Just got an email announcing that the "Nexus 7" tablet covers are now available for purchase & shipping from the Google Play store....
They've been for sale for almost a week now

$10.00 to ship a $20.00 item ???? I'll PASS on this one !!!!!
Wrong. They have been backordered until today.
Who cares anyways. I'm not paying $31.28 for a POS case without a smartcover.

How have they been backordered until today if I ordered mine around Wednesday I think and I just got the email today? And I've paid more for other Nexus cases, and its not like its $60.

Definitely an easy pass. Case isn't worth $20 itself, needless to say another $10 to ship it. What a joke Google...
Not to hijack the thread. Just a question for everyone. It has probably been discussed elsewhere but you all seem interested on the topic. I know people have discussed if Google was in violation of crapple's patent for the smart cover. Do you ever wonder if Google decided to launch the device without a smart cover in order to not draw attention to it to avoid a lawsuit knowing others would make accessories utilizing it? They could claim it was for a dock or something.
I know this is a stretch, but how else do you explain such a pointless accessory? Also I know the Apple patent was very specific to the actual smart cover and that Google will be fine.

Nexus label on the rear. I'll take it.
Thanks for passing, more for us who would enjoy it.
This isn't an iPad, enough of the smart cover bs. I paid 60 for a smart cover on my iPad, and it doesn't even protect it lol.

You'll take it back soon. The plastic is too flimsy and no smart awake. Waste of money.

the cover doesn't stay closed. if you drop it and the cover is open, the screen is going to get damaged.

What's that even supposed to mean? He said he knew it wasn't a smart cover.

I dont want it to stand up. I know its not a smart cover.
I want a thin case with a cover for the screen.
Seems like it should work for me.
Also I currently have a leather case that is smart and fits perfectly in.... but I want it thinner.... And I can't get the "looks like a 15 year old nokia case" out of my head.:laugh:
The rubber rounds the edges and raises the screen. Good enough for setting it down and providing some defense from casual tumbles from the bed or couch. I don't want a smart cover, I use a password every time and the button is right there. Why do people always find stuff to complain about, instead of ways to enjoy what you just bought. There will always be something better, find what works for you.

I have been looking around for cool stylus/pen and came across this, by tactical does it mean it is solid metal that you can use for self defense?
would i get in trouble for carrying one around or on a flight?

Tactical just means that... u can use it for self defense but really any pen can be used for "tactical" defence. I sell these at my job but without the stylus part. I don't believe that you would get in trouble cuz it is after all a pen.
Nice find though

You can still poke someone in the eye with a plastic pen. Doesn't need to be a metal one:silly:
Tactical means it looks vaguely militaristic and is a surefire buzzword for selling anything at all to the wannabe soldiers out there..
Hold still while I write a stern note to you with my tactical pen or I'll blind you with my tactical torch. I'd hit you with my tactical belt but my tactical trousers would fall down..
They sell similar products at Walgreens for ten dollars.

I wouldn't say Florida is picky. In fact the state is pretty easy going on firearms and other weapons compared to many states. The TSA is a federal organization anyway so it doesn't really have anything to do with the state.
I don't consider it a weapon but many of these tac pens have glass breakers and DNA catchers. They're also relatively sharp and heavy... maybe that's why its considered a weapon.
Anyway. S&W makes pretty good tac gear. I might have to pick this specific one up. Thanks for posting.

Anyone know of a case that'll fit a Nexus 7 AND a large (ie: HTC One X) phone?
I often carry both with the Nexus tethered to the phone and would like something that could contain both.
This should hold all your gear:
I don't think I've ever seen a combined case, I don't know that that would necessarily be practical. Unless I'm at home, my phone usually lives in my pocket.

I, personally, don't want the phone in my pocket when I tether and I certainly don't want it sitting in plain (grabbable) sight when I'm sitting down using the N7 in poublic places.

I completely agree with you. I have been wanting a tablet/phone combo case since back in my nook color + EVO 4G days. I have a Galaxy note now. Not really practical to have it in my front pocket while sitting down. Plus the fact that if my signal is being sketchy due to my location, being in a pocket is just going to make it worse.

I guess you could fit your phone in the RooCase Executive Leather Case pockets
I don't post much but i had to post this. If you have a nexus 4 get a case ASAP. I have had many phones before this and i have never seen a phone crack so easily. I have Thrown my vibrant and nexus s ( not new of course) and they never shattered. This thing fell out of my pocket onto the floor while sitting at my desk. I measured the distance at approx. 2.5 feet. It looks like i flung it off a cliff. Gorilla glass my ass. I could understand if it cracked but this thing had chunks of glass coming off of it some of it splintered into my thumb.

God, I am so scared to even use this phone before getting a proper case...GOOGLE WHEN CAN I ORDER MY BUMPER
People seem to forget the definition of a troll. Oh well. As to the guy with the room mate it did not hit the corner it fell flat. but thanks for the advice ordering a temporary tpu case as i type.I am all for cases i never had a phone without one i just could not find any store around me to buy a temporary case while i wait for something form otterbox or something similar. I am not pissed just shocked at how much damage. I only posted to let others know not to hold out on a case and get one ASAP until they find something that suits them better. But ill let this thread die since it seems like the CRACK crack police (pun intended) is on the prowl on the forum.
Ouch, that's painful to look at.
Mine fell off my desk which is probably just about the same height. Slid off my wallet. <_>
It came out fine though... I'm really glad too. D:
Sorry for yours!

So I work as a lifeguard and I need my phone in the stand for music and ideally I'd like to have a waterproof case but there seem to be none available. i dont want the salt air to corrode the ports and internals of my phone so i usually use a sandwich bag but it doesnt provide any protection from sand really and its annoying. So I'm pretty crafty with duct tape so I decided to make my own case. I just did it about a half hour ago I'll probably make a better version in the future after I figure out the flaws but here's a few pictures of it. Let me know what you guys think.

Those are good ideas but it would be expensive for me because guard all summer 6 days a week and would need to change it everyday. Also the bag would be bulky and would take up room on the stand. I really want a case like the life proof but I know there are none

Well you could purchase those knock-off Otterbox Defender or Survivor cases. They should give you relatively ok protection from sand, drop impact, and minor splashes of water (for more water protection, those sealable cases I suggested earlier, would be your only choice).
This case http://www.ebay.com/itm/DRiPRO-Spor...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item4d0de9f4c3 is reusable, so that shouldn't be an issue.
I work beach volleyball and know what you mean, sand is the thing I fear most. I usually use two sandwich bags and scotch tape them tightly around the phone. Back camera's unusable then but the phone is safe the screen works just fine. I've also saran wrapped the phone itself and put it back in the case.

Absolutely fugly, I would never desecrate my note like that. You could have done better with the knock off survivor case, an sp, and a sandwich bag.

That's certainly a lot more compact and efficient than trying to find a product that just doesn't exist (I have the same problems as the OP with a different model). There's no long term water/sand proof solution for any of the Notes. Desecration? I guess a scratched up, worn out phone is preferable. I've been working on the beach for six years, I know what I'm talking about.
I've been using freezer bags lately for working beach volleyball; they seem thicker.

But hey, if ziplock bag wasn't working for you, that couldn't have cost more than $1 in parts. Maybe fifteen to thirty minutes of time. Obviously this is not a case about drops, but about keep tiny scratch particles from getting in. A prime example of function over form.
