Targus Vuscape Case

It's made for the Kindle Fire, but it fits the N7 just fine. It doesn't fully close. What I mean is it doesn't clasp the side since the tablet is skinnier then the Kindle Fire. But it does the job until something better comes out. I got it for $15 at Marshall's
Here are some pictures of it:

It looks exactly like the yoomee case for the kindle, and they say that it also fits perfectly for the nexus 7. That case though is only 5 dollars with free 2 day shipping with Amazon Prime.

That case is branded by several (hundreds?) companies. Good design. I've been using one on a Galaxy tab 10.1 for six months. Good slim protection and holds it well.If anyone is wondering: don't get one of those cases that covers the bezel. You might not like bezel, but you'll hate those cases.

Very first post, new to the Android and tablet scene. I had my heart set on a case that covers the bezel. Can you elaborate on your negative experience with these cases? Your insight may help me consider other types of case/cover. Thank you.

From my experience, cases that cover the bezel can be really tight. So tight that it effects your ability to use the touch screen and can distort colors due to the pressure.
Clips only for me forever.

A few issues:
1 - thicker and heavier than other cases
2 - pain in the ass to put the tablet into and remove
3 - covers the edges of the screen from some viewing angles
4 - different light quality on the edges versus the center
5 - (this is the most important) affects your ability to interact with the touchscreen for things on the edges or for certain swipe gestures. With the nexus this will be particularly important because it has a tiny bezel on the sides.

I just ordered one of these, $5.99 and free 2 day shipping with Prime.

Looks nice. Thanks for sharing.

Picked this up last night. Looks and feels nice. Only down side is that I find it hard(er) to hit the power, and vol buttons. The back also does not have holes for the speaker but I can still hear sounds just fine.

I had no real issues with it and I'm always holding it unfolded so the audio sounds fine to me.

Ah thanks

I am actually picking up this one until more premium cases come out:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008IEGS9W/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A29LLD0WGS56WE

I purchased the same case in red (I wanted black with black stitching) since it was 4.00 on Amazon with 2day free prime shipping. Mine isn't branded targus, but it is the same case but less than 1/3 the price, and without the white stitching I find so unappealing. It really is a nice case. I planned on buying this to hold me over till better cases come out, but I'm going to stick with it now.
Since this particular case is made for the fire:
No speaker cut outs, but if you have the case set in portrait stand mode, the speakers are exposed. Perfect for me. The clasp does close, you just have to bend the clasp inward. If you look in picture 5 or 6, you can see how far I bent the clasp in. It fits like a glove now.

You can just set you DPI to 160 in Rom Toolbox to get tablet mode. Thats what I did.

@randpost: Could you please post a link to that red case with Prime shipping? I'd rather have a black case, but this is the first time I hear of a hard case with Prime shipping for the Nexus 7!
Thanks

Here is the link. Prime shipping has changed and so has the price. Still free shipping though.

[Review] Seidio Active Case

Today before lunch, I got in the Seidio Active case with front cover/kickstand. It's much like the Kindle Fire case I had. So I am glad that I now have it protecting my N7.
As you can see it is the black version. All the cutouts are there EXCEPT for the POGO Pins. But I see it as if you are going to use the POGO pins, you HAVE to remove the case to use a POGO device, so I am am ok with covering it up at this time.
The case comes in three parts, the rubber polymer, hard exterior skeleton, and the mounting cover. The rubber does attract dust especially when brand new out of the box lol, but after a while, the dust and debris will get easier to wipe off with your hand. The front cover can be slipped on the back of the case for convenience and IMO added protection. And there is no magnets to speak of. Which is ok, IMO, I'll just use my volume rockers to turn it on, which I do anyway.
If you have any Seidio products on any of your devices, this does not disappoint. All the cutouts are there and the front camera is clear from the rubber exterior as well. Without the front cover, the Nexus 7 is comfy in my hand and i can see gaming on this more and more...if my 4 year old is not hogging it up lol....
To sum it up, the case is what I expected from Seidio and the quality of their cases. I have been a repeat customer for years and I forsee that I may be again when I get my next device, whatever that may be.
Any questions please ask! Here are the pics starting with unboxing without the N7 installed....enjoy!
Posting the pics, I came to the realization that my desk is mighty dusty! I apologize for that in advance ROFL

I answered those generally in the other Seidio thread but forgot to post the question and answers here, so here it goes:
1. Is it bulky?
Ans: No more bulkier than my Treegloo case. It actually feels thinner than the treegloo and Kindle Fire version IMO, that's without the front cover on the back :cyclops:.
2. Does it add to the thickness/weight?
Ans: It does seem a bit heavier. I think it has to do with the skeleton and rubber combo. But it feels comfortable in the hand because of the rubber exterior IMO. Is it thick? See answer one lol...well if you are coming from a naked N7 then this would be a major step but also major protection IMO.
Hope that helps a bit! :fingers-crossed:

I took some pics showing the difference in thickness (with measurements) with the case and cover part way down this page, also near the bottom I posted the weight of the bare 7, with case and with case/cover.

Is it me, or the case is somewhat "curvy"? Especially in you last picture, it looks like the rubber doesn't make straight lines around the screen.

Hmm...looks the same doesn't it? LOL. In the pics I see what you are saying but when looking at it, it looks ok to me lol.

Having a closer look, it looks like there's some barrel distortion with your camera, as even the screen itself isn't fully square. The case is probably fine (and the lines do look smoother in the more recent picture).

Can you use the harder protective back to cover the front of the screen?

Nice. This is definitely on my to buy list. Been waiting for a tough case to come out since I bought it.

Got mine and am not disappointed in the least. Pretty much great in every way. Highly recommended.

I am interested in this case as well. Could someone get a pic of the case and tab side by side laying flat on a desk/table? I'm trying to get a feel for how much thicker it ends up being with the top on it. Thanks

Has anyone tried this specific "smart cover" case?

I looked around for smart covers on ebay and found the cover below. It doesn't fold around like this case does and in general looks more stable judging by the pictures (they could be wrong though).
Have any of you tried it? I have not found a review of it yet but I figured it might be worth asking.

Looks cool, but it would have to be much more stable than it looks to me.

Yes I have this case, I tell you its a beautiful case to hold and look at. There are other colour variants available which I got the red one.
Its very sleek, doesn't add much weight or bulk to the device.
The sleep functions works brilliantly, and doesn't lock the device when you fold it over to hold like a book, which some do.
ONE DOWNSIDE!!!! - The stand is very hard to figure out (i have not yet figured how to fold it to make it stand up haha !)
Hope this helps answer your questions.
And I genuinly recommend this case as its ace ! (that rhymes weee)

Have you got a link for any of the other colours? The ones I see in multiple colours are the ones with the wrap-around magnetic closure in the back (which I have, I'd like to have one that just lies over the screen for use at home).

You're right mate, asif
Yeah the coloured variants have a lip that does go round the back, but its not noticeable and surely you want this to keep it nicely closed and secure?

I think it's noticeable, especially when I have that extra flap to fold back over when I'm using the N7 in my hand.
I want to keep it closed and secure, sure, when it's in a bag or something. But my N7 spends most of its time on my coffee table or bar; I'd love to have a slim case with just a flap over the screen to keep the dust out. That doesn't cost $30+ like the Poetics or Portenzos of the world.

So do you have this exact case or not? I've seen the other ones and I'm not interested in them after reading the reviews. That's why I started a new thread about this one. If you do have this one, some pictures would be great.

I went and ordered one of these, but likely won't have it for a couple of weeks since it's coming from China. Will post my impressions when it arrives.

That's a different case, with the wrap-around flap on the right side. I already have that one.

look, heres the deal, that case may look pretty but any case like that wont stay closed. for it to be closed, there would have to be magnets along the edges like the portfolio. any case maker that says the case will stay closed without magnets on the border is lying.

I own one and its awesome. Buy it.

I have to admit, I never really liked these cases... but after seeing that YouTube review online, I'm curious enough to give it a shot.
I'm absolutely in love with this Speck case, but I do have a minor concern with it. I use my Nexus 7 frequently, very frequently, and not only that but I use it for work. I'm continually walking up and down the hall at work going from one problem to another, using my N7 along the way. As a result, I'm concerned I may wear out the clip on the Speck case quite a bit. This only became a thought when I realized the clipping mechanism is significantly easier now than it was when I bought it. Broken in? Maybe. Will it get even softer? Very possible. This case ensures that won't happen since the magnets of course don't have physical contact to wear like that. While the higher stand up position seems a bit easy to topple over, the other one with the N7 (one I'd likely prefer anyway) looks a bit better in terms of stability.
At any rate, ah, I bought one just now - we'll see what happens when it gets here.
Edit - for what it's worth the one I ordered did indeed have the magnetic flap that goes around back to ensure it stays shut. I'm not sure I'd consider one without...

Case arrived today, so far I like it, the cover lies flatter than the eBay case with the extra flap, and it feels slimmer. Only downside so far is that it sometimes puts the tablet to sleep when I fold it back. We'll see if it gets better over time. I'll try to take pictures when I have a chance.

maybe slip something to block the magnet on the back? not sure what can maybe help on that front, but maybe a little thickness might be enough.
Side note, anyone have this and the poetic slimline case? I got the first case they had for my uncle, but it's a bit difficult for him to open. I'd get him a portenzo like mine, but it might actually add more bulk than I'd want for him.

Hey Everyone, I'm not really sure if selling stuff here on XDA is ok, unfortunately there is not a accessories section for the Gear so I listed this thread here, If this is not allowed, just delete the thread, no big deal.
But I'm about to throw these up on eBay and figured I'd give XDA the first go at em'.
These are custom designed and cut by me. The first day I got the Gear I probably put about a dozen scuffs in the stainless steel speaker clasp, I'm a graphic Designer so all day the clasp slides and bangs off my desk at work, and it killed me to think after just a few days my watch is going to look old and used. Well knowing I was going to exchange my watch for a new one (battery problem) I figured with a fresh watch I want to keep it looking brand new.
So with the OCD I have about my tech devices, I spent a few hours developing these Speaker Protectors, and they work amazing! They are made from the highest quality vinyl available, very durable, self adhesive backing, custom cut specifically for the speaker on the Galaxy Gear SmartWatch and extremely easy to apply!
I put my first one on about 3 weeks ago, still in perfect shape and still holding strong. Underneath my speaker clasp is perfect, and will stay that way!
The vinyl is a chrome color (can do other colors as well. IE Dark Green, Purple, Gray with more options if these catch on) Which blends perfect color-wise (Vinyl is more of a matte. See Pictures Below).

These are a must for any Gear owner who want to keep their speaker clasp from dings, scratches and scuffs.
I also designed custom fitted screen protectors, once applied you cant tell its even there. I'm not sure what kind of glass the Gear has on it, and if it can be scratched or not, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
I'm selling the speaker protectors 5 for $5 USD Shipped (Around $8 USD on eBay). Plus 5 screen protectors. You really shouldn't need more than 1 of either for the life of your Gear. But this ensures you ensures you always have protection for the sensitive parts of your Galaxy Gear.
If you would like to pick some up, and support further development on device accessories from me. PM and I'll give you my info.
Again hopefully I'm not breaking a rule here by posting this, I am an active member of XDA and figured I'd give people a chance to pick something up for their Gear here first before its on eBay.​

lol Oops, well like I said, no biggie to delete the thread, These are up on eBay now if anyone is interested but not for the XDA price.
After materials, time and shipping, I'm basically making nothing, I'm no developer, so this is my attempt to give back to XDA for l the help over the years.
But until they delete the thread anyone who wants some, feel free to hit me up on PM and we'll get you squared away.

AWESOME! Did not see these when I searched, and this is the mark Samsung missed with the watch, don't get me wrong I love the look of my gear, but instead of the chrome bezel, a full black (maybe a gunmetal black or matte rubber black instead of the chrome) watch would have been gorgeous!
Good find!
The decal for the top of the watch is awesome and is just what I was looking for when I got the watch, basically full body armor, I might see if I can develop something like this in different colors and offer it cheaper. lol now that I've seen it done, its back to the drawing board! lol

It has limited instructions in the box. Like cleaning the device before applying etc. It is actually very easy its not like a film type screen protector and you get one shot at it. You can carefully peel it back and re-apply if you haven't lined it up correctly, this is for the body protection only. The screen protector is different being a wet type, It did say about spraying the screen with the supllied spray I only sprayed the screen protector only, this worked fine for me, you can move the protector around to the perfect position and use the squeezi to push out excess fluid. The screen protector is perfect you can't even notice you have one fitted. Hope this helps.

All,
I also purchased the carbon fiber skin from slickwraps and I just received it today. I only purchased it to cover the back of the phone. I installed it and took some pics with a camera that can focus . As much as I liked the back of the phone, the dark color shows EVERYTHING and I wanted to protect it, so I figured this would be a good option. This wrap has a nice texture to it as well, so it is not nearly as slippery now. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

My post was not meant to demean the op I just wanted to give people a little better idea on how it looks. The fit is perfect!

You guys have any tips for getting it on the back. The curve always gets me.

The instructions from Slickwraps show to start by aligning it around the camera opening. I tried that, but struggled to keep it straight on the sides. I ended up lining it up on one of the curved sides and it turned out great. I am thankful that it was not a clear cover, however, since did have to peel it off a couple of times when I tried aligning using the camera opening. Since my cover is black, it hides any issues, including any dust.

I've never used a skin before. but I see people really struggling to get screen protectors right, but everyone seems to get skins perfect. How does that work? I've considered a skin, but it would bug me so much if it wasn't perfect. Whats the deal with getting it so perfect?

I am right there with you on need to get it as perfect as possible. I had to peel it off a couple of times to get it to fit right. The key, in my opinion, is to take your time. Since the back is glass, the skins stick really well...almost too well when trying to install them. I did get it right on the first try as soon as I used one of the curved sides for alignment. It makes it a lot easier when it is not a clear protector because it hides any finger prints, dust, etc. that may make their way in during the installation. I am sure I would have had visible issues if this were a clear protector.

I tried the sides a couple times, but could never center it correctly. I ended up using the top and camera. That didn't end up very straight either lol

I got the natural series tan distressed leather from Slickwraps. I think it looks amazingly amazing to say the least. It was also the easiest skin to apply (Took me less than 2 minutes); due to the rigidity of the leather , and the precise fit. The leather looks, feels and smells great, all while adding a much needed grip to the back of the phone. One thing I was worried about was how thick the leather would be. I'm happy to say that the leather wrap fits perfectly and doesn't really add much bulk to the phone. The back now sits flush to the protruding camera; letting the phone sit perfectly flat on a table and not rock back and forth. I'll drop some pictures to give you guys a better idea of how it looks.
I was a bit hesitant due to the reputation Slickwraps seem to have on these forums, but I'm glad I chose to purchase. I honestly give it a 10/10. It's good to have a note with real leather on it for once. Only thing left to see is how well it holds up over time.

Amazing. Got the same color coming Monday. Any heat needed? Did you try burnishing the edges down at all? Seems like the guy with the black one did a good job of that with a pen.

I don't think it needed the heat, but I hit it with a blow dryer on the edges just to be sure. I also did burnish the edges a bit after I took the pictures so it would it would sit even closer to the metal frame on the sides. Honestly look great. You'll love it.

Any ideas if this skin could be removed and later re-applied? Just curious cause I like these, but may not always just wanna have a skin on. I may wanna use a case, and so then what...

I am they they can be removed, but I am not sure about being re-applied. They do really stick to the back of the phone since it is glass. It took me a couple of attempts to get it aligned just right and it was not easy to peel off. If you are able to remove it without damage and the wrap is not clear, I would think you may be able to re-apply it a couple of times.
