Still patiently waiting for the official Asus Premium Cover... :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] fosser2:
Mine also shipped this morning!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] RayLancer:
Speck has some Nexus 7 cases planned. I'm sure it'll be a folio one, but I hope they make a Candyshell one also.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] soju59:
Mine as well.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] michaelg1030:
Just got this universal folio case in. I took a chance with it and it is slightly too short for the nexus 7. Lengthwise the tablet is about flush with the case to maybe protruding a mm or so beyond the case on both ends. Also, no cutouts for camera or speakers although you can still hear the speakers just fine.

The tablet stays in the case using an adhesive. The adhesive is very sticky and I do not see anyway it will come off, but at the same time you can easily remove the tablet and reapply it to the sticker. The case was only $5 shipped from amazon and I bought it just to see if I want a case.

My 1st impression is that it makes the nexus too bulky to hold, keep in mind this is a pretty thin case. It feels very sturdy and well built. Has both landscape and portrait stand positions. I'll give it some more time and see if a case grows on me. More than likely I will not use the case and in stand just purchase a sleeve that converts to a stand. Unless a smart cover is release for the tablet.

I just ordered the Exact black folio case. Found here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E5NP1X4/ref=pe_385040_30332200_pe_309540_26725410_item

Hi:

Just to confirm that the I-Blason cover bends instead of folding. It's definitely irritating but it is a real case and will have to do until something better comes around.

Hi:

During the feeding-frenzy, tablet in hand but no case, I ordered a few cases, not sure when any would arrive. Anyway, I just got the Finte Slim Fit Folio Case:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E58YCZW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's a snug fit, no hand-strap but at least the cover folds, instead of bending.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E5NOWTS/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 has anyone ordered these cases before ? when i ordered they said they were instock on the fourth of august, then it was switched to august 9th and now they are telling me my case will not ship until the 19th. getting fed up and thinking about just canceling .
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] vcbacon@hotmail.com:
I got the same one.

It's nothing fancy, but does the trick.

I also like the fact that it has an elastic ring to hold a stylus.

For $5 it wasn't a bad buy.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] eyecon82:
Looks awesome, although still no mention of a magnetic auto wake/lock
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Garoto1973:
I did. Probably they are out of stock again. I bought it o August 2nd, shipped on the 6th and arrived in Miami on the 8th (with Amazon Prime).

Now I am waiting for it to clear customs so probably I will pick it up Tue or Wed. I will report on it! I hope it is as good as the one for the Nexus 7 1st gen, it had a tight fit and fooled a lot of folks as it feels like real leather. :cowboy:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] emmabellachristian:
think its absurd that i buy mine two days later and its been delayed 3 times now. i dunno if i wanna just get something else or wait.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] spike021:
I sent an email yesterday to ASUS inquiring about whether or not the "ASUS MeMO Pad HD 7 TransCover" would be reworked for the Nexus 7 and received this email from them:

I can't seem to find the Premium Cover anywhere yet, so it's probably not in distribution yet - I did send an email in response to see if he could give me a possible ETA.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] TheNeck:
I just got this case on Wed-Thurs. For the price you can't beat it, it fits pretty good.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] dannysk89:
Let us know if you get that ETA, it's the case I'm holding out for as well.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] zackiv31:
Ditto. Is it worth starting another thread for the Asus Premium cover? That way we can track availability and hopefully experiences later on the line. This thread is already 60+ pages. It's the only case I care for.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] spike021:
Yeah no problem. First response took slightly over 24 hours and I think they're probably not working Sundays. If I get something tomorrow (Monday) then I'll definitely post here.

Either way. It's still kind of not set in stone since I don't see it advertised anywhere else besides the ASUS website. So maybe wait at least until it's shown for pre-order or something elsewhere? Just my 2 cents. :svetius:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] UWRF:
Pre-order has been up for that case on GameStop website for a while. Search this thread.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] HKSpeed:
I got an email today (Sunday 8/11) from Amazon that my Poetic Slimbook case shipped. Amazon even provided a USPS tracking number. Amazon currently shows it will be in stock on 8/19. When I pre-ordered it on 8/5 the expected in-stock date shown was 8/9, so they're actually 2 days late.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] DakiX:
I like skins. I bought one for my One already by dbrand in carbon, now available for the Nexus 7 but leather. It's awesome ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] michaelg1030:
First time seeing those. Look pretty nice.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] icase81:
I think this is the route I'm going. I just got a dbrand CF skin for my Nexus 4 and its awesome.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] detonation:
+1 for these cases. I had the "X-Wave" design for my original N7 (that one did cover the buttons) and it fit great. I don't need a fancy cover and stand, just something to protect the body. Wish they made more of them in white though, but I know it's because it turns yellow after a while (like mine is now).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] spike021:
Well excuse me for not noticing before.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] macaumen:
This one looks perfect for me too. One concern that I don't buy the 3-rd case, i.e. Moko, Poetic, etc., is that those are too thick and other members reported that those cases may not work with Qi. This one from ASUS is thin and it's what I am looking for.

Damn it i just spent $20 for the travel case.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] spike021:
Yeah. I feel the same way, plus I really don't want a faux leather or any kind of leather case. I just want a minimalistic hard case that'll be protective as well as have the nice screen flap w/ magnets.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] macaumen:
I actually don't see that on US ASUS website. I only see that on Global ASUS website. May be we need to go eBay for that one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] michaelg1030:
Because its not made for the nexus 7. That case is for the memo pad.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] macaumen:
Premium Cover for Nexus 7 (2013)

I guess the title states for itself.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] michaelg1030:
Sorry I saw that you were talking about the memo pad case. No where did I see mention of the premium cover, nor a link.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] macaumen:
Take it easy =]

There's a link in a post from another member.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] spike021:
O_o In my earlier post (link) I mentioned asking ASUS customer support if they were planning to rework the memo one I think. But in my quote of their response, there was a link to the Nexus 7 2013 Premium cover. No worries though.

Possibly. Gamestop does have it listed though for a September 3rd release. It's definitely questionable.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] DigitalRambler:
tpu and folio case

is it possible to fit the Nexus 7 with a tpu case into one of the folio cases?

I am looking for the best of both worlds.

I want a case like a tpu that protects all of the edges, but also like the fact that a folio case covers the screen and has a kickstand.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] rafa3L:
You want the Devicewear Ridge or the Speck Fitfolio which should both be coming soon for this device. Minus the TPU.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Ph33zy:
Could you let us know whether or not the metal magnet could potentially cause screen damage? I really want this case, but was holding off for more feedback.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Coronado is dead:
If you have it in a bag or something and pressure is applied, that metal clip is going to rub the screen/protector in my opinion.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] eyecon82:
Yes, I sure will. But it may be tomorrow. Seems it was delivered to the mail room at work and they can't track it down and they are closed . at have to wait till tomorrow before they make the department deliveries
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Ph33zy:
Thanks.. that can't be good. Do you own the case or are you just speculating at this point?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Coronado is dead:
I do not have it. I had the same reservation as you. But seeing the placement, I can't see it not touching the screen pretty regularly if my backpack. Just carrying it around should be fine I would think.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] bckrupps:
that's what he said
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] eyecon82:
Exactly, putting pressure on the case like in a bag with books will probably make it touch. Another user suggested putting tape on the inside part to prevent scratches. I like that idea and will probably use electrical tape since it is more rubberized
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] spike021:
Same. Seriously hoping. Still no reply on my end. They say it may take 48 hours for a response, plus maybe they people are asking around about it. We'll see.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] karnoff:
Just got my Moko case today, actually pretty nice.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] :
Well that's good to hear. I live in Canada and had to pay 15 dollars for shipping. The total came to 23 dollars I think. Amazon.ca has outrageous prices, 30 to 40 dollars for the same case offered on amazon.com for 5 to 10 dollars. The problem is, shipping is expensive ordering from amazon.com to Canada and many won't ship up here. I was lucky to find one that would.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] bso44:
How does the case feel in your hand when you fold the cover all the back? And does the magnet trigger the sleep/wake function when it's folded back like that like some cases have been known to do?

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 PM ----------

If you're really worried about it, someone in the Moko thread came up with a pretty simple solution that should work well - just a little electrical tape on the inside:

---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

Yea, those are the 2 cases I'm waiting for but in the meantime, I think I'm going to get the Moko Ultra Slim to tide me over.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] stimr2:
I wish there was a way to latch the front cover to the back of the case. Right now I just fold it up like you would to use it as a stand. Also the sleep/wake function isn't effected when the cover is folded back.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] karnoff:
case so far feels fine when open, could be a little sturdier i guess. feels great when closed

Sleep and wake function work perfect when i close and open the case

i really like the minimal border around the face of the tablet when open
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] bso44:
Yea, that's one thing I'm worried about. I read in bed a lot so I'm always holding my N7 upside down. Some of the folio cases with the clips that didn't cover the bezel had a nice handstrap was great for that but I'm not a fan of those kinds of cases overall since they're somewhat bulky.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] stimr2:
That's a pretty good idea. But I don't know how well the adhesive would stick to the case.

For those following my conversation with ASUS about the Premium cover, I just received a new response:

All in all, not very helpful. I would say to estimate the date as being around the 3rd of September since that's what Gamestop has listed. Until we find another store that lists a date, we won't have a better way to find an approximate eta.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Coronado is dead:
Poetic JUST emailed me to say their cases should work with the wireless charger.

So whoever said it did not work might have one with a defect? Too thick or something?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] michaelg1030:
I don't have the case, but their response doesn't sound to convincing to me. The case either does or doesn't work with wireless charging and based on the apparent thickness of the case its my guess that it wouldn't be able to penetrate the case.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] macaumen:
How thick are those cases? Are they a lot thicker than the ASUS travel cover? This is one of the reason why I still haven't purchased one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] andyahs:
The travel cover is thin enough for light to penetrate so there is no issue with wireless charging but one's like the Supcase will not work as mine does not.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Coronado is dead:
That is very strange that your's doesn't work. I mean, mine can easily go though a Moleskine cover and 20 pages of paper.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] macaumen:
How about the moko ultra-slim and the poetic slimline? Those are the potential cases for me. They look a lot thicker than the travel cover, which is what I am using right now.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] pedxing:
Just got the moko case. Looking very closely, even when pressing on the metal tab from the outside there is still a slight gap of maybe 1 mm between the metal and the screen. I think I'll be OK with no tape.

Otherwise it feels very good in the hand. The bulk it adds is pretty minimal... It is 14 mm by my measurement.

The cover folds all the way back fairly well... It does not lay completely flat easily. It will if you don't mind the flap sticking out a centimeter on the other side.

It's a bit stiff for rolling up for the typing position but not a big deal.

The magnetic wake works well and does not turn on if accidentally if folded over.

The flap closes with a satisfying click and there's a small resistance when opening that feels nice.

The hard shell went onto the tablet easily and without any strain. It removes easily as well meaning you won't crack it putting the tablet in and out.

The shell is mostly lower than the bezel which is very nice. Only a strip along the flap opening side is higher so as to protect the screen from the flap rubbing.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
In the end it all depends on your specific qi charger also. I know mine with the Samsung charger and the i-Blason slim it charges fine. I think the poetic will be OK

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] macaumen:
Thickness with ASUS travel cover FYI.

12.26mm

How accurate is your 14mm? Thickness is one of my main concern purchasing cases.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] pedxing:
I just eyed it the first time with a tape measure but I just remeasured with the calipers: 14 mm still.

According to the Asus site, the premium cover is 12 mm but I find that a little difficult to believe. They list the travel cover as 12 also...a hard shell plus flap has to be a bit more.

Unfortunately I won't be able to test the qi charging with the moko case until tomorrow. The charger's at work. :rolleyes:

The hard shell of the premium cover is thinner than those of moko and poetic. You can easily tell by the photos.

I don't have the tablet it would go with (yet?), but I'd appreciate being able to tote a small keyboard around with me in the fashion that these seem to provide. (I'm in Canada, and the first of those seems to be available here, but not the second...)

As for the first impression, the tablet sits quite nicely inside the leather case. I actually didn't have a good experience with "slip-on" type of cases in the past, however, I think this time i-Blason did a real good job with the measurements.

Very satisfied with it.

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

Any case. Do a google search. Its becoming widespread. Its not the case its that with a case on you dont necessarily have to hold it and thats the problem as your body serves as the ground for the screen. Not everyone has an issue but many do. Many tech sites are reporting it and there are threads about it here
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] bso44:
Gotcha. Guess I'm just lucky too since I haven't had that issue. *knock on wood*
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] HKSpeed:
if the multitouch problem occurs because you're not holding (grounded to) the tablet, would the problem appear if you placed a naked N7 on a table and only touched the screen?

Just got an email regarding the I blasin slim folio I ordered a few days ago. Looks like its detailed due to quality control issues.....

Just wanted to advise we are currently experiencing a slight delay on this product. We lengthened our quality control process after some reports of minor problems with this item by a small number of customers. We do apologize for the inconvenience, in most cases this should not actually impact your delivery date, as most items ship faster than estimated by Amazon, but it will impact how soon it gets to shipping.
