I love my Nexus 7 and I bought a pretty cheap and fancy keyboard last week. But the when the keyboard arrived a big problem also frustrated me a lot. I need a DOCK! I searched for the web, trying to find a cheap and useful dock but all the dock seems like comprehensive and pretty much expensive until I watched a video of diy ipad dock. So today I went to the Staples and grabbed a normal business card holder with 2 bucks.
So here it is.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However when I tried to place the Nexus on it, it slipped off.
And here is my solution of this!
YEAH, rubber band. Now it became a perfect dock.
Hope you guys enjoy it! :laugh:

Lol! I bought the same thing a few months back from my local bookstore. Because it's made of metal, you just have to be careful when placing your tablet though. I glued a thin rubber strip on mine.

Welcome to the forum, Retromortal, and thanks for the suggestion.
Hah! I have my Nexus 7 on the same business card holder from Staples. I have it sitting in landscape with the help of a small binder clip (minus the metal arms).
It works pretty well except that it leans a little too far back for my liking.
not a dock
OP needs to investigate the difference between a dock and a stand...
How is this a dock?

Hi guys thought you might like to make one of these... dead easy.
Use a piece of string to hold a case from opening flat, and use the little tabs which usually hold the game / dvd booklet inside the case as perfect little feet to hold your tablet.
Just bend the booklet tabs outwards and the Nexus 7 fits PERFECTLY on them. It's funny how perfect the tablet sits on the case. It's nearly identically DVD size, if the case was just a little larger it would double as a carry case AND stand

Good job on the MacGyver
Broke it!
I ended up making this case in much the same way, though my string was actually some spare ribbon I found on a cat toy. Worked perfectly, but I ended up breaking one of the little booklet holders on the DVD case which made my stand lopsided.
Shouldn't be a problem on the next one now that I know to push more slowly. Cool DIY, thanks!
I like this idea. I love homemade options.
Another cheap trick is to use one of the stands from a one-a-day tear off desk calendar.... you know the black plastic, with a kick stand in the back and two tabs on the front that hold up the paper, and are sold at those calendar kiosks around Christmas...... works great....once the pages are gone
This is great, thanks for sharing.

why on earth would they put that ugly logo on this
i would buy it if it comes without the logo
the logo looks to be a sticker. i will be attempting to remove that sticker and maybe head to the mall later this week and get a vinyl "NEXUS" or maybe just a "7". Also thought about maybe a CM10 or an AOSP. just not sure yet. i'll post pics tonight if it is just a sticker.
Like I said..I already have this case....idont believe its a sticker ...don't bother trying to get it off..just place ur sticker over it

Just got this case in the mail today.
Really nice and snug fit. Only adds a bit of bulk to the Nexus, but not a ton.
The only thing I worry about is that the backing of it is super slick... I can see my Nexus getting bumped and going sliding off whatever it's sitting on.

I purchased http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Poetic-TM-Leather-Case-Cover-Amazon-Kindle-Fire-7-Tablet-Black-/140664905919?pt=US_Tablet_eReader_Cases_Covers_Keyboard_Folios&hash=item20c04820bf#ht_2778wt_1180 to use in combination with the Poetic Element case. I just wanted something that I could use in addition to the shell if I were to want my Nexus to sit upright, or if I was just wanting to take it out with some additional piece of mind.
I had to bend the corner tabs a bit to get it to fit correctly, but it seems to be working alright. It's definitely snug inside this bookshell case. I wasn't too worried about having the Auto sleep functionality, but at least this shows that you can use this type of case in addition to the shell.

Guys,
I ordered mine on Monday and just got it today! I love this case! The fit, feel and function is top notch. I love how the back cover that holds the tablet in place is more of a snap in back cover rather than something that you have to slide the tablet in.
Again I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Hey Clownzer,
Is this a smart cover? Does the sleep/wake function work when you open and the close the case?
thanks!

just received mine in the mail today. The build quality is actually good. The only thing I worry about is that I don't know how well the plastic stays attached to the leather, I could see that being a problem but that is only out of speculation. It has a leather texture with a foam underneath and it feels good. Another feature no one talked about that is well thought out is that the flap that keeps the case shut can be flipped behind and a magnet on the back keeps it from just hanging there when it is opened. The auto turn on works when you open it. I ordered mine from gizmo central.

Hello,
After a long search on the internet to find a dock for my nexus 10 and my pogo cable, I decided to make my own.
I started by making some prototypes made with a sheet of depron and then I made my first with acrylic.
I am very happy to show you.

Thanks for your interest. Yes you can, the cable still removable.

Or you could be a true hero and post up the design to the forum ofc...
Very very nice... That looks really awesome....
I really think you are on to something here. I would absolutely be interested in one if you decide to produce.
I'm very interested too (I'm in Australia). I would think you could do very well selling them through Ebay or Amazon if you can produce them in quantity. :good:
Many thanks for your enthusiasm.
Simple, nice looking and functional. Is it "unmountable"? I mean, you get the pieces and put it togheter, and you can undo it? I would also be interested in this thing (15€ + shipping looks like a good price to me).
Just for help, you can ask some labs to produce this for you if you can model pieces in AutoCAD. I have seen them use the same machine they use with waveguides and PCBs, Maybe you can find some company that accepts this kind of works in metacrilate (not sure if correct word) or PCB material.
Good Luck!
I'm also very interested in the clear dock. Put it up on eBay or Etsy and I'll get in line
I work on it to improve and I will inform you soon.
Looks great
Let me know if you are making these are kits or maybe you should sell them on e-bay look great! I'd like to get one.
On the Asus official website they have pictures of an official origami folding TransCover case (their name). I always loved the original transleeve case on my prime and now on my infinity. However, when you go to the Asus shop it is not listed. Anyone seen one of these, I'd love to get one?

I've read opinions about it. People called it as rag, dishrag.
I ordered one from Amazon.de gonna ship in a few weeks according to seller. Will post I've I get it.
I was looking for one ages ago for my TF700 but nowhere seemed to sell them, so I went for a Versasleeve X instead. Never looked back...
[EDIT:] Oh, and it still fits the TF701t with or without dock
Well I finally tracked one of the official Asus transcovers down on Amazon.co.uk. It was expensive but worth it
It's basically a transleeve but with a full translucent back as well. It has magnets so that the screen auto turns on and off when opening and closing, I'm very pleased with it. Plus you get the 2 way folding origami stand.

Cost me about 40 quid, and it's very good, offers protection front and back. Downsides are you can't use it with the dock and it is very difficult to remove.
