Folding smartcover like ipad

Im looking for a folding case similar to the ones for an ipad.
Has anyone seen any of these?

Me too! But from what I've seen, there's nothing similar...I'm not liking ANY of the cases available for the Nexus 7 right now...all seem too bulky and just doesn't go with the whole tablet...

Me to, i'm after something like this that i have for my ipad. Veo ipad ultra thin cover.#
I don't like it when they have something covering the front bezel as it gets in the way, especially with a smaller tablet.
The official samsung book cover case for tha tab 7.7 was awesome!

The smart cover with a cover for the back is exactly what I'm looking for.

I'd say there's probably pretty huge demand for this among N7 buyers. One of the big draws for a 7" tablet is portability compared to a 10". I can fit the thing in my pants pocket or my inner coat pocket with ease and no real additional bulk. These huge covers currently on sale seriously take away from that.

I'd glady pay $25-40 for a tpu case with a folding smart cover that can be used as a stand as well. It would be thin, give protection on all sides & turn screen off automatically.
I agree the market is there for something like this, with the sales through the roof of the N7 I do think we will see alot of quality cases soon.

+1, we know the market is there, it just seems the manufacturers don't or they'd be making them....everything is some hefty duty thick ugly cover up your entire device type of case....

I think we'll start seeing cases like that in Middle/Late August or September. Most of the nicer cases that are made specifically for the Nexus won't come out until later.

I would love to have something like the Apple Smart Cover with Android Robot in GREEN!!!

I would like one too. Almost all cases for Nexus 7 that I have seen just makes the device bulkier.

I'd love a smart cover like the one for iPad's. I use a carbon fibre sticker on the back of my iPad to protect it and with the smart cover for the front, it hardly adds to the thickness. Currently using a playbook case (until the case I ordered comes in) and it definitely adds bulk.

looking for the same

Same here. I want something thin and foldable that's not cheap leather crap.

I have the Amazon Kindle Fire Tuxedo Slim Case:

This case seems really nice. I paid less than $8 for two (shipped). Got here in three days from California (i live in central Florida).
It's pretty well made and no giant bezel covering.
The link is below and a video review below that.
Excuse the giant thumb. I tried to rip it off today at work.

First of all thanks for the video review. I just bought one of these to hold me over till more high end cases come out and are reviewed.
The one thing I like about this case is that it offers a vertical and horizontal stand positions.
Also, you scared me for a second there when you pulled the knife out
On a side note what rom are you running.? I really want to move the notification bar to the bottom where the best home, back, and app list buttons are.

How easy it to pull the N7 off of the anti slip adhesive? Just asking in case I want to dock it.

Quite like the look and functionality of that case. But how reliable is the adhesive? I would be worried about the Nexus 7 falling off suddenly...

The dodo case uses it as well I believe.

now that you've used it for a few days, i have the same questions as above. how reliable is the adhesive and how easy is it to remove? does it leave a residue on the back of the tablet?

I noticed that the case fits the Nexus 7 very well. Do you think a nexus 7 with a tpu case on it would still fit inside? I am worried about the height.

I just realized that this case will block the speaker grill so sound might be muffled.

I'm curious too. I already bought it (it was cheap and the dual stands look sturdier than on other cases) but I'd like to keep the back of the Nexus as pristine as I can for as long as possible.

Thought you were going to mess up your other Thumb...

I've been using this case for about two days.
The case leaves a decent gap for the speaker and the adhesive is rock solid. It doesn't leave a residue.

SCARY! Just wanted to let you know to be VERY careful! I am on my second Nexus 7 as my first one the screen did crack after a light fall. And Asus is not fixing them for very cheap! Around $195 for the screen and repair costs, so I just spend about $60 bucks more and bought a brand spanking new one. Waiting for the OEM LCD's to come out and then will just repair it myself! Thanks to ifixit anything is possible! Anyway re-cautioning you to be careful!
Cheers,
Vanka

cool case. i didn't know this type existed.

How difficult do you think it would be to remove from the adhesive if you wanted to change cases or, say, had a really bad eye for lining things up but you're kind of a perfectionist when it comes to those things? *cough*

Wow, didn't expect repair costs to be that high.

Interesting new Slim Case design

Haven't seen a thread on this yet, so here is another Nexus 7 slim case on Ebay.
It is different from the other Ebay Apple-like case.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Google-Nexu...Accessories&hash=item23212d5c16#ht_884wt_1041
The front looks quite slick.

Price at 19.99 is a bit steeper than other Ebay cases,
and its pictures do not show if we can fold the cover all the way back or if it's a Smart cover or not.
But I like its look, probably will wait to see other sellers posting the same one with more pictures and detailed description.

To be honest, that does look like one of the better looking cases on eBay. If you guys want, I can take it for the tram and review it when I get it? Hopefully by the end of this week.

It's the case I've been holding out for..... looks like the perfect case IMHO :beer::beer:

Although it does say that it will require 7-14 days for delivery, ill post the review as soon i get it.

Ugh... from china. Everything I've ordered on ebay from china is happy meal toy quality. Hopefully this case is the exception.

Looks nice minus the hump.

Also, in case if you guys were wondering, this isn't leather.
Its "Pu Leather" which is short for poly synthetic leather. As in, its a cheap less durable leather covering some piece of cardboard or something.
In fact, some countries like New Zeland and UK have banned the sale or use of "leather" for products with this type.
But I'll update you guys once I get this case.

Looks like a really nice case, but after reading this I might keep waiting... Waiting for a perfect slim case to be released before I buy one!

I bought one too, I'll take some pics when I get it in as well. I'll probably get this one from China before I get my darn Portenzo case lol.

I ordered one of these about a week ago, still waiting on delivery but will post my views on it when it arrives.

It looks like it arrived at the San Francisco post office, which is only 50 miles away so I may get my case tomorrow. If I do I'll post pics and my impression :good:

Interesting case, looking forward to your review.

Yeah I do. SEARCH in ebay , amazon, and this forum.

we have search functions

Thank you helpful people..

Don't ask other people of what you are not willing to do yourself. There are 5 different designs and 100 different distributors of those 5. You can find every single case made for N7 on the first 2 pages of this forum.

I did do searching, but nobody has COMPARED them.

Google Nexus 7 Slim Magnetic PU Leather Smart Cover Case Stand w/ Stylus- Black
Very slim and protects the nexus good enough for me. Cover folds behind and acts as a stand, but isn't as sturdy as I would like. The surface texture of the cover is a little too much like felt and the cover folded up doesn't grab to itself as well as a rubberized cover would, but I'm tired of reading reviews on covers and waiting for the next one in the mail so I'm sticking with this one.

Looks nice at the first glance but the colored "leather" looks glued on the back pretty poorly and the outlines/"leather" cutouts aren't exact. It also doesn't appear to have any type of clasp or magnets to hold the cover closed.
I owned a Poetic Smart case and liked it. My tablet got stolen so I'm in the market again. Torn between buying another one or one of those Book cases.

Instead of being an ass, maybe you could've asked to be more specific & I would've happily supplied some information.

I'm using the eBay smartcover that most people have.
It comes with the cover(obviously), a stylus and a pretty bad screen protector.
The cover itself is good considering it's only £9.99

Also sometimes the magnet turns off the Nexus 7 screen when you fold it back

Looking For a Hard Case

Looking for a hard case for the Nexus 10 that's kinda like the Otterbox Defender with the iPad.
This is the closest thing I could find: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-REVOLU...1361244730&sr=1-2&keywords=hard+case+nexus+10
But it doesnt have a snap on cover, which I also want. And I am not looking for a flip/ folio case.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated!

Same here, I wish for a case like the comment below.

I need a rigid screen cover case as well. I have the Samsung smart cover for my Tab 10.1 now and I got the gf the STM Grip for her iPad. I can not deal with a non rigid case as most of my usage is sitting or laying down and I use the rigid screen cover to prop it up against my legs. There is a great selection of cases for my Nexus 4. How is there no case like this for the Nexus 10? If anyone learns of a case with a rigid screen cover please let us know.
