The aim of this thread is to survey what accessories you decided to use with this awesome tablet. There are other threads which have very detailed reviews and recommendations so let us just keep this simple for easy read. List the accessory, it's function only if not obvious from name, brand, price if you still remember, and where you bought it. Links are good too. If you want to add your .02 for buying then feel free to add them as you wish.
For example:
case : mobo : $14.99 on Amazon
screen protector : bodyguardz : $18.95 on Amazon
stylus : El cheapo from dollar store
If this is a repeat thread, I did not see the original and will delete thread promptly. Thanks.

this is my wife's setup, i got the 5 dollar folio case instead of the TPU a more expensive stylus
I have 2 N7's. For the one I keep in the house I have a "i-blason slim leather portfolio auto wake/sleep stand case" in black, (Amazon $19.99) a sgp steinheil crystal clear screen protector, (Amazon $21.99) and I bought a pack of two stylus from T-Mobile ($19.99)that are also pens, they're really nice.
For the other N7 that I take with me to work, use as a gps, etc...I have the "extact tpu x design hybrid case in black, (Amazon $5.95 with free shipping) crazy on digital clear screen protectors, (Amazon $4.85) and I keep the N7, with the tpu on, in a "Mofi 7 inch zip tablet sleeve",(Amazon $9.99) it's green and has Andy the android on it...love it! I also have a "blurex ultra slim multi view stand case" in black, (Amazon $12.99) I switch back and forth between the tpu case and the blurex on the 2nd N7...depending what I'm out and about doing. I also bought a "belkin" stand for watching movies when I don't want the N7 in a case...the blurex case doesn't have anything around the screen like the i-blason does, it's a completely bare screen except for 6 leather clips on the corners to keep the N7 in place. I bought a pair a skull candy ear buds in red, (T-mobile, $19.99) love those! I think that's all I have for accessories right now for both N7's. I bought 3 stylus (styli?) on Amazon for $1.15, they came in a pack of 3, bought them before I found the ones at t-mobile...prefer the ones from T-Mobile, much more nicer, they are skinnier and the rubber tip is firmer.

a while ago, i bought a prepaid cricket android phone + bluetooth speaker deal from bestbuy for 50 bucks, i sold the phone for 50 bucks on craigslist and got the speaker for almost nothing
http://reviews.bestbuy.com/3545/372...aker-red-reviews/reviews.htm?sort=helpfulness
since i found the nexus 7 speaker to be kinda weak, this small portable bt speaker is nice to have as long as you don't pay too much for it
The app "volume+ (volume booster) " by Meltus, helps the volume on the N7, like A LOT!
Case: Treegloo case-Black green inner lining, wood frame with suede lining with kinetic latch system.
Stylus: Kickstarter Solid Titanium Pen + Stylus-on order
Screen Protection: Xtreme Guard-wet install
OTG Host Cable: None
screen protector ，micro sd card reader with otg cable
This is a little video reviewing the case that I am rocking at the moment. Sorry it's a bit rough, you tube destroyed the aspect ratio. Please like it to help me out

Case: CaseCrown Bold Standby Case
Stylus: Dollar Store unbranded
OTG: Chinese cheap-o via amazon
First cheapo-until-something-better-was-available cover: KaysCase S-Line TPU
Nice color options, fits the tablet well. Standard TPU case but I liked the blue color and the simple design.
Primary cover: Official Asus Travel Cover
I actually like it, I just wish it came stock as a smart cover that held itself closed. I added a tiny thin magnet to the front flap so at least I get the smart function. I could probably solve the "doesn't hold itself shut" issue if I cared enough, but it suits for now. I'd like to see the other colors from Asus, especially if they come with a built-in smart cover. I also want to see the Premium Asus case when it's available.
Screen protector: amFilm Premium Screen Protector Film Clear
Basic dry application screen protector. Gets the job done cheaper than some, two pack in case you mess up the installation.
Stylus: Boxwave Evertouch
Feels lightweight and kind of cheap, but the mesh tip glides smoother than any rubber one I've used. Good color options.
OTG Cable: Need to purchase, but I just saw this 4-in-1 connector in another thread, and it looks promising, though a lot more expensive than the <$1 Hong Kong cables.
Gamepad: So far I'm just using my Wiimote/Classic Controller because it's what I've got lying around. Works well enough for emulators.
Skinomi Black Carbon back and sides.
Steinheil SGP Ultra Fine Protector.
Right Angle OTG cable.
Arkon Vehicle/Smooth Desk Surface mount.
CrazyOnDigital Car Adapter (Not here yet).
Future: Pelican 1055, waiting on Otterbox. May get a Gumdrop case if Otterbox is stupid enough not to make a case.
RF
Treegloo Cover
Martin Fields Screen Protector
A right-angled OTG cable
Bought 2 of these and they arrived yesterday, gotta say I am a huge fan! $5 with free shipping, arrived in just over a week and fits the nexus 7 like a second skin.
It raises the front of the device so it won't be scratched if face down on a surface, has all the cut outs for charger, volume, power etc and the design looks nice and it doesn't feel cheap at all.
Will post pics when I get a chance but thought I would give a heads up, instead of paying $30+ for the other cases..this is a winner!

Right side is a little bit looser then the rest of the case though, but not too big of a deal.

Same case is on Amazon for $5.95 shipped. It has two reviews, which aren't good, only 2 stars.

Yep I pretty much bought the exact same TPU case the other day from eBay UK
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221111761...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
even came with a cheap plastic screen protector and some naff mini stylus xD
Just bought this Case 10$ with free amazon prime two day shipping. Looks great and very generic so it will fit any 7" tablet. Also has the built in magnet that will wake and turn off the tablet. I'll post some pics when it arrives friday. Enjoy
Exact (TM) Leather Folio Case for Google Nexus 7
Love their stand setup, hate that it covers the bezel and adds quite a bit of bulk.
Hello all
I am trying to find my perfect case here. I usually have a vertical flip case for my phones, but with my Note 2, I plan on using the Otterbox Commuter (or Defender) case. I will also have a Spigen Ultra Oleophobic screen protector on my device.
Even though I will have a screen protector on, and a rugged case, I still want to have a flip cover. The phone will be in my pocket, but hey, a screen protector can only do so much.
What I am looking for, is an Otterbox type case (in terms of ruggedness), with a flip cover (preferably vertical, but horizontal is fine).
So far I have come up with nothing. If I order a Noreve case, it will protect my device, but I don't know how much abuse the device will be able to take. I am used to devices with recessed screens, but when I went to the HD2, that was a whole new ball game.
I modified a no-name silicon bumper to work with my official samsung flip-cover. I also had a no-name hard plastic screen protector. I ditched the silcon bumper for daily use as it made it stick to the lining of pockets. The no-name cheap hard plastic screen protector is however still on.
It cost me about 2 dollars, was simple to apply (it almost falls into place without bubbles, lint) and is almost invisible -when the screen is on. It is visibly marked to some extent when the screen is black so i intend to splash out another 2 dollars in a couple of weeks. I could buy a 10 pack i suppose and change every other month if i needed to at that price
So, my Note 2 is coming in the mail tomorrow (yay! though I kinda accidentally paid too much for it, especially with new rumors of Note 3... oh well). Anyway, I'm trying to stay on a budget for a case--if I bother to get one at all--and I've narrowed it down to:
-Seidio CSK3SSGT2K-BK ACTIVE Case with Metal Kickstand - $21.48
OR
-iSmooth screen protector - 3 pack - $9.97 AND
-Diztronic High Gloss Clear Flexible TPU Case - $9.99
--Total: $19.96
Want to keep it to around $20 total, so I can use the $5 remainder ($25 free shipping) to add on a Nexus 10 case for a gift: MoKo Slim-Fit Multi-angle Folio Cover Case for Google Nexus 10 - $5.99
So, question for all you case-using Note 2 owners:
1) Which do you think is more necessary: a hard-backed plastic/TPU case, or a screen protector?
2) What do you think of these options; do you have any others?
1. For me, both the case and the screen protector is necessary specially when you use your phone on outdoors. As the saying goes, its better to be safe than sorry.
2. I'm still waiting for my UAG case and my spigen screen protector, Currently I'm only using a cheap TPU case and a screen protector. You might want to check out the other thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931209&page=104 and you might get some idea on other cases.
I got two cases free from Best Buy with my Note 2 purchase.
(It was for the $50 reserve offer, but since that was only for upgrades, I got free accessories).
One was the Seidio brand (in blue) which has a nice kickstand in the back, and the other Samsung flip cover.
I am still planning on installing a screen protector (iSmooth) on my Note 2.
Okay, went for the screen protector & case option. I was concerned about the stylus potentially scratching the phone; now I guess I don't need to worry about that. Thanks for the help!
