Cases and Covers

My nexus 7 has arrived today from Ebuyer, which is a week earlier than i expected and so i don't have a cover. So i was just wondering where people have got a decent cover from for theirs?
Cheers

THIS bad boy here!. I just got one for only 6 dollars after shipping. Hopefully it'll arrive the same time my n7 does, though it'll more than likely get here first.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008FXSC9U/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=computers&psc=1 looks quite nice. Also apparently uses the magnetic sensor in an iPad-esque fashion.

covers
there are many different brands for covers / protectors...i am looking into getting one also. I am stuck between trying out gorilla glass or a xoskin protector. Just cant make up my mind.

I bought 3 cases and 2 wires to use the computer headphones. Way cheapter than Amazons offer.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Zip-Sleeve-Pouch-Case-for-Google-Nexus-7-Asus-7-inch-Android-4-0-E02-/200789934107?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item2ec003401b
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PC-Headset-to-Smart-phone-Adapter-Dual-3-5mm-to-3-5mm-New-/140757356834?pt=US_Audio_Cables_Adapters&hash=item20c5cad122

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm 99% sure that Gorilla Glass is only available already on a device, not something you fit yourself.

Grabbed a Neoprene Pouch off ebay for 10$

I found this BodyGlove case @ Wal-Mart, it is very protective and fits like a glove.

I kinda leaning towards the orange one....yea I'm a bit odd lol...
17USD plus shipping. Looks nice and slim, BUT I had one in carbon fiber for my Kindle Fire and it was ok, but not great. I settled on the seidio active case for the KF. My "perfect" case search adventure continues!

I'm thinking long and hard about a treegloo case. I can't posts links but its treegloo.com . They are on the pricier side but I love the moleskine look.

Yeah, they look good alright. I wish there were more N7 cases available because I don;t know if I want to spend this much $$ on a case, but with the lack of options I just may. Their Ipad cases have the smart cover feature so I hope these cases do as well.
Edit: I just contacted TreeGloo and this case will also be a smart case. I'm scalping some concert tickets so I can justify spend 20% of the tablet cost on a case though but I really like the fact that the case looks like an old book cover.

I picked up one of these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Leather-Cas...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item4167b83d78
Mostly because I had $6.01 in ebay bucks that I needed to use... so it only cost me $0.58. It makes me laugh that it looks like there's an ipad in that picture. We'll see what it looks like when it actually gets here.

at some point in this forum, i came across a case that looked like a leather bound book, anyone have a link to that? I cannot find it, i even checked my history from today and cannot find it in there either, it's driving me nuts!

Gel Case

Not sure if it been posted before, but ive currently ordered the following
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SD-Tabletwe...F3DO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1342898437&sr=8-2
Anyone have any experiences with this case?

I'd like to know the same thing. Been looking at these myself.

Ive bought one, so, we shall see.

Ive seen the case before, but not bundled with a screen protector and stand. I actually ordered the TPU case. Comes in S, waves, and X rear design. Will post pics once I receive it.

Please post your impressions of the case AND the stand once you receive it. I'd love to know

need this to be sold here in the US lol

TPU
I keep searching and notice a lot more vendors have them available, TPU cases that is. Seems they are all selling the same 2 designs.
But this one has the largest color selection. For those looking for the White Backing

I have the clear S case coming today/tomorrow, and the Black X case coming Friday. Also Have a 7in Android slip cover coming. will post thoughts when I receive.

Thanks goes to vancouver_hawk for linking;http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/mob/3158954395.html
GREAT source for pictures on how these Series S-line look on the Nexus 7. I ordered the X series, which I think covers the buttons.
Found another clear X series installed on a I/O unit;
Borrowed me some ebay pictures of a clear S-line installed on a retail unit;

I have the s-line case on my nexus 7 n its a nice fit. Cutouts are perfectly lined up with buttons, speaker hole, charging port, etc. Very thin not bulky at all but thick enough to protect the n7. I would recommend it.

Looks nice. I will pick one up. Nice too as you do,nt have to worry about setting the device face down, getting the back greasy (reading while eating ) or having to look like an old person with all these "folio" cases.

I bought one of the X designs shows in the various colors on the previous page. I bought it from Amazon in black. Coupled with a SP this maybe all that I need.
I would like a thin flap case but they add way to much bulk right now. Maybe when someone creates a thin model, I'll jump.

Is this the perfect case? Slim, bezel-free & not pleather

I have been having a look on Alibaba to see what manufacturers are coming up with and I stumbled across this http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/625190932/Google_nexus_7_case_leather_case.html.
They seem to have got it spot on. Sadly I can't find any stockists yet on ebay or amazon.

It was already proposed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31250411&postcount=12
along with a similar one but the problem is that you need to buy at least 100 ... wholesale manufacturer
I asked the manufacturer (one week ago) if the cover properly fold all the way back, and if the auto sleep/wake function is triggered when the cover is fold back. still waiting for the answer. I also asked the ebay seller US Mobile Mall if they were interested in selling them, but no answer ...
Speaking of similar cases from alibaba wholesale seller I also found:
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/603508835/LEATHER_CASE_for_GOOGLE_NEXUS_7.html

http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/618145751/PU_Leather_Stand_Case_Smart_Cover.html
Well so I kept searching and finally found those two cases that share the same properties (and can be bought at one by one):

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Smar...-ultra-thin-skin-free-shipping/620851791.html
The last one look awesome! It is slightly expensive but it seems to worth it. I would love to see a review and more pictures of that case.

Cool lookin! I wouldn't mind getting this one as a backup.
I couldn't find anywhere that sells them either.

This is the best case yet and you only need to buy 20 cases. Its too bad I can't get a sample cuz Id definately buy 20 cases and sell them on Ebay if I knew that they were atleast the quality of those Blurex/Moko/IBlason Slim Folio Cases.

While I really like the originally posted case, that second-last one that you posted, NicoGa (canvas-style), is a dream case for me. I was looking for something softer, but most cases are either black/white leather or hot colours, so that very pretty case you found is perfect for me! Thanks a lot. I will order one and see how it works out.
That last case is also very nice, I like the gold colour a lot.

I prefer the official Asus Nexus Travel Cover to this.

Any news on that case? Anyone found it on ebay yet?

IT's not leather, it's FAKE!!!
Darn,
Just like some other vendors from the east, this one is also advertised all over as leather until you dig way down into the specifications.
Item name Google nexus 7 case, leather case for google nexus 7
Item number ST-GN7-CA018B
Materials PU
PU stands for.... drum roll please....... Poly Synthetic Leather. There's not even an atom of cow hide in that case. It's just like it sounds, pee yew.
Bad form Sintech!!!!

Not everyone needs a pure leather casing, I am totally fine with PU in this case. The outside doesn't even look like leather anyways.

I don't disagree with what you posted, I also have a PU case (Blu-Rex slim fit). It's that the OP was sure it wasn't "pleather", Rather than someone rushing out to purchase what they thought was a "real leather" case, it would be better if they purchased it for it's other merits, since it is not "real leather".

I like the design of this case. I can deal with the PeeeYuuuu pleather to have the bezel free design.

Oh I like this style, reply if you the find a place to purchase! Ebay and Amazon does not have any news Why?

Color me interested.

I wish the op would update the subject.... Pleather is not leather.

Wow, looks sexy!

I'll try it, but it was only $3 so not really a big deal. I don't think I'd want to cover up that nice leather with a plastic/rubber case anyways haha

A lot of company's don't stat that the leather back is not compatible. Honestly though if you bough that type then it was cause you wanted to show it off and liked the look. Hopefully you can buy the stock backing for cheap.

Mate 8 Cases

Not many cases are out yet and I guess that most of us will have to wait anther month or two before we will be able to get this device but for now, what cases do you hope that will be released for this device?
One case that I think is nice is the Huawei Mate 8 Case, KKtick® Ultra-thin Nature TPU Slim Flexible Soft Cover
What do you guys think about it?

Some vendors will start bringing out cases around the time of the international launch. If you look at Chinese reviews, you see that cases are included with the Chinese versions.

Mine come with case.
Gold phone + gold case (not nice color...)

Mate cases already available on Amazon,but these brands are not really famous.

There is one made by Huawei. Got it online here though.

just bought this one .looks classy in brown

Perfect fit, good grip, but very slim, not very protective.
Anyway, I like and use it.

I wonder if there is a chance to get some cases from some major producers out there ... At the moment it's a poor choice especially in that "armoured" ones.

For those of you who are trying to get the most protection out of a case, Love Mei has a case for this device.

I got a smart window case with the 128gb I bought, but only used it one day. Now am using an ultra thin tpu transparent case I bought from Aliexpress. I bought another from Amazon that was a little thicker, but prefer the one from Aliexpress. I am not big on using cases. A clear screen protector was already pre-installed, but looking for a full coverage tempered glass. I ordered one from Aliexpress, but still hasn't delivered.

The transparent clear case that a lot of sellers sell is not enough. It's too loose and the lip over the screen isn't enough. I dropped mine IN THE CASE and still put two dents in the bottom of the phone by the speaker. I would recommend something else. I bought this one as well and it seems to be good.

This is a very protective and perfect fitting cover, I bought it but I preferred a slimmer one (see post #8).

Spigen just released their mate 8 cases. I use these on all my phones. Here are two of them:

spigen hard cases are awesome, although i switched to a soft TPU case for my mate 8 now, since my last spigen hard case left some aberrations / scratches on the sides of my previous Nexus 5 after years of taking it off and putting it back on...

Guys there are allot of cases in China, you should check out AliExpress (Chinese Amazon). They ship worldwide and it's cheap.

any other type of case?
a otterbox type case?
