I'm just looking for a case to protect it from sand when I carry it in my bag. Would the first one do the trick, or is it an actual case case?
The are just generic cases or sleeves for any 7" tab. You can get a simple sleeve type case on ebay for under two dollars with free shipping from hong kong that will do the trick.

Yeah,... NO! I'll be a little more comfortable keeping someone from North America in a job... not political, just self preservation.

Same brand from ebay.
Couldn't find it for $2. Difference from amazon seems to be $3 less and no shipping costs. They're mailing it from China so it'll take two weeks, which means it'll arrive at about the same time too :laugh:
I'm actually a bit concerned about standard 7" cases. The nex7 has a fairly large bezel. I have a kindle fire (190 mm tall) in a marware stand case from amazon. The marware case is an excellent case!
I also have a tab2 7.0 which is 3.7mm taller (193.7). The tab2 fits well in that particular case also but it is a little harder to stretch the clips around it. The nex7 is 198.5mm and I'm sure that a standard 7" sleeve would work fine. I'm just concerned that a case similar to the stand-style marware case may not house the nex7 tablet very well.
The nex7 is only about a quarter inch larger than the fire, but it makes me a bit apprehensive about buying a case that I cannot try the tablet in. I'm hoping that the "official" nexus 7 case will be available soon. It looks nice!
The way how popular Nexus 7 seems to be already, there will be many great cases made specially for it. I'm going to go for a pink one made out of faux leather for 4-5 dollar. Before that, it'll just have to rest in my silk evening bag which doesn't see much use anyway.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0076COM9K/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00
Here's the cheap case I'm using with my N7.
Oooh! A lot of these look pretty nice. Since I can't post links yet (YET) I suggest hitting up Amazon and searching "nexus 7 nuvur". Apparently they have quite a few cases, almost 6 pages I think, and I ordered one. I'll letcha guys know how it comes out if you'd like.
For now, I'm just waiting for the nice Asus ones to come out. The ones that remind me of the iPad smart covers. haha

It was available, but they removed it temporarily I guess. According to the representative I spoke to on the phone, they should be back Monday.
Oh, and also, the case I bought was $8.30 (give or take on the pennies) shipped. According to the image quality, it looks fairly nice. Apparently, mine is named MDK2G2R1.
I certainly hope that in light of the recent Apple injunction that we will get to use our accessories. I read Google terms of the pre-order. I believe that if the product its barred from US sales, Google is not obligated to fulfill existing orders.

Wait... so you're saying the cases might not ship... or the devices themselves?!
I'm saying that Apple might very well ask for an injunction barring sale of the tablet in the US. The fact that they were granted an injunction on the Galaxy Nexus phone (only the version available directly from Google with 4.1 Jelly Bean) based on the "Siri-like" Google Now, means that Apple may ask for, and be granted an injunction against our tablet.

That's what I'm scared of.
And a free case won't be worth the extra month or two of waiting.
I wouldn't be surprised if that REALLY happened

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.

I got this case-

and this screen protector-
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008EO263I/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01
They'll both be here Monday, which is when my Nexus 7 (16 GB) will be delivered too. I have and have had products from both Moko and ArmorShield, and both are excellent quality.
I think I'm going to buy that case. For $6.99, it will hold me over until a better one comes around. I don't like it for permanent use.
I do want a screen protector too, but I only want the non-spray self-sticking (static cling?) ones. I bought one of those for my wife's iPad and it worked great. I bought a spray-and-stick one for my SGT8.9, and it sucked (Zag).

Well, MoKo makes good stuff, it should last a while, I think they are just doing the deep discount to get in on the Nexus 7 frenzy. I agree on the Zagg's, I don't like them either, but ArmorShield, Skinomi and BodyGuardz are all good ones, they all make dry apply and wet apply. I usually go for dry apply on phones, like my Galaxy Note i717, but on bigger things like tablets the wet apply ones are easier to install and work with, at least for me. The ArmorShield's are really thin, don't yellow and are not sticky like the Zagg's, which is one reason why I dislike Zaggs too.
Just ordered that case as well. Can't beat that price with prime shipping.

I ordered the case a few days ago and already got it. It's actually quite nice and more indicative of its real price and not the $7 I paid for it.
I ordered a moko one that has the magnetic sleep/wake function. Sort of a gamble because there is only one pic, but it looks like it can function as a stand as well.

Right on! I have been pretty impressed with their stuff, Skinomi's are a little sticky, and Zagg's are ultra sticky of course. With the ArmorShields, the little imperfections will settle out over the next couple of days, and if for some reason it goes crazy, they will just send you another set out.

Update-Yep
Dear buyer:
Sorry for another intrusion but we just came across this report and
thought we have to share it with you:
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/White-Nexus-7-Case-Stain-Clean-Black-Nexus-7,16302.html
With the same porous plastic material, we are concerned that the black
back on the retail version could also be susceptible to dye to some
extend. It may be embarrassing but we have to admit that we did not
have this issue in mind when our fist batch of Nexus cases was made.
Although the case has NOT left any mark on neither of the white or
black Nexus 7 we have after a short period of normal use, we would
rather be overcautious and have more intensive tests done before we
can comfortably let you use the case, even as a temporary solution. We
definitely could not afford to have you as beta-testers on this issue
with your brand new tablets and would suggest you hold off using the
case until you get further confirmation from us or a replacement case,
hopefully within 5-7 days.You can be assured all our future shipments
will be fully compatible with Auto wake/sleep feature and free of any
staining problems guaranteed. You will get to choose any style you
prefer from our whole selection of Nexus cases as the free
replacement.
I understand most of you will get your Nexus 7 today and I am really
sorry to disappoint you with this message but please do excise caution
if you have to use something else on your Nexus. Again, I apologize
for the inconvenience and would appreciate your understanding and
patience in this process of getting the right protection for your
Neuxs. This is what we do and we will do it right for you.
Please also let us know if you have any comments or suggestions.Thanks, Jim

I know, I'm shocked too. Question: you just ordered the one case in your OP, right?
I ask because I ordered TWO cases from this seller. The one you did, plus the $12.99 smart case they came out with on Sunday. I wanted to make sure that this email was about the first case, not the second one (or both).
I am really shocked that they would have gone so far to help their customers for something that cost $6.99 shipped. I was actually going to return that case, since I got the better one, but I think I'm going to keep it just out of support of the seller.

Would really like a Incipio feather case for my 7 along with a smart cover..

These cases are amazing. I've Put some cash aside for when these are released. Even the international shipping seems reasonable. I'm surprised there isn't more mention of these on the forum rather than all the cheap plether bulky rubbish everyone seems to like! No accounting for taste!
Any updates on this?
I got this response from them yesterday. I did ask about which specific cases might be available but no details yet.

Thank you for your follow up email. We do have plans to be making cases for the Nexus 7, however they’re currently in development so we do not currently have an estimated release date for the cases. I apologize for any inconveniences, however if you have any other questions, feel free to let us know.

Maybe it's because lots of friggin people want to friggin buy them?
...or maybe it's because one size fits all and so it's easier to get one to market early.
No company can set up, tool up and manufacture quality products at the drop of a hat never mind them wanting to make sure there's going to be a sustainable market for it.
I realise that moaning is one of the US national pastimes but these forums are international and believe me it gets very old very quickly having to trawl past all these whinging posts to try and find the good stuff.

i agree with this. i also believe google announced the tablet and released it 2-3 weeks later and didn't work with anyone on accessories. perhaps it was to generate sales of their case, but the consumer got screwed. i'm not a fan of the asus case. from day one i wanted a leather case and over a month later, i'm still limited in my choices becasue companies are still working on their cases. i emailed marware last week and they still said 4-6 weeks.
OMG can this come any sooner?? :crying:
$30 for a sleeve? Are you guys seriously melting over this?

Incipio makes decent cases, but they're always way overpriced. I got the N7 because of its value, and this is going to carry over with my accessories for it. If I wanted to overspend, I would have gotten an iPad.

Seidio listing "Google Nexus 6" in requests area on site. Cases/Accessories to come?
Awhile back during my investigation on the Next Nexus phone I went searching through Accessory/Case makers hoping that they would give me any information/potentially leak information on the Nexus 6.
Ultimately I found Seidio referencing the Google Nexus 6 in their requests page http://www.seidioonline.com/Articles.asp?ID=303
Hopefully they will be releasing cases soon for the N6, what would you guys like to see? Personally I am hoping for one of their durable cases since the one I had for my N4 protected it for the entire time I had the device. Hopefully we will not have to wait long for cases to come out!
seidio drives me crazy. iphone 6 comes out and they have every case under the sun ready to ship the day the damn thing is ANNOUNCED. google releases nexus info (including specs) and you get crickets from them. here, fill out this request form and wait
Moto x 2014 is listed in request area too, but they've confirmed on Facebook to me that there is no current plan to support.
I hate apple, but they are king of accessories. Guaranteed millions of sheep will buy their phones.
UPDATE
I was able to contact Seidio awhile ago on the matter and today they responded! https://plus.google.com/+LouKohn/posts/bR1i8TmdFQy
From post reply:
"While we don't have any finalized plans for accessories for the Nexus 6 yet, I will be sure to forward the interest in these products on to our product development team."
Hopefully it means we will be seeing something come down the pipe in the near future for the N6!
So just like the note 3, cases will come out 3 months later.
i find it fascinating that i have to tell a company to make cases for a phone that nobody is able to keep in stock. sold out on 2 different days via google in 0.5 seconds and today sold out on motorola's site in less than 5 minutes. and all this at $650-$700. if they need me to request that they make cases for it then they are incredibly stupid and don't deserve my business...

Being sold out because you sold 5 million in a couple days is different than being sold out because Google doesn't know how to do retail launches. I would imagine it is quite difficult to gauge how much interest there will be in this phone after the initial sales.
perhaps, but it doesnt change the fact that this is a flagship release and their lack of support is dubious. take a look at their site. they offer cases for just about every phone in the universe on there. but nexus 6 which is launching on all 4 carriers they have to wait and see? beyond lame

I like how you mixed fact with personal opinion.

Yea they already missed the window to get buyers...all the pre-orders are shipping soon and they don't even have products ready yet.
There goes 1000s of sales. Poof. I'm one of them. Got a Moko holster/case for $2USD and not buying a Seidio for this device.

I got the $1.95 Moko, and the case seems solid! But I hate the Moko holster with a passion. If Seidio did come out with N6 cases, I'd buy one just to use the spring-loaded holster.

Totally agree I love the spring loaded holsters. Any chance of best buy putting out that platinum brand that has them or are they seidio?

I didnt even know Best Buy sold decent holsters lol You have to let ME know if they get them!
I have only been particular to otterbox and seidio. Hopefully Seidio comes out soon (since otterbox hates nexus for some reason)

I will if I see one.
Seidio did the same thing at the Nexus 5 launch.
I'll still buy a surface case when it's released. I always do

I have used the Platinum brand case from Best Buy a few times on some of my older phones(it's been a couple of years). Those were just re-branded Seidio Surface cases. That's not a bad thing though. The case and holster were much cheaper at Best Buy than on Seidio's website. So, unless it's different now, you won't see a Nexus 6 Platinum case without seeing a Nexus 6 Seidio case first.

Good to know, thanks! I like the Seidio line of cases.
Not yet... but this page was updated a few days ago.
