Super durable case? - Nexus 7 Accessories

Anything besides the poetic revolution that is superstrong?
Edit: Not a folio!

Yeah just find about 12 Nokia 3310s and tape them to your N7. Problem solved.

I'm also looking for a case that is quite similar to a seidio that has a soft and hard case. Not similar in structure but more similar in its function as a really protective cover. I had one for an HTC sensation and it protected my phone from all the drops. Without it. I'm pretty sure I would have broken and scratched the phone extensively. That said, the folio cases are nice since the screen size of the tablet makes it very suitable for reading unlike a smaller phone. I've only just had the tablet for a day so I have not read all threads on cases or covers but most of what I've seen are folio types and does not seem protective enough for accidental drops unless I'm mistaken and have missed that thread entirely.

Need help choosing a case... Nothing over 20 bucks

No wood, No rough leather, no book style cases. A smart cover would be nice as well.
So far I'm liking these:

the thread started by EVO_shift covers this style of case. A lot of brands have the exact same case with minor differences in features. I have the poetic version and like it. Beware that the original batch from China has as magnet that was to strong...but I would guess if you order now you will get one from the new batch that should be better.

I looked at his thread but i need links to compare to this case
Mandated from Stannis Baratheon
I narrowed it down to 3... updated links in the OP. Anyone have the 2nd 2 cases?
The 1st one has an exposed bezel and the other 2 the bezel is covered, do you have a preference one way or the other. (I really dislike the bezel being covered for some reason I find it uncomfortable.)
I also prefer the cases that rotate or have some option to put in portrait for when I'm reading. If you're going to be reading it's something to consider.
example; http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Rotating...UTF8&coliid=I27K1ARLET5FJH&colid=6SSSVRR36XK2
* I don't have it, I'm just sayin'
I really like the first link. I'm looking at buying a case at the moment. Think this will be me (And they also deliver to New Zealand! Woohoo!)
Thanks for the links .

[Q] I'm looking for a case..

Hello fellow Nexus 7 users!
I have recently been searching around the internet for a case for my Nexus 7 with a few specifications, I have failed to find the case I am looking for and now I have turned to your help!
I would like a clamshell case which wraps around the back of my Nexus 7 without it coming round the front and on the side which faces the screen I would it to be as slim as possible with a smallish pocket to fit a mini hard drive.
Thank you for your help, it is much appreciated!
Doesn't exist, not specifically for the N7. Maybe you should think about adapting something like the Poetic Element case which has dropped significantly in price since its release. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Poetic-ELEM...CPXW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1352058374&sr=8-4
Is smart cover for galaxy tab2 will fit nexus 7 coz thats the only one available in qatar right now...
Update: tried it in shop and won't fit----silly me

Couldn't be more happy with it, comfortable and slim. Nice to hold, nice texture and feel.
One problem, the stand is ABSOLUTELY USELESS
But for a 7 inch device, its comfier to hold in one hand anyway.
I use the Poetic Smart Case with the front flap. I'm also getting my Portenzo Hardbook cover case in the mail today. Having been around, these 2 look like the thinnest case that covers the whole unit.
If you just want the back, perhaps look into just a TPU case like a Cruzer. The Blurex smart "leather" cases were nice to own too.

iPad Like Smart Case

Are there any iPad like Smart Cases - you know the ones that fold into the little triangle stand - other than the Poetic one and this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008UQJU2K/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&smid=ARK124NKBQ4LI ?
The stand on the poetic one doesn't stay in place if you touch it more than a couple times and that other one apparently breaks down after just a couple months. Don't want it to cover the bezel like the two listed above. Looking for a different one. Honestly, it can even have a kickstand instead. Are there any available??

I am using this one and it works great. http://www.gamestop.com/android/accessories/nexus-7-leather-case-with-stand/104399

This type of case i've found to be the most widely available, they seem to be everywhere.
I bought one and it's very good quality from aliexpress.com, seller jPhone Case Factory.
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...and-magnetic-sleep-wake/503101_604963423.html
eBay is another option, but on the UK one the same thing cost a fair bit more.
Have noticed some variation on this type of case, the most important one being the ability for it to stand itself up horizontally which the one I have quoted is very good (look at the product images, you can see it has a clip at the back and it works very well and is very stable)
I got roocase executive leather
that's my 3rd case and I love it. Works the auto wake great once I learned where the magnet in the case was and where the sensor was on my n7. Beautiful real leather and the removable interior sleeve is nice. Not to mention it has a zipper zipps all the way

Thanks, but that one covers the bezel, which isn't what I want.

Would be a good suggestion if I had an iPad.
I think I am just going to say screw this kind of case and get a DODOcase Hardcover. A bit expensive, but I'm tired of these cheap cases that aren't of great quality, don't work as it is supposed to, or add a crap ton of bulk to the device.
Check out the Nillkin Case on ebay. Its a great case that is pretty cheap and functions exactly like the Apple Smart Case..
I'm sorry I guess I didn't read the title completely :banghead:

I'm currently using this one I got from Ebay and I highly recommend it:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Google-Nexu...es_Covers_Keyboard_Folios&hash=item2320f701ac
I also purchased this one, but I don't like it at all. It's more of a rubbery texture where the one I got above is more of a fake leather:

Having had an Oberon case for my old Nook Tablet, I think I'm going to order another one for my Nexus 7 and modify it to be a smartcover. Not necessarily the thinnest covers out there but they are high quality and super tough.

[Q] Nexus 7 Case

Hi guys. Well I just got my nexus 7 a few days ago. I've been looking through the forums but sadly all I see is leather cases. Can someone recommend a good non leather case for my nexus 7. Thanks !
Very few of them are actually leather. They are mostly "vegan leather" which I guess is the latest term for artificial leather (sigh, I'm old enough to remember Naugahide). But there are reviews on the Otterbox, Seidio, Treegloo and many other non-"leather " cases in this subforum. Did you even look through it?

I did look through some of them, really wasn't interested in the treegloo, but i guess i'll check out seidio.
I dont like using "Leather" to my case, since they tend to thread apart...
Use TPU material case, IMO they offer more protection, since its rubber and bouncy...

What kinda case do you want? A book style case, a screen cover, plastic cover and edges, something else or a sleeve? we know what you dont want - a leather case but what do you want? once you figure that out we can move on to finding what you want or something similar.
Right now i have a case logic sleeve until my treegloo, if it ever, gets here. there are other book style cases if thats what your into, Portenzo, reauthored, and recently dodcase came out with a similar case - with the wood frame.
I'm really digging my Poetic case:
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimli...359146334&sr=8-1&keywords=poetic+case+nexus+7
Very low profile. Adds almost no bulk and the stand function works much better than I suspected.

Nexus 7 leather snap on case

I've had my nexus 7 for around 3-4 months, never really used it much but now I'm getting hooked to it. Ive got a standard folio type case for it but dont really like it as the flap constantly gets in the way.
Has anyone seen a snap on type of case that is leather. An example of what I mean is something like whats attached but for nexus 7 of course. I cant seem to find one but maybe on of you guys could help me? Thanks
All my phones and tablet/phablet have these leather case :
http://www.noreve.com/

They have magnet to switch off screen
Very good quality...
Here a video and presentation

Noreve is indeed the best. I have Noreve cases for all my devices and would never look back.
Yes but I didn't want a case with a flap as I've already got one, I just wanted a case that would snap on the back but was leather
To be honest....the back of the n7 already has that leathery/rubbery premium feel about it. That's why I haven't seen one around yet cuz it's kinda pointless to protect the back of the n7.
I reckon ebay/amazon but i'm sure you would've checked there anyways
I got a plastic back only snap on case for my HTC Evo View 4G and when I moved to the Nexus 7 I got one for it. I agree with the OP and like the extra protection without the bother and bulk of a more traditional case. I.I too would prefer leather or even naugahide but unfortunately I could only find textured plastic ones. They aren't shiny nor plastic-y with the sand like finish. Bought on eBay. If you want but can't find it I can try to get a valid url.

I still these things at a pretty high volume, for retail, but I can't get a single custom case for it. I carry it in a small, but oversized, Case Mate, Netbook case. Of course, Amazon has a ton of cheap cases- but, cases are one of those items I try before I buy.
