Ebay Case review

I just received this case from Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310278043272&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Price was $7.59 with free shipping. Shipped the same day I ordered it.
A7 fits in it, although there's not much room. Corners of the A7 protrude slightly.
But, I am pretty happy with it, especially for the price.
You can open it up and stick the flap in the other side to hold it at an angle if you'd like.
Power button, charging port and headphone jack are accessible. You would have to slide one of the elastic bands over to access the USB and HDMI ports, but it's no big deal.
The way I have it in the case right now, you have to open it to charge it. But, you could flip the A7 if you'd prefer access to the port when closed.
I like the soft leather (?) interior. I think it will prevent any scratches on the screen, which is why I bought a case.

Thanks man. I figure it's worth the $8.

Its an okay case however did you know that some of the Nook Color Cases will work with the Elocity. The devices are the same size with the exception of the Elocity being thicker. I have found several cases at Barnes & Noble that work with the Elocity.

I went to check out some Nook/Nook Color covers tonight but found that none of them were quite right for me. Most didn't fit or hold the A7 in place. The few that almost worked were too short, I don't mind if a little bit of the device shows but too much was exposed.
I just ordered one of these and can't wait to get it. Thanks for the images, they really helped me make my decision.

Thanks from me too I ordered one as well. I figure 7 bucks shipped isn't too bad a risk.

Confirming that the nook color zipper case is the only one that works with th A7. The A7 fits into the book type cases but it does not clamp in tightly and can easily fall out. I picked up the neoptene zipper one from Barnes and Noble and it has a very nice fit. Not loose and moving around at all. $30 bucks though.

Is that a sleeve or a case Cadiken?

Zipper sleve if you will. You cannot use the A7while it is in there.

Received my case from ebay, thanks!

Same here and the wife really likes it. I think the OP should get a commission!

Thanks OP - the a7 is such a wacky shape - good that you found anything that comes close!

Possible cases?
Hey guys,
I'm currently deployed in Iraq. I just bought the A7 and am awaiting its arrival any day now. I very very excited. I obviously dont have access to Barnes & Noble so I was wondering since most of you have checked out the cases there if any of you came across these two cases for the nook color? Do you think they might fit the A7? It wont let me post outside links until I have posted 8 times. But both cases can be found on Amazon. Thanks in advance!

case
I have the e-bay case, I would recommend it. It allows you to open and close, as well prop up to watch movies
It won't block dust, but it will protect the front. I have a belkin kindle 2g sleeve that is neoprene that does slide over the entire ensemble if you are looking for dust protection (though there is a bit of extra room).

Case
Yeah I tried ordering it from ebay but the seller wont send it to my deployed location. My most reliable sources are Amazon being the primary and tigerdirect/newegg.com

I ordered and received the case from ebay mentioned by JAZZBONE at the beginnging of this thread. I like it, it works well at protecting the screen and tucking the closure strap in while in the open position does indeed make for a great stand. I inserted my A7 so the charging port can be accessed while closed. When I am on the road I flip it so the earphone port can be accessed while closed. It would be nice if it were padded. I am anxious to see the case eLocity will be selling.

Is everyone who bought this case still happy with it?

I bought it and I like it. It protects the screen. It doesn't interfere with the micro sized micro card reader I keep in the USB slot. The elastic on the other end of the case holds down the door that was covering the USB and HDMI slots.
I also have a neoprene case on the way from Amazon. Hopefully the A7 and the eBay case will fit inside it to keep dust out and keep the tablet safer in my purse.

I also ordered a neoprene case from Amazon,it said it was for the a7 and came with a screen saver,if its the same one I ordered you will have plenty of room with some to spare.

I ordered too! I already scratched the front of my elocity so I'm sure this will provide some protection.

another Samsung Galaxy Tab case roundup
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvd9iiJBZaU
but I do not know what should I buy

I've got the scosche foldio & really like it because it hardly adds any bulk to the tab.

Hi,
I would advice you to at least buy 2 case.
1. Foldable leather case with at least 2 landscape standing position groove
This one for premium feel & function outing.
2. Left, right & back protected transparent hard plastic case
This one for light & casual outing.

I'd also recommend the Zenus case, which isn't on the list. I got mine last month, and am pretty pleased with it. It's leather and adds some thickness, but it still fits in my coat pocket, but not most of my jeans' back pockets. I may break down and get a lighter one late Spring, or might just carry it around naked.

The Zenus is a very well made case, it looks classy and isn't bulky, doesn't cover any of the screen and the stand on it is solid and works well. I'm very pleased with the purchase, unlike the stock Samsung case which is quite poorly designed.

Yeah, after some weeks searching,
i found my favorit

Melkco Leather Case
I'm also looking for a tab case - great post with the video links. Since I'm new to the forum I can't post links, but google:
Melkco leather case galaxy tab
and it comes right up.
Retails at $69 USD. Pricey, but looks great.

otterbox case after a few drops i still love it.

I absolutely loathe cases where you have to slide the Phone/Tab into.
Not only are they difficult to put in and remove the device but they obstruct part of the screen and when you are swiping the leather edges can get in the way.
I much prefer the type that allows you to 'clip the Tab into place.
This method is easy to insert/remove and does not restrict the screen in any form.
Noreve do one (see here fore link) ~ This one has the added advantage of additional pockets for cards, notes, etc. and can be used as a stand to hold the Tab in Landscape.
Plus you can design the case to your own liking.
However, it's missing one vital ingredient for me and that is I would like to be able to remove the leather part that covers the screen.
I've seen cases where the case comes apart allowing you to remove the top screen cover which in turn makes it easier to hold and use the Tab when standing and if you put it down and want the screen on but not in it's stand you don't have a top cover flap hanging off at the side.
So... anyone seen a case similar to the Noreve but has a detachable screen cover?

It's an interesting design and as always the Apple brand gets the 'prettiest' of designs.
Not sure about that release mechanism though.... I'd rather have the top cover come completely off thus ensuring the sides and back are still protected.

Scosche Foldio is the best, no added bulk, easy to put in jacket pocket, even in a the back pocket of my jeans, easy to take out and show off if needed and makes an awesome stand.

I really like the Samsung Slide Release Sleeve. It protects the tab well but lets you get it out easily to use it. The Tab is a sexy device, no sense having it hidden away all the time!
I also have the "d30" leather travel case (from Carphone Warehouse) which is really nice for travelling (makes a good stand) but unfortunately it partially covers the soft buttons which can make it a pain to use.

I just received my ' Case Mate - Barely There '.
It is exactly what i was looking for. Not scared to place it on the table or sunroom floor anymore in case of scratching the back. I think the tab looks excellent in its all new black look
Now hopefully it will fit in the Brodit holder for my van

aha! TY for these links! helped me decide on 2 cases.

LOL! I asked the exact same question in the other Otterbox thread! Guess I'll be able to answer the question myself here in about 4 days...

Great please let us know and take a picture if you can. Cause that would be the deciding factor for me. I wont get it if I cant dock it. DS7 + Dock is great for gaming. Trying to take off the case all the time would suck and not be worth it.

I have the OtterBox case but no docking station. I assume that it plugs into the multi-pin bottom port. The case adds some added thickness around the whole S7 plus a soft rubber bumper which a flap covering the port. The flap opens, hinged on the top or screen side and wraps around the under on the bottom. With the standard OEM cord plugged in, the flap extends past the plug by a good 1/4". Want a picture of cord plugged in?
Did a search for the docking station and found this review page: Docking Station. One of the posts state that they have to remove the OtterBox to dock!

Well that really STINKS! I'm thinking that maybe using the back rest plate for the Streak 5 (it comes with the docking kit) will make it work. That back rest plate is curved to allow for a slightly thicker device to fit into the dock.
If it really can't be made to work then the case will have to go. I won't give up my dock - I like it so much I bought 2 of them....
EDIT: I just dug out the Streak 5 back rest plate and looked it over. It is actually curved the opposite way (compared to what I was thinking) to make it work with a THINNER device - not a thicker one.
Sad to say, but this is NOT looking very promising. I may actually have to make a new back rest plate. The big question will be whether the connector in the docking station will plug far enough into the socket with the case on the unit...

Yea if I have to remove it, then no, I dont need the outterbox. I mean I already hate that I cant dock my zune cause I use the hard case on it (official one) What I wish is if docks made extension cords for it.. Imagine use extension on the dock and you could least get features of dock even if it wasnt sitting in it. That or a block you add on top of the dock to fit with cases.
Anyone know a GOOD decent case that the dock would fit with?

is this the rubber case like the DS5 Otterbox? the one that you had to stretch around, but still held well, or the one that is a complete b*tch to get off once it's on?

I ordered this and got it next day. It's a four piece case. There is a rubber "skin" that goes over the hard shell. It's not the easiest thing to get off, no.

Well, I got my OtterBox today. Nice case - pretty much the ultimate in protection.
BUT unfortunately, there's no way to make it fit into the dock with the case on and since it won't just slip easily out of the case, that's a deal breaker for me.
Unless someone here wants to buy it for what I paid for it I'll be sending it back...

Ok so we know that this doesnt work, sucks, but sadly the dock is a vital thing to have on the counter. Easy to keep in view, hook up to the tv, and works wonders for playing emulators on and easy to see. =)
So we need to figure out which case we can use. Was thinking about a simple cover on it. Rubber maybe ok but I need to find a good one that doesnt "sweat" or make a smell after being on it for ages. Then we need one that fits the dock.

Yeah, I just ordered one of the $5 silicon cases of eBay. We'll see how it works out. I'll keep you posted...

Ordered mine, since I'm not having much luck getting a dock at a decent price figured I might as well since the defender is one of the best case options I've seen for the Streak 7

Yeah, if I didn't have and use the dock I'd definitely keep the OtterBox. I ordered a 2-pack of "military grade film" screen protectors and a silicon skin case from eBay. Combined they were a whopping $10.98
I know its not going to be the same level of protection as the OtterBox, but it should be enough to protect it from day to day knocks, bumps, and bruises. I may also get one of those neoprene slip cases for it...

http://www.all4cellular.com/dell-streak-7-home-audio-video-dock.html 50$ on sale. There are some aftermarket ones too for 25$ but those ONLY charge and sync, no hdmi and so, which honestly, is rather pointless in terms of the streak, since hdmi is nice.

I put a Zagg screen protector on mine.

Got the cheapo skin case the other day. It is just thick enough to keep the Streak from fitting into the docking station.
So I got out a pair of small sharp scissors and enlarged the hole for the bottom connector until it exposed the whole area around the docking connector where it makes contact with the docking station.
That still didn't quite solve the problem. The thickness of the case on the back of the unit where it leans against the clear plexiglass "backstop" moves it forward on the docking station to the point that the connectors don't line up properly.
So the next step was to make a new "backstop" out of thinner plastic. I had an old hotel key card lying around and that worked great. Just the right thickness, and stiffness, yet easy to cut to match the shape of the tabs across the bottom.
Since it is much thinner than the slot in the base I filled in the slot with a little hot glue. That way I can always remove it easily if I choose to since the hot glue doesn't stick that well to hard non-porous surfaces.

I have 2 N7's. For the one I keep in the house I have a "i-blason slim leather portfolio auto wake/sleep stand case" in black, (Amazon $19.99) a sgp steinheil crystal clear screen protector, (Amazon $21.99) and I bought a pack of two stylus from T-Mobile ($19.99)that are also pens, they're really nice.
For the other N7 that I take with me to work, use as a gps, etc...I have the "extact tpu x design hybrid case in black, (Amazon $5.95 with free shipping) crazy on digital clear screen protectors, (Amazon $4.85) and I keep the N7, with the tpu on, in a "Mofi 7 inch zip tablet sleeve",(Amazon $9.99) it's green and has Andy the android on it...love it! I also have a "blurex ultra slim multi view stand case" in black, (Amazon $12.99) I switch back and forth between the tpu case and the blurex on the 2nd N7...depending what I'm out and about doing. I also bought a "belkin" stand for watching movies when I don't want the N7 in a case...the blurex case doesn't have anything around the screen like the i-blason does, it's a completely bare screen except for 6 leather clips on the corners to keep the N7 in place. I bought a pair a skull candy ear buds in red, (T-mobile, $19.99) love those! I think that's all I have for accessories right now for both N7's. I bought 3 stylus (styli?) on Amazon for $1.15, they came in a pack of 3, bought them before I found the ones at t-mobile...prefer the ones from T-Mobile, much more nicer, they are skinnier and the rubber tip is firmer.

Nice color options, fits the tablet well. Standard TPU case but I liked the blue color and the simple design.
Primary cover: Official Asus Travel Cover
I actually like it, I just wish it came stock as a smart cover that held itself closed. I added a tiny thin magnet to the front flap so at least I get the smart function. I could probably solve the "doesn't hold itself shut" issue if I cared enough, but it suits for now. I'd like to see the other colors from Asus, especially if they come with a built-in smart cover. I also want to see the Premium Asus case when it's available.

Feels lightweight and kind of cheap, but the mesh tip glides smoother than any rubber one I've used. Good color options.

[REVIEW] Supcase's Ultra Slim Fit Case

A review for the Ultra Slim Fit Case by Supcase:
Overall a very good case, especially if you're looking for something thin. On a five-star scale, this is five out of five.
This case is one of the thinnest I've seen. The Nexus fits into the case with a book-like flap covering the screen. A Velcro flap holds the Nexus securely in the case.
The cover has magnets inside that allow it to stay closed without flopping around everywhere, and it also tells the Nexus's screen to turn on when the cover is opened. Closing the cover turns off the Nexus's screen.
Cutouts: everything is accessible. With the case closed you can still charge the Nexus or access the power/volume buttons. Even the two microphone ports (on top and on the left side) and the four gold circles (docking station connectors, I think?) have cutouts.
Hands-free: the cover can be folded behind the case into a triangle that lets the Nexus stand up for watching movies.
Pics attached.
