I'm looking for something with the equal protection of a TPU case but combined with that of a flip case. After looking through 20 pages on Amazon, I'm starting to think that it might not exist. I would like full coverage on the edges of the device and also on the back. There doesn't really have to be anything on the bezel, but if there is, I won't mind. And then, of course, a cover over the front. If anyone has something along the lines of what I'm describing, I would really appreciate it.

That case looks awesome. It could be exactly what I'm looking for. Would you mind posting a few pictures with the Nexus inside just so I can see how much is covered? Thank you!

Be wary of that sellers description, it's not a rotating case. It is available from lots of eBay sellers in many colours though and would do the job nicely.

I suspected it probably wasn't because it didn't look like one. But that's not something I'm really looking for so it will still work.

I purchased a brand new case crown case off ebay for $12.50 shipped.
It is a PU leather enclosure with auto wake/sleep function along with additional magnets to keep the case closed. The inside is lined and holds the device securely. There are cutouts for all ports and speaker. I really like it. I picked mine up in an "android green" color. You can also prop up the device. I had other cases similar to this for the KF 1st gen and KFHD.

Thanks for sharing the close-up photos. I use a cheap and simple black silicon skin (which I love), but I saw your product on eBay and was wondering how it looked in real life.

Which silicone skin did you buy??? I'm also looking for one that would be tight fitting
I have the same case (mines black where yours is blue though) picked mine up local for 30 dollars including a screen protector. Was the only one I could find that would allow me to see my skin through the case. The kicksand turned out to be a handy bonus.
Here's mine in glorious orange (makes the Tab easier to find around the house)

Bought from the same ebay seller as roy8846's and I'm equally impressed. Doesn't cover the bezel at all.
It's really well made with no rough edges and the silicone isn't rubbery like the cheapo phone skins I used to get from ebay.
For the price its an excellent buy!
Got one of these in black an i have to say its the best case ive had for the tab. Kickstand comes in.useful too.

lump on the side...
I see that the one side of the case is not as flush/tight fitting as the rest. My BELKIN Grip Vue silicone case does the exact same thing! I exchanged mine 2 times and still get this lump(as if the case was bit too small) on the side.
I don't like it, i bought a neoprene case by Bugatti!

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.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
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.
I liked the Poetic Slimline with the smart cover, but I'm hoping for something a little more quality. Anybody else holding out for better cases or is this best we've seen?
Yeah, I know what you mean. I made the mistake of impulse buying the Asus TPU case that doesn't stay closed. I'm currently tempted by the Portenzo Hardback because I like the idea of it looking like a moleskin book, but I'd also like something that didn't require "adhesives" and could pivot on a desk.
I have order the nilkin tpu case but im waiting something better with smart cover from bigger players like belkin...
I am. I went with a Portenzo initially but the case just didnt meet my expectations so Im in the market for sometihng new. I like the Blurex slim fit folio but I dont really want a black case.
I'm waiting for rokform to come out with a case... rokform.com I emailed them and asked if they were in the process of making a case and they said yes but no eta.

I'm building one... with an otp keyboard/hub/card reader should be fun when the bits arrive
I just ranted a bit on another thread on this.
I sure hope someone, somewhere comes out with a decent case. Of seems everyone else making 7 inch tablets or EReaders seems to come out with very nice slime cover/cases ((Samsung, amazon kindles, hell even kobo). It has been long enough already.
To answer the question directly, yes I'm waiting anxiously for anything better.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Nope. I usually am all about craftsmanship, etc. but for some reason, a cheapo case is good enough for me. I guess because the "better" cases are almost always also bulkier and/or gaudier.
Edit: by the way, I have the same case as the OP and it does everything I need a case to do...basically protect the screen when shoved in a bag and not cost too much.
I'm waiting for Incipio to get their offerings on the table. A Lexington or LGND version would be great.
Hey guys,
we might have a couple of new winner:
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/624779051/leather_case_for_google_nexus_7.html
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/624836033/google_nexus_7_leather_case.html
They are similar to the poetic slimfit but hopefully they don't have the draw back and flaws.
(they seem to better protect the device than the other slim ebay cases)
I already asked the manufacturer if the cover properly fold all the way back, and if the auto sleep/wake function is triggered when the cover is fold back. waiting for the answer.
The problem: we need to buy at least 100 cases (wholesale manufacturer) ...
and I wasn't able to find these cases from a reseller neither on ebay nor on amazon ?

I can't see it being viable really, since the iPhone is flat sided and the Nexus 7 is, well, not. Also, do you want one for the 4 or the 7? Title says 7, post says 4. Regardless, unless you modify a TPU case, I don't see it happening.

To show the pattern and thinness: (see third attached photo)
The 'basketbally' pattern gives it a really nice grip and feel, the reflective 'X' is also grippy in a weird way. I don't miss the naked back at all.
I have never uploaded photos on XDA before and this is on the XDA app so I don't know how I will go...
EDIT: BTW, this is just a cheap Chinese eBay generic X design case, there are hundreds of eBay sellers selling these.

I have an Incipio case on mine. Fits perfectly, keeps your device safe from scratches. Doesn't do much else but looks good and is a good quality piece of plastic. I like it because it actually keeps my thin tablet thin, while still offering some protection unlike other cases which make your thin tablet into thick beast. It also comes with a screen protector so you can save money on that. It's a little under a millimeter thin all around.
http://www.amazon.com/Incipio-Feath...id=1358535542&sr=8-1&keywords=incipio+nexus+7
Pretty much the same as the Insipio but way cheaper are the hoard of cheap Chinese made cases just like those found on eBay for less than 10 bucks even from domestic sellers although the direct from China ones are cheaper yet. Search hard plastic Nexus 7 case to see which ones I mean. Search hard Nexus 7 case to find cheaper ones from a huge list of cases including TPU ones although I find it quite a stretch to call TPU "hard." I have one of these on my HTC Flyer and love it although I never even looked for one for my Nexus since I wanted something over the screen.
