This may already be known, and but I emailed Portenzo to ask about book cases for the N10. A CSR got back to me shortly and informed me that they were working with the device now and hoped to have a product ready soon.
Personally I'm very excited about this since I still love the Portenzo case on my N7.

My friend is getting the nexus 7 and he asked me what case he should get. I immediately told him to get a Portenzo case. They have great build quality and materials. I've actually been holding off getting a case for my N10 to see if and when Portenzo was releasing one. I'm stoked

I've got the Hardback for my N7 in black with red trim. It's a nice slim case thanks to the nifty mounting solution, doesn't add a lot of bulk. Does the job of protecting the screen when travelling, comes right out when not, and isn't unpleasant to use in the hands with the case on.
Quality wise, it's a whole lot better than that "vegan leather" or TPU crap you find on Ebay/Amazon for $10.
Not a big fan of the more expensive BookCase style units due to the extra bulk, but a co-worker has one for his iPad, with the Intellistand option, and it's a clever system.
Yeaaaah!
This case is exactly what I'm looking for.
Thanks for the heads up!

The burden of pics is not on me,not my topic..for him to make a new topic but make us do legwork to respond to his topic just doesn't seem to be the wisest thing IMO.you should always post as much info as possible to get reponses to your topic.especially a case thread!

The burden on YOU is to actually read and comprehend the original post. Then you would have immediately known there were no pictures at this time.
Me, I found the OP useful, learned something I didn't know, it had an impact on my near-term case buying decisions.

Personally I stopped following the multi-page case thread, it's just constant re-posting of Amazon links to the same 2 or 3 variations of cheap Chinese stinky fake leather cases they've been churning out for the last few years.

Theres always a wise guy in the bunch
No pics available, but yet some know it all posted a link to the pics???
If you could comprehend and READ,you would know that he mentioned another case as well. You only assumed I was asking for nexus 10 pics.my response is what assumptions get you.because then you would know the expected pic would be of the nexus 7 one,since common sense says he's interested in one for nexus 10 because of the one already out for the 7.
But if you don't have common sense,then I apologize for my reply.that wouldn't be fair

Ordered mine already.
Isn't that basically a super-classy version of the pouch that comes in the box?
Yeas, but it is 'supper-classy' .
Better quality leather, with no outside seam - so fits really well without extra bulk.
Tooo each there own, tho i wouldnt shell out any money for just a pouch like that, im happy with the one i got
nice but........
........a bit too expensive. ill be sticking to the stock case.........
thats nice and all but i think the stock case does a fine job at scratches
i bought a white hibrid case from ebay just to try it....and guess what...dude is really nice....and was only 4 pounds. screen protector+hibrid case=powerfull shield.i love it

Why waste money on a pouch case when the one that is supplied with the Leo is more than good enough?

Why do you need to decide for other people that the supplied case is "more than good enough"? Please let people judge for themself. If you don't see the point of something, please be quiet, no need to post your opinion in that case. Thx,bye.

I'm not deciding anything for anyone, if people wish to spend good money on another version of what they already own they're perfectly welcome. But this is a forum and posting opinion's is what they're about. I'm genuinely curious as to why someone would buy this.
I hope this helps but feel free to ask for an elaboration.

Do you really not understand the reason that people want a good quality leather pouch instead of a cheap looking fake leather pouche? I can't believe it! You have to be joking me!
Why do people buy any kind of luxury at all? Did you every think of that? Why do people buy a vase of 5000 euro when a vase of 2 euro functions the same: you can put flowers inside. Let me tell you something about life: People don't buy only for the reason that something is practical: people buy by emotion.

Bad example, I couldn't think of any reason to buy a vase full stop, never mind an expensive one.
As for the emotion side of things, I'm well aware of that. I can't see how that applies to a phone cover but each to their own.

The lesson for today : It applies on everything that people buy that has to do with luxury.
That's what I tried to explain and that is the reason that I took a extreme example of the €5.000 vase
But to be frank, emotion applies maybe even more then average when it comes to leather accessories. One of the biggest luxury icons at this moment is Louis Vuitton. They also produce leather accessories. Louis Vuitton made a revenue of almost €2.000.000.000 last year. I hope you get the point now.

My pda/pocket pc/smartphone has been my most used device and is one of few things I have always had on me for the past 8 years. Whatever device I have at the time holds a high value to me, so I have always spent the extra money for a nice leather case. It's kind of a fashion accessory along with protection for my most important device. I usually spend $50-$100 for a custom made Vaja, Noreve, or PielFrama case. It's the same as buying nice shoes or clothes... it's something that I wear, as it's usually attacked with a belt clip. Smartphones are the modern day pda and they hold a lot of value to people. People practically have their lives organized and stored on these devices. It's an accessory they always have on them, like shoes, clothes, jewelry, handbags, etc.
wow !!!, next you lot will be argueing over the price of leather handbags. as for the op's new case, too posh for me, i like the (free) cheap looking stock case.....
LV should produce nice pouches for our HD2s! lol
tbh, this Sena case really looks nice!
Hi All,
I recently purchased a Nexus 7 case that I was extremely un-impressed by. The seller completely lied about everything on the case, it was a totally different colour, layout etc (BASICALLY A DIFFERENT CASE THAN PURCHASED)
I have had a re-fund but its not about the money, I love my N7 and think it is a smart device, (looking wise) haha.
I was wondering if anyone can recommend me a case?
I want:
A nice looking case that doesn't ruin the N7.
It has to be comfortable to hold and not add to much bulk to the N7.
Obviously has to be protective, but has to feel nice.
Would like one with a Sleep/Wake function (Unless someone recommends a nice pouch rather than case, as I don't take it out much so a pouch could be sufficiant)
Finally, I would like if possible, it to be able to be used a stand.
IT DOES NOT HAVE TO COVER ALL OF THESE AREAS!
Thanks in advanced people !!
Do some work yourself, read the forum here and check out the reviews.

Thanks for the recommendation, and im also glad you know the meaning of "Recommend" as the above poster clearly doesnt have the knowledge base.
I may purchase one of those, they look sleek and professional in my eyes, does it feel like its protective?
Wow, I really !! REALLY !! Like that case !

There are better versions of that case for less money. That one has no magnetic closure, nothing to keep it shut when you want it shut.

I would but it's one of the most common case designs and not hard to find on Amazon or eBay, think how much more fulfilling it would be if you discovered it for yourself.

pretty cool. but the first picture is an ipad, the second is a n7.
Title pretty much says it all, I know our phones are pretty durable, but I am not going to try and scratch it up anytime soon, the only "tough/rugged" case I found so far in the US is the casemate one, any other suggestions folks? and yes I have poured over this whole area reading it over.
Thanks

I have taken a look through the 2nd one before, thanks, the first set looks too flimsy for my roughness, I guess I'm used to the oversized otterbox's etc
if you're used to very hard wearing cases then atm no.the case mate seems the only proven rugged case.
apparently otterbox are working on a case bit who knows when that might come out.

I got a case from a friend who can't help me find it because the store that sold them ran out of stock...
It's TLU, flexiable, it has cut outs for everything. It's also not slippery and has the word "Armor" on it's back...
Looks like maybe a Spigen case

Just my two cents but I would check the attitude when you post asking for help and someone takes their time to help you even if it's something you've thought of.
Maybe if you posted the name of the store you purchased these in it might give people something to go on. I'm sure you've asked at the store since they may remember the case and where they got it from.

It won't help because it's not a brand of some sort, the store is just a stand at the mall that sells cheap phone accessories.
If you want holes for the buttons, Cruzerlite cases have it.

I live in Karachi, Pakistan. Its almost impossible to find cases, protectors or other accessories for Nexus devices here. I found bunch of online stores selling the covers for 20x more price then international market. I gave up on that. I ordered 2 cases from ali express yesterday. They deliver round the globe and they got some pretty awesome cases and covers for nexus 5x!
