I would stay away from ROO cases. I had one for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 white and it left two marks on the back of it, where it seemed to have rubbed the finish off.

I like this guy. Deadmau5 pic and demanding genuine leather! I'm hoping for a case from these guys: http://www.vajacases.com/ - Got one for my PlayBook last year and it's awesome.
Shame they got shipped and delivered to the UK first yet there are very few accessories released here yet. Will be a while until we have a genuine leather case with the 'smart' magnetic bit.

that case has been on sale for years. it's so ugly. Giant leather bondage strap holding down your nexus 7? ugly.

I picked up a leather smart case similar to this one at Big Lots for $8.00. High quality material ! They have lots of 7" case options there for a budget price......scrarch resistant screen protectors , stylus pens , bluetooth speakers etc....
BigLots. com serach the left hand side by ELECTRONICS to see their tablet stuff.

I say patience is a virtue. We all know the tablet for what it is. You either like it or you don't. Most of us have already pre--ordered and are waiting for them to arrive right now.
As far as the caes go, I'd rather feel what they're like in my hand. Via pictures of cases online, 10 look great for ipad and other devices, however only 1-2 actually feel and function as nice as they seem to be described and pictured online.(not cheap feeling, or feeling like they'l literally fall apart, lacking features cleverly not pictured, etc.

For me none of the cover/cases on Amazon (I was at the local Best Buy to take a look at 7" stuff) are aesthetically pleasing. I ordered a "padded pouch" off Etsy.com and I'm gonna get a sturdy "case" when one becomes available.

My DIY in 2 minute tablet stand for the lazies

Hi guys,
I wanted to buy a tablet stand for a while, but they're either bad or way too expensive, which means that if I want crap, I better do it myself.
The UPS carton from the Nexus 7 was hanging out next to my desk for weeks so I decided to just take it, cut a piece, and make it look like a stand. I did it pretty randomly and it turns out not bad at all. This definitely solves my stand issue. I'll probably improve it a little more by adding some duct tape so it can last a bit more that 2 weeks.
This will literally take 2 minute of your time if you wanna give it a try. I love it so far.
Pictures: http://imgur.com/a/jr464

Not bad if you don't have spare DVD cases laying around (that stand is a little more stable and longer-lasting), but edit your pictures and downsize them, they're too big for the forum!
-Ara

Woops, replaced it by an imgur album, thanks

I made one from a dvd case. Thing works awesome. It holds my N7 while in a case too. I often use it at night to charge.
I used a spare Xbox 360 case so mine is neon green.

Cool...I saw that stand at Walgreens and thought it was pretty cool. But they want over $10 for it, and I've already got a $30 stand ( bought for my old ex-Prime ) and another simple silicone stand. But the one you have does tempt me every time I see it

What about this?
I got this for my nexus 7:

Gawd I never thought i'd be shilling for gamestop but for $5 you really can't go wrong.
Sorry for the (gnex) crappy pic but you get the idea, the slots that the tablet fit into are super soft rubber (coated) and it folds completely flat.

Just go around your house and look for an unused picture frame prop.

I just thought I'd share mine.
I still need to trim off the glue, cut off the excess cardboard and paint it.

That's a cool idea. I make one for my kids.

YES YES! In fact, it is the best and cheapest I'VE ever had. It feels really good and make your Nexus 10 very secured. + it has a mini strap so you can put it in your hands.

Yup! It feels really good. It looks like it's a real leather(maybe not but it feels like it).

I just got mine today. It feels very good. My only serious objection is that if I hold it vertically in one hand, using the elastic strap, the cover flops awkwardly, making it hard to hold. I haven't figured out what to do about that.... Change that: if I use the closing elastic to stabilize the cover, it feels fine.

I love my poetic case for my nexus 7, will try this one. Poetic is a great company, they sent me an upgrade after they realized a mistake in the 1st and 2nsd generation case.

I might get one of these for my nexus 7 and nexus 10, ordered one for my nexus 4 which is not here and neither is my nexus 4.

I just got mine as well. It fits beautifully and actually looks nice as well. They paid attention to details on this one. I'm so glad I can stop using my old transformer TF101 case now!

Well thanks for the info . but your video only shows the fact that the cover has magnets. Would have been nice to see how it folds up or maybe the other side of the case.
I ordered the bison case and I have yet to see it and it said that it shipped a week ago.
I might have to order this one.

Mine came yesterday. For the $5.00 w/ free shipping I paid, I can't complain too much (and its miles better than having no case at all). But its not quite what I wanted.
Its a bit too thick. Its noticeably thicker than the casecrown case I had for my last tablet (probably due to the pouches and that weird textured base thing in the narrow section of the cover flap (what the hell is that for?)
Also, while the upright stand position works well, the other stand position is a bit too low an angle for my taste, and its a bit awkward getting it in to that position and getting it to stay that way. I found that I can put a folded up playing card in it to get the angle where I want it, bit this just makes it even more awkward to set up.
What I really want is a case just like I had on my previous tablet (see attached image). Notice the middle stand position in the lower left corner of that pic. That's by far, the position I use the most. And getting it into that position is very quick and easy. Unfortunately, none of the "tri-fold" style cases seem to support that position any more. They're all missing the tab on the back that keeps the flap from sliding out of place.

I got this Poetic, I don't think its the same one, but I am VERY pleased with it, and it only cost $10, worth every penny. And if you have Amazon Prime it got here < 24 hours after I ordered it for only $4 extra shipping lol...The case is actually nicely made, the viewing angles that are available for this case are great (I study quite a bit and have used it for some long term viewing) I would recommend it.

I'm waiting for the Poetic Slimline one to come out. Basically is a feather style thin case with smart cover. I have one for my Nexus 7 and absolutely love it.

Just got my Slimbook in today. Seems pretty nice for the $4.95 that I spent on it. It can stand it up for watching videos on my desk and it has an auto wake/sleep feature. That is all I wanted + having the leather feel.

I went through the customer's review of the slimline version and I was quite suprise about the quality of the product.
Anyone can confirm or denied those review?

Most of the other cases are better thats just covers the screen and is more expensive but it would be nice if google could release a good hard case

They shipped these covers to some of the reviewers and they seem pretty nice!
If I remember right, they don't work very well as a stand

I ordered one. My current case is a little worn anyway, so I could use new one. I'll post my thoughts on it when it arrives.

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???

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.

At least we can get the Poetic case from Amazon for 5 bucks. It's not too shabby.

Lol. Yeah. I was kinda wanting to go with the Groovy (in blue).. like having the option to use it as a stand for video and reading on breaks. Guess I'll have to check out some of the Amazon ones. Only thing I noticed on most of those is they all seem to have that frame around the sides of the screen.. not sure if I'd like that. Does the auto sleep thing work ok with those? (I currently just have a sleeve I keep mine in that slides into a pocket in my shoulder bag, but I think a case/cover might be better.. less parts to have to deal with. Lol)

The cheap Poetic case can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-StrapBack-Protective-Function-Manufacturer/dp/B00AAKLDN8.
I hate cases that cover the bezel. This one fits the bill, has the magnetic on/off, and does well as a stand. (side rant: I never understood manufacturers who place the inside surface of a cover on a table when in stand mode. Great way to pick up all sorts of debris and possible scratches. This one doesn't do that, thankfully.)
I'm happy with it. Looks sleek when closed. One potential caveat : it will have that new car smell for a week or so. Didn't bother me, but may some. I would have been happy with this case for 4x the price.
By the way - While I highly recommend this for the HD+, I just as highly don't recommend it for the HD. Given the way the HD is made, it will have possible problems.

Ahh OK. Hadn't really noticed that one for some reason. I had been looking at these: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimline-Portfolio-Manufacturer-Warranty/dp/B00B20N9XW Which, as you you mentioned have you putting at least part of the inside cover against the table. While the only time I'll probably be using the stand feature is at work.. those break room tables can definitely be nasty at times.
Actually now that I look at it, I remember why I'd skipped over this one, there seemed to be several complaints on Amazon of this cover damaging people's Nooks??

The Nook HD version can damage your device. The HD+ one is fine.

Really disappointed in the Lautner case. Adds a lot of bulk and not anywhere near as light as I expected. Luckily it was only £5,the original £35 is daylight robbery.

Thanks for the heads up, picked up two USB cables and chargers for less than the price of one (planned to get one anyway and handy having a spare).

they don't ship oversea (from B&N-UK-website to France/Belgium/Netherlands...)
They do from B&N-US-website, but the prices are higher and the shipment cost also (which is logical: US -> EU)
I've just ordered a Nook HD+, to start reading/try annotating texts on a tablet, thanks to their current low prices (I had to look for a place shipping overseas). It's a pitty I can't do the same with the accessories. Well, I'll have to look further for those. Or maybe see if no one I know is going to the UK anytime soon

I'd been watching eBay and Amazon hoping for just such a find but since eBay's search ignores the "+" I found myself using 9 in the search terms to narrow it down.. this one flew right under the radar. Had $18 in my PayPal account from Ebates so this one will be free!

I'm liking it a lot actually. Works good, not a ton of options for angles, but you only really need two anyway, ya know? I love the auto sleep/wake feature too.. the cover keeps it from coming on in my backback and draining the battery down. And it looks very nice, not cheap and plasticy.
eBay is definitely my first stop, then Amazon, then from there I go poking around the different sites .. but I'd say 99% of my online purchases are either from eBay or Amazon.

Why UK only?
Can someone buy me some things and ship them to Germany?
