Because I'm pretty sure the reviews you see are for the n10 as they just added the n7 to the device option.

Price?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] BTT8:
That's a nice looking case. I rather prefer cases that don't give the bezel. What are some decent alternative options?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] HKSpeed:
How about this one?

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E38S6SI
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] BTT8:
That one she's a bit. The poetic case is ideal but in not too sure about the quality of it. Like the person said, I use pie control so it would be ideal to not cover the bezel at all.

Nylon, slim, and amazon prime for $5......winner!!!!

Extra points if it will work with a case on the nexus... What do u think?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] TheNeck:
they are just like xtremeguard/bestskinsever/ect.

so they are a wet application, the only problem i have with a wet application for the back are the corners, they are a pain to get them just right.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] berardi:
This looks great also.

Ordered... Thanks!!

After I installed it, the screen felt a touch grippy so I grabbed a paper towel that was a little damp and wiped the whole screen down and after doing so it feels perfect, like there's nothing on it at all.

Got this baby yesterday.

Thanks for the suggestion man!

I will keep my Nexus bare and just put it in here when not in use.

If I ever drop it and break it my 3 year SquareTrade insurance will take care of it.

Now I just need a dock with Qi charging! :D

I saw that video and was about to buy until I read some of the reviews... I don't think it's as big as the guy in the video wants us to think it is. I will wait til some of you report back when you get it before I purchase.

I just ordered the Mivizu Shell Sleeve Case and it'll be here Tuesday. Unfortunately I don't think I'll have my actual N7 till next week, but I can let you all know the build quality of the case at least lol.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] geckocavemen:
I really like the concept behind that sleeve. It looks like the tablet would slide right in and out, yet it also looks fairly sturdy and has a stand.

My problem finding something is that when I use the tablet I want to be able to easily and quickly remove it and then pop it back in when done. Having a cover that converts to a stand would be a big plus as well. I just wish this was made specifically for our 2013 Nexus 7 rather than the old Nexus. Based on the dimensions it might work but it would be a tight fit as well and may not protect the top and bottom edge as well.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] JoeJags:
Well here's a case I found about an hour ago, at Wal-Mart no less. It's a little pricey at $35, but it is in stock, in three or four colors. Two little problems with it (to me), but not necessarily a deal breaker. No camera cutout (no real biggie to me), and the cutout for the headphones isn't quite right (again not a big deal to me). The auto-wake function works perfectly, and the stand functions work very well too. I thought at first, this was for the older model, but the dimensions fit perfectly, where the older model would have been too short and too wide, in this case. It seems to be pretty well made. But not sure if I will be keeping it or not. Gonna try it out for a couple of days. I have the Poetic case on order to come in at the end of the month. This may serve till then.

Here are some pics......

Edit: It is made by M-Edge.......with lifetime warranty (with domestic ph# on the box).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] boricua95:
I'm using the targus case best buy had for the old nexus, works for now until a good case comes out that I like. Hopefully otterbox makes one soon.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] spicydicy:
Just ordered one. Goes well with my tf700 and it's versa sleeve. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] 1meanrex:
I found that at Walmart too but I was worried about the fact that it didn't secure both sides. It seemed like if for some reason I accidentally picked it up wrong while open would it just slip right out?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] vietn95:
I am definitely getting a durable case after seeing this drop test.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] ocostich:
I'd buy the Poetic because they do look exactly the same and the warranty is longer.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] jonovw:
Yeah I thought the same aye. Didn't exactly survive that well.

My worry about zipper sleeves is that it can scratch the screen if you're not careful

---------- Post added at 03:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 AM ----------

You sure that's not for the older model? You can also fit it into the older model...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] JoeJags:
You sure that's not for the older model? You can also fit it into the older model...

Not really sure. It may be. But it fits the new one pretty perfectly. Either way, it will suffice till the Poetic case comes in.....
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] spielnicht:
Just got my Asus Travel Cover from Amazon and it's pure rubbish. I got it to use while I wait for the Asus Premium Cover to come out, but I'm not even sure I'll use it that long. I had the Asus Travel Cover for my original N7 and I actually liked it, was durable and thick enough to stick to the device. However, the new one is just awful. The edges are paper thin that the device keeps coming out. If I didn't get it directly from Amazon, I would have thought it was counterfeit. I can't even press the power or volume buttons without the damn thing sliding everywhere.

Moral of the post, the Asus Travel Cover sucks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] dadoc04:

For anyone who ordered the http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E4OL48K/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I was wondering, the shiny metal part of that case will it come in contact with the tablet? I'd rather have it not completely scratch it up.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] eyecon82:
Not really sure. It may be. But it fits the new one pretty perfectly. Either way, it will suffice till the Poetic case comes in.....

The older generation case fit perfectly for it too... Because the elastic part stretches fairly easily. I doubt it's the newer one, or there would be a camera hole...

---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

Agreed, that was my concern too, but someone stated you can slide that metal part right off since it isn't glued, rather it is clamped on. That's what I plan on doing

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 AM ----------

Mine seems to sit fairly well on it. It only seems to slide off when I bend the cover back putting tension on the left edge
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] bckrupps:
mine shipped today. finally something on the way. did you get yours yet?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] HKSpeed:
It appears most of the various case listings on Amazon (poetic, moko, ibasen, etc) updated their images with real photos instead of renderings. On some items you have to click on an alternate color (not black) to see the new photos. encouraging. :victory:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] GTDarthYoda:
Got my Finite Folio Case today.

Nothing too special. It's a case.

I will say the sides don't quite stay flat... They bow up a bit.

Frustrating but maybe they will flatten out over time.

Also the binding part is stiff but it was the same way with my first gen Nexus 7 Finite Case so I know it will loosen up.

I'm considering the Poetic Slimline ( http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimline-Portfolio-Automatically-Manufacturer/dp/B008NMCPTQ ) for my Nexus, especially with the cheap price, but I'm not so sure about that Poetic logo in there bottom right corner (you can't see it in the pictures, to see what it looks like check out the one for the Nexus 7 [2012], they're practically identical). Anyone agree? :confused:

So, I can't find a link for it. But I was at my local Staples and they had a Tzumi Universal 7" Tablet Case for 15 even. Figured I would keep it until my Mako shows up.

Not the best case (almost too small, no camera cutout) but it's working quite nice.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] KevinZero:
I just bought this case from Walmart as well and it's definitely for the first gen model. I'll be taking it back soon because it blocks the headphone jack and there's no cut out for the rear camera. The latter isn't important but I use the tablet to listen to podcasts so that part's the deal-breaker for me. You can flip it around but then the auto on/off mechanism doesn't work. No biggie though, still waiting for the Moko to ship.

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------

Yeah the Poetic logo is way too prominent for me. Luckily there are a bunch of companies using these case designs.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] indianajonze:
well i decided that i can't wait for the moko/poetic cases (they're both still on order), so i took some advice here and ordered this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Mivizu-Shell-Sleeve-Google-Nexus/dp/B008RQ10VC/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

as well as this one:

http://www.amazon.com/CaseCrown-Suede-Sleeve-Black-Apple/dp/B009OT9TNM/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

they're both arriving tomorrow so i'll report back and do a quick comparison. case crown makes an identical sleeve for the nexus 10, which i own and LOVE. just about perfect for my needs, and when i'm traveling i slip the N10 into its poetic slimline case and put it in the case crown with zero issues. expecting the same sort of love from the new case for the N7
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Nexcellent:
It's really not that bad, pretty much the same as the travel cover for the original N7. Mine sits nice and snug, no moving around when pressing buttons, perhaps exchange for a new one?

Hi:

I just received my I-Blason Hand Strap Case. It's similar to my Caseen Hand-Strap case for my Nexus 2012. All the cut-outs are in the right place and it seems to reasonably sturdy. Time will tell how well it holds out. Any questions?

Well I got my new Mivizu sleeve.

http://www.amazon.com/Mivizu-Shell-Sleeve-Google-Nexus/dp/B008RQ10VC

I ended up paying 5 bucks with free one day (Prime) shipping. I ordered Sunday and got it literally Monday at 8 AM.

Here I will post pictures and what I think of it so far.

Empty Case

Case with Nexus inside

Inside view, empty

Inside view with Nexus inside

Inside view with Nexus inside

Nexus on top of sleeve

Sleeve with Nexus and stock charger inside

Sleeve with Nexus and stock charger inside

Sleeve with Nexus and just stock USB cable (No AC Adapter)

Over all, it is a great sleeve. For the 5 dollars I paid, it is 100% worth it.

The only negative I can see, is that the AC charger adapter does not really fit. Apart from that, the build quality is good enough and the protection seems good.

If you have any questions, let me know!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] suprmallet:
For $6 after tax I can live with a logo on the front. The case looks sturdy and the price is right.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Garrett92C:
Thanks for the pics! I just ordered mine. I wasn't really looking for a sleeve, but every case I've seen so far (Poetic, Moko, etc) look low-quality and terrible. This Mivizu will hold me over until the real cases start showing up.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] thenrik:
Hi:

The tablet is held in the case by a three inch strap that folds under the tablet, parallel to the hand strap. The edges look like they stay down to me. I'll be taking my tablet out for the first time tomorrow. Time will tell.

Can you post some pics?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] indianajonze:
ok i got them. first impressions. mivizu is a very nice case, as was documented here earlier. has tons of padding and is large enough to fit the N7 with PLENTY of room to spare. couple of things i don't like. 1) there may be TOO much padding. it's a bit bulky. 2) the case opens via the top 1/3 of the case, which for me makes getting the tablet in and out of it a bit of a chore. you actively have to shove the tab into the case with this setup

casecrown: PERFECT fit for the N7 FHD. i mean perfect. less bulky than the mivizu. same height, but about 1cm thinner in width. as its less bulky it has far less padding than the mivizu. its still there and would do a fine job in a backpack, but it's just not as robust as the mivizu. the case opening covers the entire right side of the case, so getting the tablet in and out is much easier (to me) than with the mivizu.

for sure i'm going to keep both, and i'll update as i have more time with them (and after i get the poetic/moko cases), but for me as of this moment the casecrown case is the clear winner if you prefer a great zip case for your N7 with very minimal bulk
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] thecdn:
My experience is the same as that of spielnicht. The Asus travel case I have is crap. The fit is so bad I have to search for the power button every time I want to use it and have to move the case out of the way when I want to plug in the power cord. I wasn't expecting much, just something to tide me over till Seidio/Trident/Otterbox came out with something truly protective, but Asus should be embarrassed putting out something so bad for their own wonderful device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] zeppelin101:
How long do you think it will take until the good 3rd party cases come out? Also, isn't Asus going to release some 'premium' case for the N7 2013?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] thecdn:
I don't know. Yesterday I signed up for the newsletters from Seidio/Trident/Otterbox so I can react when they put the word out. I really like the Seidio Active case with cover I have for my original N7 so I'm hoping they put something out soon.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Yes ASUS has a premium case coming out. You can pre-order it somewhere

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] danootz:
Gamestop (online) is taking preorders for the ASUS Premium cover.

$39.99, with an estimated date of 9/3

They had it up for preorder before with a release date of 8/2, but it bumped after that date arrived.

I'm just hoping it actually comes out. I read somewhere that there were ASUS accessories announced for the original Nexus 7 that never saw the light of day.

There's a site (Exacliber, I think) that is advertising some bundle of the N7 + the official premium cover, but it's backordered.

It's killing me that the ASUS travel cover couldn't have a front cover that could bend into position to act as a stand.

HP made a decent bare minimum case for the Touchpad, which the ASUS travel case is nearly identical to, except you could have two viewing angles when flipping the cover back. Don't know why the same couldn't have been done for the N7.

The best one will be the BobjGear case when available.

Check Amazon for it. Might be a month, but well worth the wait.

The Gen1 case:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] spielnicht:
Sweet!

Another downside of the Travel Cover...hopefully not with the premium...it's pushing up on the edges of the Asus screen protector...so I just took it off and returning it. I can manage 3 weeks without a case knowing now that the premium cover is gonna be available then.

Paperwhite-like case for Nexus 7?

I am very impressed with Amazon's own Paperwhite case, and would love it if someone were to make one just like it for the new Nexus 7 (2013).

I think it would be very amenable to such a case, given its similar form-factor, and I love the sturdy, but rubberized edges it has, as well as the complete protection. None of the proposed cases I've seen so far seem to come close to the near-perfect Paperwhite case. Thoughts?

Wow, that Devicewear case looks damn near perfect. I just saw a Youtube video for the iPad Mini version and I'm pretty much sold on it.

How much bulk does it add to your N7? More specifically, how thick is that plastic backing?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Philaphlous:
I'll definitely be holding out to see what the Asus 'premium' cover will be and its quality. I really want a very thin case but one that has a screen cover... I have a supcase for my nexus 7 1st gen and it jast made it too bulky and heavy...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] rafa3L:
The plastic backing is not too thick at all. But notice some of the 'vegan leather' also wraps around to the back. The backing plus the front cover does add some bulk, but I like the bit of drop protection it provides, plus screen protection, plus it's a stand.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] fadeout:
I treat the N7 like a big phone so I'm still on the hunt for some decent relatively thin TPU cases or something thats close. I can't stand folio cases.

Slimbook and Keybook Dropped on the 6th

:good: Hey, dunno if people heard or not but the slimbook and keybook Poetic cases dropped on Monday. The other ones still have a wait time. :fingers-crossed: Personally, I'm waiting on the GraphGrip which drops the 25th.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] HKSpeed:
so Poetic got them on Monday? how do you know? amazon lists the Slimbook for a 8/15 release. hopefully you're right and I get my Slimbook by the end of this week (I'm in socal).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] TheManiest:
Good call, they should change that. On Monday I was looking into doing a review for them, and I reached out to their info team. They told me those cases were the only ones available because they were dropping on that day, the 6th -- despite what Amazon says. Whereas the others are dropping on dates consistent with what Amazon says. So, yes. Hopefully you will get your slimbook soon. I'm in SoCal as well! :good: :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] KevinZero:
Thanks for the pics. Do you find the parts where the bezel is covered annoying? I've been reluctant to try cases like that, opting for the corner clip style that I've used before and liked.

Also on a separate note, Best Buy retail stores don't have any 2nd Gen cases but the shelf tags for the first nexus say "1st gen nexus 7" now, hinting they're going to be getting 2nd Gen cases in eventually. Their store layout here is ridiculous though. The Samsung, Kindle and Nexus cases are all mixed together in 3 separate tiny aisles. No wonder they're having trouble. And yet there are seemingly 10 guys with earpieces walking around trying to sell you on the things these cases protect.
