Thinking of odering this.. it doesnt seem to expensive.. i would much prefer a case like the incipio feather with a smart cover ala ipad but for the moment at least this would keep it safe and protect it.. till others start making snazzier cases..
just ordered it.. hopefully have it tomorrow/monday.... hoping to also be able to pick up my nexus 7 monday!

I received this case yesterday. I like the size and feel. It fits the N7 very well. It ships from Hong Kong so it took about a week to get to me in Texas. The construction quality looks good so far. Time will tell on durability. Very Flexible and has a magnetic closure.
Is it real leather though?
I have it doesn't fit the nexus 7 well it moves around when its inside the little overlaps and sometimes the front camera is covered by the "leather" so you have to push the nexus 7 up from the bottom corner

I was holding back buying the Asus travel cover as months ago there were leaks showing a premium cover from Asus. But after that there wasn't any mention of that cover anymore...will we ever see that emerge or is it dead?
The funny thing is that there are already Chinese copies to be found on eBay which have exactly the same design, but I'm not going to buy a cheap case anymore, after I bought the smart case ultra slim cover which just started to fall apart today. Literally. And it never fell on the ground.
All other leather cases are too fat, and ugly. So does anybody know if the premium cover will be released soon? Otherwise I'm going to get an Asus travel cover.
BTW: what is the slimmest available nexus cover? Besides the smart cover that is. I'm not going to buy that again.
I would look into the Speck FitFolio case. I have always been impressed with Specks quality and the customer service.
Personal experience with the FitFolio: great fit with all the features you would want and none of the bulk.

Thanks for the link, the case really looks pretty nice. But as I want minimal weight I went for the Asus travel case. I want the slimmest design and it doesn't have to provide the biggest safety as I won't be taking it much outside anyway. I only want it to keep it safe from scratches.
But is really a shame that the premium cover never happened.
I also really wonder why no third party just took the travel case concept and put a magnet in. This would be the perfect case for me. Slimmest fit and magnet, but no additional bulk at all.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but would you link to one of these Chinese knock off cases as it seems the official thing will never arrive. All I can find is news over the product not any where to buy it

Like this? - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Purple-Ul..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item4d08a7e3fe
That's the 'Ebay case' with a magnet that everyone on here raves about, it only lasted me a few months before the plastic started to crack, I wouldn't suggest getting the above unless you fancy getting 3-4 and swapping them when they break

I see, I have one similar to that already, when someone said about copying the design and it being Chinese I figured it would have the nexus logo on the back. I love the functionality of my case which stands in landscape mode up right or flat I was just hoping for some thing that fits more snug around the edges with the nexus in side it, there's a few mm spare room.

I think an excellent option is this combo:
Genuine leather case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008A1XN28/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
With a TPU case stuck inside instead of sticking the Nexus directly to the case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008LJKPHK/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i01
Any TPU case will do I just put that link in to have both items links to products at Amazon.

Not sure if this is correct as GameStop.com is listing the premium covers on their site for release on the 3rd September. Quite a while away. I'll just be getting a cheap case in the meantime.
I don't want a case that covers the bezel or the back, just something to protect my n10 when it is slung in my backpack or messenger bag.
Does anyone know if these will fit the n10?
Samsung Textile Pouch
Kensington Soft Carrying Case
Proporta Perfora which is listed as a Nexus 10 case but seems to be a netbook case so will likely be too thick.
I am thinking about a sleeve myself.
To protect the nexus 10 while not in use or carrying it, but not to add bulk to the tablet while in use.
I am thinking about picking up a case logic sleeve.

I'd like to know too. You can get it through Amazon cheaper http://www.amazon.com/Case-Logic-LA...id=1353866151&sr=1-1&keywords=LAPST-110-BLACK and their return procedure is pretty painless.
I'd try it myself but my N10 hasn't arrived yet and I want to try the Galaxy Tab 10.1 accessories I already have before buying more "stuff".
Let us know.
I picked up this HP case (based on a recommendation in another thread):
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Mini+Laptop+Sleeve/9926416.p?id=1218196187925&skuId=9926416
I picked it up off of Amazon for $10, but the picture over on Amazon is not correct (this picture on BestBuy is correct). It has padding on both sides of the device in the main pocket plus a second zippered pocket for cable, headphones, charger etc. It is the right size and the N10 fits in the case right; but, I am sure there are smaller cases if you don't need the large second pocket across the whole case. I picked this case up to have it available now as I am watching other cases being released. I also have three more different cases on order for different situations. My favorite so far is the Poetic Slimline case, but it is not available until the end of December. Good luck.
This Samsung-made pouch fits damn-near perfect:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055193HU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
It fits pretty tight at first, but loosens up over about 10 insertions and removals. It doesn't cover 100% of the tablet though, there's still about ~3mm of the tablet exposed at the open end. To me it's negligible, since it's used to place the tablet into my backpack.
And it's less than 11 bucks.
I didn't want some big hard cover, just a sleeve, but also didn't want to spend any money on it so just made my own last night using half of a full-desk neoprene gaming mousemat and a needle exactly what i was after for simply carrying it around and such. It's not perfect but it was free and does it's job ut great

I love these kind of comments
FYI, I bought this one
http://www.amazon.co.uk/V7-Protective-Sleeve-iPads-Tablets/dp/B0085JT0BS/
Its quite thick (~30mm) with the Nexus 10 inside, but I felt the bubbles inside should really help protect the screen when its in my laptop bag.
The zip closes no problem, but it wouldn't take a tablet even a few mm taller(in portrait), width-wise(also in portrait) there is a good 20mm space. The padding is quite thin on the zip and edges, protected, but not as well as the main faces. I feel it is a good buy.

I picked up the Hp as well for $20 at Bestbuy works well and will get the job done until new cases are released
I like the looks of this one, because while I think I'll be using the thing naked most of the time, I know I need a sleeve, plus this one can prop the unit up if I want to watch a movie on an airplane or something.

ASUS Versasleeve
Using an ASUS Versasleeve (sold TF700) and it works great. Fit is perfect and case doubles as a stand with two positions (typing and viewing). I prefer using my tablets naked and have been through 5+ cases before deciding on the Versasleeve.
http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VersaSle...d=1354034427&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+versasleeve
I tried this case from LLC but the N10 was too wide to fit in. I'm hoping for something like this to come out for the N10. The magnetic top closes it nicely and keeps it folded when you use it as a folio style stand. It's also paper thin. If anyone has a line on something like this for the N10 please post:

If anyone lives in the UK, I just bought a laptop neoprene case from pound land for £1 while I wait for my Poetic Slimline case to arrive from amazon. It may not be a perfect fit, but it definitely gets the job done.

Can't go too wrong for $10.62 delivered. Goo designs a beautiful product and then tells the user to either risk carrying it around naked or put it into a case that will defeat their design efforts? I believe the cover they promoted, if it had been available, would have have helped them to sell more tablets.

Thanks for the tip. I've tried it with mine and I almost didn't get it out and then sold it with my Galaxy Tab 10.1. I loved the pouch because it was very slim, minimalistic and the tablet was slightly protected when it was just laying around on the couch or when I put it in my laptop bag.
Unfortunately it's 22€ on Amazon.de (around $25) but I think it's still worth it since I hate it when a case is completely attached to the tablet.

That is a really nice looking sleeve. Quite pricey but could be tempted to pick one up when my nexus 10 arrives
Ordered this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/170933946177?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
+ pre-ordered the Slimline on Amazon.
Will post review when I get it
P.S. UPS shows tracking that my Nexus 10 will be here today...Woohoo
Got a few pictures of the Galaxy Tab Case and the Asus Versasleeve.
The galaxy case is housing the N10 pretty well at this point, with almost 0 protrusion of the tablet.
Overall, I think I will be using the Versasleeve. I remember people complaining about the plastic smell on the Nexus 7 poetic cases, but holy hell this Asus case is much worse in the magnitude of smell.
Other than the ugly brown, I think it'll work well.

Does anyone have any impressions of this case, or other cases by this company? Build quality? Thinness?
I am quite happy with this case. Don't get me wrong, it is the same case, sold by various companies from the same Chinese manufacturer, but it is very light, thin, and looks quite good. Can't be beat for the money. I liked so much, that I ordered the same basic case for both my Nexus 7 and my Galaxy Note 10.1
It adds very little heft to the tablet, and holds the tablet very securely

It's a simple case, doesn't obstruct anything. It has 2 levels of stand and I would recommend it if you think you are going to drop and scratch your brand new N10 like I did...
Awesome. I ordered one yesterday with one day shipping. Need it for travelling this Christmas.
Mine doesn't seem to grip the tablet on the two bottom holders.
Anyone else ? A little hard to get on too.
Anyone able to post a video review? Please and thanks!

This looks just like the Poetic case that I got.
If my case didn't actually have "Poetic" branded into the case, I'd think it was all the same company with 1 item under different names.
I have it. Its perfect.. None of the ports (including pogo) are blocked. Does not add any bulk. Has a convenient strap into which you can slide your palm when case is open, allowing single handed operation. Wake/sleep works as advertised. Very easy to convert into stand

Thanks for the feedback on this. Ordered one today.

I bought itand it makes the tablet that much better, the tablet does slip out if the grooves a little but it hasnt bothered me at all. I just put it back in without even thinking about it. the material feels good in my hands too. Does a great job protecting the tab.
Owned this case for my OG Transformer, got it again for my Transformer Pad, and am buying it again for my new Nexus 10. Love this case.
I've been looking, but I can not find one like this on Amazon, eBay, or in the forums to save my life, but I have seen people using it, and the few I was able to ask all said it was a gift and they don't know where it came from.
Its a case, with a hard plastic case, that snaps on, AND has the leather foam screen flap that allows you to stand the tablet up however way you want. It also has the smart feature, and allows the buttons to be pressed without praying for finger nails. The few I can find are for the ipad or ipad mini, but I shall not mention such filth again!. I use my tablet with my PS3 Controller a lot now and want a good case that I can access the buttons easily on. (Plus any good games that work with the six axis would be a plus, just play a lot of Shadowgun for now lol)
I like this one, but the flap is so weak and flimsy, thin. http://www.nillkin.com/upload/editorfiles/2012.9.13_10.32.23_7945.jpg
Any help is highly appreciated!!!
That's actually one of the nicer ones of that made in China style. Someone here did a review of the same general style in real leather. Not sure of the cost but perhaps the cover would be more sturdy on that case. I know I tossed up a link to a pairing that I like. Its a cheap real leather wrap around case which has the drawback of no protection to the sides of the Nexus combined with being held onto the tablet with a sickly pad. But combine that with a cheap TPU case and for 12 or 13 bucks total for both you have a nice case. You just stick the TPU case to the leather cover instead of the Nexus and you're golden. If you don't know how to search a user's posts just click my name in this post and it'll send you to my page then you click on view user's posts.
