels secure in the holders. Slim and sexy.

After owning 5-6 different cases, the link below contains the absolute best one I've ever used. It's a little pricey (35 bucks), but hop on the chat and ask if they have any coupon codes. They gave me one when I ordered, which surprised me. Only shaved off 3-4 bucks, but it's better than nothing.
At any rate, it's the best one I've used. Very secure, well designed, nice quality.

Speck is great but buy it on Amazon for $20.

Noreve make the best cases. Pricey though.

I'm happy with this one. The hand strap is useful to tuck your usb-otg drive into so its not flopping around.
