Antonline or something like that.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] ProudSikh:
When I go to checkout shipping and handling is $20. Did you end up paying a total of $40 for the case? I think that's he since the cade is worth 20 so I'm going to wait.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] eyecon82:
I paid about $21. Shipping was free for me
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] ProudSikh:
Hmmm strange. Can you try checking out again and see what the review order page says? Mine says 21 for the case and 20 for shipping and handling and I've tried it from 4 different devices.

Did you receive your case? If so what do you think about it?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] berardi:
no offense to anyone, but all of these cases seem absolutely terrible cheap chinese garbage that will disintegrate into dust within a month. On top of that, I don't want all this complicated covers, nobs, straps, and all.

Are there any cases available that are just a secure back side in case of dropping? this is my old one for OG nexus:

http://www.amazon.com/computers-accessories/dp/B009T0FHR8

If not, can someone recommend a few options for slip cases?

I have my new nexus but I may not use it for a few weeks or even a month. I also want to install CyanogenMod on it asap... but it's not available yet. No fun! :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] andyahs:
The Nexus just came out hence the cheap cases until the market catches up. Only the iphone gets cases long before the phone appears.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] eyecon82:
Not yet.

According to Asus support there is no screen wake feature on the "Premium" case
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] huckjam:
Yeah man the Devicewear "The Ridge" case is the best! I really hope they put out a new verions for Gen.2. I've gone through 4 different cases trying to find something that I really liked and this was it, it has the hard clam-shell back that the nexus 7 snaps into perfectly and then 5 slots built into the cover to allow it to stand and it also folds into a keyboard tilt. I absolutely love this case there is no overlapping leather around the bezel that drives me nuts I don't even know how company's can consider putting out a case that has an inch of leather around the glass like that makes it look like you picked it up at a flea market in the bargain bin. Anyway ive been using the Devicewear "the ridge" case since around August and its still looks great and is holding up great despite it being in my back pocket everywhere I go, I dont think ive left the house even one time since I got it that i didnt take it with me and its been dropped multiple times and it still looks good as new thanks to the awesome case.

:/

I dunno. Those look cool but not any cooler than most others I've seen. Yet they're between 35 and 100 dollars...I think I'm going to get a cheap Poetic case and see how it does. That cheaper price tag is just too tantalizing.

http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-KeyBoo...sr=8-6&keywords=poetic+keybook+google+nexus+7
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] detonation:
But none of these cases are going to be available for 2-3 weeks...by that time the name brand ones should be coming out.

Your best bet for the time being is to just go pick up a cheap tablet sleeve for use until the real cases come out.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] eyecon82:
But the official ones even suck

The premium cover won't even have a auto wake/lock
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] UWRF:
Where did you hear that? These 5 dollar cases claim to have it... Why wouldn't asus' model have it?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Cozmo85:
Asus doesn't advertise it with any of their cases and they didn't have it last year either.

asus travel cover

just got it last night and shipped it back to amazon this morning. looks like a $4 cover instead of the $20 I paid. doesn't give me much confidence that the premium one will be great...ordered the portenzo hardback instead, $10 more than the travel but no sales tax & looks to be good quality
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] detonation:
By real I just meant the more name brand ones like Otterbox, Seidio, Speck, etc. They cost a little more than these cheapo chinese ones, but I'll gladly pay more for something that fits great, looks good, and won't fall apart.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] DH in DC:
Sorry I can't post links or a picture, but there appears to be another premium cover by Asus, spotted via Nordic Hardware. It looks like a different cover than the first version -- it's leather, doesn't seem to bend, and comes in four colors -- including red and orange -- not just black and white. You can find the info at slashgear, searching "nexus 7 premium cover and dock"
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] eyecon82:

The iLLumishield screen protectors arrived today, but I haven't applied one yet. I ordered it on Amazon on 7/27. Shipped (USPS) on 7/30. Arrived 7/31, because the vendor and I are both in Socal.

Is the 2nd hole near the front camera from the light sensor? I didn't know there was a sensor there (blends in)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] detonation:
Those are for the original N7...article date is 7/31/2012 ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sfhub:
Yeah, it is the light sensor. I'm surprised they added a cutout for the notification light. Even the light sensor probably wasn't needed. I don't even like the one for the FFC. It isn't like the front camera is really hi-res and excellent quality. It works find through a shield for its purpose.

It is much cleaner to have a solid sheet. I used to think it would interfere with the light sensor and FFC on my phone, but the solid sheet has worked great.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] fceeviper:
So only Gamestop is the only online store taking preorders for the ASUS official premium cover?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] yanksrock1000:

Thanks for pointing it out. I'm mobile and it was a sloppy search job
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Fulbring:
eBay there is this one guy who is selling a decent Nexus 7 case for 10 bucks. I picked that one up. The prices manufacturers put on these cases are ridiculous, although I might go and pick one up from Best buy just for protection for now.

Thanks for the info tho :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] thunderbolt33:
For those who ordered the ASUS New Nexus 7 FHD Official Screen Protector - Matte and Glossy Kit, did you guys do shipped and sold from Amazon or from antonline? Amazon sells cheaper but wont ship for another "2-4 weeks"!, while the other vendor is shipping now! Should I save money and wait or dish out 4 more dollars and get it sooner?

EDIT: I also went ahead and purchased the MoKo Slim-Fit with the red carbon fiber, so sad that I have to wait til the 20th for shipping!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] RickLyons74:
Please post some pictures after you install that Illumishield protector... I have the same one on its way, and I'm not too stoked about the notification light being cut out.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] michaelg1030:
Those cut outs on the SP kind of stick. Just another spot where dust can get under.

I wonder if anyone would be willing to make an SP with no cut outs. Like someone else said I'm sure the FFC wouldn't be affected much by a SP covering it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] UWRF:
I bought two pack of screen covers for the Motorola Xoom and I am going to cut them to fit. Boom, no holes.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] C2Q:
Any cases that are similar to the iPad smart cover case? Really slim with an auto wake feature that actually has GOOD build quality? It's amazing how hard it is to find something like that. The ASUS premium cover looks like exactly what I would want, but it would need auto wake to justify the super high price.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] HKSpeed:
Edit: replaced original pics with better ones.

Notable things about this screen protector:

Most dry screen protectors have a protective film/backing on both sides. This has it only on 1 side. So I scratched the screen protector as I squeegeed out the air bubbles with the included card.

This screen protector is far less slippery than the bare screen, so screen touches more responsive and accurate. Also adds more grip when I hold it single handed.

Aligning the holes with the camera and notification light was a PITA because the tablet screen is so slick. The screen protector (before I peeled off the backing) kept sliding around when I was trying to pre-align it.

I've installed dozens of screen protectors over the years on numerous devices. this screen protector is like all other dry types. my only real complaint is the protective film/backing only on 1 side. They get the job done, so I don't feel the need to buy other types when alternatives become available.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] C2Q:
^ Which screen protector is this?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] UWRF:
It's a platinum edged, diamond crystal limited edition by Asus.

Sorry that was rude. It's the iLLumishield. It's on this thread like ten posts up.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] HKSpeed:
illumishield. See previous page of this thread for link to amazon.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] player911:
Does the official SP have a hole for the camera or is it one whole sheet? I'd prefer no wholes. I can't tell from the picture. I think the picture on amazon showed a hole.

Mine shipped out yesterday, I should have them by tomorrow or Friday. I plan on using the Matte. They're supposed to resist fingerprints. Do they?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] rafa3L:
I've got a pack of the Illumishield protectors on the way too. Do you notice holes when you're using it? I'm thinking all the light in the photo makes it look worse than it really is.

This naked screen is really slick/slippery, I'm looking forward to the feel of the protector.

Sent from my Nexus 7 2
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] wingzero1:
It actually has two holes one for camera and one for the sensor right above it. As for fingerprints, don't know if there is a difference between glossy and matte but glossy definitely accumulates fingerprints.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] dadoc04:
glossy usually allows the screen to remain nice and sharp, but still accumulates fingerprints. The matte versions take away from clarity, but prevent fingerprints. Thats the trade-off

I have a lot of stylus. I bought 10 for $5(I think) on ebay, bought an iHome pen and stylus combo at TJMaxx, and have received many with different ebay purchases over the years (full length and stubby). My parents each have a Bamboo stylus that they use with their Kindle Fires, it works on all of my devices too. Every single stylus I have works perfect with my '13 N7, Asus Infinity, Samsung Note 2, both Evo LTEs, Evo 3D, and both of my parents' Kindle Fires . No difference in function/usability between any of these devices. Not sure why some stylus aren't working with the '13 N7, but I've yet to have a single issue with any of the various brand stylus I own. Also, I read someone say that their Bamboo stylus doesn't work with their '13 N7. Does Bamboo make a variety of stylus? Both that my parents have, they both have identical Bamboo stylus, work just fine with all of my devices.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] HKSpeed:
Its the same as any dry screen protector. this one isnt any different in regards to installation.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] stanglifemike:
Here's one of the Bamboo stylus that my parents have. This is the one I was referring to in my previous post, saying that it works just fine with the '13 N7. I tried both of theirs too, so it definitely wasn't just a fluke. Just posting pics in case anyone is interested in getting one of these. Honestly though, it doesn't work any better, or any different, than any of my no name stylus that I got from ebay. So I really don't see the point in spending the extra money for one of these, instead of a no name stylus from ebay. If you're just wanting a stylus now an don't want to wait on shipping from ebay, then I could see getting the Bamboo from your local Best Buy (or another luck retailer that carries this stylus). That's the reason my parents each have the Bamboo stylus. My Dad bought them each a Bamboo stylus from Best Buy when he bought their Kindle Fires. I've since given them each a stylus that I got from ebay when I bought the bundle of 10. They say that the eBay stylus works just as well as the Bamboo stylus does too.

I decided to keep things simple and ended up purchasing this case at Amazon along with a stylus.

DB Case for New Asus Google Nexus 7 II 2013 Edition Cover Case in Color Red

This comes with a lanyard too.

There's a pocket on the front that should easily store my stylus, OTG cable and flash drive.

I've never found the need for a shield since I normally use the stylus not my fingers when I operate a tablet.

ASUS New Nexus 7 FHD Official Screen Protector - Matte and Glossy Kit
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] smirkis:
after owning the first travel cover, no thanks. its flimsy and you always have to hold open that flap. and the flap serves no purpose.

for what it's worth, most sellers are calling the new N7 "Nexus 7 FHD". hopefully they all follow that title to help with finding the right case.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Wadech:
I have my fingers crossed VERY hard that out of print clothing will make a case for the new Nexus. I used their old one on my V1 Nexus and it looked great and protected the tablet very well.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] feron:
I love my portenzo book case, looks like a steno book.

Sadly, the new model is too large.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Melarsa:
My favorite case for the original Nexus 7 was the Speck FitFolio. I was hoping they'd make a similar version for the Nexus 7 FHD or 2013 or whatever we're calling it. Their website said "Motorola Droid and Nexus 7 2013 cases are coming soon" with a link to sign up for email notifications when they're ready, so that's good news!

I just hope they can get them out quickly. Last time I ended up buying a cheapo Amazon TPU case because nothing else was available when I got the tablet, then I ended up buying the overpriced ASUS Travel Case, and then finally higher quality cases with stands and magnets and such started coming out. It would be nice to have some of the higher quality options ready right out of the gate so I don't end up wasting money on interim crappy cases or worse, risk walking around with it uncovered and dropping it before the good stuff is ready.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Starfire-1:
I have a Treegloo Slimline case for my original Nexus 7 and I tried to use it for the 2013 model. As expected with the slimmer model, there's too much air between the cover and the screen. But what worries me most about these sticky cases (although I love them) is the back of the new Nexus seems to be curved slightly - not flat like the original. I'm concerned that the sticky tape may just grab the middle and not be as firm of a grip.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] player911:
I had a Portenzo in my N7 and loved it. Held up really good during my travels. I've already been communicating to them about my interest. They'll figure out a working solution if there is an issue with the back.

My last Portenzo never came off after tons of usage. I'm waiting till mine comes tomorrow to check it out.

I'd rather get a SGP ScreenProtector when they come out.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Starfire-1:
It's good to hear that you've been chatting with them. I really want this to work, especially with the stereo speakers out the back (don't want to muffle the sound). The camera hole is another engineering trick as it probably needs to be pretty big (as the lens seems placed back a little) and there won't be too much support for the elastic as it wraps around the top and back.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] tdagraca:
Spigen probably won't make any. They have a lot of cases and accessories for what the crowd mainly goes for or what they anticipate will be hot releases. Samsung, Sony and of course iPhone. But I would love a Spigen case.

I personally bought the Asus travel cover.. Might as well spend 22.99 or whatever and get it until some really nice cases come out.. That Way by December you won't have $200 down the drain on different cases because something better and better came out. The Asus travel cover covers all the corners and it's snug... Shock absorption and has a cover.. Might be flimsy but it does the job...... Keyword everyone..... For NOW.
