After trying several cases for my Nexus 7, knowing there aren't any specifically for the Nexus 7 at any retail stores, this was the best one I've come across. It will hold me over until an official case comes out (I've kept the receipt so I can return it). I just can't have such an awesome piece of tech sitting around without a case and without the ability to use it as a stand for viewing. The leather is genuine and the case is simply gorgeous. I love the way if holds the tablet without the clamps/rubberized holding mechanism actually rubbing or touching the bezel. All ports are accessible while it is in the case and the power/volume buttons are very easily accessible.
Found it at Fry's this morning on the way to work but it will set you back $59.99. One of the best portfolio stand cases I've ever owned for any of my devices. High end.

None, which is hard to say about most cases. I've always had something I've disliked about a case but have dealt with it. I've also always went for the cheaper the better in the past. This case is truly a "you get what you pay for" case. The way it holds the very edges of the tablet is my favorite part. It looks like it is floating in the case and the parts that hold the tablet in place never really become part of the view. The access to all buttons and inputs as well as the quality of the leather are great. The actual stand aspect allows for infinite viewing angles and never feels cheap, like the stand portion is going to collapse at any moment.
This case looks really nice. I personally want a colored case though and not the standard brown/black. Also, I'd rather pay a bit more for a case that I really like and thats going to last me a while then buy a cheap case that I'm not that into, deciding that Im not satisfied with it and having to buy more. So if I see something that I fall in love with then I don't mind pulling the trigger as long as its not 100+

Nice. It fits perfectly? Usually cases with the plastic clips are pretty picky about what they'll work with. If so, I'm thinking about buying one of these gtab 2 7.0 cases and adding a "smart cover" magnet to it.

Here's how well it fits Very securely! I'm actually shaking the case while I hold it upside down. Talk about making your heart jump a bit!
are you sure? I tried the same case and it doesn't fit too well, but its the best one
the corners are still lodged

I just pulled the edges on the 4 rubber ends out slightly, if that makes sense, and when the tablet was in place, they wrapped perfectly around each corner of the tablet. It takes a tiny bit of "fitting", but once it's on, it's all good.

I had to bring it to work! It definitely is my new baby. Tethered 4G connection from my Galaxy Nexus Streaming music while getting my work on.

Thanks for sharing, that case looks made to order on the Nexus 7. :good:
How about the speaker in the back, is it covered or are there holes for it?
There are no holes for the speaker. I did a test at max volume and I have no idea why but it sounds louder with it in the case then out of the case. It could be the way it's configured with the speaker near flush but with a decimeter or so gap. I know with my phones and tablets that they tend to sound louder when they are angled near a wall and I seem to get the same effect with this case.

The company has a case specifically for the N7, but no pictures of the N7 in a case. I'm guessing their N7 is waiting to be delivered too. Haha. Anyway, I really like the floating look, and will probably be getting this one.

People on other threads have been linking to Cases listed on Amazon and Ebay with that very similar look (they probably all use the same stock photos) with prices ranging from $10 to $20. Even cheaper.

I don't know, may be not the same quality but it's hard to judge from photos, or even the prizes.
Only way to judge is hand-on experience like the OP's case, his case looks good also because when the back holds on to four corners only, whereas these ones are a bit 'uneven' (when viewed in portrait mode) : p
I would perfer something that holds on to the edges of Nexus 7 only, like the Official Case or this:

Lol I have comments but I'll keep them to myself as they're not very PC. At least there are companies out there that realize girls buy gadgets too.
well, if you are not in it for the value they do look sort of nice.
i was in a store a couple hours ago to buy something, didn't buy any of these stuff but managed to snap a pic of these accessories
Nothing screams of insecurity like a 700 dollar purse, or a 300 case for a tablet. I guess its the female equivalent of middle aged men buying convertible sports cars to try and reclaim some of their youth. I'm sure plenty of us have the means, but seriously, spending that much money on a prada tablet cover puts one in the same category of doucheness that Paris Hilton aspired to, and achieved.
don't waste your money
lets keep these post informative. If something makes your life more enjoyable then who are you to decide if it is worth it. So she saved some money by buying a very capable device and now wants to use that saved money to buy accessories. My computer is way more than i ever need but i love it and it makes me happy. I have been on this forum forever but still no links can be posted by me so. just do a google search "designer cases nexus 7". then switch to images so it is easier to discern what is out there, there about 10 or so that may fit your needs

let's not rain on other people's parade just because you don't like to spend money on trivial things
if the person makes good money there isn't anything wrong with buying more expensive things
i won't buy the case myself but since the person i know who bought one does fairly well herself i dont see anything wrong either
if would be silly for someone who lives in the ghetto living on welfare to buy one of these though

I don't ever make it in those kinds of stores, they'd probably kick me out for not having enough money to pass their "test". They don't even have stores that expensive up here anyway lol Prada, Gucci, etc. are mainly status symbols, and while I admit they are built welI and beautiful, I can get similarly nice cases for 100 or just under 100. I would also bet that those "Elite" cases are out of reach of most posters on here.

They have a leopard skin and a wallet-purse-lookin' case. LoL!!
And I'm sorry, but I think it's very stupid to buy an accessory that cost more than the product it's self. I don't care how much money you have. But maybe that's just because I'm a guy. I mean, really? And it's just 1 thing. It's not like you're getting a prada-case, some perfume, and a dozen roses. I wonder if my mom thinks like that?
anything stylish colorful or just Target to women add 50 to 100 percent to the price. And the sad part is most of them are less quality then that of the plain looking items.. This be a Nexus 7 case or a pair of shoes.It cost so much more to be a Woman .
I Have seen some cases with women cbut nothing totally functional..Soon i hope for now i have a silly generic black case to protect my screen while in my purse. Of course its a tough job dangerous place in there..

Uh, you clearly haven't seen the dangers in my bags. But I concur, I shouldn't have to choose between cuteness and quality. At least I'm handy enough at sewing to make my own sleeve, and I can use whatever pattern I can find! But custom cases would be nice (I would be all over skinit if they did any of my products). Seriously, though, a sleeve is two seams down the sides and a drawstring or flap on top, anyone could do that. -Ara

Define "Quality" because aside from a single expensive slab of leather, there's NOTHING here. This case offers nearly ZERO protection against, well, anything. The damned tablet is literally held in with STRINGS FFS! Not good ones either, nooo. They are elastic bungee and will allow the thing to hit the ground under impact. Then they want you to bend it backwards and TIE IT THAT WAY and call this a stand? LOL. Now, sure the leather is nice looking. But to call this a "case" is probably illegal in several countries. Let's call it what it is. It's a fashion accessory. Nothing more. Now if a fashion accessory is worth more to you than protecting your device, then by all means spend 70 bucks on it. It's a free country. I want you to have whatever you want, and pay as much as you want to for it. But don't come in here talking down to everyone else that didn't buy this case like we are dumb and are gonna have to replace ours over and over while you, in your infinite wisdom, will not. This just makes you a douche bag, Our cases might be less expensive, but every one of those 5 "Chinese Knockoffs" (as you call them)will protect this device better and for longer than this ridiculous attempt at a case. Does that make you dumb for having bought one? Only if you labor under the delusion that because you paid so much for it, it's somehow a better quality case and will protect your tablet better. Because it won't. Not even close. It's just pretty. Pretty useless.

The replacement cord I think is for the closing mechanism to the case. That would make sense I think.
I bought the case for my wife's nook based on the look, quality and yes protection of it. The nook is already covered with a skin from decalgirl.com and a screen protector, and using this cover does indeed offer some protection. No it's not a Seidio case, it's a case that is pretty much a wallet lol. But the protection I speak of is the protection of the screen from impact if something would happen to fall upon the screen.
But everyone has their opinion, which is fine, but why the hate. If you don't like it, move on. There are many other choices out there besides this if this doesn't float your boat.
Exactly. Never said there was anything wrong with buying it. Just saying that simply because it's 10x the price of all these others does not mean in any way that it's "Worth" 10x as much in protection or durability. So people acting like it is are only kidding themselves.
I was going to buy one instantly, then I saw that the tablet was held in by strings and elastic cords, and while its stunning on the outside, it looks cheap as **** when the cover opens. I wish they had a better looking system to secure the tablet, that's atrocious.

I've had a couple of their cases and trust, they're anything but cheap looking and feeling. I bought mine used from other forum members, so I paid half, but that's a QUALITY case. They don't charge those prices for nothing. They can charge that because it's a great case and there's a market for them. You won't pay it, fine. They are supposed to have an old world feel to them. The leather and wool on the inside is something.

If you watch the video on the Oberon website it shows that the tablet is held in quite securely in the case. Also they give you extra strings to close the latch so if you can go a year without having to replace it I'd consider that a non issue.
I'm interested in hearing any reviews for this case

I wouldn't care if it would be three times the cost of the device, I would definitely be buying that! :laugh:
No I don't belive cost = quality (far from it actually). Didn't mean to start anything but I do think a lot of thought went into these. The video was very informative about the design choices (which is what it always comes down to).
As far as protection my opinion is that as long as the cover is closed the edges of the leather will absorb more than most without transferring the shock to the tablet. If it falls with the cover open there is a greater chance of it breaking (just like the rest)

I was wondering if someone made a carry case with a shoulder strap would you guys use it? I would and I'm looking for one but can't find anything that doesn't look like a girlie pocketbook.
As a man that is engaged to be married to the most amazing woman on earth, I already carry one. It has a strap, it's colorful and pretty and I hate it. But her purse works. I bought a cheap case for The Seven and she carries it when we are out and about. I am still fighting for a man cave...so good luck getting your own man bag

Thats would be ok. but i am not sure i would trust that with my stuff. I do like their classic messenger bag but i would really like to see more pics and maybe a hands on before trusting my stuff in a bag company that seems to be going for looks. the 5.11 and maxpedition bags are built like tanks. very strong material build.
The integrated bottle opener is a nice touch though.
I like the bags from Rickshaw. I just haven't been able to justify the cost yet. Would love to grab a Mini Commuter.

adamhlj: if you want to trust your stuff to a cheap bag like that then go ahead. thinking like that means you were ripped off by buying a nexus tablet as opposed to a emedia tablet. If you want to buy the kia of bags then go ahead. I'll stick with the lexus of bags and it will last longer.
besides I bought my bag on overstock sale for $50. I'd rather pay twice as much for something that will last longer then 3 months.

50 bux for a nice bag isn't bad. I have used Oakley sandbags in the past and was good, but I kinda like the 5.11 Pack you posted. I may get one of these. Thanks for the info
i started carrying a man purse (tumi t-tech) since i got my first ipad
the bag fits a 10 inch tablet or a 7 incher with some accessories
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...rh=n:1036592,k:shoulder+bag+tumi+t-tech&ajr=0
it looks something like this one, mine is 3-4 years old at least since i got it when ipad first came out
I got a murse (man purse) to carry my rooted Nook Color about 2 years ago. And it went with me everywhere until I got the N7.
It holds my N7, wallet, keys, phone, over the ear headphones, cleaning cloth, extra charger and cord, etc.
But, OTOH, I am old and get away with it!!!!:laugh::laugh:
Oh yeah,,,,made by Eagle Creek.

adamhlj: if you want to trust your stuff to a cheap bag like that then go ahead. thinking like that means you were ripped off by buying a nexus tablet as opposed to a emedia tablet. If you want to buy the kia of bags then go ahead. I'll stick with the lexus of bags and it will last longer.
besides I bought my bag on overstock sale for $50. I'd rather pay twice as much for something that will last longer then 3 months.

Whoa seriously there is nothing wrong with UTG (under the gun). They make a lot of crap and a lot of quality stuff at a decent price. they're made to contend with higher priced items and do this well. My job sells like 100+ UTG items. AND I happen to own a 2011 Kia Forte Koup. It is an amazing car! No really... go to Kia and test drive one. Or an Optima. They're amazing cars nowadays. And the money I saved by buying this car goes to things like my tablet and cheaper bags and anything else I want to splurge on.
He was just trying to offer his helpful opinion. With that attitude u might as well skip on android and go with an iPhone.

In this case, you do get what you pay for...
UTG -
Polyester
5.11 -
1050D Nylon
Saying somone was "ripped off" is not helpful...especially when they are mistaken.
Only thing that popped up in my mind.
You men have it so lucky... murse, tactical bags, back pockets... I'm a girl. I can only stick in into one of the bazillion purses, messenger bags or backpacks I own.

I got with android because i am a fan of linux and open source. I also believe i should be able to do what i want with my mini computer. Android phones are not that much cheaper then iphones and no matter what anyone says iphones work really will with other apple products. And actually, i am considering the iphone 5 when it comes out. Since the trend of android is making high end devices huge. I want a high end phone with a 4" screen. I dont need to carry around 2 tablets. Thats nice that you have a kia. Will it be running strong in 10 years? We'll see. I see plenty of honda, toyota, lexus, chevy, fords, and dodges from 02 on the road. not too many Kias though. Sacrificing price for quality is not wise in my decision. And like beestee said there is a structural different between the bags. I also didn't have anymore attitude in what i said then the attitude that adam had when he said i got ripped off.
Now back on topic.

I like that sandbag. i'll have really give it a once over the next time i see one in the stores. I also have the bag listed below. I have seen it for about $75 but i paid $90 for it. That is what i use when the family goes to the zoo or disneyland. I have also used it for a 3 day camp/hike trip. Worked really well. If it was winter or any longer then i would have had to use a bigger bag. Day hikes just get the 5.11 PUSH. Take 5 min and watch the video on the MOAB 10. You'll see a lot of attention to the little details in the construction of this bag.

Checked out the MOAB, awesome awesome bag. I miss being in the USAF with stuff like this lol. Eh whatever...lol A glock in the compartment, nice...forget my tablet lol
I pulled the trigger and got a deal on the Max Jumbo KISS bag. I think it should suffice. I just dropped my N7 on the curb because my 4yr old kicked it off the seat while I was getting her out of the truck. This is what happens when your hands are full folks lol....
I'll post a review of that bag when I get it next week. :good:
I like the KISS. I looked into that because of the zipper pouch on the side. The push pak has two zipper pouches for water. I liked the idea of the full zipper but my hand didn't fit inside that pouch. Couldn't get headphones out of the bottom. But I still like that bag

Do not forget the having to change bags to match what your wearing. I bought the nexus 7 because i got tired of always having to be sure my bag or purse was big enough to fit my a500 in..I love the device but with its size i might as well pack my computer around.. My nexus will fit in even a larger clutch bag.And a smaller purse that works well with a tiny spring strappy or strapless Dress..
You have to look good no matter what....
guys can get away with nearly anything . Get you a pair of cargo shorts with those pockets that go 3/4 the way around the leg put a hard shell case that opens at the top and there ya go.. nice protection and easy to access... pssssss
with the above about the 4 inch phone i so agree .. the sweet spot on a phone size is 4 inches..Anything bigger is to much to hold in my hand . It must Make calls and Tether to my tablet.. What more do you need in a cell phone if you have a 7 inch tablet...
I personally would NOT use a i phone ... it may be very user friendly But we are all individual people..We deserve to have a device we can make our own.And not be locked into what the manufacturer say is BEST FOR US..
Ok all lets go shopping now...

Yep, I don't buy a purse if it can't fit a small notebook, or now, if it won't fit my N7 and a charger. And I change lanyards, purses, paracord accessory, ocassionally shoes, and hat for the day, sometimes during the day if I have to change for events.
And I have a captivate glide, which is about four inches, and a physical keyboard that makes me giddy (except when looking at cases).
All I can say is thank god black goes with 'everything'! -Ara

Hey guys.. Ive read reviews on cases and all seem pretty ok for city activity... however after a few years of running the obex on my s4 I decided to take it off and fix some issues with the case... would you believe the one day that I have it off I dump it on a teeny weeny rock and shatter my screen... well back to my question... I sit in freezing snow, climb 20 ft into trees and throw my phone when needed... If I were to buy this phone tomorrow what would be the best case set up for screen and corners.. I need bullet proof. I haven't pulled the trigger on the phone yet because of the edge and the way it seems to be unprotected by most cases... Thanks in advance I really want to buy this but Im afraid ill have to go with the g7 instead of the edge..
Ghostek 2.0 looks to be bulletproof, otterbox defender is prob second in line

Yea it looks nice since it's completely sealed, I wonder how tough it is myself. I was talking about the waterproof one just because you said full coverage! Seen on ebay for cheaper than anywhere else
