I have a Poetic Hardback Case from amazon
It's nice for the price, but the hard plastic feels real cheap. I was googling cases and found this one.
PDair Nexus 10 case
One of the nicest cases I've ever seen, but there is no way im paying $112 for it lol. So does anyone know any good looking real leather cases like the one I posted above?
I can't post links, sorry.

You should glance at noreve.com.
I can't post links yet, but search Amazon for Bear Motion genuine cowhide cases. I've never used one, but the description says it's real leather. Only $18.99.

I have this case on my Nexus 10 right now. It's not bad. All the ports and buttons are easy to access, and the speakers don't sound muffled. Overall pretty good.

There are two different versions of the case, and on expan they only have one picture of it.
Version 1 is like an iPad smart cover where it folds up in the back for it to stand up. Version 2 is like my poetic hardback case where you put the tablet into the "indents." I hate covers where you have to fold it up in the back to stand it up, so I'm going to email expansys and ask which one it is. It seems like it's version 1, the fold up one.

Any chance you have any pictures of the case? I just ordered one of these. If it's as good as advertised, I think it'll get the job done.
I second the Noreve suggestion. I have one for my N7 and I love it. Here's their case for the N10 : http://www.noreve.com/langue/en/product/Samsung_Google_Nexus_10_Tradition_leather_case.html
Free shipping anywhere in the world, too.

My wife got me this one for xmas http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Goog...d=1357244965&sr=1-2&keywords=iblason+nexus+10 I like it.
It looks like exactly what you are looking for, costs $18.00 and smells like leather to me. The only fault I can find is that there is no opening on the bottom for the POGO charger, whenever that is available, so you have to open the case to be able to use it. But for $18.00 and Amazon (who are excellent on returns if you don't like it) it's hard to go wrong.
I picked up one from Bear Motion on Amazon. It's much nicer than you'd think considering the price. They make a brown one too. Magnetic seal and auto-sleep/wake. After using it a few days, it has softened up a bit and feels even nicer.
Search 'Bear Motion Genuine Cowhide nexus 10' on Amazon. I don't have enough posts to put any links in yet.
Additionally, I bought a clear screen protector and carbon fiber 'style' protector for the sides and back from Skinomi. (Their website is cheaper than Amazon and used a promo code 'skinomi25' for 25% off.) I am not usually good at installing such things but it turned out pretty well.

I was looking at the bear case..are the top parts of the speakers covered by that case? I currently have the poetic dura case and sadly the only part of the speaker that is covered is the part where the speaker actually is :-/.

I ordered a Bear Motion from Amazon. It arrived today but was a mistake. The one I received was clearly for another, smaller tablet. Anyway if the one for the Nexus 10 is the same material I wouldn't like it. If it is real leather it fooled me. It is very pleather-like. I now have my eye on much more expensive leather cases like the ones that people are selling on Etsy or Nor eve.

Can not post a link yet, will try later.
I would say the top of the speaker is covered about .5” or less. I haven't noticed any issues with sound. It is actually leather, though it's really stiff at first. The inside has some sort of soft/fuzzy cloth lining. I'm pretty happy with mine so far. I used a skinomi wrap/screen cover too for extra peace of mind.

I ordered one a few days ago. When it gets here I will let you know, but black is the only color they keep in stock. Everything else is made-to-order. I got a brown one, so it might be a few weeks.
One think to keep in mind is the Noreve site includes VAT in the prices. If you create an account, it will update the price to exclude VAT (as long as you live somewhere that doest do VAT). They also ship free. Still pretty expensive though. It was around $92 for mine.
One thing that is pretty cool is they link to third party reviews of their product and they are organized by device, case color, and language. At least one of them is a video review of a case for the Nexus 7. I didn't see any reviews for a Nexus 10 case, but the other reviews give you a pretty good idea of the quality.

Update on the Bear Motion case, still a great case overall especially for what I paid, but I have noticed a flaw. The cutout for the POGO port has no stitching between the leather outer material and the interior lining. The adhesive has broken down a little and the lining is just a tiny bit loose around the opening. I intend to fix this myself with a needle, some black thread and about 5 minutes. This does have the potential to happen on the edges of the leather areas that do not have stitching though.
It should be noted the area with this issue flexes A LOT though. I'll post a picture later. It is very minor and I'd still buy this case again, but the manufacturer could easily prevent this with an extra couple inches of stitching.

I received my Noreve case yesterday, so it took a little over three weeks to get to me (it is faster if you pick a black color). It is clearly much higher quality than the Bear Motion case I tried previously and better anything else I have seen on Amazon.
That does not mean I don't have any complaints. Mind you, these are pretty minor but they are complaints nonetheless.
Firstly, they have some sort of thin layer of open cell foam under the front cover. Yesterday when you pressed a bit on the front cover, you could feel and hear the foam compressing. Today, after having it in my messenger bag, that sounds seems to have worked itself out. I much prefer the feel of the back, which seems to be leather right on top of plastic. The inside front cover has some sort of rubber or gel padding and I like that too, but I am not sure the inside front cover is leather. I don't think it is. I guess they are going for a soft, cushy feel on the front.
Secondly, the clasp is slightly annoying. Someone asked how firm it was and I will say it is pretty firm. It definitely stays closed and I have no complaints about how well it functions, but the problem is the clasp on the front cover prevents the device from laying flat when the cover is folded back because the clasp points down.
The last complaint I have is the process of converting it to stand mode. You have to pop the tablet out of the bottom of the case to stand it up. This isn't an easy or quick task because the case grips the tablet pretty tight.
Despite my complaining you just read, I actually really do like the case. It is definitely quality made with quality materials.

Here's a quick & dirty pics review for the Mercury brand TPU case.
I bought this TPU case from eBay at a whopping $7.77 US total once shipped. Definitely not a bank breaker.
I have bought it from supermom28. You can get one here. I ordered it on January 4th and received on January 16th, the seller even included a cheap plastic screen cover. Sadly it seems the white color is currently out of stock, so if you are looking for one you might want to look elsewhere!
Plastic quality is very good. The first thing I noticed when unpacking it was how rigid the TPU felt. My other TPU case feels much more rubbery than this one, albeit not as much as a silicone case. This can be a pro or a con, depending on your preference.
One con I can see is that since it's less rubbery, it's also less grippy. The Nexus S in my opinion is plagued by the fact it's a slippery phone, so you have to make sure you have a strong grip when taking it out of a pocket or your purse, if you're a lady. This case does not solve this problem.
Two pros I can see however is that it will not attract dust and particles as much as more rubbery cases and it is much shinier. The case is very light reflective, definitely looks good.
The cutouts are good. They're not absolutely perfect in their location, but they're not atrocious either. One example would be the headphones jack. The edges are smooth and well finished.
It fits snugly on a i9020a model. Snugly might not even be the right word, it can even be quoted as being nearly too tight. Fitting it on the phone can be a bit difficult, mostly due to the material rigidity so it's important to fit certain edges first or your might end up with slightly misaligned power and volume buttons.
The color is vibrant. Although in the pictures it seems the white is cream, this is due to the low quality point and shoot camera I'm using with little to no possible adjustment to white balance. It is definitely white and I imagine the other colors would be as vibrant. One very nice touch is the inclusion of what resembles automotive paint flakes in the plastic, giving nice looking silvery reflective shards.
Some users have noted the obvious engrish on the case logo. If you dislike it, it can easily be "sanded" off using a cube of sugar and a bit of rubbing. Another curious inclusion however is the engrish inside the case. Just look for yourself...
Thanks for the warning Mercury, I'm sure removing this sticker could yield lethal results.
All in all, I could say I'm pretty satisfied with this TPU case. It's cheap and looks good. My only gripe would be the slippery feeling of this case. My other TPU case added grip to the phone, this one does not. Otherwise, a very solid buy.
Thanks for the review - I was having trouble deciding on which colour case to get for my new Nexus S but think I'm definitely going to go for the white one now - it looks great!
I contacted the eBay seller 'supermom28' a couple of days ago and they did reply saying they will be getting the white case back in stock, but no ETA on that so I may have to look elsewhere.
The only thing I'm not digging is the openings for the buttons, but other than that, it looks like a nice case.

This is something I'm not too sure about. On my other TPU case the buttons are covered. I like the unified look it gives. However, I kinda enjoy the feeling of pressing directly on the buttons rather than squishy rubbery plastic. They're obviously a bit recessed too so that's something else to consider.
I have two of these and I love them. Too bad the white one went up in price so high.

I just got mine in the mail yesterday. I forgot to specify the color in the paypal notes and ended up getting a white one. I am not the best at putting on screen protectors so i didn't do a great job with that. But funny enough, I dropped my phone for the first time on the way to work to pick up the case. It made me realize that I really want one. Luckily, the back cover just ended up with a scratch. My phone is defiantly protected, a bit weightier, a bit thicker, but still fits in my pocket.
I've got a read one and my wife thinks it looks like a ladies phone case. I may end up getting another color

Agreed. Looks like something for an old Nokia.
Sorry guys, but is it just me or does everyone in this forum have horrible taste? Every case I see is uglier than the next. This is no exception. Why would you want to add so much bulk? The leather and details look cheap.

I would prefer one like the ipad covers. A simple, classy flap across the screen to protect it from the contents of my backpack, briefcase, laptop bag, or pocket. The brushed aluminum sides and plastic-rubber back don't need anything and look premium on their own. Bonus points if it can be rolled up into a stand like the ipad covers.
I'd prefer a good quality plastic case over the PU 'leather' ones. Though there's a thin amount of split hide sandwiched in there somewhere, the textured polyurethane outer coating doesn't look or feel like real leather to me. I think it turns a nice looking device into something that looks chunky and ugly. Also, the PU covers won't wear like leather (which looks better over time). Instead they are likely to delaminate, have the coating flake off, and look crappy.
+1000, those cases that completely cover it in fuax leather. yuk...
I'm waiting for the Asus case because nothing beats OEM. I think my beautiful Nexus 7 deserves something that enchances its looks and not ruins it. I wouldn't mind a leather or faux leather Asus built case either. I think in the time to come we will be seen a lot of accessories everywhere for our device. Don't rush and buy junk.
Both the black leather Apple smart Cover and the Blackberry Playbook Convertible cases are superb IMO.

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.

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

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.
As the title says...I am trying to find a flip case that protects but doesnot cover the speakers at the same time. I bought the poetic duracase with high hopes but it turns out that the straps actually cover the 'real' speaker area and leave the rest uncovered.
Has anyone found or had experiences with any cases that leave the entire speaker area uncovered?

Like one of the above posts, I also have the Poetic Hardback case. There are two very small tabs on the speakers (used to hold it in place) but they don't block the sound in any way. The case does add a little bulk, more than I was hoping for.

I love this case. My first had two tabs that didn't hold it in good. I was sent a replacement and it fits perfect and seems to be made a bit differently. Just stylus holder on opposite side and smaller loop and case didn't smell like chemical and more like leather. Definitely the new one is much better.
I don't think it is bulky at all, I think it is very slim and doesn't create much thickness at all. My roocase is much much more bulky.
I've bought this one.

I like the roocase due to the bulk...... Weird you may think but if my tablet falls on the screen it will never come in contact with the screen so the case takes the beating not my screen. This tablet is my baby Haha and I'm young and don't care too much about how heavy it is just whether it protects or not. It is a pain for fps tho so she comes out of the case for that but I'm normally laying down on a nice soft bed or couch.

I bought one and it's very good quality from aliexpress.com, seller jPhone Case Factory.

eBay is another option, but on the UK one the same thing cost a fair bit more.
Have noticed some variation on this type of case, the most important one being the ability for it to stand itself up horizontally which the one I have quoted is very good (look at the product images, you can see it has a clip at the back and it works very well and is very stable)
I got roocase executive leather
that's my 3rd case and I love it. Works the auto wake great once I learned where the magnet in the case was and where the sensor was on my n7. Beautiful real leather and the removable interior sleeve is nice. Not to mention it has a zipper zipps all the way

Thanks, but that one covers the bezel, which isn't what I want.

That thing isn't even in the same universe as what I am looking for!
Brook stone makes a very good one for iPad and it also comes with a Bluetooth keyboard

Would be a good suggestion if I had an iPad.
I think I am just going to say screw this kind of case and get a DODOcase Hardcover. A bit expensive, but I'm tired of these cheap cases that aren't of great quality, don't work as it is supposed to, or add a crap ton of bulk to the device.
Check out the Nillkin Case on ebay. Its a great case that is pretty cheap and functions exactly like the Apple Smart Case..
I'm sorry I guess I didn't read the title completely :banghead:

I'm currently using this one I got from Ebay and I highly recommend it:

I also purchased this one, but I don't like it at all. It's more of a rubbery texture where the one I got above is more of a fake leather:

Having had an Oberon case for my old Nook Tablet, I think I'm going to order another one for my Nexus 7 and modify it to be a smartcover. Not necessarily the thinnest covers out there but they are high quality and super tough.
