Good THIN case?

So I got the rooCase off Amazon and while its decent it makes the tablet HUGE, like 4x the thickness. Anyone have any thon cases? I just want something to put it in when I throw it in my bag.

Maybe you should check out the KaysCase TPU cases. Not really any thin folios though.

My recommendation would be the slim-fit Moko case. I currently have the slim case but plan on getting good it with the free exchange. Moko has proven to be a great company and offered a free change for all the people who bought a case without the "smart cover" . It comes out on Wednesday.

Any thin cases that can do both portrait and landscape, as well as the magnet smart wake?

Found this one from the same company:
http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Rotating...343010232&sr=1-2&keywords=slim-fit+Moko+nexus
Not only does what I am looking for, but it also has an additional viewing angle over the other two moko cases. It doesn't mention it being thin, but it seems to have roughly the same dimensions as the ones that are listed as slim fit.
The main reason I want it slim is so that it can fit in a car holder, namely this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004M8ST36/
Can the moko cases fold back so that the flap isn't hanging out?

I decided to go with the rooCase bubble pouch. I like KT naked too much when I'm using it, I just wanted something to protect during travel

I want to be able to put the case in the car mount without having to remove it.

You guys have to remember about the back speaker needing space to sound ok

TPU
I keep searching and notice a lot more vendors have them available, TPU cases that is. Seems they are all selling the same 2 designs.
But this one has the largest color selection. For those looking for the White Backing

Just received an awesome case
I ordered this case in the UK a few days ago, just arrived, with a screen protector and a stylus pen aswell.
MOFRED® Case + Screen Protector + Stylus Pen
Built fantastically if slightly loose but not too much, makes the nexus 7 slightly thicker but is great build quality and the stylus pen is awesome.
Probably just as good as most others but only 6 pounds. Loving it. Hesitant to use the screen protector though.

Those colored TPU cases looks great, it's what I've been looking at on Amazon. The varied colors are sweet but I'd pick the white or the black.
That ebay link will take at least 2-3 weeks to arrive cause it comes from china. I'll probably order one off Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Exact-Design-Google-Android-Tablet/dp/B008LJKTGC?t=slickdeals&tag=slickdeals
And hope that it doesn't take that long. It's $6. Looks like Free Shipping. So I'm pulling the trigger on the black one.

I also bought this case. I have to say that I think it adds too much bulk. The stylus is actually great though. Not used my fingers since.
I've bought a gelaskin for the back and I'm gonna buy a slip to keep the N7 in when not in use.

Poetic Keybook Case & Poetic Slimbook Leather Case Reviews. Pics Included.

This is a review for the Poetic Keybook Case and Poetic Slimbook Case. Why did I buy 2 cases? I'm a picky person, I want to have the best experience with my Nexus 7. Please no griefing/complaining/"another thread because some dude bought a toy for his nexus." I'm spending my own time so you guys can see about possibly case ideas.

Poetic Keybook first.
View of the back, and instruction manual.
View of the top of the case.
The inside of the case is covered in a microfiber-like leather and feels very good.
Top-down view of the keyboard with the mirrored charging light panel and link button. The keys feel very thin and/or cheap.
I was a bit worried the keys would hit the screen, but they do NOT appear to rub up against the screen. There's about a 1.5 MM clearance.
Charging usb slot and the on/off switch. The keyboard is good for 120 hours work time/130 days standby time.

The keyboard is detachable (for charging reasons I assume) and is held in place by 4 magnets. The keyboard does NOT slide out of place.
Speaker hole without Nexus 7.
Speaker hole WITH Nexus 7, cutouts are in the perfect spot.
The flap for the stand are held down by another magnet, and feels VERY sturdy when erect.
My Nexus 7 dressed up and ready to hit the town!
Pairing was as easy as typing in a passcode.
On a final note there is Android specific keys on the top layer, as well as media keys and volume up/down keys. Very nice.
===============================================================================================

Now for the Poetic Slimbook!
The inside is also covered by the very nice microleather stuff.
My Nexus 7 fits snuggly into the Slimbook.
USB and headphone jack cutouts.
Volume rocker and on/off switch cutouts.
In high profile landscape mode.
On the backside there's an elastic strap so you can hold your Nexus 7. I would have liked this feature more if there was a way to hook the back cover onto the front, but it will do the job. It is way more comfortable than holding the nexus regularly.
View of the backside.
==============================================================================================
So, which case do I prefer?
Keybook positives:
Has a removable keyboard.
Fits together very snuggly.
The stand is very well made.
Made of a tougher leather than the Slimbook.
Negatives:
Keys feel flimsy.
User manual was for an Ipad.
Slimbook: positives.
Very light.
Has wallet-like slots in the cover.
Elastic hand strap.
Negatives:
To stand the case up you have to bend the back piece of leather back and forth, probably can't be good in the long run.
I will use the Slimbook for when I hang out with friends and don't plan on being anywhere where I can sit down and type. For going to a general hipster coffee shop or while I'm home, I'll use the Keybook. Fun fact of the day, I typed this whole review using the Keybook!

So you are happy with this? Looks good, was thinking of getting something like this.
Any major gripes?

Sorry, thanks to the mod who helped me out.
See 3rd post for pro/con list

Mistaken post. Ignore

Thanks, I was really going back and forth trying to decide what case to get, your review helped me decide on the slimbook!

Thank hottbill. I've been using an old folding Stowaway Bluetooth keyboard (video of it working if anyone's interested) but this seems much more convenient.
Can you confirm what the weight of the Keybook (including batteries) is please, just by itself without the Nexus 7 or packaging? I can't manage anything too heavy. My current keyboard is just 160g.

They keys seem like they would need to small to fit in the case. If you have bigger hands, do you think it would be hard to type?

I do have big hands, and it took a little bit to get used to it, but it's not that difficult to type on. Only problem is the space bar is slightly off center and I press the space bar with my right thumb.

I just got the poetic keybook. Typing this response on it. The smaller keyboard makes me feel like I'm back on my Timex Sinclair 1000, but overall not too bad. I love that the keyboard can be easily removed if you know you don't need it on a particular day. Even without the keyboard the case is still a little bulky though. Easy access to the port and the camera isn't affected. I would give it 3.5 to 4 stars out of 5.

Bought one yesterday after your review. I was tired of waiting on Senyx to ship the CaseCrown model. Its been delayed twice, now out to the 14th.

I had gotten the Keybook but didn't like it. I kept missing keys and it didn't work well for me overall so I'm sending it back for a refund. I'm going to get a slimbook however as that should work for the time being.
Once these become available I'll probably get one at that time. --> http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-REVOLUTION-Google-Android-Tablet/dp/B008PB4F7K/

Cheers hottbill. As my existing full-size folding keyboard weighs only 160g I think I'll stick with it until I find a keyboard case that weighs less!

Nice, thanks for the breakdown. Definitely helps!

Hi,
You can order them from Amazon, although shipping will take a bit longer. I believe standard shipping is 7-11 days (as opposed to 3-5 days in the USA.)
Someone correct me if I'm wrong though.

I have the poetic slimbook and I love it mostly. i recently got a slightly different poetic slimbook for my wife's kindle fire, which I think has a much nicer texture and look. I wish poetic would make this for the N7.

I reached "Nexus 7 poetic slimbook" and found this yet-to-be-released Snugg case, which looks interesting.

The reason I ask is because when I tried ordering it, it gave me a shipping error, saying the item does not ship to Canada. Is there any way I can fix that, or am I out of luck? ):

Funny how we still manage to want to go back to netbook era with all these accessories. There is a quad-core netbook available, isn't there? But that is a nice case anyway. I just wish more accessories will come to our country also.

The official non-bezel-covering unobtrusive case thread

I hate the cases that cover the bezel and basically leave only the screen viewable. I find they add bulk, get in the way of your fingers sometimes, etc. This is the thread for cases that don't do this. Preferably these cases have only 2-3 "layers." A lid (or not), the tablet, then the back, and the holding mechanism is typically kind of invisible or unobtrusive. I find it's generally the fourth layer in the middle that goes on top of the bezel or on the back where there's a rotation mechanism that adds the unneeded bulk. Hopefully these cases still allow you to pocket your N7. Personally I'd love some kind of TPU case with a kickstand, but no luck so far.

All those case are exactly the same except for the Kay's. Theres a few different ones one ebay too. Im waiting for a nice slim case too, one like the poetic smart case.

This poetic case differs slightly as it has a hand grip and elastic strap to hold the case closed.
I wonder how it compares to the kayscase one you posted (particularly how the stand holds up to slight shaking on airplanes)

I've been looking at that one myself, nice and slim but too expensive for what it is at £24 inc del (ignoring the vastly over-inflated 'original' price it was never sold at). I'll wait and see what price it ends up being sold for.

I have the top one listed. The black. Works good. Adds quite a bit of thickness but comes off easy. I think I'll use it to snap on when I leave the house and run nekkid when at home.
The Smart Cover works very well and doesn't turn the screen off when folded behind. I was wondering what that little lanyard loop was for, stylus. Good to know. Again it is nice that this case can just pop off whenever you need and not requiring any extra effort to get it off like a sleeve or a tight fit. The N7 is pretty snug in there but comes off with little effort.
I have the slim Poetic Smart Case on order. I like a thin profile. So far I've tried a TPU case and this one. As long as the Poetic doesn't have some major flaw, I'll probably switch to that once I get it. Sure it's $20 but I spent $30 for my Ringke Slim for my Galaxy Nexus.

I have this one, which I just posted a review about, with pics:

I prefer the cases which allow the 360 degree rotation, so those will be a bit bulkier. Don't mind it though since I prefer the versatility over the slight bulkiness.

There are a few minor differences hence multiple links. Some are different prices, some will be out of stock, some have a stylus loop, some come in different colors, some have a differently designed speaker cutout, etc. So I didn't feel it was redundant.

Remove all Amazon referrer links.

The official case doesn't really cover much bezel

For a book reader like myself, the official cover is great and doesn't really cover the bezel, and its still able to maintain a relatively thin profile.

I agree. I was hoping for a thread like this to pop up thank goodness

I also hate bezel covering cases. Hopefully more pop up.
I'd waiting on a nexus 7 version of http://www.incipio.com/BlackBerry-PlayBook-Cases-Accessories/Incipio-BlackBerry-PlayBook-Executive-Premium-KICKSTAND-Leather-Case.asp

Waiting for the MoKo to come out with more colors! Love this style but it would be perfect if it had a kickstand in the back for portrait mode. Not sure why anyone hasn't made one like that yet.
Please keep this thread updated! I'm still holding out on buying a new case until I find one that's just what I want (I already have a cheapo case protecting my N7 for the time being). Thanks!

I would like something that doesn't snap over the back cover but replaces it similar to what the galaxy note has since the back just snaps off. Here is an example of a very ugly one I can't find the matte black or white ones with a quick google search but they exist link. The only addition I would like to see is the tri fold front cover with magnet to make it a smart cover like this case. If the case had the same outside texture as the stock back that would be a bonus as well. I doubt we will get one though.

I have the poetic case ams and it works quite well.
It's still thin and pocketable while offering great protection due to the sturdy front cover.

The colored i-Blason cases seem to cover half of the speaker. Anyone own one of these? I'm thinking about getting the blue one. I'd like to know if this is a problem.

Amzer Neoprene Sleeve

Hey everyone!
I know there have been other threads about cheap neoprene sleeves, and pouches, but I have found an interesting neoprene sleeve.
It is made by Amzer, and has a very unique feature that I have not seen in any other neoprene sleeves.
Here are some pictures:

Notice on the right that there is actually an extra layer INSIDE the pouch.
It sells for $19.95 USD, plus shipping costs depending on your region.
Here is a video on the sleeve:
EDIT: Thanks to Sqaures, here is a short review of the sleeve:
For those who are interested in ordering, you can check it out on their official site HERE
It is also available on Amazon. LINK: Canada, US, or UK
EDIT: Thanks to KryptosXLayer2, people who live in the US can get it HERE for a much cheaper price.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to get my hands on one of these for my Nexus 7 , but hopefully will be able to get one soon :good:.
Just wanted to share my findings , also if anyone has found a similar and cheaper product please share! I have been looking desperately haha.

hi!
Thanks very much! I think i've settled on wanting pouch now after nearly every case is leather style!!

You are very welcome , glad I could help! What type of leather cases have you tried so far?

I've not bought any but i've seen a couple and i just find the leather look dated! plus some of the designs add too much bulk imo!
I was hoping for more of an iPad smart cover look but i suspect Asus and Google didn't fancy a law suit!

Yea, I have done my fair share of searching. I just want something to protect my tablet on the go, a pouch is great for that. No zippers, metal/rough edges, just neoprene .

Just ordered it. should get it next week!

Look forward to the review, the dimensions look tight!

This pouch is great, has space of accessories (e.g. my OTG cable and headphones) and it fits really well.

I've got a Cruzerlite case on mine and wondered how easy it would be to insert / remove from a neoprene case - anyone have any experience with a case? I like this one, but saw some really cheapy ones similar to it on eBay for A DOLLAR, SHIPPED:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Neoprene-Sl...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item4169968faa
What makes this worth $20 compared to the dollar neoprene case? I'm not being harsh, there were people on the Cruzerlite thread saying the same thing about $5 TPU cases and the Cruzerlite not being worth $20, but I liked the Android Clone Army on it, okay, so there.... Just want to know why I should go with this before I spend the money, I like the second pouch on the inside, but if you're not planning on bringing cables with you, is it worth it?
EDIT - also found this one on eBay for $17.57 shipped currently:

@KryptosXLayer2:
Great find on eBay for people who live in the US, I'll update the original post.
As for the reason that this sleeve is different from other cheap ones, as mentioned in the first post: The sleeve has an extra layer on the inside to store accessories.
Cables, headphones, OTG cables, memory cards, etc...
I would definitely buy other cheaper ones if there were any out there. But it is the only one I found with such a feature. Just thought I'd share .

It is definitely NOT that tight.... I have a TPU style case on mine and it isn't nearly tight enough for me to be worried about cracking screens or tearing the neoprene case - no need to worry, you aren't buying from some cheapy manufacturer, if something tore on it, I'm certain Amzer would replace it

Mine definitely WAS that tight - tired pulling it different ways, setting device in front of or back of seams, etc - tried pulling on angle cuts, pushing in depth first, etc - mine was TOO tight after many tries, sent back.

The Search for the Nexus 10 Sleeve/Case/Cover of my Deams (and possibly others')

First off, let me describe what I look for in a case/ sleeve.
First and foremost, I want a premium look and feel, preferably leather, but other materials will do. I paid a large sum of money for this gorgeous tablet, and I would like to put it in a gorgeous case. In my opinion, getting a slim tablet and putting it in a tank like case defeats the purpose of the tablet being thin in the first place.
Typically the premium factor is limited to sleeves. I have not found any high end leather CASES, they're all either pleather, or low quality leather, and look poor on the tablet. Also most leather cases that double as stands look weird, or have too much excess material to secure the tablet to the 'board' of sorts on the back of the case.

As far as cases go, cases that have a cover, but then fold back to form a weird angled stand like so: http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Google-Elastic-Included-Warranty/dp/B009RZPH1G/ref=pd_sim_pc_10
are just weird in my opinion, they look odd, and I don't want that much snapping on and off the corners of the tablet, it'll create ware.
However Sleeves often do not have a clasp, or a securing mechanism, but as far as I can tell, friction will do it's job of keeping the tablet in the case, especially due to the Nexus 10's grippy back.
So far I have found two cases that employ both form, function, and a premium feel.
A sleeve: http://www.dodocase.com/products/durables-sleeve-for-nexus-10
(Although it is neither made of leather, nor does it have a clasp)
and a Case: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimbook-Leather-Function-Warranty/dp/B00A6X4048/ref=pd_sim_pc_2
(Also not leather, but the leather texture will do if realistic enough. At least I don't think it's leather)
I do have one question about the poetic slimbook case I just linked to, would the cover of that stay attached and covered if held upside down via a magnet of sorts, or is it rather flimsy, and just flops around, as a slave to gravity?
To close, I would like to ask a few questions.
Does anyone else have a want for a premium case or sleeve, or am I the only one?
Has anyone found cases or sleeves that are similar to the ones mentioned above (the last two, not the first two)?
Any word on that smart cover that the nexus 10 was unveild with, shown in the video from The Verge Hands on and such.
Also I'd like to mention that I'm really interested in buying a product from http://www.vajacases.com/ however they conveniently do not have a nexus 10 case.

You hit the nail on the head. My thoughts on cases are basically yours. And the Vajacases are really awesome but in my opinion too much premium and therefore too expensive. I think i'll wait for the verge-video-case which hopefully seamlessly attaches to the N10. It can't be too expensive as well. I'm curious when we'll get more information on the same.

If you want to send it up to me in Canada I will pay you full price. We can't get the poetic cases up here. Which one were you going to return?

There's a thread now in accessories with a video and pics of the poetic slimbook a guy just received. I also ordered one as there's only 3 left in stock and it looks good enough for me.

I cant wait for the slimline case as I love it on my nexus 7

SF bags offer some good looking high quality sleeves.
http://www.sfbags.com/products/nexus-cases/nexus-slipcase.php. In this slipcase video, it shows kindle fire slipcase and it shows that even when turned upside down, the kindle won't come out.
they have plenty other choices but it's pre-order for now and start to ship at 11 december. The prices are kinda steep but since you don't care much about price, might as well try it out. Personally, i love the citysleek design.

I've looked through and seen all of the SF bags for the Nexus 10 a while ago, the suede jacket (http://www.sfbags.com/products/nexus-cases/nexus-suedejacket.php) seems to be to my liking. I personally would want something with a little more protection (I don't know how, but I feel like leather would protect it more than suede, despite them being virtually the same material).
The city slicker one is cool, and so is the out back one, but as far as the city slicker and other multipurpose/ travel/ compartmentalized cases go, I already have a North Face Surge bag, so I don't need any more space. I'm looking for a case or sleeve that would protect my tablet INSIDE of my other back, as well as protect it from day to day carrying outside of my backpack, such as if I'm driving to a friend's house, I'd want to case it and throw it on my passenger seat.
I know the previous sentance is a run on, but it's 4:30 am where I am, and I don't care about run on-s and grammar at the moment.

Looks like they'll have one for the Nexus 10 eventually.

How about the SFBags Nexus 10 Smart Case? It looks to be right up your alley.

The Nexus 7 case was well reviewed. I'd like a quality case too, but $100+ makes me think twice considering the life of gadgets.
Thanks for the heads up. Looks like it's pre order now and becoming available at the end of the month.

Here is the sfbags.com sleeve with optional pocket for the Nexus 10. Ordered it Friday morning and paid for the FedEx ground delivery and was upgraded to the priority delivery for free and received it Monday morning. This thing is nicely made and it was exactly what I was looking for, tablet goes in snug and has 3 anchors to help to you insert it and remove it from the sleeve. The mesh pocket is a extra feature and I use it to carry my freedompop hotspot and a stylus pen. I am hoping that when the oem cover is release, it will fit without a problem but its a very snug fit.
Only thing I would change would be added a cord at the end to fully enclose the device inside. I paid $32 shipped to me.

I've actually been looking at this case since it appears that the nexus 10 is pretty similar in size to the note 10.1, and this case seems to offer good protection.

Anyone know anything about it or have any opinions?
EDIT: On closer inspection it seems the nexus 10 is too wide. Odd, I thought there was a different version of the case for bigger tablets but I can't seem to find it.

I just received an Ultimate Sleeve case from SFBags for my Nexus 10. This is one nice sleeve. It's very sturdy, well-made, and fits the Nexus 10 perfectly. I bought it to protect the tablet while traveling and I think this sleeve will do a far better job than the Case Logic case I bought and returned. I don't care to test it, but the SFBags sleeve has thick padding and the plastic insert sewn into one side should prevent damage for anything short of a drop-kick. I definitely feel a lot better about throwing my Nexus 10 into a backpack or suitcase. It's not cheap but it's worth it if you're looking for quality protection.

SF Bags Slip Case
Received mine yesterday. It is $36 (shipping included) well spent. It fits tight and looks good.

I got the CitySlicker from SF Bags. It's really a quality sleeve/bag. :good: I imagine it will be too big for some, but it's great having space for headphones and a cleaning cloth with the tablet at all times. Also looks and feels high end.
For the price, I sure hope it fits whatever I end up replacing the Nexus 10 with down the road!

I second SF bags. I have their slip case and couldn't be happier.
