Portenzo, a premium case manufacturer, just released their cases for the Nexus 10 today. I have the BookCase for my Nexus 7 and love it. I'll probably be ordering one for my 10 soon. http://shop.portenzo.com/nexus-10/
Oh ho.... So tempting. Just concerned about the lack of a Pogo opening... How hard is it to insert/remove? Would it hold its grip after being removed/inserted many times over?

Good News
Finally a quality case for the Nexus 10...I'm tired of the cheap stuff on Amazon..:victory:
Cases on Amazon are cheap but they work. How can anyone justify paying $110 for a case? I'd rather buy a Moko case for $6 and invest the remaining $104 on my next toy.

Agreed, I think that's ridiculous and they don't even look that great. That's just an opinion though
I've been waiting for either this or the never-will-be-released-by-google case that you see in the official videos. I can't justify spending over a hundred dollars, but I'll definitely be getting the standard book case.
I was reading that Google is looking to open some retail stores.... Given the fact that they release next to no accessories for their Nexus products, I'm trying to figure out how these stores won't be barren wastelands with just a few phones and tablets on display.
Looks nice but I can't even imagine how uncomfortable it is

I 100% agree with you. I use the Moko ultra slim (currently $5.99 on Amazon) and it's fantastic. To each his own I guess.
I am certainly considering getting the leather case for it.
I am more wondering if the next Nexus 10 will have similar dimensions that I can just reuse this case for.
What do you guys think the odds are that google will change the dimensions of their next 10.1 device or two?
This case has the gel inside the corners to hold the tablet in place, I would venture you could put something smaller in there and the gel would still allow for a relatively snug fit.
Good lord. More than a hundred for a case? I bought my used 32gb nexus 7 for 175. I got two Moko cases for 12 bucks.

That thing is an inch thick. Why? Might as well carry a leather binder and just throw the tablet in there. Then you at least have some business cards, a pen, etc.

The tablet sits in a wood base, that's probably why it is so thick.

I sooooo want one, but I configured it up past $180!
I purchased one yesterday. Decided to get the bookcase over the leather one.
The leather looked amazing, but I felt I would get more bang for my buck with the bookcase.
At first I thought the bookcase was made of the fake pleather that most other cases has, but really, its meant to be built just like a hardcover book which is pretty cool.
When I get it I will let you guys know what I think.
I look at it this way. Just to get an opening for the camera costs the same as my perfectly functional poetic slimline....
.....I'll pass
Just got mine today...VERY nice case...it is the quality I was looking for in a case. The Nexus fits snugly with no problems and all the buttons and ports are accessible. If you can get passed the price you won't be disappointed...

Agreed. Looks like something for an old Nokia.
Sorry guys, but is it just me or does everyone in this forum have horrible taste? Every case I see is uglier than the next. This is no exception. Why would you want to add so much bulk? The leather and details look cheap.

So you would prefer one that seems to be all plastic?

I would prefer one like the ipad covers. A simple, classy flap across the screen to protect it from the contents of my backpack, briefcase, laptop bag, or pocket. The brushed aluminum sides and plastic-rubber back don't need anything and look premium on their own. Bonus points if it can be rolled up into a stand like the ipad covers.
I'd prefer a good quality plastic case over the PU 'leather' ones. Though there's a thin amount of split hide sandwiched in there somewhere, the textured polyurethane outer coating doesn't look or feel like real leather to me. I think it turns a nice looking device into something that looks chunky and ugly. Also, the PU covers won't wear like leather (which looks better over time). Instead they are likely to delaminate, have the coating flake off, and look crappy.
+1000, those cases that completely cover it in fuax leather. yuk...
I'm waiting for the Asus case because nothing beats OEM. I think my beautiful Nexus 7 deserves something that enchances its looks and not ruins it. I wouldn't mind a leather or faux leather Asus built case either. I think in the time to come we will be seen a lot of accessories everywhere for our device. Don't rush and buy junk.
Both the black leather Apple smart Cover and the Blackberry Playbook Convertible cases are superb IMO.

I actually owned the Playbook and the Convertible case from Blackberry. It was an awesome case and very well made. That's the reason why I prefer OEM. It's always better.
How are you guys protecting your screen during transportation if you don't have a cover. I agree with the comments about all the ugly cases...wow.

I had one of these on a work iPad as well, really liked the case...really hated the iPad. I have the stock N7 case but I think this would be better.
Interesting. Looks great. Does the cover fold back properly? I ordered a Poetic smart case similar to this and fearing it won't lay flat when folded back.

Oh it works perfect. I just love the case. I will keep y'all informed if they contact me again about it.

Looks awesome! This is exactly the sort of case I'm looking for. I like the fact that the stock case fits the look and feel of the tablet, but it didn't seem to fold back properly, and I'd rather buy a case that has built in magnetic functionality.
Do you know if they ship to Australia? Every case I've found so far that fits my wants (unobtrusive, doesn't cover the bezel, looks decent, has magnets) can't be shipped to Australia.

this probably would have been the case i got if it had come out with the nexus. i've already ordered 3 other cases so gonna have to skip this one.
What ever happened to this case? I've been holding off on buying a case until this one came out but I'm starting to think I may have to look elsewhere.

I was looking for an invellop case too and found this one instead for my Nexus 7. It's the Poetic Slimline case. Only 1.7 cm thick. It's really sharp looking with a magnetic opening too.
Just search for it on Amazon: Poetic SLIMLINE Portfolio Case for Google Nexus 7
I really need help with this. There's so many cases on Amazon, but I don't know which one is good.
It has to be around the $10 price range, it can be a little over or under. Under preferred.

I am quite happy with this case. Don't get me wrong, it is the same case, sold by various companies from the same Chinese manufacturer, but it is very light, thin, and looks quite good. Can't be beat for the money. I liked so much, that I ordered the same basic case for both my Nexus 7 and my Galaxy Note 10.1
It adds very little heft to the tablet, and holds the tablet very securely

It's a simple case, doesn't obstruct anything. It has 2 levels of stand and I would recommend it if you think you are going to drop and scratch your brand new N10 like I did...
Awesome. I ordered one yesterday with one day shipping. Need it for travelling this Christmas.
Mine doesn't seem to grip the tablet on the two bottom holders.
Anyone else ? A little hard to get on too.
Anyone able to post a video review? Please and thanks!

This looks just like the Poetic case that I got.
If my case didn't actually have "Poetic" branded into the case, I'd think it was all the same company with 1 item under different names.
I have it. Its perfect.. None of the ports (including pogo) are blocked. Does not add any bulk. Has a convenient strap into which you can slide your palm when case is open, allowing single handed operation. Wake/sleep works as advertised. Very easy to convert into stand

Thanks for the feedback on this. Ordered one today.

I bought itand it makes the tablet that much better, the tablet does slip out if the grooves a little but it hasnt bothered me at all. I just put it back in without even thinking about it. the material feels good in my hands too. Does a great job protecting the tab.
Owned this case for my OG Transformer, got it again for my Transformer Pad, and am buying it again for my new Nexus 10. Love this case.
So Seidio said they have come to a decision on the Nexus 10. They will not be making a case for it. :crying:
What now? Gumdrop haven't brought one out. I don't know if they are considering it. Otterbox don't have one either (I hate them anyway). And the poetic revolution looks cheap & nasty. The BobJ one isn't from a tried & tested company so makes me nervous. What are other rugged case fans doing with their tablets?
I'm at a loss too and frankly it kinda pisses me off. My wife is pissed I sold her ipad 1 because it was slow and the browser crashed all the time, just to get a nexus that is buggy as **** and crashes all the time, like frequent full on crashes. To top it off, there's no such thing as a decent case for it and probably won't be for a long time. I had a sweet otterbox for the ipad, why the **** does the world have to revolve around damn apple products. Why are there 500 awesome cases in 500 colors available 5 months before a new ipad is even announced.
And why the **** does Google have such a buggy ass flagship device.
Fix this buggy PoS and give me a damn rugged case already. A quality one. Not another one of these damn flippy magnet cheap flimsy cases that are all copies of each other.

I'm kinda Pi&&ed too!! I figured that Google would have accessories available for their Flagship device. We get NO LOVE from the manufacturers like the freaking iPad does!!! Only cheap crappy covers for a device that is suppose to be cutting edge. I just bought a Noreve cover and it's nice, but it's the only cover I have found that is nice, there are no other choices that are as high a quality. I will certainly think twice before purchasing my next device from Google, not to mention the other "glitches"...

Sorry - missed that. A shame that one isn't coming out from Otterbox or Seido. I've got the extended convert combo on my GNex now -- fantastic -- and I could easily see me using something like that on my N10. Still haven't settled on a case myself yet. Still using a neoprene slip case I picked up on day one from Five Below (as you can imagine, it cost me $5). Protects the N10 fairly well when I'm carrying it or not using it, but it's clearly a temporary measure. Really not excited by any of the case options out there -- only one that looks appealing to me is the Noreve Tradition, but I'm not about to spend $110 on a tablet case. Ah well...the search continues.
After the terrible quality of the Poetic Slimcase I will not get another poetic case. Very rarely have I seen a case that does damage to the device its trying to protect.

That's a shame -- I like the overall design of the case, but hesitate to order it based on those reports and the comments that it's SO tight. Disappointing too, in that my son has the same model case on his Nexus 7, and it's excellent: perfect fit - not too tight or loose, no damage to the tablet, very convenient, nicely finished. My son tends to be pretty hard on his belongings (6'4" teenager), uses the tablet several times a day, and the case is holding up beautifully so far. If I thought the experience would be the same for the Nexus 10, I'd order one now.

It really is. I freaked out when I saw the display sticking up in the right corner and had memories of the nexus 7 screen lift issue. Took it off and pressed the screen back in. I'm using the origami roocase now which is much better.

I wish stores like Staples and Walmart would stock some of these cases so we could actually see them close up and try them - and return them immediately if necessary without having to ship back and forth. It was great to get my N10 locally from Walmart, and I'd love to be able to do that with accessories too.

The Poetic Revolution case may LOOK cheap and nasty, but it is certainly not. I own it, and have used it every single day for three months. I'm also Active Duty, so trust me when I tell you it gets plenty of use...far beyond what it was originally designed to handle, I'm sure. Now, Its no Seidio Active case but it sure aint bad for $20. The ONLY bad things I can say about it is that it comes with a built-in heavy duty screen protector that is just garbage, and it bulks up the tablet a bit (which i actually like) Thankfully however, the cheesy screen protector punches out very easily. Get an ArmorSuit Military Shield screen protector to go with it and be done with it.
Bright side is you're only out $30 or so until somebody makes a better case. How much to replace that big 10.1 inch screen if you drop it without the $30 case?
