This one seems to offer good protection, a hard shell inside a book style casing. No mention of a magnet.

"5.0 out of 5 stars Fits well and good value 28 Dec 2012
By Brent46
Colour Name:Black|Amazon Verified Purchase
Arrived early an looked very nice. Applied screen proector (always difficult on big Screens) one of the better protectors I have used, Fitted Nexus very well and all charging an buttons accesible. Turns device on an off as you open and close. Very happy with for £5 I paid"
Bit annoying that he only paid £5 for it when they're now £12 but even at that it's not a bad price.
It just seems like another of a million already available cases. All these dealextreme/ebay cases all look the same to me, and a case is a case, they're all plastic, and they will prevent scratching the screen, that's about it.
I've fallen for this one

Nillkin case
Not the cheapest, but it seems a good finish, tight and clean all around

Does this mean you already have that case? If so, what do you think of the pleather quality wise?

I posted the original link because I saw a case that took two properties of common cases that are not found together anywhere else, the book style cover enclosing the hard plastic shell. It's too bulky for my use but that doesn't mean it's not going to appeal to someone else, it deserved a link for that reason.

I got my case-mate Clear Armor screen/device protector yesterday (fit quite well by the way), and it came with a nice, soft, and thin cleaning cloth. And I realized - I want a case/pocket for my HD2 made of this or similar material. Will not increase thickness, will protect the device, which means perfect for carrying it in my jeans' pocket. It will also clean the device actually, and you could probably even take calls without removing it

at time 00:13. Mine is actually in silver color, very nice one.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I was so excited, I send an email to their support with the idea
Something like this?

It's nice because it doesn't add bulk and it protects against scratches, but it doesn't really help against drops and what not? I can live with a few mm of rubber to help soften the blow.
i just bought this hopefully turns out nice doesnt scratch on the inside or i might have to get one of those invisible shields

The case-mate I bought was exactly like this one. However, I'm talking about a simple case/pocket made of thin fabric. Haven't seen anything like that. Maybe I should claim a patent

Yeah, this one looks nice, but again doesn't protect the whole device and adds to the size. The invisible shield is better IMO.

i like the flip type...i might buy it..is it safe to?
thx for the info m8.
these look almost the very same as the easecases on ebay. but more expensive.
I've had PDAir cases before, the quality was very good and I reckon that will be the big difference between them and the chinese eBay ones.
Having had many PDair cases before, I have to agree that they are really robust and of good quality, backed up by good, prompt service. I will NOT be buying one of these though, as they do not have the quick release belt clip that I have always found incredibly useful.

the custom ones on ebay are actually of very good quality and made to order. £24 is a pretty good price to pay.
The PDAir ones are on ebay for £32

Made for the Kindle Fire, fits the Nexus 7 perfectly. It is a sleeve...and a very high quality one at that. The inside lining is "faux fur" style, and is extremely soft (pictured later...). Between the outer material and the fur is a layer of memory foam that seems like it will protect against every day bumps. The outer material is pretty rugged. Timbuk2 claims that it is TSA approved/compliant. I've included some pictures.
The 7 fits extremely well in this sleeve. There is very little wiggle room. The clasp that holds the whole thing together is just velcro, but I suspended the whole kit upside down and the tablet didn't fall out...so it seems pretty secure. Entire sleeve is fairly thin, which is exactly what I was looking for until more cases hit the market. Three color options, the one pictured, black, and brown.
The only real downside to this is the price, which is between $24.99 and $29.99 from Amazon. As a perk though, as a prime member I got a $5 amazon MP3 credit because I spent more than $20 on Kindle accessories.

This is the sleeve I've been looking for all along. It will match my TB2 backpack quite nicely.
Looks like a kitchen mitten.

It does, doesn't it? I kinda like the look, but I could definitely see it being a little divisive.
There *might* be enough room to fit the 7 in this sleeve with a thin case on it, like a TPU or Ipad-like smart-cover. If that is the case (lol!) it'll be perfect.
Can't say enough about the build quality and materials, they are great!
I have this code for my galaxy tab 8.9.
Top quality for sure.

I just wanted to recommend a product I just received today. Go check out her etsy store. You can get handmade sleeves for just about any device and if your device isn't there, just let her know what you want and she'll make it for you. This sleeve is made with a durable dark denim material on the outside and a stylish, soft colored interior fabric. Well-made and incredibly cheap. I got mine for just $16 + $5.50 shipping. She is based in Latvia so it takes a week or two to get to you but it is well worth the wait. For those of you who are going naked (no case on the Nexus), I highly recommend this seller's product. Even her packaging is well thought out and well designed.

Anyway, there's the link. And no, I am in no way affiliated with this seller.

How tight is it? Could I fit my N7 inside my Poetic case?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Those look really nice, actually. Though I usually don't go for just cloth cases.

No, but you could measure how much extra thickness and width it adds to your tab and send her a custom request. I don't think it costs any extra.. but don't quote me on that. My naked Nexus 7 slides easily, just perfectly, into the sleeve. With my thin incipio hardshell case it was a bit difficult to slide it, though possible. It also has to do with the slightly rubberized texture of the incipio case though.
And yeah, the case is just cloth with some soft fluffy batting inside for some padding. It is actually surprisingly durable, though from a 5 foot fall straight onto the corner of the tab, I'm not sure how much protection it will offer. Though, the corners are probably the best padded part. For throwing in a book bag it's pretty perfect.
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.
