I have one for my iPad and love the thing. I emailed INVELLOP and they said they are working on one for the nexus 7. It will be out in roughly a month.

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.
Another Option for a case

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
http://www.amazon.ca/Blurex-Ultra-G...YQ86/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1355674844&sr=8-3
Does anyone have any impressions of this case, or other cases by this company? Build quality? Thinness?
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.
I have a Poetic Hardback Case from amazon
It's nice for the price, but the hard plastic feels real cheap. I was googling cases and found this one.

One of the nicest cases I've ever seen, but there is no way im paying $112 for it lol. So does anyone know any good looking real leather cases like the one I posted above?

There are two different versions of the case, and on expan they only have one picture of it.
Version 1 is like an iPad smart cover where it folds up in the back for it to stand up. Version 2 is like my poetic hardback case where you put the tablet into the "indents." I hate covers where you have to fold it up in the back to stand it up, so I'm going to email expansys and ask which one it is. It seems like it's version 1, the fold up one.

Any chance you have any pictures of the case? I just ordered one of these. If it's as good as advertised, I think it'll get the job done.
I second the Noreve suggestion. I have one for my N7 and I love it. Here's their case for the N10 : http://www.noreve.com/langue/en/product/Samsung_Google_Nexus_10_Tradition_leather_case.html
Free shipping anywhere in the world, too.

My wife got me this one for xmas http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Goog...d=1357244965&sr=1-2&keywords=iblason+nexus+10 I like it.
It looks like exactly what you are looking for, costs $18.00 and smells like leather to me. The only fault I can find is that there is no opening on the bottom for the POGO charger, whenever that is available, so you have to open the case to be able to use it. But for $18.00 and Amazon (who are excellent on returns if you don't like it) it's hard to go wrong.
I picked up one from Bear Motion on Amazon. It's much nicer than you'd think considering the price. They make a brown one too. Magnetic seal and auto-sleep/wake. After using it a few days, it has softened up a bit and feels even nicer.
Search 'Bear Motion Genuine Cowhide nexus 10' on Amazon. I don't have enough posts to put any links in yet.
Additionally, I bought a clear screen protector and carbon fiber 'style' protector for the sides and back from Skinomi. (Their website is cheaper than Amazon and used a promo code 'skinomi25' for 25% off.) I am not usually good at installing such things but it turned out pretty well.

I was looking at the bear case..are the top parts of the speakers covered by that case? I currently have the poetic dura case and sadly the only part of the speaker that is covered is the part where the speaker actually is :-/.

I ordered a Bear Motion from Amazon. It arrived today but was a mistake. The one I received was clearly for another, smaller tablet. Anyway if the one for the Nexus 10 is the same material I wouldn't like it. If it is real leather it fooled me. It is very pleather-like. I now have my eye on much more expensive leather cases like the ones that people are selling on Etsy or Nor eve.

Can not post a link yet, will try later.
I would say the top of the speaker is covered about .5” or less. I haven't noticed any issues with sound. It is actually leather, though it's really stiff at first. The inside has some sort of soft/fuzzy cloth lining. I'm pretty happy with mine so far. I used a skinomi wrap/screen cover too for extra peace of mind.

I ordered one a few days ago. When it gets here I will let you know, but black is the only color they keep in stock. Everything else is made-to-order. I got a brown one, so it might be a few weeks.
One think to keep in mind is the Noreve site includes VAT in the prices. If you create an account, it will update the price to exclude VAT (as long as you live somewhere that doest do VAT). They also ship free. Still pretty expensive though. It was around $92 for mine.
One thing that is pretty cool is they link to third party reviews of their product and they are organized by device, case color, and language. At least one of them is a video review of a case for the Nexus 7. I didn't see any reviews for a Nexus 10 case, but the other reviews give you a pretty good idea of the quality.

Update on the Bear Motion case, still a great case overall especially for what I paid, but I have noticed a flaw. The cutout for the POGO port has no stitching between the leather outer material and the interior lining. The adhesive has broken down a little and the lining is just a tiny bit loose around the opening. I intend to fix this myself with a needle, some black thread and about 5 minutes. This does have the potential to happen on the edges of the leather areas that do not have stitching though.
It should be noted the area with this issue flexes A LOT though. I'll post a picture later. It is very minor and I'd still buy this case again, but the manufacturer could easily prevent this with an extra couple inches of stitching.

I received my Noreve case yesterday, so it took a little over three weeks to get to me (it is faster if you pick a black color). It is clearly much higher quality than the Bear Motion case I tried previously and better anything else I have seen on Amazon.
That does not mean I don't have any complaints. Mind you, these are pretty minor but they are complaints nonetheless.
Firstly, they have some sort of thin layer of open cell foam under the front cover. Yesterday when you pressed a bit on the front cover, you could feel and hear the foam compressing. Today, after having it in my messenger bag, that sounds seems to have worked itself out. I much prefer the feel of the back, which seems to be leather right on top of plastic. The inside front cover has some sort of rubber or gel padding and I like that too, but I am not sure the inside front cover is leather. I don't think it is. I guess they are going for a soft, cushy feel on the front.
Secondly, the clasp is slightly annoying. Someone asked how firm it was and I will say it is pretty firm. It definitely stays closed and I have no complaints about how well it functions, but the problem is the clasp on the front cover prevents the device from laying flat when the cover is folded back because the clasp points down.
The last complaint I have is the process of converting it to stand mode. You have to pop the tablet out of the bottom of the case to stand it up. This isn't an easy or quick task because the case grips the tablet pretty tight.
Despite my complaining you just read, I actually really do like the case. It is definitely quality made with quality materials.

I just got my Nexus 10 today. I love it! I'm scared to take it anywhere with me though, since I do not have a case. I've seen several people recommend the MoKo slim. I like it, and it looks nice, but I don't want black. I really like the navy blue cover. Does anyone have any dealings with getting a colored cover from them?
I do not but the poetic slimline is great and comes in many colors.

I'm a bit confused. Why would a case that comes in a different color perform any differently then one that is black? Do different colors provide additional protection, or make the case slimmer?

You're right, but if you check on amazon, select the orange one, and it looks pretty different. I think he means if the colour is ok and etc, not that the case performs different.
Mainly just shipping times. And the colored cases are different from the black case. The colored cases have Moko on the cover, and the black one only has it on the metal tab. I saw poetic black shipped later than colored ones, so I was just wanting to see.

That's not true. I've got the black one and it has moko on te cover, as you can see on the video.
I can't answer your question regarding color as my MoKo case is black (got it because it was eligible for Amazon Prime shipping). What I can tell you, however, is that you need to stay far away from the Poetic Slimline. It's an absolute piece of crap.

You're right. I remember seeing your video, but when I looked on Amazon, the black case doesn't have Moko written on the from. I've already ordered the Indigo one though. Now just waiting on it to get in!

For what it's still worth, I got the indigo case too.
It's pretty much just navy blue. No purplish tint at all. The "Moko" is on the metal tab, not anywhere else.

2 quick questions:
1. The moku's metal tab looks like it might actually touch the screen when the cover is closed. If that is the case isn't there potential to scratch the glass? I'm worried it might do so in a backpack where it could get very compressed.
2. Once the tablet is secured in the shell how much potential is there for it to fall out? I many times put something like a paperweight on the cover and allow the tablet to swing freely as it hangs off of something like a shelf. I'm wondering if the shell holds it in tight enough so you wouldn't have to worry about it slipping out when doing so?

Folks,
If you just picked up a Nook HD or Nook HD+ for the Mothers Day Sale, your local Staples B&M store (USA only) has the Nook HD accessories on clearance. I picked up the OEM charging kit (wall charger with charging cable - http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/pow...26257001?ean=9780594481904&isbn=9780594481904) for $5 and also got a nice case (Groovy Stand in Storm HD+ - http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/groovy-stand-in-storm-hd/26210964?ean=9780594545798) for $5. As usual YMMV as Staples is clearing out all Nook related stuff.
Sweet! I'll have to go check it out. Sounds great, thanks for the tip.

I have a couple of staples close by - nothing at either one. Thanks for your guides by the way, running 10.1 through a Samsung SD card right now. Really like this device.
edit on that Samsung card
I tried a couple of them, initially each worked but eventually would not boot CWM. Can not post this in the thread on the working cards, don't have 10 posts yet here.
Went to staples in valparaiso indiana. They still had a few cases and a couple chargers. Barnes and nobles has their cases for 25. Found a great rotating case that has plastic feet instead of grooves. In portrait and landscape mode the tablet is very sturdy. Only 1 position butvery good. Great folio design I hadn't seen before.
Thanks for the tip. Staples near me had three $5 Power Kits and a $14 folio case. Passed on the case, but I bought all 3 Power Kits. Last weekend at B&N I bought one for $15, I need to drop by the store soon to resolve another issue so I'll return that for a credit. Three for one, not bad.
If anyone wants a case, let me know. I found a bunch of em at a Staples by me at work.

Pretty cheap. Good luck finding them though.
The official case is the best IMO. Powers the screen on/off when you open/close the cover. I have 3 HD & 2 HD+ cases. Normally $40/$45 respectively.
Picked up the Groovy cases in Black for $4 each and the stock Nook chargers for the HD+ for $2 each. Quite the bargain

I have the Poetic case bought from Amazon for $6. It has the same smart cover feature as you described. I did check my local staples but they didn't have any Nook accessories in stock. So this is definitely YMMV...
anyone able to compare the slimline poetic to the groovy case? I bought the poetic, but I'm liking how the groovy looks in the pictures.
Thanks to the info on Staples closing out their nook stuff, I found a fine MEdge Incline 360 case for the Nook HD there and it rang up at $5. Its a combination case and stand. Dark purple leather with suede-like interior. Its not perfect because it uses elasticized straps around the corners (that make using the power and volume buttons difficult) but its still pretty great.

I got a Poetic case too, but $9.95 delivered. It is black with gray interior and hand strap to hold. Secures around the corners and has two grooves to set the device. Was going to get the 360 case, but read where the portrait mode is not stable, so falls down. Same problem with my iPad 4 and went back to a similar case like the Poetic for that as well.
Nice that the wake function works by default with CM 10.1. Magnet must be strong, since the display goes off when still almost three inches away from closing.
I got a Nook HD+ Groovy Stand in Storm from my nearby Staples in Miami for $ 4.00, could not find the charger.
I wonder if its too late to go looking. Just got my Nook HD+ a few days ago but all the posts by people on xda and slickdeals about nabbing the clearance accessories are like a month old.
