My favorite cases

I have a Google official case that's coming in soon, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to use that as my default case. It's pretty disappointing that there's no stand.
I've been driving myself crazy researching cases for the N7 and have narrowed my options down to four. One of my rules with purchasing cases/folios are that they CAN'T cover the bezel.
Here's what I'm looking at:
Poetic Hardbook- $9.95
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008IEGS9W/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1342599330&sr=8-1
Poetic Tribook- $7.95
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-TriBook-Automatically-Manufacturer-Warranty/dp/B008IEGSWO/ref=pd_ybh_12
CaseCrown Ace Flip Case- $20.21
http://www.amazon.com/CaseCrown-Google-Built-magnet-feature/dp/B008K9TRM0/ref=pd_ybh_8
iBlason Slim Folio- $16.95
http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Sleep-Google-Tablet-Orange/dp/B008H3PAP2
Belkin Bi- Fold Case- $37.55 ( Apparently this works really well w/ N7 )
http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Bi-Fold-Stand-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B007XDFO7Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1342647766&sr=1-1&keywords=belkin+bifold+folio
Google Nexus 7 Dock- $32.98
http://www.gadgets4geeks.com.au/product/google_nexus_7_dock
Unfortunately these aren't available right now, but they all look like REALLY good cases. I haven't ordered any of these yet, but I would like to have all of them ( that's not an option ) .
If any of you are going to order one of these, please post below because I'd like some input. Or if you find other cases/ folios that are worthy of a purchase, let me know and I'll update this post.

For all the pictures we'll be taking with the rearview camera, right?

i'm guessing that's a stock photo, because they are being manufactured right now and they just used it to show you an idea of how it will look....but that's just my guess....

I read the fire version of the casecrown ace flip is exactly the same, other than not being smart. I have one coming tomorrow, cost me $8.00. If it's good i might get the smart version, or i'll just put a magnet on it.

Updated with a sweet dock

If Marware makes a similar case for the Nexus 7, I'm all in!!!

Kobo cover works

Picked this up today at my local Chapters store for $20. I just needed something for when travelling and don't have time to wait for an eBay or Amazon order to cross the border before my next trip.
It's not bad, fits in easily enough (thanks HUGE N7 bezel, you actually came in handy!). It also has a nice feel (different than most PU), and all the ports/buttons are usable while in the cover (though watch the top right strap, it can hit the power button).
Flap folds flat on the back if you want to use it in the case, and the N7 goes in and out of it quickly which is cool with me as this is just to protect it while in a bag, when actually using the N7 it'll come out of the case.
This is the NY Times model that comes in several different styles (I picked the most bland), and there are even nicer ones available if you want to drop more coin but at that point you're better off getting something actually made for the N7.

Nice pick up!
I saw something similar on Amazon from Marware for the Kindle. Also priced at $20.

See this case would be perfect for my wife if they didn't use elastic bands to hold it in, why is it so hard to find something like this that is just a little more industrial (has clips rather than bands)....ugh, the search continues, however this is pretty cheap and my wife might be willing to go with it, would be nice if it was a little smaller to fit the n7, just that much better, but beggars can't be choosers right?

Nexus 7 Custom Car Holder

Hi guys, lately I have been thinking about making a holder for my Nexus to go in my car, so finally took the steps, a few weeks ago to make one, the first one was too heavy and just not right, so I decided to start making another.
It had to be light and easy to use.
The Nexus dock, has OTG, Charge and Audio. I can honestly say that it is starting to look the part and works flawlessly.
Here are some pictures of the first attempt,
http://fixer14.com/me/me/Projects/Nexus7/Nexus_First_%20Prototype/
Here is the progress on the second Build, wjhich is the one I am going to go with, It is not finished yet, but you will get the general Idea, soo far.
http://fixer14.com/me/me/Projects/Nexus7/Nexus_Second_Prototype/
I have also just within the last half hour finished cutting out what will be the front facia for the Holder.

Hi there, quick update on things, have managed to get the wooden front fascia fixed to molding, and have started to reshape it. Really nice fit and I deliberately made the holder to be 1/2 size of the nexus as it did not need to be full size and also adds a bit of quirkiness to it.
I have tried to incorporate a slight angle to the way the nexus will finally sit, when mounted, I do hope this is pleasing to those that visit and have a look.
More to come and will post when ready.

Here is an update, all sanded and filled ready for spraying now.

Something is wrong with your first pictures and the links. They are not showing up. I would like to see those pictures because I will also soon be installing the nexus 7 on my car.
Thanks!

Picture Links now fixed.

Very nice! Thanks for the pictures!

Looks pretty sweet man

Cool! I need to get access to a 3D printer.

Wsken Mini2 Magnetic LED USB Sync and Fast Charger Cable.

Just recived the little gem in the mail yesterday took about a week for shipping from China to arrive. And so far I'm using with my otterbox symmetry case and it doesn't protrude the case and no more fumbling to get the charger in correctly. And it works great with fast charging and File transferring from pc
Will post more pictures later if anyone want to see any.

I'll order a few just for the heck of it and pass them out to some friends. I'll let you know of their feedback.
Thanks.

I bought something similar from Wish.com a year ago, it worked great but it eventually killed the charging circuit on my Galaxy Tab 3. I'm a little nervous about using electronics from discount websites from China.

I ordered mine from Amazon.
They might be originating in China though... but these days a lot of things are unfortunately.

I used one for a short time, didn't last long. The magnetic part didn't hold the best, although it held better than I thought it would to be honest but it still wasn't enough. The LED on it was extremely bright and bothered me at night. Also they're a pain to remove if you go to plug into a computer with a different cable or want to use the Gear VR.
In my opinion I'd be more interested in a case that converted our connectors to USB-C so you still get the ability to reverse the connections while at the same time is a good hold if it's slightly tugged.

Skinomi Tech Skin on the way.

I just ordered a carbon fiber Skinomi Tech Skin and got 25% off using a coupon. I've never used a skin before but I got used to the darker color of the At&t model I was using and I hate using a case. Between this and the iqshield I have installed I think I'm set.

I got and installed the tech skin. Overall I'm pleased with how it turned out. It looks good (if you like carbon fiber) and adds a fair amount of grip. Funny thing is, I used to hate carbon fiber. Now covers the three things that are always on me.

Looks so much better!

I'd have to agree. It came with pieces to cover the camera glass and sides but I think that would be a little overkill. More than anything I appreciate the added grip.
And for anyone who is wondering, Moto mods work just fine with this installed. I've tested the JBL and power pack. The skin is actually thinner than the iqsheild I have on the screen.
If you hate cases and want to keep your phone from getting scratched up I can confidently recommend this, especially for 12 bucks.

Just ordered the dark red wood skin from skinomi, will post pics once it arrives. Was shipping relatively quick?

I would say reasonable. I ordered the 3rd and got it the 9th. I guess I've just been spoiled by Amazon prime.

That sad moment when you get a tracking number, and now you gotta wait, and stalk the delivery update page . Lol

So I'm really fighting the urge to take off the skin. There's nothing wrong with it. It improves the grip, and I did a pretty perfect install, buuuut... I just really like my phone naked.
