Go to www.dealextreme.com or dx.com and they have several inexpensive cases for the Google Nexus 7; probably from the same sources as all those eBay sellers.
As an example I have bought, in the past, a soft TPU case for my S2 (at around three bucks! :silly and I preferred it to an Otterbox... But I believe it's a hit or miss; some other products are crappy.
I bought this (here) and I am waiting for delivery; I will post a review when I get it. Seems OK however.

Looks great. Doesn't look like the flap will stay closed though since there aren't any magnets on the outside rim.

Hmmm, true.
Maybe (hopefully) it's a 'friction' closure?
I could always put a fabric elastic around it I guess, kinda like in the moleskine note books ....
Edit: on some of the pictures, it almost looks like it has an elastic; when you look at the edge, on the cover that does not have the hole, it almost seems there are seams for an elastic, that has been put away for the picture?
any other color?

Not a fan of pink haha.
That pink one has an elastic strap closure, you can just see it in the enlarged pictures on the vendors site.
I like this pink one.

Hey everyone,
Yesterday I received my sleeve/stand
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Faux-Leathe...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item3378898d52
I'm pretty happy about it and I think my search is done. The outside is padded pretty well. The only con is that the case is a bit stiff when you first receive it so it's a little bit hard to slip the Nexus 7 in and out. The stand functionality is also awesome; I don't need something bulky surrounding my device at all times. Here are some pics. Sorry about the bad quality.

Why'd it have to be velcro? This case would be perfect if not for that...
Anyways, thanks for the review... if the case I'm getting doesn't work out well, I'll consider going for one of these.
Is it possible to use the stand with the tablet at the lower angle for typing? From the pictures it looks like you can just flip the case over but I don't know if it will hold.
Another question, you say it's a tight fit at first but do you think there would be room for a N7 with a TPU case to fit into it?
Thanks interesting case. Does it feel cheap?

+1 Is there a low-angle setup, or just the one?
Also, how bulky is it? The ebay listing only mentions the interior dimensions, but is it going to be a huge bulky thing that I now carry around?
Thanks for the tip, this is the closest thing to a usable case that I've seen(other than the Flipsteady, which is exactly what I want but is too expensive). All I want, really, is a stand that's always with my Nexus.

I just found this new case and it looks pretty awesome. I currently have the Moko rotating case which I really like because it doesn't cover the bezel but it lacks the magnetic clasp to keep it closed and is built somewhat cheap IMO. That is what I really like about my RooCase is the build quality. But I hate that if I want to use it in portrait I have to mess around with the Velcro and angles which is annoying when I just want to read (I mainly have been reading comics which are mainly in portrait but some landscape double pages occur). Also having it cover the bezel can sometimes get in the way. This new SecondShells Orbit case seems to fulfill all my needs so I just ordered one. I'm not so sure it has a stylus holder but that's not a deal breaker for me. I'll post some pics once I get it. :victory:

You can get the same case on Amazon or eBay for half that price m8.

Just checked. Same case on amazon is the same price as from the OP's post. Where did you see it for half the price?

Yeah I searched pretty good too. I only found one at the same price with a shipping fee on amazon when you can get free shipping directly from their website.
I've seen and used a number of cases....
Ive seen flip up flip to the side...
I've seen light ones and heavy ones...
I've seen people get excited by cases that make the note 2 look like a tank....
But - Does anything beat this?
Durable
luxurious
Well fitted

Not real leather but just fantastic for the price. Functionwise it is similar with yours. BTW I was also looking for yours but I dont like the red stitching.

Very very cheap that is. Good deal.
I liked the orange stitching. It was slightly different.
It's a bit like the stitching on jeans
They both look nice but I don't like the minimum protection on any of the sides. My Zenus case covers all the sides more, although not completely.

True
90 % of drops will be on the corners or the face I reckon.
Advantage of the OP style is that there is limited bulk added on the side.
Hi there! I'm still waiting for my Z3TC but I'm looking for nice sleeve. Recommend here if you have one or if you have seen some nice sleeves on the web. It shouldnt be more than 20€ shipped, for me atleast.
'Adore june' sleeve (amazon.Co.UK). Bought one, looks decent, but does not add a huge amount of protection. Will stop screen getting scratched, but I does not offer much impact protection. Depends what you want. They have several different colours. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adore-June-Business-Xperia-Compact/dp/B00O9V1CVC

Nice find! I looked at their own website but they wont ship outside germany. Didnt know they were available at amazon. Might go with the 'classic' version.

very nice, i really like theses
Adore june classic, works as it should.
Fits with tpu case on but its very tight, I wont recommend that. Without case its perfect, might work with hardcase too.

Did you receive the sleeve, is it any good?
As per the thread title, I'm looking for an iPhone style leather case (e.g. the official Apple one) that's just like a normal case (e.g. ringke/spigen slim), not a folio case.
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MGR62ZM/A/iphone-6-leather-case-black
Seems like the even with the second biggest phone in the world, the options are far inferior than when it comes to iPhones annoyingly.
This one just came out today. One of the first non-flip cases. :good:

Yeah I had seen that actually, just a bit too blingy/complex for my liking. Looking for simple brown leather but seems there's nothing out there right now.
Try storyleather dot com. I ordered mine last month and should be receiving it tomorrow. They are made to order. Will let you know how I like it after I get it. Good luck.
I got this: http://www.stilgut.com/galaxy-s6-edge-leather-case-cover-type-cognac.html
And it was all around cheap feeling. Not really thrilled with it.
i got this..http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YMSBWMQ
i have bought it last Monday, it seem like OK
I bought this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261912412...49&var=560744529063&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT quite nice
I was looking for one in real leather with nothing on the back really. Closest I'd seen was the Kavaj ones, but they also have a card slot on the back.
Just seen this which looks interesting. Plain, real leather, no over the top branding etc and also not very expensive.
