After trying several cases for my Nexus 7, knowing there aren't any specifically for the Nexus 7 at any retail stores, this was the best one I've come across. It will hold me over until an official case comes out (I've kept the receipt so I can return it). I just can't have such an awesome piece of tech sitting around without a case and without the ability to use it as a stand for viewing. The leather is genuine and the case is simply gorgeous. I love the way if holds the tablet without the clamps/rubberized holding mechanism actually rubbing or touching the bezel. All ports are accessible while it is in the case and the power/volume buttons are very easily accessible.
Found it at Fry's this morning on the way to work but it will set you back $59.99. One of the best portfolio stand cases I've ever owned for any of my devices. High end.

None, which is hard to say about most cases. I've always had something I've disliked about a case but have dealt with it. I've also always went for the cheaper the better in the past. This case is truly a "you get what you pay for" case. The way it holds the very edges of the tablet is my favorite part. It looks like it is floating in the case and the parts that hold the tablet in place never really become part of the view. The access to all buttons and inputs as well as the quality of the leather are great. The actual stand aspect allows for infinite viewing angles and never feels cheap, like the stand portion is going to collapse at any moment.
This case looks really nice. I personally want a colored case though and not the standard brown/black. Also, I'd rather pay a bit more for a case that I really like and thats going to last me a while then buy a cheap case that I'm not that into, deciding that Im not satisfied with it and having to buy more. So if I see something that I fall in love with then I don't mind pulling the trigger as long as its not 100+

Nice. It fits perfectly? Usually cases with the plastic clips are pretty picky about what they'll work with. If so, I'm thinking about buying one of these gtab 2 7.0 cases and adding a "smart cover" magnet to it.

Here's how well it fits Very securely! I'm actually shaking the case while I hold it upside down. Talk about making your heart jump a bit!
are you sure? I tried the same case and it doesn't fit too well, but its the best one
the corners are still lodged

I just pulled the edges on the 4 rubber ends out slightly, if that makes sense, and when the tablet was in place, they wrapped perfectly around each corner of the tablet. It takes a tiny bit of "fitting", but once it's on, it's all good.

I had to bring it to work! It definitely is my new baby. Tethered 4G connection from my Galaxy Nexus Streaming music while getting my work on.

Thanks for sharing, that case looks made to order on the Nexus 7. :good:
How about the speaker in the back, is it covered or are there holes for it?
There are no holes for the speaker. I did a test at max volume and I have no idea why but it sounds louder with it in the case then out of the case. It could be the way it's configured with the speaker near flush but with a decimeter or so gap. I know with my phones and tablets that they tend to sound louder when they are angled near a wall and I seem to get the same effect with this case.

This case is very similar to the one you bought, but is significantly cheaper.

The company has a case specifically for the N7, but no pictures of the N7 in a case. I'm guessing their N7 is waiting to be delivered too. Haha. Anyway, I really like the floating look, and will probably be getting this one.

People on other threads have been linking to Cases listed on Amazon and Ebay with that very similar look (they probably all use the same stock photos) with prices ranging from $10 to $20. Even cheaper.

I don't know, may be not the same quality but it's hard to judge from photos, or even the prizes.
Only way to judge is hand-on experience like the OP's case, his case looks good also because when the back holds on to four corners only, whereas these ones are a bit 'uneven' (when viewed in portrait mode) : p
I would perfer something that holds on to the edges of Nexus 7 only, like the Official Case or this:

Hey everyone,
Got my nillkin case:
http://www.nillkin.com/chinese/proshow.asp?mid=2&sid=&tid=&cid=&scid=&id=2739&page=
Pros: There is a fine texture on the back of the case. Really improves your confidence regarding holding it.
The smooth case of of stock Note kinda makes you feel like it might slip right out.
Holes are cut pretty well. I kinda wish it was little bit thicker to protect the camera more.
Cons: It's too thin. Meaning it doesn't really fit all that well with the cover on.
However, if you remove the back cover it's pretty good actually. You lose your NFC antenna if you do this though.
The top and bottom are basically exposed.
This is, one one hand, annoying, and on the other hand - At least I don't have to worry about headphone port blockage, or worse - making the USB port even more annoying than it is now.
I haven't tried the included screen protector yet.
- Frank
Has anyone seen this case?

The screen protector isn't staying on very well.
What about simple protection? Is it that bad as u said cos its thin and it doesn't fit well? Or still one can assume it's safe (i rarely drop my phones)..

The problem with those is that they are 2 pieces glued together so after some time they start to seperate, I had the GNex bumper (like in 2nd link) and thats exactly what happened; it was nice while it lasted for the month or so
1 piece with a raised lip and it would be perfect imo

The aluminium bumpers neudof and myself linked shouldn't affect reception at all as they don't hide any of the back cover. It's the ones that hide the back cover are the ones you should worry about. I work in the basement floor in my office and I still have full reception.
I have an aluminium bumper on my s2, it does not effect the signal at all.
I wish they make the bumber out of titanium .

My bumper will come in on Wednesday so i will test it then. I have 3 areas where i get varying reception. So i will be able to test it in places where i get excellent signal, medium signal, and weak signal. I'm hoping it turns out to be fairly accurate portrayal of real world conditions. I will provide speed test results of course as well as comment on performance. Thanks for everyone contributing to this thread.
my aluminium bumper just arrived today.
pros:
- is sleek and beautiful
- it is very light so you'll not notice the extra weight
- i didn't notice signal degradation, is at the same level as without bumper
- very easy to mount
cons:
- the cuts for usb and headphones are kinda small and you have to use original samsung cables or similar otherwise they will not fit
- the edges on he back are a little sharp, not enough to hurt, but they could be a little unconfortable
overall impression, i like it and happy with the purchase

i've got that one. depends on your signal degredation. with a tpu case, my signal strength gets up to around 17asu max, with an average of 13-14asu.
with the bumper in the link you've sent, my signal strength drops to 14asu max, with an average of 8-10asu. so for me, the drop in reception was annoying enough for me to just go back to my heavy duty tpu case.
for me the signal strenght oscillate between 10 to 16 asu, with 1-14 average, with or without bumper, so i can conclude that the signal is more or less the same.
what does looks worse is the gps signal which keeps droping inside the building. i still didn't check it outside the building though

i never had much gps signal indoors so not much of a problem there.
but i did notice the signal strength drop was notable enough to increase battery drain as my device tried to use more power to boost the signal. normally my daily usage is quite consistent, to the point where i only use 20% of my battery after a 9 hour shift. with the aluminium bumper, i end up using 30% of my battery after a 9 hour shift.
im sure for people who get better signal strength, the loss in signal wont be noticeable at all. but for me, it was enough for me to go back to a tpu case.
I had a aluminum bumper and it killed my signal. I was in about a 3 bar 4G area and it would drop the signal down to 3G with 2 bars. My area has always been a solid 3G area. I took it off and on in numerous locations over and over and it was indeed the culprit. Now its sitting around collecting dust.

Ah ok. Thanks. Are there any without the cut out? All I can find is the one with the cutout.
I just got me one of these from a local store here in the Philippines. I regularly use a UAG Scout and I must say that this is pretty slim compared to the Scout. A few more things to note:
Lip is only about 1-1.5 mm thin
Drop protection is only a 2 on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being the highest
Will only allow you to charge with the cable that came with the phone - anything bigger wont fit.
The jack of my aJays one+ fits
Power and volume buttons are covered.
Personally, I wouldn't use this case on a daily basis - it's more of a "for the home" kind of case. I'm still going to use my UAG - Scout especially if I know that I would have a tough and busy day ahead.

So my wireless charging mod came in today and I love it! It works very well with all my charging pads and I love the way it feels on the phone. It makes the phone look and feel "whole". Plus the camera is inset just a little now which I like. Because before when you lay it down the camera was the first thing to touch. So this protects it a bit. I ordered mine straight from Motorola because I noticed some websites had some with slightly thicker dimensions "older models perhaps?" But I got it for $29.99 plus shipping. Not too bad.
are you able to use a case with this mod attached? I have the incipio case and it seems pretty snug with no mods, but i want this mod....

Not sure. The mod is pretty sturdy feeling and the screen shatterproof. I just put a screen protector on for scratches and roll with it. So for me I Don't really see any need to have a case. I never have been one to like cases. That's why I've always liked Motorola because their phones are physically tough.
How long does it take to get the battery completely full from almost completely empty with that mod?

I also bought this bumper and loved it initially. No more slippery edges around the phone and very cool looking and feel. However, the big issue with this bumper, to me, was the reduction of signal (from 5 bars down to 3 bars). It also affected the 4G Tx/Rx signals too. It did not affect Wifi signal that much though. Now, I switched to Verizon Two-Tones black color rubber bumper and love it too. No more reduction of phone signals, protects the edges of the phone and wireless charging mod works perfect too.

Yes, there is a "tab" in the bottom center of bumper. It does not block the bottom edge of mod, but rather it is very close to bottom edge of mod. This makes the mod to come out/going in a bit difficult.

Will this work with the power pack mod?

I don't have power pack mod, so I don't have an answer. Hopefully, it could work .....

How long does it take to get the battery completely full from almost completely empty with that mod?

About three hours or a bit more if really discharged. Nice for an overnight charge and better battery life...

If you use the battery pack mod and plug in the charger to the actual mod at night with it attached to the phone, will both charge?

I also had the Incipio case and when I got my wireless charging mod I had to stop using the case and switch to the Ademite bumper.
Which mod are you guys referring to? The Tumi or Incipio?
