If you are interested in getting a really nice case for your Nexus 7 check this one out. I know there have been other reviews, but I figured I'd post up a video incase anyone was curious.
Sorry for the blurriness...working on it.
Good review of the case. Thanks for taking the time to do it.

No problem, I also forgot the mention that if you get a metal stylus it will stick right to the front of the case with the magnet.
Thanks for the review!

question: Is the wood a single piece or is it glued together?
Here is the book case that I use.

I don't get what's good about the case lol wood? Little too fancy for my blood, looks like its made to sit on a mantle and never get used?

Different people with different tastes, that's why we use android.
Hi guys,
i always wondered why the "x" on the back of the nexus 7 doesn't come in the nice nexus-colors...
So i did some modification to color it, and it looks really great!
This is just a quick how-to and i'm sure anyone can do it, too.
First of all, i thought about how to color it, and because i didn't want to get some permanent stuff on it, in case anything goes wrong, i decided to use tape for it.
So i ordered some tape in the matching nexus-colors, and made sure that the colors fit properly (light blue and green).
Cutting it out was actually pretty hard, because i had to do it very accurate, but i managed it.
After i attached it to the back using a tweezer, i looked awesome, but check it out, exactly how i imagined.
Its not perfect yet (red one is a little to big) but it seems to hold pretty good so far.
Cutting it out with a laser would be perfect, looking for someone who could do that atm...
But anyway, it looks so much better to me than the dull black, and i'm sure you like it, too!
In case you can't see the thumbnails, try this: http://imageshack.us/g/1/9778350/
Very neat! If I had the tape I would do it, pero but I wouldn't really order it on purpose.

That's awesome! Quite a bit of work, but it looks like it played off. I may just have to try this.

75 cents each, no shipping costs, was really cheap, and i can use it for other projects...
Why google didn't think about it?

This is really great.
I wonder if it would be easier using Acrylics paints. I think I am gonna give it a try some other day.

Normally you should see them, but sometimes this seems to be broken...

Thought about that, too.
Make sure to work very accurate, and tape off all the area around the "x", then this could be great. (I would paint 3 layers to make sure the color is well covering)
That looks very nice. I want it but cant be botherd doing it. Maybe some other time, probably when i am drunk lol.

If you try it make sure to post it, if it sticks well i have some acrylic paint lying around that could be used
OK, I tried the Acrylics paints, but I failed terribly. The ditches of the X were so thin the paints ended up everywhere. I even used a sewing needle to work with it but no go. So I think OP using colored tapes is a smarter move.

Did you already order it? If not, forget it and go with the blurex ultra slim case, that's really the best one you can get and it's even cheaper!

Try clearing your cache, page history and whatnot. I suggest Ccleaner.
On Topic: I love the idea, but alas I am too lazy to look for the tapes.
I've been waiting for this to turn up for ages and I finally got my hands on the Otterbox Defender last night. It really does add some weight and bulk to the phone but of course offers the protection a lot of people are looking for. I personally like the look of the grey case but the wait for that is still about a month I believe.

Any word on the commuter?

Good review but the Defender is way to bulky for me and the screen cover has too much glare. Which is why I want the Commuter, any idea when you can review it?

I personally prefer the commuter, I will be reviewing it as soon as it arrives. I didn't expect to the defender till mid December so I can't say when I'll get my commuter unfortunately.
With a case like the Defender I would probably drop my phone on purpose just so I can feel good about walking around with a case that big.

I did it all the time with my iPhone 4. Lol. I'd drop it on the concrete floor at work from eye level (I'm 6'4" ) because people wouldn't believe the case was that good, then THEY were the ones that would freak when I let it go haha

Yeah some of the Youtube videos of drop tests are scary to watch the first time, proves the case does it job though I guess.
I have been tempted to do my own drop tests on video but at the same time I'm too scared it will break lol

I think the overall was 27$ when I bought it. I paid about 18€.
thanks IKBZI. that's pretty expensive...because of the transport costs. i'll try to find/make something locally.

It's kinda weird. It has some kind of glue, which makes the skin able to be removed and added again. I don't know how to call it, but I liked it, since it's really easy to put or to take off. I recommend it if you liked it.
That looks so awesome, I'm jealous.

Did a quick Google search and it looks like there's a place online who makes some, nothing to the extent of the custom vinyl though.

If anyone else has a site that has better one's please post them, this is a great idea with how easily the back gets scratched due to the material.

You'll be lucky if that lasts a week. Note even at the end of his video the corners of the back piece are already wrinkling back up. The side pieces are a complete waste of time; there is so little contact area they'll peel straight back off the first time you touch them.
The only bit that will stay in place is on the glass, which needs no protection anyway.
