Hey,
I am always really good with my devices (never really drop em, never scratch em) and what I usually do on my phones is put on a simple silicone case on them and that keeps it safe from scuffs and stuff
Ive been looking around the internet, amazon, ebay, etc trying to find a simple black silicone case for the nexus 7.
I found this http://www.focalcase.com/google-nexus-7-cases-google-nexus-7-silicone-case-c-199_205.html but I'm not familiar with the site and id rather not buy from china (takes a long time)
I understand that these things usually take some time because they have to be molded from the device, etc but i was wondering if anyone has found a legit place on the internet (not some random website) selling these.
If not, i'll update this post when i do find a place and order from there.

From Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/KaysCase-X-Shape-Google-Tablet-Android/dp/B008GFHP5O/
Picture doesn't show cutouts for buttons or speakers, but the description says they're there. Maybe just contact them if you're interested and confirm that the appropriate cutouts are there. I have not purchased it, just offering it up as an option. Oh, and it's black, as requested.

hmm that case is TPU though. thats the only thing holding me back.
I prefer silicone over tpu
thanks though!! im sure someone else reading this will like that
I'm thinking of getting one of these 3 cases. Which one would you pick based on looks, design, functionality, etc? They are pretty similar.

Yeah I came across that thread before. While it's a nice looking case it may not protect against drops as the website mentions. Plus I prefer to shop Amazon since I have Prime and a gift card.

If that's the case, I think your best option is the cruzerlite, since both elago or ringke will give you worse protection against drops compared to the one I linked you above.
Good luck in finding the best case for you. I myself still buying cases here and there, havent found one that really I like best, good protection while maintaning super slim fit ... I know that it doesnt exist, lol, but finding one that close to that is so hard ... sigh
save your money. go with this

You can purchase on Amazon

Just purchased and received the Poetic Slimline case for the Nook HD. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-SLIMLI...804667&sr=8-2&keywords=nook+hd+7"+poetic+case
Currently the case is just $6.95 with free shipping. Current as of 2/13/2013
The case has has a plastic base that clips on over the body of the Nook HD. This helps to make the fit very snug while adding very little to the depth of the device. There are cut outs for the volume rocker, headphone jack and for the power button. The bottom of the case is left mostly open for access to the micro sdcard, proprietary port and the LED light hole. There are also two holes for the speakers on the back.
The plastic case is covered with a faux leather type material. This allows for a relatively tacky area so the device will not slip out of your hand. This material also covers the front of the device protecting the screen of the Nook HD. On the inside of the front cover is a soft velvet like material that is nice and soft preventing scratches on the screen. The front cover can also be tri-folded behind the device to act as a stand for the tablet. This occurs in landscape mode allowing for a decent angle to watch movies or other videos. It does not provide any support in the portrait mode though so it will not help with reading books.
The front cover clicks in to place with the back plastic via magnets. This helps to secure the cover so that it does not flop open. It also provides for a way to turn your Nook HD on and off when opening or closing the case. This is a great feature that will actually bypass the normal lock screen so that when you finish opening the case your device is on and ready to go. However, if you enable the password lock screen then you will still need to unlock and then type in your code.
This case comes with a 3 year warranty from Poetic which is very unusual for cases but is a great feature to have.
One con I found in this device after its arrival was that there were some threads coming out from between the two material types on the front cover of the case. This were easily clipped to make things look better but it does take away from the idea of the case being of top quality. My only other concern is how well the materials will hold up while using the front cover as a stand. If used very frequently it could lead to cracking of the front cover. However, I will only be able to tell that over time and not for the day that I have had the case so far.
So far I am very impressed with the Poetic Slimline case for the Nook HD. I recommend anyone looking for a nice slim case to pick one up.
4.5 out of 5 stars.

Looks really good. Thanks for the pics!
I liked the ceiling design and lighting
This looks great. Exactly what i have been looking for on HD+. this is avilable also for HD+ at $8.95.
Poetic likes to throw out introductory prices and then increase it once it gets popular, so i would order now it you want one, even if it is not available for another 1-2 weeks, for the prices may increase by then.

Better that than me in the picture.
Did i forgot mention you?!? I know why ... I just dont like any case on mob/tab and etc devices. Only acceptable are film skins which ones give a sense of the real item.
Questions: I had a Poetic portfolio case, had one dumb thing, pen holder on the back surface. Is there one on this? Also, I like to be able to stand it up in portrait mode for reading, but I think this one only stands in landscape, right?
Thanks

There is nothing on the back. So no worries there.
This case is not designed for portrait use. It might stand straight up in portrait but it won't be very stable and there is no way to change the angle.

Far and away the best commercial case I've had for a tablet flavored device. And half the cost of the nearest competitor in the
'decent case' catetory, and that one was for a 5" Samsung media player.
I get the impression that these are from a maker who also makes iPad cases and uses many of the same materials. The front has three
longitudinal strips of material - but the third is narrower than the first two. I'll compare it to a smart cover tomorrow - my memory is
that that cover has three bands of equal-breadth material on the front
The fit in the rear is good as delivered, but may start to loosen up over time, and doesn't have a cutout to match the grommet
in the corner. I may add a cutout (I have a grommet setter for fabric) and then use a shoelace or similar to fasten down the back
on that side. That could also get me a loop for a stylus, which would be useful to me. The fit across the front is a little too
long and a little too wide, which will annoy me over time or I may get used to it.
The cover activates the wake from sleep in CM10. The device sleeps itself after a minute by default, which is fine with me.
All in all, 8 out of 10.

I knew prices would go up. It is now $19 for hd+ and $17 for HD. Those who got in at intro price got themselves a great case (myself included). It is exactly what i have been loking for.

Glad I got it when I did then.
As long as you're OK with black, those are still at 8.95.

i think i got the last 8.95 one as after i ordered, the price jumped to 12.95. maybe it's back down now, haven't checked.
anyway after about a week of use, i like the case for the price but have some minor quibbles. the case is a bit creased/folded on the edges when it shipped, so it doesn't perfectly conform to the shape of the HD+. maybe over time it will smooth out.
the stand notch is not very solid and i've had it slip when i'm moving around, not sure if that's standard for case stands. also the "hand strap" is kind of hard to pull out, but i mostly use it in landscape mode so not a big deal.
like i said not a big deal especially for the price, but not a perfect case.

I think we're talking different covers here. I thnk your cover is the "Poetic slimbook", not the "Slimline". Still good to hear you views on it!

Thanks for the tip. Now $15 for the black HD+ one on Amazon. Still a decent price :cyclops:
Anyone has a hint how to order Poetic to a Europe country other than UK at a low price?
I can order at amazon.co.uk for 20GBP + 6GBP shipping (= 40 USD) which seems a bit high compared to 6 GBP price on UK Ebay (but from where I can't get it shipped to Slovenia).
hey all!!
i was searching for a cover for my n7!
there are a few things that a i want it to have, but i cant decide!!!!
see the second post and you'll know why am i confused?!
some of them look just like each other! what is the difference? which one should i choose? what can i do?
1. smart cover:
i heard that there are smart cover for n7, though i searched ebay and amazon, but couldn't find anything i wanted.
2. slim:
i use my n7 mounted in my car sometime, so it shouldn't be big and thick! else i think it wont fit in my dock anymore...
3. designed for n7:
i saw some cases which i could fit it in, but since they were not designed for n7, so they wouldn't have any space for speaker, or volume or etc.
4. stand:
not very important, but if it has the ability to work as a stand in different angles, it would be great
5. close able:
you now, have something to grip the edge of the tab so the cover wont open by itself.
6: ?!!
i dont want to put my tab in it , i want it to have grips to have my tap from edges, so i can remove my tab whenever i want!
if you have a case you like, can you please give me a link, so i can choose?
i am really sorry if this is not cool, but after a while this forum can be changed into "all you need to know about nexus7 covers" or i dont know, "nexus 7 covering thread" or sth like that. thanks.

hi, thanks you for your answer.
no its not a spam, i see a lot of models available, and i dont know which one to buy, i'm confused. i was wondering if people could help with a tiny review of their cases, like the above ones, so others can read them, and decide which one to buy, or at least help me choose!
hi again!
another question if anyone is willing to answer!
i found out a design , produced by a lot of brands.
for example, look at this link:
http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Slim-fit...8&qid=1389427748&sr=8-3&keywords=moko+nexus+7
i found the same design bu moko, poetic, easyacc, i-blason and etc.
which one is better?
and also when i looked at the images in poetic's official web site, the speakers cut, covered half of the devices speaker, but in amazon's pics, the cut is holes, on top of the speaker.
which one is it?!
Zerolemon
I got a battery from them. I hope they have a case for Nexus 7 as they have for Nexus 4.

Well, i bought one and received it. The quality is really poor compared to the vivo original black one. I wanted to match my blue phone. Wrong idea. I will keep my black ordinal vivo. Better coverage, better material.

The only problem is that you will not get the wireless charge anymore. With that metal piece on the back.
And i you read comment, you loose fingerprint unlock on front screen... Too much inconvenient for me.
I ordered the Vivo case with the phone. Quite happy with the protection and it doesn't add a lot of weight - the phone is already heavy enough!

this is what i got. i didn't like the front frame, so i removed it. it blocks the bezel. you see, there are functions nowadays (such as sideapp menu, back button) that require user's finger to hold the very tip of the screen for half a second before the menu popups. then again, without that frame you may damage your front screen if it falls. secondly, the stand in the back requires a hard surface in order to hold it stilll. then again, i wouldn't say this is a bad case overall. but it has its flaws. the rest i am satisfied. the material, the durability, it fits well and it covers the side well.
