I would stay away from ROO cases. I had one for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 white and it left two marks on the back of it, where it seemed to have rubbed the finish off.

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.

Can anyone recommend a small, light, foldable stand with at least 2 angles for movie watching and typing or browsing the web?

I'll second this one. Picked it up for my Xoom last year and it works just as well for my Nexus 7. It's a little awkward to use and charge at the same time (since the wire comes up from the top or side), but given the price, that's just OK by me.
This is what I'm going to buy then. Thanks, guys!
This adjustable one? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008KY50WQ/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
Nah, I think the other one is better. This one looks like a toy, I don't trust its design...

You know what I'd like to know and haven't seen on any of the reviews? The lowest possible angle, especially on the Nexus 7 which is shorter when propped in landscape mode than the iPads. Can anyone post a screenshot with theirs in this settings? I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks!

Yep, that's the one I got - LOVE IT!
I bought a Bookgem for use with my Nexus 7, Kindle Touch and paper books. You can flip it over to get different viewing angles in portrait and landscape orientations. Works a treat in landscape and taking notes. Fits the small light foldable requirements too.

That is one cool invention, but what about those spring legs, aren't they too long for the Nexus 7 bezel when in landscape mode? Could you post a screenshot or something?

No, the spring legs aren't too long, the rubber tips extend about a half centimeter onto the screen but nothing too bad. Here you go with pic (click through for bigger)
Hey,
Just brought a Belkin case from PCWorld designed for the Galaxy Tab 2 10" and its a perfect fit. Holding the Nexus 10 up to the Tab 2 it's easy to see why. They are pretty much identical. Has the 3 fold design too. Now if I could just fit a small magnet under the material it would switch off when closed
Pictures to follow!
Whats the product name of the case you bought im heading to pc world later
Its called the Belkin Tri-Fold Folio with stand.
Luckily the shape of the corner grips means that although it covers part of the power button it doesn't actually touch it.
Thanks for the pics!

Came up at £34.99 but as soon as I said the price was wrong they did it for £29.99 without any questions.
What would you rate it on a scale of 1/10?
Does the back align with the camera as well?

Thanks, I just ordered one. My N10 comes today due to UPS leaving it at their shipping facility on Friday
Thanks! Needed something to protect my baby until the hardshell keyboard cases come out!
I just ordered a zoogue galaxy tab case. Says it fits both tab 10.1s.
I have a zoogue case for my Xoom and I love it.
It is a bit pricey ($55 shipped) and I would call it more of a couch / indoor case.
I will post pics when I get it. The race is on both N10 and case where ordered tonight!
Only problem with the tab cases is they cover a good portion of the side speakers I hate not having a case on this thing...

Yes I seen that. I hope it does not sound to bad.
I just really like the adjustability of the case. I can go all the way forward or all the way back and any place in between.. Not just 3 notches like many cases similar to this.
I'm very excited and can't wait or sleep for that matter.. Ha
awesome! looks like a nice case. Will stop by a best buy tomorrow to try her out.

Actually, why not keep the thread and post some pictures in OP.
I'm really annoyed cause I've had this on pre order for over a month, then the day after I get confirmation that it's shipped, I find a massive chip in the finish on the top front of the tablet,
I'd have paid good money for an official case on day one and this happens just really pushes my buttons.

The link I posted has several pics...as for a mini review: it just as advertised, nothing special but well worth the price Amazon is asking. Actually I got mine for $9.99 by ordering almost a month ago.
It only has one viewing angle supported by the flap but it works perfectly for my needs. It is very thin, barely adds any additional thicknesses/weight to the tab.
If you only use it around the house it is perfect. I would not recommend for heavy use outside the house. I don't think it would hold up well to being thrown in a bag, briefcase, etc...

Best case i ever had.......
Got mine in today. Really loving it, fits really well and the flap stand is at a pretty good angle for me personally. Like the build quality and I actually think it made it more comfortable to hold.

Got mine a few days ago and I like it. It is a snug fit but I plan on keeping it in the case. I think the viewing angle when propped up is fine but would be nice if you could prop it up at a couple different angles. Came with a small scratch on the back but not worth returning it. I notice other folks had posted about little scratches as well so maybe Poetic should check them more closely before shipping. Anyway, for the money it's definitely a great case! I'll be keeping mine.

Perfect fit
Had it for a over a week. Exactly what we needed. I could see using a sleeve for travel but this is perfect for around the house & in the car.
The Nexus 10 is my first tablet so I really appreciate the auto screen control with the cover.
If you want a small cover/case, this is it.

I second this. A good case, with a scratch on the back - but nothing major. I also wish it would 'stand up' properly, but I'm happy overall...
Hopefully this is a sign of more official accessories to come.

I like it.. But i tend to put my tablet down on random surfaces so i need a back cover as well
Most of the other cases are better thats just covers the screen and is more expensive but it would be nice if google could release a good hard case

About Damn time lol
They shipped these covers to some of the reviewers and they seem pretty nice!
If I remember right, they don't work very well as a stand
I ordered one. My current case is a little worn anyway, so I could use new one. I'll post my thoughts on it when it arrives.

I always buy the cheap crap and really want a official case, loved it in The Verge review and have waited for the Scarlet one since I saw it... I also hate my Moko Ultra slim because of the back cover, I want a minimal case

Its unreal how long it took for this to come out. What excuse can there possibly be for a 6 month delay on the first official accessory? So strange to me. Looks decent though.

Ordered the scarlet one too. I'll post some pictures when it arrives. Including shipping to Germany it came 35,98 €. Compared to eg official Samsung covers it really isn't that expensive. The thing i wonder is, if we may see some more accesoires in the near future (dock perhaps)? Hopefully Google has something more to come...
It came to just over £30 in the UK. 3 - 5 Shipping days. Can't wait!
Guys any video for this official case?
Wat you guys recomment, should I order this or get the poetic slimline???
Price difference of 20 dollars !!

It doesn't cover the back of the device, or the corners. Much better 3rd party cases already available.
I can't believe I waited all this time for what is effectively a flap. It doesn't even fold into a stand!

I like the concept of not covering the back, but I agree it should fold. It´s seems prety rigid, making it even somewhat uncorfortable to hold the tablet. I will wait for some reviews and photos around here.

Same here, its a crap design for $30. I'm going to stick with the poetic case. Id prefer something that just covered the front (im not clumsy) because the tablet is so thin and light and then folds into a stand but this isnt it.
