I am sure you guys see the video posted by Engadget (http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/29/nexus-10-hands-on-video/), and just wondering about official smart cover for Nexus 10 that shown in video will be available? you know what I mean like Nexus 7's official smart cover never made it because probably they afraid that Apple sue them...
I know Nexus 10's smart cover seems different than Apple's iPad one, looks like they have modified a lot to avoid being sued by Apple?
what do you think?

I'm with you. I seriously hope they release that smart cover shown in the video. Love the concept of the smart cover, something that doesn't add to the thickness of the device but still covers the screen and can act as a stand.
I'd love something like that, but the cover they showed can't even work as a stand. It's a pretty crappy piece of design work, honestly. I'm hoping for much better from them once things are official.
Very interested to see a closer look at this smart cover and any other official accessories they got coming. I read somewhere Motorola might make an "official" keyboard.

Now if by official keyboard you mean a dock, similar to the Transformer docks from Asus, I might just skip out on the next transformer!
Yeah I have to say I'm not liking the cover much at all.

Why Motorola would make an 'official' product for a Samsung device, is rather a mystery, wouldn't you think?

It's really a "Google" device AFAIK, so it doesn't seem that far out. It seems we always get let down when it comes to Nexus devices and accessories.
What's really going to help a LOT is the cover mounting area...there's nothing stopping third parties from using that same system with their own wide variety of covers.
I can easily see kickstand covers (like the old Zenus cases), segmented Smart Cover knock offs, simple folios, the works, using this mounting system.
And you can bet Google is happy to let third-party Chinese sweatshops churn these out, even if they infringe on Apple work. Why? Because it's doubtful Apple will bother to go after them if they infringe on "Smart Cover" designs (they haven't yet for other tablet covers), and a wide variety of accessories makes it more desirable to the consumer.
I hope this case will be available for the nexus 10:
Samsung BKC-1B1DEBGXEG

I was thinking that 10" wasn't big enough for a decent keyboard, but if you include the bezel, the Nexus 10 is actually 12" diagonal. And if the keyboard case really goes edge to edge like that one, it could have actual full-sized keys. Just save me from that tiny right shift key, ugh. Anyway, neat!
on the google play store under the 'what's in the box' it just says Nexus 10 tablet, so i don't think the smart cover is part of the package from google. hopefully we might be able to get one elsewhere

I just ordered the 32GB Nexus 10, but I am very dismayed at the lack of availability of any type of case for it. Needless to say, that tablet won't be going anywhere except my home. Hurry up, Google, with making the smart cover available for consumers to purchase.
So I heard a rumour that the reason the cover they sent to reviewers isn't for sale is that they didn't get very good feedback on it from the reviewers or the public reading about it.
So, they went back to the drawing board for a more versatile cover, one that serves as a stand as well as a screen protector, and it simply wasn't ready for mass production on launch day.
TL;DR: Patience, good cover coming from Samsung/Google, and of course a plethora of covers from third parties.

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.

Like the shape "Rectangle", and the gesture "Swoop", Apple has a patent on magnets in cases.
Worth reading. They don't only patent a specific implementation, they also claim all derivations.

Uh, I have the official ASUS case and it is not a smart case, and nowhere does it say it is or would be. Source perhaps?
Yes, we all know it has a sensor, but it was never ADVERTISED as having a sensor. My guess is that it's there for either some other future accessory, or ASUS snuck it in for 3rd party case manufacturers to take advantage of only, in an attempt to piss off Apple and bypass their patents.
I, like most of you, am pretty underwhelmed at the quality of cases and covers available for the Nexus 7. Everything I've seen looks extremely bulking and makes the device look terrible. Does anyone know of any case that doesn't make the device look terrible. I just want something that has the smart unlock feature and that can fold to make a stand. The official case from google does none of those and I'm very disappointed in them. Though, I guess it was a lawsuit waiting to happen with Apple I guess

Normally prices on Amazon do not change after the cover is released. I did notice that the slim fit cover for moko changed by a few dollars after launch but nothing drastic. That could have also been because they did 2 recalls on it It is however a risk you take.
As for me I am waiting for some reviews.

I'm looking for recommendations from other users for their top 2 or 3 best keyboard/case combinations for the Nexus 10.

Obviously I should have kept the Minisuit prior to returning it so time is of the essence in getting a replacement ASAP.

I hate to say it but the design of the Surface tablet's keyboard is slick, it provides a front cover and a keyboard all while connecting via its magnetic pogo. I have high hopes someone designs one for the Nexus. Why are we so far behind the ball on this?

Now that I've tested two cheap combos that turned out to be the same units but branded differently, I'm going the separate route. Actually Kensington & another manufacturer (can't remember the name at the moment) make what I think are very good keyboards akin to the Surface.

They also have a couple other cases but the reviews on that aren't as good. The Poetic case isn't the greatest case but it does serve its purpose well.

+1 to this, but I bought the $35 "Poetic Keybook Removable Keyboard" on amazon for the time being.
It has some stupid strap and arbitrary sized keys imo. Also the bluetooth has lag sometimes. I really want them to go the route of the microsoft surface keyboard design. Mainly because of less lag when typing vigorously.
Hopefully this is a sign of more official accessories to come.

I like the concept of not covering the back, but I agree it should fold. It´s seems prety rigid, making it even somewhat uncorfortable to hold the tablet. I will wait for some reviews and photos around here.

Same here, its a crap design for $30. I'm going to stick with the poetic case. Id prefer something that just covered the front (im not clumsy) because the tablet is so thin and light and then folds into a stand but this isnt it.
