The new Asus cases! Sorry if it was posted already.
I see it had already been posted in another thread.
Oh well, at least lazy people (like me) will be able to find the thread in a flash. loll
Man that pink one is bright!
I must say I like that blue though.
these look nice. Liking the blue and the orange...
Question is ... when do they get released? and where do we order them?

Blue looks awesome, i want it
yup! I agree. Blue looks mad awesome. That's what I plan on ordering.
For now, there's no word on them. But I'm guessing they'd be out by the end of July, sold by Asus on the website. If I find any news, I'll make sure to keep you guys posted.
What are they made of? Hard to tell in that picture. Anyone know?

Fake leather? Rubber?
Doesnt look like hard plastic
Maybe it will be made of Corinthian Leather ? lol , all joking asside would love to see them for sale soon so I can get the blue and orange one.
I'm pretty sure they're rubber. All I know is I'm getting one.
it looks very similar to the HP Touchpad's case (the easel one). If so, I'm stoked and can't wait to get one
I like the idea of some kind of leather pouch but I am tempted to get one of these for a change (my phone is in a pouch)
case details
from Asus' site:
"For users who seek additional protection, Nexus 7 has an optional protective smart cover. The smart cover is a tough, yet snug-fitting polymer case with a non-slip matte texture that protects Nexus 7 from bumps and scratches, and also provides additional grip"
Now just need to wait for them to release it in the UK.

I loved the hell out of your Evo View ROM! Glad to see you on the N7 bandwagon.
As for the case, I'm in for two...shame there's no green though.
I'd love to have one in purple...

...does anyone see anything "smart" about this cover? No auto on/off, multi-configuration stand capabilities... what? It looks like a nice cover, but why the heck does it deserve to be called a smart cover?!

Maybe they're using this definition of smart:
a : neat, trim <soldiers in smart uniforms>
b : stylish or elegant in dress or appearance
c (1) : appealing to sophisticated tastes (2) : characteristic of or patronized by fashionable society

I like this guy. Deadmau5 pic and demanding genuine leather! I'm hoping for a case from these guys: http://www.vajacases.com/ - Got one for my PlayBook last year and it's awesome.
Shame they got shipped and delivered to the UK first yet there are very few accessories released here yet. Will be a while until we have a genuine leather case with the 'smart' magnetic bit.
that case has been on sale for years. it's so ugly. Giant leather bondage strap holding down your nexus 7? ugly.
I picked up a leather smart case similar to this one at Big Lots for $8.00. High quality material ! They have lots of 7" case options there for a budget price......scrarch resistant screen protectors , stylus pens , bluetooth speakers etc....
BigLots. com serach the left hand side by ELECTRONICS to see their tablet stuff.
I say patience is a virtue. We all know the tablet for what it is. You either like it or you don't. Most of us have already pre--ordered and are waiting for them to arrive right now.
As far as the caes go, I'd rather feel what they're like in my hand. Via pictures of cases online, 10 look great for ipad and other devices, however only 1-2 actually feel and function as nice as they seem to be described and pictured online.(not cheap feeling, or feeling like they'l literally fall apart, lacking features cleverly not pictured, etc.

For me none of the cover/cases on Amazon (I was at the local Best Buy to take a look at 7" stuff) are aesthetically pleasing. I ordered a "padded pouch" off Etsy.com and I'm gonna get a sturdy "case" when one becomes available.

I am sure you guys see the video posted by Engadget (http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/29/nexus-10-hands-on-video/), and just wondering about official smart cover for Nexus 10 that shown in video will be available? you know what I mean like Nexus 7's official smart cover never made it because probably they afraid that Apple sue them...
I know Nexus 10's smart cover seems different than Apple's iPad one, looks like they have modified a lot to avoid being sued by Apple?

I'm with you. I seriously hope they release that smart cover shown in the video. Love the concept of the smart cover, something that doesn't add to the thickness of the device but still covers the screen and can act as a stand.
I'd love something like that, but the cover they showed can't even work as a stand. It's a pretty crappy piece of design work, honestly. I'm hoping for much better from them once things are official.
Very interested to see a closer look at this smart cover and any other official accessories they got coming. I read somewhere Motorola might make an "official" keyboard.

It's really a "Google" device AFAIK, so it doesn't seem that far out. It seems we always get let down when it comes to Nexus devices and accessories.
What's really going to help a LOT is the cover mounting area...there's nothing stopping third parties from using that same system with their own wide variety of covers.
I can easily see kickstand covers (like the old Zenus cases), segmented Smart Cover knock offs, simple folios, the works, using this mounting system.
And you can bet Google is happy to let third-party Chinese sweatshops churn these out, even if they infringe on Apple work. Why? Because it's doubtful Apple will bother to go after them if they infringe on "Smart Cover" designs (they haven't yet for other tablet covers), and a wide variety of accessories makes it more desirable to the consumer.
I hope this case will be available for the nexus 10:

I was thinking that 10" wasn't big enough for a decent keyboard, but if you include the bezel, the Nexus 10 is actually 12" diagonal. And if the keyboard case really goes edge to edge like that one, it could have actual full-sized keys. Just save me from that tiny right shift key, ugh. Anyway, neat!
on the google play store under the 'what's in the box' it just says Nexus 10 tablet, so i don't think the smart cover is part of the package from google. hopefully we might be able to get one elsewhere

I just ordered the 32GB Nexus 10, but I am very dismayed at the lack of availability of any type of case for it. Needless to say, that tablet won't be going anywhere except my home. Hurry up, Google, with making the smart cover available for consumers to purchase.
So I heard a rumour that the reason the cover they sent to reviewers isn't for sale is that they didn't get very good feedback on it from the reviewers or the public reading about it.
So, they went back to the drawing board for a more versatile cover, one that serves as a stand as well as a screen protector, and it simply wasn't ready for mass production on launch day.
TL;DR: Patience, good cover coming from Samsung/Google, and of course a plethora of covers from third parties.
Anyone have it. Any thoughts on it.

I had it for a couple days and I really enjoyed it. The only reason I returned it is because it attracts my German Sheppard's hair like crazy...lol but you might not have that problem. Also, it doesn't protect that much but it sure looks good.

Is there a setting that makes it turn on when you put it on
Sent from my 831C using xda app-developers app
It is not as tight or secure on my phone as I thought it would be. Dropped from a couple feet and the phone popped out of it. I have one of the older gray ones. Anyone else have the same or different experience?
The flap would not close all the way because I already had a tempered glass on the screen. It is extremely hard to use with one hand. I tried really hard to like it because I personally think it looks nice, but had to return it for those two reasons.
I just bought mine today. I thought it was broke at first because nothing happened when I put the phone into the case. I turned off my lock, checked to make sure the app was installed. Then I remembered I have a tempered screen protector on. When I took it off, the case works just fine. I think I'm going to take it back because it provides absolutely no protection at all. It only works with HTC apps: no gmail, fb, hangouts, 3rd party sms apps...nothing other than HTC's apps. It looks good and it's a neat trick but for $50 I saw all I needed to see here.
I do really like the principle of the Dot View Case, however its the effort of one handed operation that is hampering the thing... Its not as if i have small hands either - at 6'3" i have absolute shovel hands and still struggle.
Unsure...
Case sucks

There is a magnet on the left side just above the middle that invokes the dot view graphics. You can try it on your M8 with a small magnet.

I really like the case and the idea of it, but it is slightly off for me. When it is closed, the case is a few mm to the left, so the dots aren't as sharp and more of a blur. If I push the flap to the right a little they line up perfectly. I don't have a screen protector. Does anyone else have this issue? Possibly a defect?
I don't mind holding the flap to use the phone as the phone is big enough that I pretty much need two hands to use it anyways. I will continue to use the case, but I may end up returning it before my 14 days are up if I don't fall in love with it. Right now the only thing really bother me is what I mentioned above with it being slightly off.
I have no interest on Dot case. And also don't have any one.

Given the quality of the doubledip cases for M7, I wasn't expecting much in quality. I hope 3rd parties are allowed to do their own dot view. I've only seen S view type cases for the M8 right now.

Flip the cover around the back and one hand use is just fine- it may not wrap around the back perfectly due to the curve, but does not stick out enough to hinder one hand typing, browsing etc, unless you have smurf size hands....

Purchased the Dot View case from VZW originally, wasn't very happy with the Warm Gray color. Purchased the Warm Black Dot View case from the Shop Android part of the site and received it today, its the exact same color that VZW is advertising as warm gray, I was expecting a black case as depicted in the photos, the part numbers on the packaging are different, the VZW packaging has an HTC SKU 99H11530-00 and the Shop Android packaging has an HTC SKU 99H11416-00. I will edit this post with a photo in a little while but has anyone else found a similiar situation or has anyone received the shop android Warm Black case that can comment and/or share a photo to compare the Warm Black color? Thanks! VZW Warm Gray on the left and Shop Android Warm Black on the right...
Anyone interested in buying a case? I bought it earlier thinking I'd like it, but it just isn't for me. Instead of returning it to sprint, I'd rather sell it to someone who's had a hard time looking for one. PM me for details.

A) You need to remove any case to dock the device.
B) The case has a sole purpose to be useful closed.
C) After about a week you get used to how it works and manage to use your device as you normally would.
D) If it didn't snap closed, there would be a thread with someone complaining about how it's a POS case that won't snap closed, what a rip off.
E) It can be an annoying case sometimes, yes. The benefits outweigh the annoyances for me though.

I absolutely love my dot view case.
The cover keeps me from worrying about scratches and dirt on the screen, the quick time and notification view are both nice, but the real awesome feature is the swipe for voice command feature. I use it all the time to make calls.
The flap comes in handy when you're playing a game, as it sort of tilts the device toward you for better viewing angles.
True, you have to remove the case to take a good video or a very steady picture, but the case is super easy to get in and out of.
I really don't have any complaints about mine!

The barely there is nice. I'm using one. It probably won't help much if you dropped it but it will keep the sides and back scratch free.
