It looks like the silicone cases are now available at B&N.com.
Does anyone have one of these? How is it? Specifically, how "tight" does it fit?
I've had silicone cases for other devices that were a little loose and it was really annoying...
thanks
I have the black/dark gray one. It fits pretty snug around the whole unit. I would recommend it until otterbox comes out.
I have the blue one and it fits great.
Yeah I got the black one and its awesome.
I have one and not a fan. I hate silicon cases but can't find anything else that's not so bulky. The fit is good but mine bubbles around the bezel a little.
Just got my storm color silicone case and over all it is great. I prefer TPU cases myself but this is all that is being offerd right now. Fit is pretty tight but it bubbles on the side edge which is typical with silicone cases.I guess it is better than nothing.

I would have said this word for word. Been searching eBay for a TPU regularly.

Me too. I love tpu cases... hopefully one comes out soon.
Here's another vote for the silicon case. It is lightweight and snug, has a nicely 'grippy' texture, and hides the slight creakiness of the NC's casing.
Due to that grippy nature, it only reluctantly slides into the soft recesses of my timbuk2 case, though.
TPU does sound like interesting stuff, judging from this review of a $5 HTC Ego TPU case and the wikipedia page on thermoplastic polyurethanes.
Any updates on these silicon skins? I want something lighter than a case.
I got this one.
I love the grippy-ness, and no longer having to worry about the nook sliding around in the car or off the couch, or having to worry about scuffing it up.
Overall it's a pretty decent fit; the opening on the bottom edge of the screen isn't perfect, but it's not bad, and certainly not enough to remove it or look for something else.
Oh, and it smelled like complete and utter azz for the first day or so, but the smell has completely dissipated since then.
Edit: finally got around to adding a bit of double-sided tape around the inside lip of the silicone cover... now it's a nice, tight, perfect fit. =)
I got that one as well. I love it. It did smell pretty damn bad the first day
Got the Storm one from B&N and love it. Just what I needed. Had the book style and like this one much better. Very convenient.
I have a blue one, just got it last week. I like it a lot and for all the reasons listed- it doesn't slide around, I can hold it in my hand without fear of dropping it, it is snug, it looks nice
They told me at the store that the NC + the silicone case would not fit in a case/cover/book. So I bought a neoprene case. I really like the combination. It fits snuggly inside the neoprene case with the silicone cover on.
I haven't found the *perfect* cover/book for - I've tried several and just can not decide. Until I find something, I like the combo I have now. I realize I might have to take the silicone case off in order for th NC to fit in a regular case, but I don't mind having a few accessories around that serve different purposes.
i too have a B&N black silicone case and love it. Fits perfectly (with the usual slight rising along the screen edges). Bought the neoprene ($20 one) case for it but returned it because i felt like it was too tight and sometimes it pulled on the silicone sleeve. Instead, i went over to best buy and purchased their multi-purpose neoprene case. The dimensions are slightly bigger than the B&N case so it fits perfectly with a good amount of snugg-ness/tightness and there is room to add a microfiber cloth in there too. picked it up for $20 also. It is from Rocketfish and i am very happy with it!

I'm rocking this same combo (B&N black silicone case and Rocketfish universal neoprene sleeve) and absolutely love it.
I would highly recommend these two accessories.

Yes!! I looked forever for a good cheap neoprene case and finally found the rockfish one 4 days ago. Im still hoping to go even cheaper through amazon but im so scared that the ones online wont fit with the silicone case. So far, i am loving it!

What's the product# or model# (or dimensions?) for that neoprene rocketfish sleeve one everyone's raving about? Or if someone has a link, that would be even better.
I'm interested in getting one, but need to make sure I get the right one online.
Thanks.

Hello,
I would like to find a case that will fit my Elocity A7. I am looking for one that is something like a Barnes & Noble Nook Case or any Ereader case for that matter. Something that will fit or at least not be bulky. My point is has anyone found working accessories for their Elocity A7
cases
I ordered two cases from Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310278043272
I should have them in a couple of days.
I'll post a report then.
Jazz- that looks like a pretty good case. Looking forward to your review.
I'm hesitant to buy a case like that for fear that the A7, with its huge bezel, won't fit in it. The bezel basically makes it longer than most 7inch tablets.
I ultimately just went and bought the Nook Color sleeve at Barnes and Noble. It took a bit of stretching to get the sleeve to zipper over the A7 but it fit nonetheless. Hopefully, in time, it will just stretch.
If I can get a case like that one on eBay to fit perfectly, I'd buy it.
i found a neoprene softshell zipper case at Kohl's. its for any generic universal ereader for $10.

I'm going to check Best Buy / Target / etc in the next couple of days... I'll take the tablet in to be sure. Will report back after!
BTW - Huwaei Tablet Zagg screen protector from best buy should fit our devices pretty well. I had one on my Archos and it worked well with a slight trim. The elocity is a tad bigger, so I imagine it first nice without a trim. (I haven't tried yet, I'll try to check this out too)
7" keyboard case
USB Tablet Size Mini-Keyboard Case for 7" Tablet PC w/ Faux-Leather Case (google search for those words)
I ordered this and got it the other day. Absolutely loves it. Protects it and works great. It is really nice. I will do a full review video maybe tomorrow or so.

Hi, my husband has a Sony PRS-950SC reader daily edition, and bought a neoprene zip case for it at Best Buy.
I tried it on my A7 and it fits very well, they're similar in size. However, there are no pockets or anything.
edit:
I found one at Walmart: a black Griffin neoprene envelope-flap type case for $14.99. It's a snug fit but it works well, good padding and not a lot of bulk. There is no zipper and it *just* fits. Good for carrying inside another bag, purse, etc. but no belt loop or handle for using alone.
tried to post photos but I'm disallowed, sorry.
Zip Sleeve Case (Black) to Protect the eLocity A7 Touchscreen 7-Inch Android 2.2 Tabl
I like the CaseCrown Faux Suede Zip Sleeve Case with a large pocket for A7 accessories on the zippered on the outside. Well padded for those occassional drops.
On Amazon...

Please check it out
I got the Crown Case, a neoprene sleeve, and the generic android nook-like hard case from ebay, referenced in this post. I like them all, and the A7 in the hard case fits perfectly in both the Crown Case and the neoprene sleeve, for extra protection. I'm really pleased.
After hunting around for 2 weeks for something that looks good and works as a stand and cover here is what i found
The stand came from the Apple IPad section but works great with the Elocity A7. The cover is a Nook magnetic cover that gives you access to all ports.
Please excuse the messy desk and phone pictures!
I used the 3M sticky pads on the back to hold it to the Nook Case.
Nice work. Looks good! I have a elocity case from case kings on the way. Ill update everyone on that!
eLocity case
I am wonder were to buy the case for my A7. I can't seem to find one here in town.
eLocity case
I am wondering were you bought yours at? I can't seem to find it.
Case from Amazon.com
I purchased a leather case from amazon.com that does not work well at al. It comes up as a compatible case but the flaps to hold it in on one side to not completely cover it.
its called Leather Case with Pockets for eBook eReaders
sucks!
I bought the case from Best Buy and the Stand from Frys
Has anyone heard if Elocity /Steam is going to sell any accessory for there products??

I want to start carrying my A7 to work with me everyday, but I hesitate until I get a case. I'd like a case like the one shown for the nook...one that cover the A7, but gives access to the ports and maybe can function as a stand...what is everyone finding, and what seems to work for a cover?
I love mine.
It's reviewed here under Ebay Case review.
Casecrown for A7
I received my crowncase case today. Fits well, is cheap and does the job.
I went to Best Buy with my a7 and tried every case they had - and they had a lot. i wanted a case like some made for the nook where the device is inside the case but you can open the flap on the front to access the screen. No dice. I tried a about 12 different e-reader and tablet cases but none of them worked that well. I needed something to protect my tablet so i went with a $20 red neoprene case made by Rocketfish. It fits perfectly and i do like it, but I still have to take it out of the case to use it. That's the only downside to it.
I have to agree with the assessment of the Casecrown A7 case. I bought mine through Amazon and got it with no issues. I do find it a wee bit tight but am hoping that it loosens up a bit if I keep the A7 in it overnight, etc. It's a case, it protects (mostly), and it's cheap. I think that's about as good an endorsement as we'll get.
I have the case off of ebay that is listed in another thread, and it works great. Access to al ports, and fits well too. For 8 bucks, you can't beat it.
Elocity stated that they have finished the design for a nice leather case for the A7. The last I heard was that it should appear for sale on there site soon. That's the one I'm waiting for.
Picked up a Body Glove by Fellowes at Walmart $14.95
Roocase Superbubble
Roocase Superbubble
Neoprene half-zip case with front pocket, almost identical to the Body Glove case they sell at Wal-Mart, the little bubbles absorb shock if you drop it. Just received it and the A7 fits perfectly!
BTW got mine at amazon.com for $20 with shipping

Which bublle case did you get. There is a bunch listed. One for 6" e-reader and 1 for Galaxy tablet, etc.
Thanks,
Jim
Ebay case
I ordered the eBay folding cover described here...it is cheap, not very well made, and does not hold the A7 well at all...it does not even close properly because the computer is too big...it only cost 7.95, but is not even worth that

Still not clear. That link shows search results for anything matching "roocase" from MacBook Air's, to Netbooks, to Kindles. Which one specifically did you get?

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I need a case.
A7 Case
I have not seen any cases for A7 that allow use while inside case. what I bought was a "GRIFFIN JUMPER" for eReaders. Found at walmart around $14. Its more like a envelop with ample padding top and bottom and fuzzy inside and heavy stiched edges. Its a pretty tight fit but it does completely cover and protect.
I use a Belkin 7" tablet sleeve. Its a tight fit but does the job.

Received my CaseCrown black faux suade zipper case today. Exactly what I was looking for.
Fit is a little snug when trying to zip it shut, but I think it will stretch slightly over time.

I just ordered a Trident Aegis Case but I'm pretty sure that I'll feel unsafe walking around with the Nook in that case when it's not in use. Can anyone recommend a case that I can use to hide the Nook while I have the Aegis case on? I'm looking for something inconspicuous like this, but I'm not sure if it will fit.
I use this Belkin neoprene case with my NC and Trident case. Tight fit, but good protection and not flashy.

Thanks, I saw an earlier post talking about that case but I prefer something that can open like a book. If I can't find one maybe I'll go with that.

I got this one off of fleabay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300552863961
It doesn't have a stand, but it works great and was only $13. Plus it was one of the few covers I found that had holes in the back for the speaker.
I bought the Roo Porfolio case at Overstock dot Com and I'm pretty happy with it.

I like this case to, but will vit fit with the Agesis body cover on?
I just picked up this case this week. Very impressed with it for the price. The stand works well and it isn't flashy. Feels good in the hand too. I can't post links yet, but I got it on Amazon:
CrazyOnDigital Folio Black Leather Case
Ended up buying one of these. I'll report on the quality and how/if it fits with the Aegis on.
Edit - Just got this case and it fits perfectly! I even have space for additional cards and screen wipes. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a holder while having the Aegis on.
