i bought a bag when i bought my touchpad a while ago.
if i'm out riding then it goes in the backpack. idk, nice to have it around.

I have my iPad in a Belkin neoprene sleeve. I ordered a case-logic sleeve for my nexus 7...that's if I even receive it.

I can fit my daughter's Ideapad A1in my back pocket for short trips and such. For traveling I plan on getting some sort of a neoprene-type zipper puch so it is a bit safer in what ever bag i stash it in.

Just going to tuck mine down the front of my boxer shorts.
"What on earth is that?"... "Tis Nexus. Want to touch? .... pepperstaek"

Is that an N7 in your pocket or junk in your trunk?
Hopefully it will fit in my back pocket, like the Nook Color did..

I have a "Camera Bag" that I got from amazon. Only about 28 bucks. There is a pocket that it will fit in perfectly because my kindle fire fits in it perfectly already. Then there is a top pocket my phone slips into for easy access.

I'll tuck it in the back of my pants.
Just like this guy (at 0:45 min)
:laugh:

It is the perfect size to fit in my leg poket of my flight suit. Bought it to put pubs on.

I buy cargo pants/shorts with side pockets for a reason.

I'm going to wear it as a dog tag
Seriously though will just carry in my backpack

One of the great things about being still in college is that it's acceptable to wear hoodies and tracksuit bottoms around with nice big pockets..
My Nexus will hopefully fit nicely in some of my pockets..
If not I'll just get a nice strong case and pop it in my backpack and try to be relatively careful walking around - that strategy hasn't broken my Kindle yet so if it's not broke don't fix it

I'm waiting for these to become available (debating on whether to get the blue or black one).
When I'm going to class, I'll just put it in my backpack. I won't be able to take it to work, so school, home, and relatively long car rides will be the main places I'll be using it, and I think the case will work just fine (has worked so far for my Nook Tablet at least although the case for it was made by m-edge).

In my hand until I see any good pouches in stores or the net. I currently have my nook color in a leather pouch and like it better then a case. I go on a plane ride in early Aug to test. Yep, my Nexus will join the mile high club. I get to gift my nook color to my son.

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.

i've got one of these. works fairly well, but can take a bit of getting used to.

I really like using my Microsoft Arc keyboard. It's pretty much full size, but I can't type anywhere near as fast on anything smaller. It's slick, light and has a carry pouch. Tiny dongle into USB OTG cable.
I also have a mini bluetooth keyboard that is about the size of my phone. It's ok, but not any great advantage over the on screen keyboard.

Out of all the bluetooth keyboards that I have seen, Logitech one is by far the best.

Like I posted in another tread, I found this keyboard on ebay significantly cheaper (open box)

I'm using my old Galaxy Tab keyboard/case. Had to shim the bottom to get it centered in the case, but it works reasonably well.

I still have the hp touchpad keyboard, it's pretty good to type on and light weight too, just not sure how to carry both together.

This keyboard is super cheap and at least one guy is claiming that it works great with his Nexus 7.
Has anyone else tried it?

I've got one too. Great to haul around for note taking. It fits well in a bag since it's ~1/4" thick up until the battery compartment. Just wedge your N7 under the thin part and let the back of the keyboard sit off to the side.

Just got another comment from the Amazon thread, and apparently it doesn't fit the Nexus 7 very well:
R. Brent says:
I also bought this keyboard to use with the Nexus 7. I'm a bit impressed with how usable it is, as long as I remember not to try and type quickly.
The Nexus 7 is not a good fit. The adjustable clip doesn't quite get tight enough, and the Nexus 7 will slide out from the sides. However, it does work to hold it upright.
For less than $10, I still think it was worth the price though.

You know what would kick ass? A Microsoft Surface-like case - with a kickstand in the back and a hard cover in the front that is also a keyboard.

I purchased 3 different ones just like that. they all work with NeXus 7 no issues. The top arm moves up and down and fits the NeXus 7 just fine. I even have it with the NeXus7 case on it. then it becomes a tight fit.
But it does work, and for 10-15 bucks depending on which one you purchase.

Naw, not quite:
If you turn the case sidewise, the Nexus slides out. Keeping the Nexus inside its case makes it a good fit though.

Sleeve that folds into a Stand

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Faux-Leathe...=978172893840139427&pid=100015&prg=1006&rk=1&
Not the typical sleeve. It folds into a stand which I thought was cool and you can enjoy the n7 without having something bulky/clumsy around it.

Now that's more useful than that stick-it-on-the-fridge-door thing that's been posted.
/off to check eBay uk for one.

Let us know if you buy one. Would like to know how it performs. Looks pretty cool. Good find.

That's pretty handy to me as i hate cases when I'm playing games on the tablet but I'd like a sleeve and a stand for it
I also wondered if there's a sleeve like the BlackBerry cases which have magnets in them...in the phone they were used to silence the phone but here it would be useful to wake the tablet up while you're pulling it out of the sleeve
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using Tapatalk 2

That kind of sleeve would be useful, and if this case was any cheaper, I'd buy it, but for now I'm waiting till I get my actual device and get my TPU on it before I look for sleeve that can hold it in its tpu case.
Off-topic, Ace, ever time your signature pops up, I try to kill the gnat cause I think I've got another bug in my room. :silly: Stop it, you're hurting my screen!

It looks way too oversized to me. Love the concept but I wouldn't buy one twice the size of my tablet.

That is a pretty neat idea - I'd think about picking up a non-leather version.

how is it twice the size? the image is just a rendering and if you look at the rest they fit perfectly like a glove =S

This question is subjective. Like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I am sure you have seen the myriad of threads and posts about cases. Have you seen them?
Is this your first tablet? If not did you use a case with your previous one? And were you happy with it?
Are you curious about a certain case? What makes you ask the question, really...I mean your answer is out there. In other words, the answer you seek is the one you answer yourself.

This thing is my favorite, personally. It's cheap. Durable as hell. Wakes and puts the device to sleep with the flap. Can be turned into a stand, and it don't look half bad. :laugh: It's all your choice, but I would look at this one if I was you.

Too soon to call it bro, it also depends on your price limit.
I'd say a few weeks and you'll have more formidable options.

Wait, what case is this?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Soooo many case threads... maybe there should be a "which case is worst" thread. Don't like the one I bought on Ebay here. The fit in the portrait direction is not great, slides up and down about .25", so the camera gets covered easily. Also has no hole for the side mic, so mic pick up is questionable. Also the thickness of leather prevents a finger slide right to the edge of the screen. No auto-off. I wouldn't buy it again or recommend it to anyone.

It absolutely depends on whether a case offers functions or features that would give you more opportunity to use your tablet.
I typically get cases for my devices so that I am not as concerned about breaking it while out and about. I am also often in situations where it is best to be discreet about using an electronic device.
Something else to consider is how the case will impair the experience of using your device as opposed to having no case on it. One of my biggest gripes with cases in general for touchscreen devices is how many of them encroach on the screen surface, so I go for the usually higher cost cases that put more thought into how the device is secured into the case without putting anything on the screen surface. When I say that they encroach on the screen surface, I do not necessarily mean that they hinder viewing, but that they cover the unused edges of the screen, and that happens to be where I prefer to grip with my thumb, and I prefer the feel of the glass under my thumb rather than leather, cloth, microsuede or whatever else.
Those are just my personal rules when hunting for cases for my devices.

This case almost makes it, if only the back was black, and that stand popped off.

I have that case...and the revision of it.
First case that I received had a strong magnet causing my Nexus 7 to go to sleep mode when the front cover is folded to the back of the case.
The second cover that I received today had no magnet (or a weaker magnet). The smart cover sleep/awake function is nonexistent.
Also the stylus holder is blocking the volume buttons. This issue actually is for both versions of the case.
Despite the lack of the smart cover function, I'm going to switch between the latest revision of the hardback case that I just got today and the official Google case....for now.
