I'm not sure if you guys are familiar with the brand Yoobao, but the make really good cases for the iPads (yes, I know, an Apple product. blah blah blah). My GF currently has it on her iPad2 and the fit is awesome.

Anywho, I was wondering if anybody ran into a similar case like that of the Yoobao for the Nexus 7??
I've seen the YooMee, and frankly its not what I'm really looking for.

Don't see anything for the Nexus 7, only stuff for the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
they make cases for the Galaxy Tab 7.0 which has similar dimensions. I wonder if it would fit...
Yea, but Belkin is way overpriced and their products are crap
Finally got an email from YooBao. Be on the lookout for next month, they make really good cases and the fit is phenomenal.
Dear XXXXX,
Nice days!

Funny I just replaced my 10 year old belkin 54 g wifi router not because it didn't work anymore, but because I now have a roommate and want more bandwidth for the home network. Guess 10 years of solid reliable service is crap, huh?

The case is displayed on their wbdsite. Looks like smaller version of the good Ipad case.
Had a yoobao case on my sensation. The case is actually flame resistant and honestly had a great fit and look.
Looks like the case is out:
http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...Case-for-google-nexus-7stand-wholesalers.html
$30 with free shipping. A much better deal than the Official case for the same price.
also available on eBay for $5-10 more.
Has anyone used Aliexpress or Alibaba? I think they're mostly direct to retailer/wholesaler shop out of China.

oh, and does anyone know if these will have the velcro strip on the inside to keep the flap that holds the tab in place from slipping out? I LOVED the Yoobao case for my iPad, except for the lack of this feature.
I looked a lot before I settled on the Yoobao case for my iPad and haven't seen a nicer case. Their N7 case looks like the same design which is great. The only thing about my iPad case is that it is a version 3 meaning it took 3 tries before they ironed out the issues. Version 3 of the iPad case corrected some issues with the smart on features as we'll as add magnets to hold the front flap in place.
I suspect that this N7 cover may not have the smart on/off feature yet and if they follow foot steps of the iPad they will probably produce a v.2 in short time with the smart on/off. At $30 plus, I'd wait til they produce one with the smart feature.

It's actually $30 with free shipping, so just flat $30. I think it's a much better deal than the official case which costs the same (if you add shipping).
I'm actually assuming that they've incorporated all the things that they learned from the various versions of the other cases and implemented them into the first version of their newer cases. I know that my Yoobao ipad case had the smart on/off but not the magnet to keep it closed. It didn't fling open though. The one feature it lacked was the thin velcro strip to keep the flap that kept the ipad in the case from slipping so it constantly needed readjusting. Did yours have this?
I just ordered one of these from mobile fun.co.uk
amazing case brilliant quality here it is its out and in stock but be quick they sell very very fast

My Version 3 Yoobao iPad case did not have the velcro to hold down the flap, however, I never found the iPad moved around and needing adjustment.
Your assumption about Yoobao incorporating all the things they learned from other cases for the N7 case is sort of right. They actually already have a Revision 2 case for the N7 with a "fixed Sleep/Wake" and Magnetic Closure.
The review from mobile fun.co.uk seems to indicate the case puts the tablet asleep when folded all the way over. Waiting for reviews from here before I take the plunge.
I've just ordered this from the kevikev ebay store. It's cheaper to do that with shipping than to order here in UK. Here's hoping the version 2 has the magnet issue resolved. The case looks very nice.

I quite like the Carbon fiber lol. Has a premium feel to it and the stand is very sturdy thanks to the support on the back. Have the white to match my S3 (Not my S2 in the background, that's my colleagues')
I've had this case for a couple of days and it's a bargain for the price, feels solid, the lock/sleep function works well and the N7 fits snugly inside, I have a few niggles such as the stand doesn't work very well in vertical orientation (may just require some more breaking in of the pleather), and the velcro strap that holds the N7 in place causes the case to bulge a little on one side. But I'm not sure you can really expect perfection from something in this price range, the free stylus/pen is a nice addition too.
Just ordered one myself today.

Hiya i also purchased the ghub pro pop carbon fibre case (in black not white) which was great but i love the pen and would have happily just paid the 10 pounds for the pen. Im forever using my tablet even when I'm eating so the beauty of this pen for me is that i can use the tablet without getting the screen dirty. Im guessing they must of sent you a wrong one in error
I need to find some a couple more of these i know I'm going to lose the one i got free with the case. Hopefully they will sell it separately as well i have emailed the seller GHUB
also brought a bluetooth speaker called sw50 from the same seller as well to stream the music from this device and also from my s3 phone @19.99. check it out its louder than my bedroom hi fi
anyway just signed on to thank whoever started this thread as he lead me to the right case which also arrived in less than 24 hours as well
thanks

"The smaller tablet is not as good at content creation as its larger siblings, but for those curious about external keyboards I found one that works with the Nexus 7. The Logitech Keyboard Case for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 pairs and works with the Nexus 7, even the special tablet control keys. The Nexus 7 doesn't fit in the stand, though, so it's an iffy pair at best."
I just actually received this keyboard today. It's very high quality, sturdy and typed very quickly when I paired it with my HTV Evo 4G LTE. Unfortunately, my nexus is RMA-ing right now so I'm not able to try it with that. I stuck my old kindle keyboard (about the same size as the nexus 7) in the built-in stand just to see how it fits and it stood fine, however I'm concerned that the nexus 7 might be too thick.
However, if you use this and a decent folio case from amazon, it is BY FAR the cheapest and probably best option I've seen.

only 15 bucks, i ordered a couple. i have Nexus 7, wife has an HTC Flyer.
even if the stand doesn't work, it looks like a good emergency keyboard for the times when we have to do work but don't have a laptop handy.

The link is accurate. Scroll to the bottom of the review. He talks about this specific keyboard's (which is actually a case/keyboard designed for the Galaxy Tab 10.1) built-in stand not fitting the Nexus 7. I'm confused as to where you are confused.
Nice find!
Ordered me one, at that price why not its Logitech and most of their stuff is good.

I have about 38 minutes left to pull the trigger. Im not sure what to do. If it doesnt work then im stuck with another piece of tech laying around and the lady will not be happy. On the other hand, I could probably just resell it and make the 15 bucks back and then some.

The onesaleaday.com item is a keyboard stand but it doubles as a "case" where you can "lock" your galaxy tab 10.1 onto the recessed keyboard. The Nexus 7 will not fit that way obviously but Im thinking it will fit in the 'stand' part of it.
EDIT: Galaxy Tab 10.1 Thickness is .33" - Nexus 7 Thickness is .41". Probably will not fit. A couple of mm makes a big difference
If nothing else, its still a cheap bluetooth keyboard solution
I just got mine today in the mail and I'm using it right now to type this and its pretty good, feels well built and connected with no problem. The Nexus doe not fit in the stand to hold it up, its too thick, but I knew that before I bought it, for the price it seems to be worth it 15$ shipped and it has shortcuts to different programs like email and Google Now and can control the volume. I'm happy with it!

I'm looking to get a keyboard for my Nexus 7 to use in my classes. The Logitech Android Keyboard is at the top of my list, but it's slightly more expensive and heavier than others out there. Also, the Motorola Android Keyboard is on sale for $22 today, but doesn't come with a case and may or may not work with the Nexus 7/Jelly Bean. Anyone have any good suggestions or experiences with a keyboard?
I just use an extra mac wireless keyboard that I have... Not the most elegant solution but I like the key board

I have the motorola and it works really good. Its got some android hotkeys that the other bluetooth keyboards dont have. However the following don't work on JellyBean (or the nexus 7 in particular):
- the messenger hotkey (obviously)
- the browser hotkey
- the menu hotkey (this kinda irritates me. Maybe it depends on the app)
I have the Logitech Android keyboard and it's great! You can get it on Ebay for around $30

Its too big and then you must carry two discrete pieces. That's a nonstarter for many. I require an integrated keyboard / case solution.
FWIW, I purchased one such product at Amazon today: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009S...175-7600503-0167501?ref_=cm_cr_pr_product_top
It seems to be a bit thinner than the also cool kybd / case folios like benchmark9 shared. Doesn't have a tab key but I can emulate it with External Keyboard Helper Pro.
Hoping for some better products like these from Zagg, Logitech, or even Google. MS Surface has some great keyboard cases eh...
Im still thinking about getting a N7, and if i do, i will want a keyboard. I really like what ive seen about the Logitech one, but im wondering if theres any fixes to make all the shortcut keys to work or if Logitech will ever update it....

I'm a huge fan of the Poetic Keybook.
I know that a lot has been written to the contrary, but I'm a huge fan. It took a little getting used to, but once I got it down, the keyboard is excellent. I cant do the separate keyboard simply for the fact that I would need to carry it in a bag or something.
The poetic keybook solved this issue, as it is an all in one case/keyboard with removable keyboard if need be.

Nexus 7 .It will protect the front screen and the typing also so easy. Hope my recommendation helps.
I bet its made of plastic. Same keyboard at brando.com for 30$ and they coreected aluminium by plastic. Ebay is offering from 22$ shipped from HK.
I have looked at the keyboards (from the posted links) and some on amazon. i really like the ones where the keyboard and nexus 7 fit into one nice/small case:
http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bluetooth-Keyboard-Google-Tablet/dp/B00A23LEPA/ref=cm_cr_dp_asin_lnk
but the keyboard seem SOOO small. what do you guys think? What you go with something like above or one of the large leather cases with a bigger keyboard?
thank you in advance for any input you can provide.
Thats the price tag ... small case houses small keyboard. And I have to correct me, even on Amazon below 20 bucks ...

At least we can get the Poetic case from Amazon for 5 bucks. It's not too shabby.

Lol. Yeah. I was kinda wanting to go with the Groovy (in blue).. like having the option to use it as a stand for video and reading on breaks. Guess I'll have to check out some of the Amazon ones. Only thing I noticed on most of those is they all seem to have that frame around the sides of the screen.. not sure if I'd like that. Does the auto sleep thing work ok with those? (I currently just have a sleeve I keep mine in that slides into a pocket in my shoulder bag, but I think a case/cover might be better.. less parts to have to deal with. Lol)

The cheap Poetic case can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-StrapBack-Protective-Function-Manufacturer/dp/B00AAKLDN8.
I hate cases that cover the bezel. This one fits the bill, has the magnetic on/off, and does well as a stand. (side rant: I never understood manufacturers who place the inside surface of a cover on a table when in stand mode. Great way to pick up all sorts of debris and possible scratches. This one doesn't do that, thankfully.)
I'm happy with it. Looks sleek when closed. One potential caveat : it will have that new car smell for a week or so. Didn't bother me, but may some. I would have been happy with this case for 4x the price.
By the way - While I highly recommend this for the HD+, I just as highly don't recommend it for the HD. Given the way the HD is made, it will have possible problems.

Ahh OK. Hadn't really noticed that one for some reason. I had been looking at these: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimline-Portfolio-Manufacturer-Warranty/dp/B00B20N9XW Which, as you you mentioned have you putting at least part of the inside cover against the table. While the only time I'll probably be using the stand feature is at work.. those break room tables can definitely be nasty at times.
Actually now that I look at it, I remember why I'd skipped over this one, there seemed to be several complaints on Amazon of this cover damaging people's Nooks??
The Nook HD version can damage your device. The HD+ one is fine.

Really disappointed in the Lautner case. Adds a lot of bulk and not anywhere near as light as I expected. Luckily it was only £5,the original £35 is daylight robbery.
Thanks for the heads up, picked up two USB cables and chargers for less than the price of one (planned to get one anyway and handy having a spare).
they don't ship oversea (from B&N-UK-website to France/Belgium/Netherlands...)
They do from B&N-US-website, but the prices are higher and the shipment cost also (which is logical: US -> EU)
I've just ordered a Nook HD+, to start reading/try annotating texts on a tablet, thanks to their current low prices (I had to look for a place shipping overseas). It's a pitty I can't do the same with the accessories. Well, I'll have to look further for those. Or maybe see if no one I know is going to the UK anytime soon

Aaaand then there was one. Thanks for spotting that @adam_ky ! Sure beats the $32 "clearance" one I found at Wal-Mart. Lol
I'd been watching eBay and Amazon hoping for just such a find but since eBay's search ignores the "+" I found myself using 9 in the search terms to narrow it down.. this one flew right under the radar. Had $18 in my PayPal account from Ebates so this one will be free!

I'm liking it a lot actually. Works good, not a ton of options for angles, but you only really need two anyway, ya know? I love the auto sleep/wake feature too.. the cover keeps it from coming on in my backback and draining the battery down. And it looks very nice, not cheap and plasticy.
eBay is definitely my first stop, then Amazon, then from there I go poking around the different sites .. but I'd say 99% of my online purchases are either from eBay or Amazon.
Why UK only?
Can someone buy me some things and ship them to Germany?
