All the cases look like they won't hold the device well, they all look not very well made and very bulky
found this if anyone is looking for a lower profile fit case that covers the back
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008GFHP5O/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
I bought that and a tablet stand to prop it up when i need.
Yeah, I haven't seen any cases worth buying. The only one I like is the official Google case, but it lacks a kickstand.
Not impressed, if I get one of the current selection, it would be a compromise and only if it's dirt cheap for the meantime..
So far there is only 1 case that I would pull the trigger on. I am having reservations because there have been concerns over the manufactorer's costumer service and their dealays/lack of updates regarding shipping but if nothing similiar comes out soon then I will gamble on it and pull the trigger.
I hate that the official case is not available at the launch of the device, especially when you have so many people reporting that they've already scratched their screens. There isn't even an ETA.
I agree, don't like any of the cases...i spent many hours looking through the forums and amazon and don't like any of them even the official one. I ended up ordering this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008GFHO6Y/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 not sure if I'll be happy with it, assuming it's temporary until something better and slimmer comes along. I was going to order a moko case but the right side of the nexus seems exposed when closed and I didn't want to wait until the 25th: http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Slim-fit...=UTF8&colid=SSJ5KLBELNZ0&coliid=ICUJNDX8PNE5B
What about these?

Didn't like much of the cases either. Liked Biz-E-Bee's cases with the Android mascot on them but it lacked a stand, so I bought this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008GSMRAY until something better comes along.

yes i also hate all the current cases i've seen. I'll probably end with a leather sleeve, my wife wants something just like her nook, can't even find something like that (basically snaps in and looks like a book (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/turquoise-quote-cover/23751364?ean=9780594296362).
I don't want elastic bands to hold it in, I dont want something too bulky, and don't want to have to unclip it to stand it up
I would like it to have some sort of standing property and smart cover feature, is that soo hard, slim profile?
The treegloo ones are nice, a little bulky for me, but my wife would probably like it, but i'm not paying $80 for a case (https://www.treegloo.com/)
Yup, haven't seen a single one i've liked besides the official case.
not a fan of any case yet either,
i had a yoomee neoprene case that i got for $3.50 shipped from amazon (prime), unfortunately they no longer offer prime shipping on that item without more in your cart, so that's doing the part for now...it'll do until a better one pops up with wake/sleep at a decent price
The Blurex case here is very nice. Blurex makes amazing cases in my opinion. So if this is your type of case you needn't worry about the quality.
I'm holding out for an Apple smart cover type thing, though it doesn't have the metal back or sides for the magnets to work.
I don't really feel like the back needs to be covered, I just want the screen covered and I want it to function as a stand as well.

Me too, I want a nice hard backed "snap on" type cover with a smart front cover which also acts like a stand like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Swees-Ultra...X9DG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1342463463&sr=8-3 which my housemate has for his iPda, just got a simple slip cover for it for now!

Same here. All those faux-leather cases are bulky and lack any style.
I really want something simple like the apple smart cover, which doubles as a stand.
I might just wait for a Dodocase.

Yeah, I want something that looks like a book. The style of your wifes nook case is nice but with different coloring and a white elastic band, it woudl be perfect. I want the treegloo case except Id prefer if the frame wasn't made out of wood but there's nothing else like it on the market for the N7 and the base price just went down $5. I pretty much want a FieldFolio case (fieldfolio.com) but for the N7.
Same. Holding out for better case

Here's an awesome Belkin case I posted about in another thread. Picked it up this morning from Fry's Electronics. It's gorgeous and holds my tablet perfectly, even if it's made for the Galaxy Tab 7".

This. I've been looking for days for a slim-profile, rotating case. I've found nothing, not even among the Kindle Fire cases, that would fit that criteria and the Nexus 7. Even if I wanted to compromise and get an interim case, most decent cases start at $30 - far too much for such a case.

I really like the functionality of the Poetic Slimline case for my Nexus 7. The tri-fold cover, magnetic closure, light weight and thinness are great. What is not so great is the quality of the materials and construction.
Has anyone found a case of similar design and functionality, but of better quality? Real leather, better fit and finish? Anything better out there?

I am wondering the same thing. I am going to be getting a nexus 7 soon so I have been trying to pick out a case. I like everything about the poetic slimline except all that is holding me back is all the reviews talking about the poor build quality and it falling apart.
The Nillkin leather smart case is another one I'm looking at that's similar, here it is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1884539
Also here are a few others that you can take a look at...I still have yet to decide which one I'm going to get
Speck fitfolio

MoKo slim-fit case

I have the Poetic case and it serves it's purpose but once I bought the Speck FitFolio I was completely happy. It's worth the few extra bucks without a doubt.

I too have Poetic Slimline, and I have not liked the build quality from the first time I laid my eyes on it on Xmas day.
The Speck case looks a lot better, but I would prefer the magnetic latches of the Poetic over the manual latch of the Speck. Other than that, the Speck would be a no brainer.
The Moko also looks like it has a few straps that would anoy me.
I literally want a non-crappy built Poetic Slimline and I would be happy.
i say get the nillkin, exotek or MoKo.
(ive got the MoKo)
One interesting thing about the Moko, it looks like you might be able to slide it into a dock while leaving it in the case, but that would need tested. You would just let the flaps lay behind the dock if they would bent correctly without interfering.
I just ordered the Speck about an hour ago.

Can you do a video review of this?
I am very skeptical because the Poetic Slimline use external magnets on both sides of the case to keep the cover closed because if they only have magnets on the cover, it will be too strong and will turn off the device when the cover is flipped to the back. And if the magnets on the cover is just right, then I really doubt it will keep the cover closed which will be a problem because when it flaps around it will keep turning the screen on and off...
Otherwise this look exactly like the Poetic Slimline but even smaller. (Doesn't mean it is better quality though).
Really interested in a review of this.
So are there actually any covers that are not leather, but rubber exterior? Something like these: https://www.hammerheadcase.com/
I don't get all the complaints about the poetic quality. Had mine for 2 months and its still perfect.

Look at Devicewear's The Ridge, and the Speck FitFolio, or the Incipio Slim Kickstand Folio
I also backed out from ordering a poetic slimline case because of some of the quality issues shown in the customer uploaded images on Amazon. Glue issues, fraying, etc... I'd also recommend against the trifold cover design as it is definitely more prone to toppling over.
If you want something similar and maybe a bit better for typing and other such use, the nicest I've seen was the Incipio Slim Kickstand Folio, but it isn't the most available case around. The good news is, it's basically the same case as the Speck FitFolio or Devicewear's the Ridge.
Speck's a more widely known brand, but I saw a few FitFolios, in a couple of stores, showing wear along their corners while still on shelves. The vegan leather material seemed a bit like an eraser from the ones I felt. I also didn't care for the harbor blue color when it came to the poly-shell against the color of the device, especially since it doesn't fully cover the back of your N7. I also didn't care for the clip, not that it doesn't have some use.
I went with Devicewear's The Ridge option myself. It's very slim. It has full shell coverage for the back of the N7 with holes for the mics (wifi). I believe there are three color options available. The outside leather is a bit less soft than the FitFolio, and it uses a soft stap to stay closed instead of a dangling clip. The sleep function works when it's supposed to, and doesn't when it's not supposed to.. I felt like I was taking a slight chance with it because a lot of the reviews seemed fake, but so far its been a very good case.
Don't sell the Poetic Slimline short
Gotta be honest, been using the poetic slimline case for a couple of weeks now, and I must have got insanely lucky or something, becase I really dont have any complaints. Doesn't really add much heft to the device (I came from an HTC flyer, and even with the case this is slimmer and lighter than the flyer was bare) provides decent protection, doesn't get in my way, and (after trimming a few little threads off the cover with a razor knife) has continued to look awesome regardless of my poor treatment of it. I think cases are up to personal opinion in the end, but I for one will certainly not complain about the poetic. Just another opinion.

It's smart. It's the case I use. Pleather covered cheap metal (my guess, could be plastic) that grips the Nexus in 6 places, the corners and midpoint of each short side. You slip the tablet out of the 2 bottom most corners and then sit it one of the slots in the lid of the case to use it like a stand. Pretty much how all of this sort of case works. But no it's not as thin as a true smart cover lid. OTOH the lid has a lip that clips over the Nexus to keep it closed and is thicker offering more protection and even an elastic grip to hold the tablet in portrait orientation.

Hello,
I'm most definitely buying a Nexus 10 this weekend. What are the best accessories for it?
Most importantly I am looking for a dock/kickstand and a case. Can you people recommend any?
Thanks,
Crazysah
http://www.amazon.com/IPAD-ST-Universal-Tablet-Stand-Kindle/dp/B0045JNBNU is a pretty nice basic stand that works fine.
Any other recommended accessories out there?
The Moko Slim-Fit (note, NOT ultraslim) is a great case with the ability to act as a kickstand at multiple angles.

+1 for the Poetic Hardback. I have a smart cover and a silicon case, but keep going back to the Hardback.
I would also recommend getting a POGO cable. Some question the price/value, but at this point it is the only option and I have found it quite useful in terms of somewhat faster charging and less wear on the micro usb port.
If you use screen protectors, you can just leave the one on that it ships with unless you want an anti-glare protector.
Get the SGP screen protector. Absolutely beautiful.

I've heard a lot about the Moko Slim-Fit versus the Poetic Hardback? Not exactly sure which is better.
So that is for the case. Both have kickstands right? So no need for a dock then?
And the POGO cable, yes, I'll get it.
Anything else I should for?

There are no true docks available for this device yet that I am aware of.
The Hardback case can be configured to prop the tablet open to several angles with the top cover laying flat in front of the screen. That might work differently than what some people think of as a kickstand, which to me is something that opens from the back to prop the tablet up and nothing lies in front of the screen. The problem with either style is that the POGO connector is on the bottom, so you might end up using the micro usb for power or maybe flip the screen upside down in the case, but then the power and volume buttons are on the bottom and you have the POGO connector sticking out on top. We really want a true dock for this soon...
Okay. The only question now is, The Moko Slim-Fit or the Poetic Hardback?
Why the poetic have that ugly cross on it ... Little macabre

I have the moko slim-fit, here's a quick run-down:
It's quite a good looking case, with various different colour options (I took orange). The PU material did not come stinking of catpiss, is very well made and shows no signs of wear after some use.
It has magnets that wake/sleep the screen and it can prop the tablet up at various angles.
It has a really nice microfiber interior, which will never scratch the screen and feels pleasant to the touch.
All the ports are exposed and easily accessible, as well as the buttons (this is not true for the poetic).
I also read that the corners on some peoples' poetic cases would crack.
Those are pretty much the reasons why I bought the Moko and I am more than pleased with it. Excellent case.

The poetic imo is hard to place on and the plastic kind blocks the on volume buttons.
Moko is more open in terms of the buttons there is no plastic blocking it.
Poetic feels more like a full coverage compared to Moko
But I prefer using my moko.
I use my moko ultraslim and I'll never go back to my poetic case. I love the feel and look. Extremely light

I'm buying the Moko then! thanks for the quick answer guys!
I bought both Moko and Poetic cases for my Nexus 10.
Both are really nice and light. but the Moko case is kinda brittle. I accidentally slammed the front cover to the magnet and the part where it holds the magnet cracked and now its loose.
I now use the Poetic case and loving it so far.
My N10 should arrive tomorrow! Also, the Moko case should arrive next week, I'll share my opinion shortly
I had the Moko Slim-Fit, but the quality of the leatherette was horrible -- a cheap and rough plastic feel. (Which was funny, because I had what ostensibly the same Moko Slim-Fit for my old Note 10.1, and it was much better quality.) After buying the i-Blason by mistake -- the POGO port was completely covered! -- I just got the Poetic Hardback. I'm not sure what the difference is between this and the Slimline -- they look the same -- but the closure latch is horrible. It will only close completely if you actually pinch it closed forcefully, otherwise the edge of the latch just sits on the top of the tablet, held in place primarily by the N10's grippiness and the tight fit.
I'm now debating whether to go for the Moko "Genuine Leather" Slim-Fit, or go for a third option with the Blurex Ultra-Slim. All of these things seemed to be made by the same manufacturer anyway.

I've got the moko genuine leather slim fit, and have had it on my Nexus 10 for several months. It's been excellent. I reported on it a few months back in this thread, and posted a pretty detailed review on Amazon too. It fits perfectly - I just about never remove it. After months of daily use there is NO visible wear at all. It's essentially still like new. Very pleased within h it. Highly recommended.

I've had it on my Nexus 10 since February 24th -- it's only been off the table a couple of days in the past three and a half months. Still fits perfectly, functions perfectly, and looks like new despite heavy daily use. Very highly recommended. NOTE: this is the "genuine leather" version of the Moko Slim Fit Multi-Angle case -- there's NO chemical smell when new, whereas the plastic version (cheaper) may have the same solvent small that other folks have described with the plastic cases. This also seems to wear much better as well. Love it!
EDIT: I just updated the URL to be sure I got it right. Note: most of the Moko Slim Fit cases are "PU" Leather -- i.e., like most of the mass market cases from China, these are micro-thin sheets of leather underneath layers of polyurethane. When you look at the Moko page, mouse of the color choices, and about 3/4 of the way through the list you'll see the "black genuine leather" option - THAT is the one I have and is the one I recommend.

I have this Moko Genuine Leather case as well, along with a Noreve case. The only negative I would say about this case is that mine holds the N10 a little too tight on the sides. It makes it difficult to slide the N10 out. Also, I find it uncomfortable to hold while in the case for extended use, and the tab on the left side is just little too close to the headphone jack. Otherwise its a really good case for the money.

I've had it on my Nexus 10 since February 24th -- it's only been off the table a couple of days in the past three and a half months. Still fits perfectly, functions perfectly, and looks like new despite heavy daily use. Very highly recommended. NOTE: this is the "genuine leather" version of the Moko Slim Fit Multi-Angle case -- there's NO chemical smell when new, whereas the plastic version (cheaper) may have the same solvent small that other folks have described with the plastic cases. This also seems to wear much better as well. Love it!
EDIT: I just updated the URL to be sure I got it right. Note: most of the Moko Slim Fit cases are "PU" Leather -- i.e., like most of the mass market cases from China, these are micro-thin sheets of leather underneath layers of polyurethane. When you look at the Moko page, mouse of the color choices, and about 3/4 of the way through the list you'll see the "black genuine leather" option - THAT is the one I have and is the one I recommend.

Actually, this is the link to the genuine leather Moko slim-fit: http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Genuine-Leather-Slim-Fit-Multi-angle/dp/B00AUP04ZG/. The link you have is to the plain black one, although you can select the genuine leather black one from the options provided.
I received the genuine leather Moko last night, and it is MUCH much better than the plain black one, which has an awful feel to it. The top latch is very good, unlike the Poetic, which seems to have a hard time with the rubber edge of the N10. That's probably more critical for me than the fit at the bottom, since I open and close the case far more often than I pull out the bottom and set it up for viewing. That bottom fit is a bit snug, like the Poetic, but this doesn't bother me too much. I'd rather have it that way than have the bottom swinging loose.

Thanks -- anything we can do to help folks find the right version of this. Even using the link that you provided, though, it's important to note that if you select what simply appears to be a different color than the "genuine leather black", you'll wind up getting a "PU leather" case, not a true leather case. The PU leather (polyurethane over a micro thin layer of leather) is what smells funky (in most instances), doesn't fit as well, and doesn't last as long. You can confirm the difference when you select a color by scrolling down the page and reading the expanded product description.
just got the moko case! it's all right! but I'm not foul satisfied. I'm waiting for the incipio team to make one. The moko is the better option out there right now I think.
Received the moko genuine leather case yesterday. Really impressed with the build, quality and over all feel.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Ordered the MOKO genuine leather case as well.
Will update when I get it.

Motorola? Or Moko? The Moko genuine leather is definitely the best of the portfolio/journal cases. I just got the Google book cover last week, though, and have been using that since. Definitely a different, much slimmer feel, a bit less secure feeling because it's just a flap over the screen, but still nice.
Hi XDA! I am looking for my PERFECT case/smartcover for the Nexus 7.
So the official Nexus 10 has a smart cover that is incorporated into the "rubber feet" on the back. Today, while walking through a mall, I saw these Blackberry Z10 smartcovers that are incorporated into the battery door.
Do you know of a case that is similar for the N7?
this is what the Blackberry Z10 battery door/smartcover look like http://bit.ly/10KGnO9
tried looking around, I haven't yet found anything so I gave up. Now my N7 has no case but I might just sell it an get an N10 anyways
The back has never needed any protection so these folio cases are pointless....it's the front that always has, and a bumper of sorts with the smartcover built in would be ideal
Exactly. The N7 is pretty bulky as is, dont need an extra layer in the back.

I have a moko cover that's pretty sweet. Its a portfolio case that let's you stand it in landscape to use with a Bluetooth keyboard or just to watch videos.
I tried posting a link but since I'm a new users, the forum won't allow me to. Just go to amazon and search for "moko slim-fit case" $15.99
Similar to the Blurex cases.
I've tried lots of cases. I DID like the Blurex/Moko style. However it did add a considerable amount of thickness. I also tried the Poetic case, which is a slim hard back plastic case with a smart case attached. It worked pretty well and latches shut at the end to keep closed. The Poetic case is the best case I've found for a smart cover type protection.
I eventually settled on a hardback book case. It is stylish and gives it a little more protection. The lid stays closed with a strap but some include wood shells with magnets. I opted for the cheapest solution and find it very good. In fact it has held up very well. The tablet is held in by sticky tape. I've owned mine for months and never had it fall out or need to be cleaned/restuck.

Plenty of color combinations. I have a Red exterior, white inner liner, and a black strap. Nice and clean.
So iPAD mini like smart covers isn't available for the N7 ? I too just need a lightweight smart cover only to protect the screen and not the back and was wondering if something like poetic slimline exists?
The Poetic Slimline does exist, as my previous posts states, for the Nexus 7:
http://bit.ly/192m6YK
The iPad Smart Covers uses many magnets around the edge of the screen to keep the flappy flap tight against the surface. Others just use one side of magnets at the edge of the closing point.
Very good price too. I purchased mine for $20, but it is showing $9.95 at Amazon right now.
The Poetic was nice and I liked it but out of the 4-5 months I owned it, I had to replace it 3 times because the material would break at the seams. Poetic has a 3yr warranty and replaced it hassle free by just emailing them my Amazon order number. Because they are so cheap, they don't even bother wanting the old one returned... so while they were falling apart, other N7 owners didn't mind a free slightly worn case.
Here is a video of them:

Yea. In doing the research and finding that video, I noticed the different colors. When they first came out they only had black. I'd almost wouldn't mind picking up a baby blue or red one.
I noticed colors are a little more expensive.
@player911
After so much of research with matching my requirements, I just couldnt find an alternative to Poetic Slimline case. Looks like it isnt available in my country (India) which is not cheap option.
Any idea if there's any similar chinese ones or replica? Have seen few smart covers from China on Ebay but they have the problem of turning off the screen when cover is flipped around.

I've heard good things about the Nillkin smart-wake cases. While the case covers both the front and back, the folding section does not, which makes it a bit slimmer (Hard to explain, take a look at the link for a picture). Apparently these cases don't suffer from the waking issue when folded backwards, either.
Here's a review I found: http://www.androidcentral.com/nillkin-leather-flip-cover-nexus-7
Dad recently bought a Nexus 7 and we ordered this case, though we haven't received it yet so can't offer any first-hand impressions.

Heard about Nillkin so let me see
EDIT:
Doesn't protect the screen as cover doesn't have magnets on edges(magnetic closure) like poetic one to close it 100%
EDIT2:
Ordered Poetic Slimline
