Just FYI - I work in the city where Trident is HQ'd and ran into some employees at lunch. After chatting them up for a few minutes I asked if they knew anything about when the Nexus 7 cases were coming out. They emailed me the next week stating that there are no current plans to release a case for it. They've also said as much on Twitter in the past few days, so don't hold your breath waiting on them.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] huckjam:
Well its hard to say an exact measurement but i would say its total size with the tablet in it is 1.5 X's the thickness or the nexus 7 by itself. So not really that much extra the total height of the tablet in the case with the cover closed is a little over 5/8ths inch if i measure from the table to the top of the cover. The clam shell thickness is too thin for me to get any real measurement without a caliper but its negligible its thick enough to protect, but not too thick to be bulky it's just the right size. You wont be disappointed its exactly what I was thinking about when I was looking for a case, when I opened the package I was so pleased I finally found what i was looking for and I havent even thought about changing since then I haven't seen another case for the N7 that even compares!

Thanks for the info. I just can't comprehend why a major case company wouldn't be salivating at the thought of producing a case for what will undoubtedly be a huge selling device.

Hi:

I don't have a problem with the case covering up the bezel--a matter of personal preference. My Nexus 7 2012 case. by Caseen, is also a handstrap case, a little larger than the tablet and more substancial:

http://www.caseen.com/caseen-SKINNY...eep-for-Google-Asus-Nexus-7-Tablet_p_275.html

I like the hand strap feature and use it on public transportation as a deterrent of sorts. The I-Blason case is tight on the tablet but works.

If Caseen comes out with a similar model, I'll buy it but that won't be until October. At any rate, you can buy the I-Blason case now and it works well. We'll see what comes down the pike in a month or so.

Best,

Tom

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Melarsa:
Looks like the Devicewear case is almost identical to the Speck FitFolio, only with a different front flap latching mechanism. If the Devicewear for the new Nexus 7 will be ready to ship soon that bodes well for the FitFolio, since I assume they're getting them from a similar if not the same manufacturer.

Yeah, the Speck case will probably a bit more expensive, but I just love the clasp on the version for the Old Nexus. It makes such a satisfying snap. I'd never heard of the Devicewear case when I bought my old Speck, but I probably would have bought it because it's cheaper. And yet now that I realize how much I love that silly clasp I don't mind paying more for it on my new Nexus.

It's nice to see a cheaper alternative though, if you don't care about the clasp that's a great deal for a great case. The 2012 Nexus Speck case at least has a super high quality fit and finish, and the multiple stand options is really convenient. The Devicewear one looks 95% as good for cheaper, it's just missing that awesome clasp. :p
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] bso44:
I wonder if there's a difference in thickness between the two cases. I'd opt for the one with the slimmer profile.

EDIT: According to this guy who has both cases for his iPad, the Speck Fitfolio is a little bit slimmer. Also, some people have had issues with the Devicewear triggering the sleep/wake function when folded back in book mode. A con for the Speck is that the tablet tends to slip out of the last two grooves. Hopefully both companies have refined and remedied these issues for upcoming N7 cases.

I just received my rooCASE Dual-View Folio Case Cover - Black (with Pen Stylus) today from Amazon. Cost was $2.99 total.

I'll edit and post photos later. In general, its a case, works like a case, it is a case. Cheap and reeks of Cheap China Factory chemical smell.

Magnetic closure and screen activator. I dislike the Stylus and the elastic holder for said stylus. I think at the time I ordered it this was not clear. But this can be cut off if it is annoying. It's nice to have some protection.

The one thing that annoys me most are the corners. This will be evident when I post photos. The cut-outs (or lack of) at the corners make it hard to swipe down on the upper right or left corners to access settings or notifications.

Because this is the "Dual-View" case there is essentially a double thickness of back covers. The camera must be perfectly aligned with the openings, or you will end up with the case obscuring part of the photos.

Oh, and again, you'll see this with photos, there are two little "pouches" / "holders" for either what appears to be an SD or MicroSD card(s). Not especially useful for this device. I suspect it was part of a design for some other device that got carried through as dimensions and cut-outs changed.

Dimensions are ~5"w X 8"h X 7/8"d.

Fold completely against the back when it's open? Right now, it actually doesn't. It props up at roughly a 15-20 degree angle because the case is a little stiff. It definitely needs to be broken in a bit.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] suprmallet:
I think I might also just go for a sleeve until better cases come out.

As for Dodocase, unless they've also added some kind of stand system, they're no good for propping up the device at all. Their solution is flip the front cover around and use it to prop up the tablet, which might be okay on a totally flat surface, but is useless in any other scenario. Also, with an iPad, it was too heavy even on a flat surface. This may or may not be a problem with the N7 since it's lighter than an iPad.

I wonder how accurate that picture is for the Supcase. If you look closely the camera aperture is very centered but on the Nexus 7 (2013) the camera is a bit off to the right when viewing the screen.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Yes that's true I didn't notice that. Hopefully it's just a stock picture mess up. I don't like these types of cases so I ended up not buying one. I prefer to have a case that gives me access to the whole front even when the bezel is still exposed. The more minimal the better as far as I'm concerned. I keep my current n7 version 1 in a leather sleeve so I'm hopping that when my n7 FHD gets here that it'll fit good in there till I can get a proper case for it.

I had the Moko ultra slim on my Nexus 10 since it was offered and it never scratched the screen. I didn't even have a screen protector on the Nexus 10. The tablet is a little recessed in the case so the magnets are a little higher up where the metal piece attaches. Nothing to be concerned about IMO if the new one for the Nexus 7 is made the same way.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] eyecon82:
What If the cover to slip back and land on the screen while in a bag? Wouldn't that scratch it?

I guess if you make sure it's magnetically in place and there isn't a smaller book in your bag against it causing the cover to slide out of the magnetic position, there wouldn't be much to worry about?

That's the cheapest I've seen for multicolored ones in that style. Although it seems like it doesn't have a hand strap. It does have the elastic band that ones with hand straps also have, but nothing in the description indicates it has one. I'm still waiting on the black Moko in this style.

You are right about that. But I really doubt it is by this metal. More likely mineral particles in dust or sand in your pocket, etc... than keys, or other easily bendable piece of metal.

That metal on moko will scratch the gorilla glass on the nexus 7. I don't know why anyone would deny that. Gorilla glass is not sapphires crystal. I dare anyone try rubbing a piece of metal on their Nexus 7.

Although the tablet sits recessed inside the case, and there is air gap between the metal and screen. Any slight force on the cover could make the metal touch the screen. For people who travel with it and often slide it in and out of bags, its dangerous. Unless you tape a piece of felt over the metal inside the cover, then I can recommend the moko case. Otherwise I don't know why anyone would get the moko

There is also the possibility of the metal touching the case while the cover is open.

Just wanted to put my 2 cents in. Lots of posts; please don't flame me if I'm repeating!

I got the SUPCASE Slim model because I needed some type of protection. Not so happy with it.

Cons:

1) All the cutouts are wrong - speaker, cameras, headset jack. Camera and headset jack actually don't have openings

2) Power/volume controls hard to get to

3) Wide bezel cover makes it hard to get to the edge of the screen

4) Tight fit - makes it hard to get out (although some might think this is a pro

5) Fold up stand sort of wobbly

Pros:

1) Velcro strap prevents Nexus from sliding out the open side

2) Magnetic cover closes nicely and turn Nexus off

If you're not in a hurry for a case, I'd wait for a better one. Will definitely be replacing this one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] johnny15:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] JonHan:
I shuddered when I saw the metal on the flap of this case, passed it right by.

BTW: Then Nexus 7 both vintages do not use "Gorilla Glass", it's just Corning scratch resistant glass.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] pgibbons:
That could happen since the magnet is kind of small and the cover does have a little give and slides a little.

Maybe I've just been lucky but I've had it my laptop bag going back and forth to work, on planes, etc. and I have not had a problem with screen scratches.

The material is kind of flimsy though so the top cover is kind of separating on the sides but that's the only problem I've had.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] eyecon82:
People have said you could just remove the metal part since it slides off and is easily bendable

Well now I finally understand a weird design decision with the Memopad HD 7. That tablet's back plastic side meets along the edges but sticks out a millimeter more than the front edge causing an uncomfortable uneven edge. I was puzzled why the edges were so uneven like this. But apparently it was done intentionally so this accessory has something to clip on to.

I think it's a terrible choice to make a tablet more uncomfortable just to make an aftermarket case look cooler. So I guess we should be thankful ASUS didn't do the same thing on the Nexus 7 2013. :)
