So Google has yet to release the Nexus 7 Case.. but its for sale at Sams Club?
I don't have a Sams Club membership, and I do not plan on support Walmart anymore than my wife already does...
Anyone know of a case, that is similar to the "Official" Nexus 7 case, but it available somewhere I do not need a membership?
I like the small/tight feature of that case. I can not stand a big bulky case that adds to the profile of the device.. I like how I can slip it in my back pocket, and every case I've found in the stores removes that ability.
As far as i know the travel case is for sale but the premium case is not yet released although pictures leaked

Seems dumb to me that they would wait so long to release the case. I'm holding out for an otterbox case.
The case listed on the Google Play store as "coming soon" is what you are referring to as a 'travel case' ... have not seen anything about a premium case.

You can order the travelcase at the asus website. I cant order from the play store so dont know about that. Premiumcase details are here:

I bought a proper Nexus case from Carphone Warehouse earlier today....it's kinda like a grey rubbery case with a flap that covers the screen...
Was looking at he case but decided against it on two things,1 there is no stand to prop up for watching films etc. 2 The cover flaps around so all kinds of crap can get on the screen if left in my bag.Shame as the rest of it and the way it holds the nexus is sweet

Was that the one made by Asus? Most Gamestops carry it, I looked at one today. Wasn't impressed with the feel, I'm sure that would slip out of my hands at some point.

looks like it. i've modded mine by cutting the useless flap off and keeping the back portion of it intact.
the flap if you join two ends up, actually then doubles up as a nice stand to lean the tablet against to watch films.

I also bought mine two days ago.
Only available in blue and pinks; None of the greys where in stock.
The grip is nice and if you flip the cover, the tablet stands in landscape easily and quite stable.
I attach some pictures of mine.
How well does it prop itself up for watching stuff

Well, it is quite reliable if the surface is flat.
I will try to take a picture of it tomorrow.

Well i asked and there is a Seidio case in the works. There is no ETA for it which sucks. Its a active case with a multifunction cover.
I have used their products for a while and im happy with them just hope it comes out soon because i need something.

seidio cases are pretty good but they usually take much longer time to comeout..

I had one of these for my kindle fire and loved it. I'm getting by with a cheap case for my N7 until the Seidio case comes out.
I'll be keeping my eye out for this also. I've had seidio active cases on mine and my wifes nexus s's for over a year and a half now. They are great and have held up well. I like how they feel in the hand with their grippy silicon like material and they give the device great protection.

Was on their website and they have one case available, without a cover unfortunately.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
They are still not shipping but i saw it. The other one should be the same as the one in the picture but with a cover of course.
Debating if i want to go with the regular active case and a screen protector or the other case.
For those that havent used seidio before. Its kinda like a tpu case. Rubber with a hard plastic shell over it.
I have used them on my phones for a while now and im happy with these cases.

I love my surface case for my phone. The material they use is perfect. It is grippy for your fingers yet slippery in you pocket.

Pics of the other case are up. I like it. Im getting it. The best case to date in my opinion.. Still coming soon but shouldnt be long now

A 'Surface' would be smaller, but it looks good. First to market will get my money. Otterbox is going to lose out it seems.

I tried otterbox with my phone and i didn't like it. I sometimes need to take the case off and that is a pain with otterbox

When I asked them they said there aren't current plans to release a Surface case for the N7, just an Active case.

Hi there! Did you end up getting the case? If so, how do you like it? Did you get the model with the cover? If so how bulky does the unit become with the cover attached? (Either on the front or back).
It looks like there's a recessed section on the cover (to make room for the adjustable stand), but I'm worried that it will add too much bulk to the profile of the N7.
Thanks!

Its not out yet unfortunately. I am definitely ordering this when it comes out. I have the Gumdrop case now, which is nice but it does not have the same viewing options like this one. I cant wait for this to come out.

Suppose to be coming out later today, I just called and they said to call back in two hours. Plus they have responded to my facebook post and said blue and black 10/15. Red 10/17.
Just add this to my list of growing cases and money spent.

Ditto lol...I pulled the trigger on a Noeve case, and it was about as expensive as my treegloo, but I cancelled it on the this verge of this case being released this week.

Just ordered mine too. I've been waiting awhile for a brand I trusted, thanks Seidio!
I think some of the other more popular case makers missed the boat on the N7.

Hello All,
My brother is an avid Star Wars fan and has a GN2 as well and is looking to see if he can find a Star Wars case for it. I looked everywhere on Google and it seems that the only cases I find that are Star Wars related are for the GN1 or the S3.
Does anyone know where I can find a few to look through or a vendor that will make one with an image I provide them?
Thanks!
Taxmaster
I saw on r2d2 3M gel decal/skin on Amazon that you may want to take a look at. I'm not a huge Starwars fan but it was very cool looking and I'm considering getting one myself. Sadly I don't have a link.

I would check gela skins, not sure if they have note 2 versions yet but I was able to upload my own photo for my ipad and it looks pretty nice, its just 3m sticker but if you are not looking for bulky case its an alternative

Thank you for the tip, but I'm probably going to wait for a legit case rather than a sticker. I'll pass this on though to anyone I know who is looking for that look though!!!
Yeah definitely get the feeling especially when the case is plastic comparing to the aluminum on ipad, maybe look for similar customizable case, I was in china for business 2 week ago and was able to see some customizable plastic cases, not the greatest quality but I think all image designed cases are typically plastic.
Not sure if there are similar options in the states but for plastic cases they are not that bad I was able to get one for around 3 dollars

Casemyway lets you use your own pictures printed on a case, but their note 2 case is still " coming soon"
Other than that, I know zagg makes custom skins.

I wish there was an actual verbal review. Maybe to describe the quality of the materials and such. And of course to let us know about the possible signal problem. Too bad that it doesn't do nfc bring such an expensive case

But for $42 plus shipping.... Gtfo lol
Um, I give it a week before the brushed aluminum is a scratch fest, plus, drop it once and your pretty $50 case has a big nasty dent.
Imma need another steel case for that aluminum case

The OP should put an apple sticker on the back and tell all the apple-fans that it is the new iPhone 6. Then say, "But please don't tell anyone else. I only told you, 'cause I trust and like you."
I do want the blue one in a bad way but I don't think NFC will work through this.
Can't see buying a case where I am more nervous about scratching the case than the phone.

I've used Qmadix for my older Droid line ups and liked them.
I was looking forward to getting one for my Note 2 but the styling was a 180 degree turn.
Having said that, the product did a good job protecting my Droid 3 so the build is most likely there for the product offered for the Note 2. I just don't like the look of them on this go around.
Thanks for the reply, I picked one up cheap. Should be here any day now. Good to know protection is there.

How much is "cheap"? They don't sell them on Amazon, only seems to be directly from the store for $35. Once you get it, can you please post the picture of the front/back and comment on how slippery back of the case is and if there any lip? Really hard to judge by looking at pictures on their website.

Sounds like a good deal, considering it's back to $29 at shopandroid. They also have a very short video of the case. Outer shell looks kind of shiny and front lip hardly noticeable; don't want to jump into any conclusion so let's just wait for your review.
... ps: one of the reviews does state case is very slippery and side grips are not good, as I suspected by looking at it
I tried and it's nice...
I got this one a while back when I got my note and its decent but I dont like the feel of the back. It either feels slick or sticky.
