Nexus 7 Case v. 3 Year Old - Nexus 7 Accessories

Looking for a case for my wife's Nexus 7. She has an SGP screen protector installed. The goal is to make sure our 3 year old can't get her hands on it and smash it to pieces . I'm looking at the Poetic Revolution and while it looks sweet it already has a built in screen protector, but I guess I could peel/cut it out. Thoughts? Thanks!

Actually looks pretty sweet. I'd get that for myself. Not sure if the wife would care for it though. Still awesome though.

I agree, either gumdrop or Seidio with cover. Seidio would be more attractive to a girly in my opinion (I'm a girl).

Okay

I have the pinkish color bobjgear case.. I think it looks much nicer then the gum drop . but still have good protection.. NO Built in screen protector....
I really like the protection from this case..

The official case is awful. Huge, bulky, and the cover is just a big floppy piece of rubber.

They're not huge and bulky, your misinformed, it's actually really form fitting. Cheap yes, worth 20$ absolutely not, but bulky it is not.

I actually like it too, I don't have it but I know what its like and that's what I want. Now when something comes out like a bad ass cover like an iPad smart cover I'll be on that, but for now this is what I'm looking for.

Seidio case info

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.

Agreed, kind of the case i am looking for, for the nexus 7.

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.

Anyone else is welcome to do the same if they get it before me.

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.

Thanks for that, I found your photos and the one of the phone on the case next to the box looks really nice. I thought the white one would provide a nice contrast but really not sure now.
What's grip like on the back?

It is slippery but this is a great case. For my taste it is thin enough amd really sturdy. Highly recommended.
I've currently got the Samsung hard cover and I like it other than the glossy back panel, I had the glacier commuter on my white s3 and I really liked it.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
same with me as well. I have the samsung cover and kind of want the commuter but I am worry about the thickness and bulkines it adds to the note.
I have a Speck , Samsung protective cover and the Otterbox commuter. I prefer the Commuter overall. I have the White N2 with black Commuter and like the look. Btw I had a Defender and hated it. Way too much bulk for me.

I used to use the original Samsung protective cover, but a month ago I dropped my phone in the bathroom and cracked my screen. have to replace them for 120$. now I'm using Otterbox defender and it protects my phone from a few big drops, but the included screen protector is really bad. anyway if I have to purchase a case again, an Otterbox commuter would be really good in protecting your precious phone. it adds some bulk, but it feels really comfortable in the hand, and you don't have to feel worried about your phone anymore.
I have this case but I don't like the color that much

I have the Commuter, the grip is very slippery so I just use the Aegis instead
Ibwould love to have the light gray rubber part with the black back. Think yhat woukd look great on thr titanium note 2
Would ypu be willing to trade rubber covers then? I also would like to have the black with white hard cover

I recommend this case great and adds no bulk to note 2 i give it a 10 out of 10

I purchased this case on ebay great price free shipping phone looks good protects note 2 just fine it doesnt make bulky heres link to purchase and pics http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=281028003729

This case is only good for protection from scratches. While using this case I dropped my Note 2 from 2 feet onto pavement and the screen cracked. The case is great if you want something very slim but I wouldn't trust it for drop protection. The casemate tough case is also very slim but provides 10 times more protection.

I only use this case for after work during work i use a otterbox commuter
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Yep, read another post with someone dropping their phone using this case and it shattered the screen. It's slim and protects from scratches, but next to nothing drop protection.
+1 for Case-Mate Tough as one of the slimmest cases with a drop protection on par with other cases twice of it's thickness.
awesome!
I just like this case cause phone still looks sexy with it and im pretty carefull with my phones but i do construction work so otterbox comnuter goes on at work

I have the aluminum button from spigen over the home button for that very reason.
Back to this case to be honest I didn't even think it looked all that great. The back is an absolute grease and finger print magnet.
After getting my phone replaced I tried out the seidio surface case (which I liked, good kickstand) before finally settling on the casemate tough case. It seems to be the perfect marriage of slimness and protection. Although I'm probably going to order the seidio convert case add on for the surface case I already own for those trips where I might want additional protection.

It comes in 3 colors for 10 bucks. Actually the black and silver look very nice, much better than stock and I actually prefer the tactile feel. It has a very nice metallic spiral design. I was concerned about the button moving around but after 3 weeks so far the adhesive is very good. I'd recommend it especially if you have a Verizon note 2.

I had a slim case on my N2 once, a Nilkin one but pretty much the same design as this one.
Then I dropped my phone whilst getting out the car, and now I have a dirty great big crack across the bottom of my screen. No insurance...
Now I have my phone in an Otterbox, with a film screen protector to hopefully stop the crack getting worse. I has a very big sad.
Do yourself a favour, avoid slim cases as they're worse than useless. They give a false sense of security that WILL be shattered, along with your screen, when you drop it. If you're going for a case, get something that PROTECTS!
That's exactly what I just wrote in another thread for Case-Mate Tough. If you want a super slim case, great grip, and durable corner protection to give you a piece of mind - there is no better choice but Tough case.

Thanks for the picture bigox, it looks good.
Corcor, do you have a screen protector on yours? I got the obliq and it actually fits perfect, I was concerned that some cases may peel the protector off on edges.
I was worried about the orange showing but I saw one in store it is not that bad actually. The case feels soft but I believe it still provides protection.
Did you ever drop your phone with this case on? I am planning to return Diztronic case and get this instead (yeah, 4 times the cost, but it seems like a good one, although I cannot find a single review of anyone owning this for G2)

Pretty sure this case will win in a drop test but I still think the Slim Armor looks better.

No microphone hole for AT&T version. That's why I passed on Slim Armor, yes it looks great, probably looks the best among all bulky cases. One reviewer got a response from Spigen saying they will update it, I wonder if they updated it...
