Official Nexus7 Case?

So Google has yet to release the Nexus 7 Case.. but its for sale at Sams Club?
I don't have a Sams Club membership, and I do not plan on support Walmart anymore than my wife already does...
Anyone know of a case, that is similar to the "Official" Nexus 7 case, but it available somewhere I do not need a membership?
I like the small/tight feature of that case. I can not stand a big bulky case that adds to the profile of the device.. I like how I can slip it in my back pocket, and every case I've found in the stores removes that ability.

As far as i know the travel case is for sale but the premium case is not yet released although pictures leaked

Seems dumb to me that they would wait so long to release the case. I'm holding out for an otterbox case.

The case listed on the Google Play store as "coming soon" is what you are referring to as a 'travel case' ... have not seen anything about a premium case.

You can order the travelcase at the asus website. I cant order from the play store so dont know about that. Premiumcase details are here:

I bought a proper Nexus case from Carphone Warehouse earlier today....it's kinda like a grey rubbery case with a flap that covers the screen...

Was looking at he case but decided against it on two things,1 there is no stand to prop up for watching films etc. 2 The cover flaps around so all kinds of crap can get on the screen if left in my bag.Shame as the rest of it and the way it holds the nexus is sweet

Was that the one made by Asus? Most Gamestops carry it, I looked at one today. Wasn't impressed with the feel, I'm sure that would slip out of my hands at some point.

looks like it. i've modded mine by cutting the useless flap off and keeping the back portion of it intact.
the flap if you join two ends up, actually then doubles up as a nice stand to lean the tablet against to watch films.

Big pockets.

Yeh must get bigger trousers as there is no way in hell mine fits in my back pocket, Plus walking around town is like an advert saying please steal from me in your back pocket.

I also bought mine two days ago.
Only available in blue and pinks; None of the greys where in stock.
The grip is nice and if you flip the cover, the tablet stands in landscape easily and quite stable.
I attach some pictures of mine.

How well does it prop itself up for watching stuff

Well, it is quite reliable if the surface is flat.
I will try to take a picture of it tomorrow.

Seidio case info

Well i asked and there is a Seidio case in the works. There is no ETA for it which sucks. Its a active case with a multifunction cover.
I have used their products for a while and im happy with them just hope it comes out soon because i need something.

seidio cases are pretty good but they usually take much longer time to comeout..

I had one of these for my kindle fire and loved it. I'm getting by with a cheap case for my N7 until the Seidio case comes out.

I'll be keeping my eye out for this also. I've had seidio active cases on mine and my wifes nexus s's for over a year and a half now. They are great and have held up well. I like how they feel in the hand with their grippy silicon like material and they give the device great protection.

Was on their website and they have one case available, without a cover unfortunately.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

They are still not shipping but i saw it. The other one should be the same as the one in the picture but with a cover of course.
Debating if i want to go with the regular active case and a screen protector or the other case.
For those that havent used seidio before. Its kinda like a tpu case. Rubber with a hard plastic shell over it.
I have used them on my phones for a while now and im happy with these cases.

I love my surface case for my phone. The material they use is perfect. It is grippy for your fingers yet slippery in you pocket.

Pics of the other case are up. I like it. Im getting it. The best case to date in my opinion.. Still coming soon but shouldnt be long now

A 'Surface' would be smaller, but it looks good. First to market will get my money. Otterbox is going to lose out it seems.

I tried otterbox with my phone and i didn't like it. I sometimes need to take the case off and that is a pain with otterbox

When I asked them they said there aren't current plans to release a Surface case for the N7, just an Active case.

Hi there! Did you end up getting the case? If so, how do you like it? Did you get the model with the cover? If so how bulky does the unit become with the cover attached? (Either on the front or back).
It looks like there's a recessed section on the cover (to make room for the adjustable stand), but I'm worried that it will add too much bulk to the profile of the N7.
Thanks!

Its not out yet unfortunately. I am definitely ordering this when it comes out. I have the Gumdrop case now, which is nice but it does not have the same viewing options like this one. I cant wait for this to come out.

Yeah i have been checking but its still " coming soon" i will be getting the one with the cover. Ill do a review and post pics asap.
Anyone else is welcome to do the same if they get it before me.

Suppose to be coming out later today, I just called and they said to call back in two hours. Plus they have responded to my facebook post and said blue and black 10/15. Red 10/17.

Just add this to my list of growing cases and money spent.

Ditto lol...I pulled the trigger on a Noeve case, and it was about as expensive as my treegloo, but I cancelled it on the this verge of this case being released this week.

Just ordered mine too. I've been waiting awhile for a brand I trusted, thanks Seidio!
I think some of the other more popular case makers missed the boat on the N7.

Nexus 7 Dummy Model

Does anyone know of a place where I can get a dummy plastic model replica of the nexus 7? I need it for fiberglassing a panel with the nexus 7 in it. I see plenty of ipad minis (unfortunately) but no others.

Nope, sorry. But, after 100+views I wonder if you'd be easier making one, given what you're interested in. The measurements are pretty well established and I've seen a number of threads with people designing and building, as I'm sure you have. Good luck, I'll be interested to see the results

It looks like you could just tape it up? The install work us around 5:30 into the video.

Sorry, maybe not the best example but this is for the nexus 7. They did an iPad mini with a fully fiber glass back as well.

I could probably make you one out of wood or plastic.

Why not wrap your Nexus 7 in cellophane wrap, then use aluminum foil, as you would in car audio fiberglassing? :thumbup:
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Yeah I have been watching the Amplified series and getting ides from them. I'm just afraid to taping my nexus 7 up and somehow messing it up while making the fiberglass. I think I have two options.
1. Make a crude model out of wood.
2. Buy a busted nexus 7 and tape it up.
I just sucks that there are plenty of ipad mini dummy models but not even one plastic model of a nexus 7.

Or you can wrap your nexus with few layers of aluminum, use some paper/plastic tape to make it stable enough, pull it off and fill it with hot wax.
Let it cool down, remove the aluminum wrap , cut the imprefections and even sand it down to make it smooth.
it should be good enought to have a model for your fiberglass work

Nexus 7 keyboard + neat casing

Found this keyboard/case for the Nexus 7 on eBay if anybody has it could you please detail some pros and cons about it? I'd like to buy one.

That's a generic system. NOT a "Nexus 7" keyboard and case. If you like it, buy it. My neighbor has one (looks identical) for his Coby 7" tablet. Myself, I don't like it. I'd rather use bluetooth.
This is the one he bought. Looks the same to me.

Had one for my first 7" tablet a couple of years ago, cheap nasty keyboard and bulky case though the case gave quite good protection. The keyboard died after a few months.

thanks for the feedback folks!

some people got this case.... theres a thread on it somewhere here....just search for it

I bought one...not all bad..you will need a USB on the go witch is always nice to have anyway. but the dig draw back is it will allow the tablet to slide out the sides...what I did was but a cheap snap on case and super glue to the lid that did the trick for me but I don't use it much

Broken n7..what can I do with it?

Well the title pretty much says it all.. I dropped my old 16gb n7 on a trailer chain at work and borked the screen. I replaced it with a 32gb shortly after xmas and now the other is sitting on my night stand collecting dust, is there any thing I can do with it? As in life after death scenarios, or is my only option keep it or try and find a buyer?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I'd try and fix it and maybe sell I think that you can buy a new or refurbished screen and if you can get it fixed and are not asking to much for it I might be interested GBY
Sent from my Nexus 7

New digitizer costs the same as a used 8 gig one of sell it for parts or keep it incase you need to replace anything else later.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

That's the problem. There going for so cheap now it is not worth fixing. I would just try and sell it for parts or hang on to it in case you need parts later on.

Yeah sell it for parts, the 8gb used fully working go for about 150$
Should have got a 16 not the 8. Like no space left
