Kroo Neoprene Sleeve.. WONDERFUL!!! - Nexus 7 Accessories

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005C8RB8Y/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
***this is funny that this particular COLOR has such bad reviews because 8 other colors are all 4.5 stars***
There ya have it, the perfect sleeve for your nexus 7. Ever since i saw my mac toting cronie friends slide their macbooks into those neoprene sleeves like a glove, i've longed for the same expereince.
who is this for?
1. If you don't want to compromise the slim design of the nexus with a case.
2. You take your nexus 7 around with you a bunch. Perhaps would like to toss it into a bad or backpack but fear the reprocutions.
Lol as i write that list it starting feeling too much like an infomercial, but seriously, I've never heard of this brand before so i was giddy as could be to come out a victor. I slapped a zagg clear screen cover on my nexus have been walking around with a huge bulge in my pocket due to my fear of what would happen if i put it in my bag with my books and laptop.
The build it top notch. Neoprene feels good, the colors are bright. Zippers are solid and there is a neoprene lip that covers the inside track of the zipper to protect contact against your device. ANNNNNDDD of course it is just wonderful that it literally fits LIKE A GLOOOOVE. zero room for movement. And with a tiny front pocket zipper for perhaps cards, usb cable, or headphones. Other colors run for 8$ ish... red was the most expensive.

Good to know it is working out for you ....I would still be careful if it is really tight although you might not notice it right now but the edges of nexus 7 might start getting scratched.
here is another review from one of the other colors:
"Nice little case but unfortunately it doesn't fit the nexus 7!
Even tho it says it does.
Maybe it does if you don't have any kind of case on the nexus 7 and if you use 4 oz of axle grease!
I am returning it"

Ya ill keep an eye out however I've used it non stop, in out in out, and initially at least no signs of scratches! Ya about that review I did say this was for someone not wanting to use a case, defiantly would not fit. Grease would be a poor solution .... But the whole reason and all my praises came back to the point that it was a snug fit. I'll say it again with a naked nexus 7 its a perfect fit. Not hard at all to get it in and it fits perfectly and snug

Cheers
Thanks been looking for ANY REVIEW on Kroo cases.
I'll see if this one fits my budget.
I like my Nexus naked, but if I want to bring it to the gym if I plan to do a big bike session it's good to be able to catch up on some Tv shows without having to worry about it.

Hi there,
Its a pretty sleeve, i use sleeve case with my notebook, although i prefer using a flip case on my nexus, since it feels more secure, depending on the cases ofc. P.e. I got one from Belkin witch is designed for nexus 7 only, the tablet does not feel bulky at all, in fact it looks pretty nice, ill take some pictures so you can see what im talking about. Still, you have that extra factor, if the N7 falls with a cover it might not break the screen, but if it falls without it, well, that could be an whole other story. I respect your opinion though.
Ill be opening a thread about my case later, hope you check it out.

I prefer my tablet naked as I feel any case adds bulk and weight I don't want. Yet I worry about damage whenever I go anywhere. A sleeve like this is a great solution to my worries. I have one for my netbook and love it but never thought about a sleeve for my Nexus, no idea why.
Here's an eBay link to the same / a similar case:

Like i said, i respect the users opinions, though i got to agree with some, when they say the tablet gets a bit scratched over the corners. But when handled with care maybe it doesnt. Would never know since i never used it.

i have a few of these? we get them very cheap in the uk i actually used to put 2 on either side of my acer iconia a500 before putting it in its own neoprene
you can get em high street ranging from £1 - £25 lol

Might go naked on my N7 with this. With a Screen Protector, of course. Looks very nice and thanks for the review.

I used this for a long time and it worked perfectly even with a tpu case on the Nexus 7. After trying a few sleeves this one was truly a perfect fit and I don't think it would have damaged the Nexus without the tpu case it was a good fit without being too tight of a fit.

Well spotted (if not photographed ), hoping the Defender becomes available outside the U.S. soon.
ummm, it fills my lappy lol
I just picked one up and it works great. I don't think the buttons are hard to press at all...
My only complaint right now is that the cutout on the back that allows the Dell logo to shine though isn't lined up right at all. It's kind of annoying...
I'm going to write Otterbox about it. I'll post pics later if I remember...
Is it thicker then the Impact case?
Edit: pic links should be fixed...
For everyone's viewing pleasure I have (had) the impact case, decided to go for the commuter mainly for the fact that it looked easier to pull out of my pocket and I liked the style more. Seems to be the same thickness, also seems to fit a bit more snug which I really like. Only thing I may not like is the plug at the bottom for the charge port, would like it to fit a bit more snug. Other than that, LOVE it.
In case your curious, photos taken with my lady's evo (not that impressed with th quality IMO...)

I bought one of the cheap jelly cases on eBay for 6.97. It actually is slimmer then otterbox but still offers protection. I prefer it over my amzer jellycase and otterbox impact case.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Well when I look close, the logo is low to the left, but not cut off anywhere. I wonder if the sticker on the back varies between streaks - its not a imprint or impression, literally just a sticker. But i do wonder if its the case or the logo. Seemed alright on the impact as well. Doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of play with the case, so I don't think there's a 'trick' to getting it lined up? I took the case off, then put it back on... logo still sits low and to the left of the circle like before.
I think you're right that it's a sticker, but I think the battery cover is indented a bit where the sticker goes so it would be hard to line it up wrong on the battery cover.
I could deal with the small amount yours is off, but mine is way off.
Here is how mine sits, I'm going to email Otterbox about this and see what they say...
That would irritate me
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Yeah, yours is way off... I'd be disappointed as well with that. Another reason it's probably the sticker - the commuter has 2 separate layers. You wouldn't think both layers would be off by that much...

I just bought my phone from Best Buy a couple days ago, maybe Dell did something different with the battery cover with the Best Buy phones?

I doubt that... Changing the position of the sticker would mean changing the factory build process... I doubt Dell would do something silly like that since the cost involved.
have a few questions, how easy is to get the cover and the back door on/off to replace the battery? is the otterbox really tight or is it easy to remove? and why would you pick one against the other? and how do both perform when playing "draw" (cowboy style) with your phone, can you in a hurry effitiently take out your streak from your trouser/pants pockets to answer a call ON TIME? How many rings before you have the streak up to your ear?
sorry i have so many questions

- The impact is easier to get on/off, since it's just one layer. The commuter does fit tighter, but I wouldn't consider it "difficult" to remove and get access to your batter.
- Why one or the other? For me, the commuter looks and feels of higher quality, fits more snug, seems to have good corner protection. The answer to all your questions contribute to why one or the other.
- Taking it out of your pocket - main reason for me to get the commuter. Its easier to get in/out of your pockets with the hard shell. But i like that you still have some grip with the silicone on the sides and front. Can't comment on how many rings, but i'd say its close to as if it didn't have any case at all.
- I will say the impact is much better in terms of grip. I'm never worried holding this one handed in landscape when i had the impact. The commuter makes me a bit more cautious, but isn't like it's slippery either. The impact seemed like it was glued to the leather seats in the car - commuter, not as much but better than stock
Thanks !! very helpful.
Have any of you got the invisibleshield full body protector on? Am wondering if it will fit with the commuter case, thanks.
Also anyone in the UK able to buy the commuter case as that's where I am located.

Verizon Xperia Case is Recommended

Hi Everyone...just received my case from Verizon...it's this one:
(d'oh...I'm a new user and it won't let me post links...it's the black one on the Verizon Wireless site that has the hole for the xperia logo and company name. Also it has the circles emanating from the logo)
Just wanted to say that I highly recommend it. It snaps on securely and actually makes the device look a bit cooler, with the back of the case accentuating the details of the phone (the SE logo, the controls, the camera). It feels like hard rubber and doesn't stick in my pocket (some of the early phone cases were hard to pull out of my pocket because they seemed to have static-cling with the innards of my pocket). It adds a bit of depth to the phone which actually makes it feel better when playing games.
The power button is a bit harder to press with the case on but I've adjusted to using my fingernail rather than my finger itself. Everything else works just as well.
I know some people are wondering which case to buy. This one is expensive, but I think it's worth it.
I also just got this case today and I would also recommend it. It was $25, but well worth it imo. Very good quality and looks the best of all the cases. It fits perfect and doesn't make the phone too bulky at all.
I was trying to decide between this case and the other one that Verizon offers but decided to go with this because like you said, the material won't collect lint and get caught up inside your pocket. Plus I liked how it had the cutout for the SE logo and Xperia.
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...ryDetails&archetypeId=12635&accessoryId=47578
My local verizon store offers the same case with a semi clear orange plastic that looks great. I have to agree that this case feels superior to others I've tried.
Damn in in the UK. ..
Sent from my R800i using XDA Premium App
lol! I must be the only person in the forums who HATES that type of "case". Its two pieces of a plastic shell that have sharp edges. I have that stupid case, it collects inordinate amounts of lint, I have to take it off frequently to clean my phone. Sadly, it also does nothing to protect the device. I guess to each his own, but I don't recommend it. It really takes away from the phones natural style. I may put it back on to reevaluate since I only used it for a day before peeling that crap off; but I'm looking at a picture as I write this and the same feelings of disgust are bubbling back up from the pit of my stomach... One can only hope someone will eventually develop a case for sliders that isn't 2 overpriced thin strips of plastic. Final thought, reminds me of the original XBox controller, and not the S type.
If you take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015211 You'll see many reports of people who are quite happy with their case, even though they're very very cheap.
The verizon link is for customers only from here - could you please post some pictures or links to them. Thank you

here's one in the UK
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-SHE..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item2a11cee370
There's this one as well, its a gel case, I'd prefer this as the gel ones seem a bit more durable than the hard ones in my experience
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gel-Case-..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3cb96665ce
I would get one but I just got the extended battery and have a zagg shield over the other bits (which I would recommend but does affect the touch surface)
@wired84,
Uh mate, I think you got it wrong. They were asking about the Verizon case. What makes it so cool is the ripple effect and the Xperia being visible. Not just any hard case (or gel case).
Circle Case
Yes I am sure the case that is more expensive is better. I went cheap and got a crappy case that didn't last. The things that hold the case to the phone snapped off and now I'm left with 2 rubber flaps that fall off.
I also think gel cases are the best cases, however i would like a case which doesnt make the play a bigger brick than it already is..
+1 recommending Verizon case. Bought it with the money I saved buying the Play on sale, great case. Certainly better than the one they sold me for my old Droid.

Im looking for a folding case similar to the ones for an ipad.

Me too! But from what I've seen, there's nothing similar...I'm not liking ANY of the cases available for the Nexus 7 right now...all seem too bulky and just doesn't go with the whole tablet...

I'd say there's probably pretty huge demand for this among N7 buyers. One of the big draws for a 7" tablet is portability compared to a 10". I can fit the thing in my pants pocket or my inner coat pocket with ease and no real additional bulk. These huge covers currently on sale seriously take away from that.
I'd glady pay $25-40 for a tpu case with a folding smart cover that can be used as a stand as well. It would be thin, give protection on all sides & turn screen off automatically.
I agree the market is there for something like this, with the sales through the roof of the N7 I do think we will see alot of quality cases soon.

I would love to have something like the Apple Smart Cover with Android Robot in GREEN!!!
I would like one too. Almost all cases for Nexus 7 that I have seen just makes the device bulkier.
I'd love a smart cover like the one for iPad's. I use a carbon fibre sticker on the back of my iPad to protect it and with the smart cover for the front, it hardly adds to the thickness. Currently using a playbook case (until the case I ordered comes in) and it definitely adds bulk.

Same here. I want something thin and foldable that's not cheap leather crap.

The official non-bezel-covering unobtrusive case thread

I hate the cases that cover the bezel and basically leave only the screen viewable. I find they add bulk, get in the way of your fingers sometimes, etc. This is the thread for cases that don't do this. Preferably these cases have only 2-3 "layers." A lid (or not), the tablet, then the back, and the holding mechanism is typically kind of invisible or unobtrusive. I find it's generally the fourth layer in the middle that goes on top of the bezel or on the back where there's a rotation mechanism that adds the unneeded bulk. Hopefully these cases still allow you to pocket your N7. Personally I'd love some kind of TPU case with a kickstand, but no luck so far.

I've been looking at that one myself, nice and slim but too expensive for what it is at £24 inc del (ignoring the vastly over-inflated 'original' price it was never sold at). I'll wait and see what price it ends up being sold for.
I have the top one listed. The black. Works good. Adds quite a bit of thickness but comes off easy. I think I'll use it to snap on when I leave the house and run nekkid when at home.
The Smart Cover works very well and doesn't turn the screen off when folded behind. I was wondering what that little lanyard loop was for, stylus. Good to know. Again it is nice that this case can just pop off whenever you need and not requiring any extra effort to get it off like a sleeve or a tight fit. The N7 is pretty snug in there but comes off with little effort.
I have the slim Poetic Smart Case on order. I like a thin profile. So far I've tried a TPU case and this one. As long as the Poetic doesn't have some major flaw, I'll probably switch to that once I get it. Sure it's $20 but I spent $30 for my Ringke Slim for my Galaxy Nexus.
I have this one, which I just posted a review about, with pics:

I prefer the cases which allow the 360 degree rotation, so those will be a bit bulkier. Don't mind it though since I prefer the versatility over the slight bulkiness.

There are a few minor differences hence multiple links. Some are different prices, some will be out of stock, some have a stylus loop, some come in different colors, some have a differently designed speaker cutout, etc. So I didn't feel it was redundant.

I agree. I was hoping for a thread like this to pop up thank goodness
I also hate bezel covering cases. Hopefully more pop up.
I'd waiting on a nexus 7 version of http://www.incipio.com/BlackBerry-PlayBook-Cases-Accessories/Incipio-BlackBerry-PlayBook-Executive-Premium-KICKSTAND-Leather-Case.asp
Waiting for the MoKo to come out with more colors! Love this style but it would be perfect if it had a kickstand in the back for portrait mode. Not sure why anyone hasn't made one like that yet.
Please keep this thread updated! I'm still holding out on buying a new case until I find one that's just what I want (I already have a cheapo case protecting my N7 for the time being). Thanks!
I would like something that doesn't snap over the back cover but replaces it similar to what the galaxy note has since the back just snaps off. Here is an example of a very ugly one I can't find the matte black or white ones with a quick google search but they exist link. The only addition I would like to see is the tri fold front cover with magnet to make it a smart cover like this case. If the case had the same outside texture as the stock back that would be a bonus as well. I doubt we will get one though.
I have the poetic case ams and it works quite well.
It's still thin and pocketable while offering great protection due to the sturdy front cover.

Slim Flip Case

About to pick up a 7 today and want to get a good case for it. I'm looking for one that adds very little bulk, yet has a flip cover and that doubles as a stand. I've seen the Poetic Slimline and Speck Fitfolio so far and both seem pretty good but I just want to make sure I haven't missed any other options. Thanks!
I kind like how this case looks.

I've heard a lot of talk about the poetic but I'm curious if the plastic back part gets all scratched up if it gets placed in bags or desks often. I'm also curious about other options.
Take a look at the eBay slim case I reviewed. It is a good case. Still my every day case.

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not a fan of the ones that overlap like that into the front of the device.

I've tried about all of them except the speck and my favorite is the moko slim fit. They even have one in real leather now.

It's durable, feels good to carry around and has a lifetime warranty so if you wear it out they'll send you a new one.
The poetic slimline falls apart after about a week. It's good while it lasts.
I don't have the nillkin yet, but I think thats the other one to watch.

I'm very happy with the "Nexus 7 UltraSlim Case"
Just stumbled onto this: http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Magnetic...75047&sr=1-6&keywords=moko+slim+folio+nexus+7
Has anyone tried it?

This one looks like a winner for me as I'm also looking for a slim case.
Actually, its between this one and the nilkon. I can't decode.

I have the Poetic Slimline. I was searching for a cover just like you were, and it was the best one I could find. I love it. It it super slim, high quality, and it comes in a bunch of colors now.
hit up the thanks button plz:

If you're the type of person that prefers quality made things then stay away from the Poetic case! I regret buying the Poetic. I just barely received it today and can't stand this cheap quality case. After owning cases for iPads and Kindles, I don't even know how anyone can tolerate these poorly made cases.
I still can't decide between the Nillkin and the Moko

I too am searching for a good, slim case that will not fray like the poetic, nor be faulty like the veo

Thats pretty cool looking. Looks alot like my Speck case.
My buddy has a poetic case and between my Speck and his the speck is a bit better. His is slightly thinner but the magnetically closing front isnt as good as the specks clasp. The clasp holds much better in a bag than the magnet and the speck has far superior viewing angles for the stand.

I don't understand the Poetic-hating. I love mine. Had it for a couple weeks now, and it is holding together fine. No fraying. This thing is as good as I could've asked it to be.
Threw a couple decals on there and BAM. Awesomeness.

So don't order this case: http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Magnetic...75047&sr=1-6&keywords=moko+slim+folio+nexus+7
The seller never shipped it and after 3 days since the expected delivery, and no way to contact the seller, Amazon had to refund the order.
