Hey guys! In bought my buddy's nexus recently and was wondering if we can ever expect an Otterbox case for it. Anybody heard anything about it at all, affirmative or otherwise? I'd love to see one.
Cheers!

There's one coming soon. Search for Nexus 7 on the OtterBox site to find it.
I have an otter box for almost every other device I own, but for some reason they have been dragging their feet on making one for the n7.... I read the reviews and bought a seidio active case.... basically the same thing with the exception that there is no clear screen protector present... Look into it... rubberized cover, exoskeleton, hard cover.....

I think that was his point, the search function works well and it only takes a second to use it or as in this case scan down the page. It's not the crime of the century to post duplicates but it is annoying for other forum users.

Nothing i've hear of tbh, but, I did find my old pouch and, suffice to say, that if the power button wasn't on the side (rather the top) it'd be perfect. I'm already starting to see microscopic scratched on the battery door. Thank you BBY for your Black Tie protection.

I don't think it's neoprene like the Nexus One pouch; it looks to be more like faux leather. On the plus side it does have some kind of 'intelligent' shock absorbing molecules though, so if you're planning to drop your phone off a building then this is the case to get
I picked up a Sunglass Hut microfiber cloth pouch ($6.99). It prevents scratches and you can clean the phone when it's inside.

I just cut the corner of the sleeve so it doesn't hit the power button. It looks weird but it works just fine. that will hold me over until an otterbox comes out.

BUILT pouch
I bought a neoprene pouch from BUILT and it's way nicer than my N1 case. Plus the Nexus S sits deeper in the BUILT vs. the N1 case.
I know it says for iPhone but it fits perfectly for the Nexus S.
I also know it's a little pricey but the quality is there and I haven't been disappointed.
Their website is builtny dot com
There's a pouch for $1.99 including shipping on ebay
I'm not allowed to put links until I have 8 posts in. lol.
Do a search on ebay for 'nexus s pouch'. I ordered one and am still waiting for it. Probably won't get it for a couple of weeks since it's being shipped from HK.

This is my favorite by far. Works great with the Nexus S.

Hey all, just picked up one of these $4 neoprene cases from Ebay and figured I'd give my 2 cents for any others looking to grab one.
(edit: err, can't post links yet. but it is the one with the SAMSUNG logo on it, NOT the one with the android image.)
After using the Silicone Amzer case from Amazon for about two weeks, I begun to realize that I wasn't fully enjoying the aesthetics of the Nexus S. I found myself frequently taking it out of the silicone case just to see how shiny it looked all by itself
Received this neoprene pouch two days ago from Ebay (a HK dealer, it took about 10 days to arrive), and am much happier with it. Though I am not OCD about keeping a phone pristine, I am pretty careful with my devices. This pouch allows me to keep it protected when not in use (e.g. in my pocket, in my car, or on my desk), but still allows me to fully enjoy the unencumbered design of the phone.
Anyway, here are some photos. Feel free to ask any questions. For $4, this thing is perfect. Ideally, in the future when more cases come out, I'd like to grab something a little higher quality.
pm me the link I would like to but one. Thanks

Sweet. For future reference, searching "nexus s neoprene" on Ebay will get it to show.
I picked one up after everyone said it was the same as the N1 sleeve. For the price it is definitely a nice little case, but the quality is a drop from the N1 sleeve (not a huge deal, but not what I was expecting based on the comments in the other thread).

Hey,
I usually post in the Nexus S forum, where I review cases (done quite a few now) - I picked up a tab last week and was just wondering if anyone would be interested in me posting reviews here as well. I usually allow people to suggest cases as well!
Just seeing if enough people are interested since tab isn't that new.
Thanks!

Yes I am, because I'm looking for a new case for my Tab

I have this case except for one thing, mine has a flap to cover the front as well.

model number is different, mine in EF-C980NBECSTD, which, when I google it, gives back no results. ..... now it does! http://www.spotit.com.au/buy/80133_GALAXY_TAB___KEYBOARD_DOCK_EF_C980NBECSTD.aspx
mine is also made is korea, better than china, my opinion.
Yes, I've been on the look out for a case with a keyboard as well.
Could you review this one please?
Most of the customer reviews are giving it a one star which is very harsh I don't like the other similar one as much, it relies on a magnetic flap to prop it up. Doesn't look as good

I would love to see Speck make a Nexus 7 FitFolio Case so I have submitted a request to do so, if you like the idea please go vote for it as per there feedback email the more votes they get the more likely they will be to build the case.
Here is an example of there current FitFolio for Kindle Fire which I would like them to model the Nexus 7 after.
I'm looking forward to this too. Speck already confirmed via Twitter that they are making it!

Really this is what I got from there team when I emailed them last night:
"Thank you for contacting us. I took a look and there is no word on if we are making a case for the Google Nexus 7 at this time. You can submit your idea for a case for it to our design team! You can submit your idea to our Feedback page found on our homepage on the far left side of the screen. You can submit the idea for voting and the more votes it gets, the more likely our team will be to consider it. Please take a moment to do so!

Sorry that was not my intention
It looks quite difficult (read: impossible) to press the physical buttons on the kindle fire version, and with the nexus 7 having the buttons on an angle, it seems like it would be MORE impossible on a model fit for the N7. I do hope they do something about that before releasing one, but I agree that I would definitely hunt one down if they made one
Man, I would get it too. Too bad I ordered the TreeGloo case already . It's not coming til Early August. This Speck one if made, would come even later though..
I'd be all over that in red. I'm gonna have more backup cases than I know what to do with I think. Everytime I buy one something else comes out that I want. Fortunately neither I have bought have cost very much.
+1 on the Speck.
The Speck looks like JUST what im looking for. Hopefully they make it!
If only the cutouts for buttons on the KF case were the same i'd buy it...
I just spoke to 1 of their representatives via live chat and she said that they will be available in august. And to check the website later on.

I wonder if the magnet could be used as the closure rather than that strap thing since there is a magnet in the nexus. Then this would be the case i want.
Nice. Another good one other than Marware.
Definately the sort of thing im looking for too, did you ask for a slit at the back where the speaker is too?

I think they would have to include two different magnets for that since the screen sensor is right above the pogo pins and in order to keep it closed you would want another one on the far side of the tablet at the edge of the cover. It could be done but I doubt they will go that route.
Woot it looks like it worked I just saw this posted on there twitter feed
"Speck Products @speckproducts
@sbgmag We will be making a Folio style case for Nexus 7. Be on the lookout in a month or two!"
Hopefully this is a sign of more official accessories to come.

Ordered the scarlet one too. I'll post some pictures when it arrives. Including shipping to Germany it came 35,98 €. Compared to eg official Samsung covers it really isn't that expensive. The thing i wonder is, if we may see some more accesoires in the near future (dock perhaps)? Hopefully Google has something more to come...
It came to just over £30 in the UK. 3 - 5 Shipping days. Can't wait!
Guys any video for this official case?
Wat you guys recomment, should I order this or get the poetic slimline???
Price difference of 20 dollars !!

It doesn't cover the back of the device, or the corners. Much better 3rd party cases already available.
I can't believe I waited all this time for what is effectively a flap. It doesn't even fold into a stand!

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.
