Hey everyone. I thought I'd share my review of my slip case sleeve by Waterfield.

http://www.sfbags.com/products/tablet-cases/tablet-slipcase.php

I was mainly looking for a sleeve to protect my tablet in my bag while I'm traveling, otherwise I like my tablet completely naked. This case is perfect for a naked nexus 7! The fit is snug enough to prevent the tablet from slipping out, but the pull tab makes it wonderfully easy to pull out. You might be able to get away with a slim case because the material has a little bit of stretch, but don't expect it to house anything else. The build quality is amazing, including the professional stitching, and the look is simple yet elegant. The inside is made of soft material, but one side is filled with a type of hard cardboard. I'd recommend putting your screen towards this side for added protection, but overall the thickness is good. I'd recommend this product to anyone who wants a simple, professional premium sleeve for a naked nexus 7. The product is a bit on the pricey side but I'd say it's absolutely worth it. Here are some pictures. Sorry about the quality, it comes from my aging Galaxy Nexus :p Feel free to PM me with any questions you have. Cheers!!

Both of these are available again.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] geckocavemen:
Just ordered the top one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0060RE4EA/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1...though it won't ship until Monday. Hard to beat $0.99 for a travel case that also has an extra pocket that will hold a usb-otg cable, flash drive, and maybe the charger. I'll take pics and report back once I get it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] BlueGoldAce:
I second this case, I have the silver version and it is all around a great sleeve, very high quality. It's made in the US, as an added plus.

My only correction to the above post is the cardboard he mentions is a "high impact" plastic mean to protect your screen... So yes that side is where your screen should be oriented.

I got the jcase zipper pouch yesterday. I'll review it soon.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] miketunes:
Anyone have the dimensions on this - I have a similiar 7" sleeve, but it's a little wide for my nexus7. I wonder if this fits tighter or I should wait a bit for more narrow sleeves?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] timtlm:
I've been searching for a decent sleeve, and what I'm looking for is something with a magnetic closure. I ended up coming across this one that also acts as a stand. I'm tempted to order one, but can't find any reviews on youtube.

I also found this nice leather one, but not a stand.

Keeping my eye on this thread. I like downtown's sleeve, but I am concerned that it will be too small. Let me know how the stretching goes Zargon.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] ccmichael:
I just received my sfbags sleeve yesterday, and I agree with everything already said about it. Very happy with this purchase. Still keeping my nybuilt sleeve for whenever a good clamshell keyboard gets made for the N7.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] michaelg1030:
The new suitable slim leather is nice. I already ordered folio style case that should be in on Saturday. If I don't like it, I will be ordering this one. Only thing is they don't list the new 7 as an option, so I will have to pick out which one has the closet size and go with that (I think iPad mini and kindle fire are close in size to N7).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] timtlm:
I would bet that the case is actually generic, and all the options are just for show to make buyers more comfortable. I'm guessing that they know for sure those devices fit the case. Also, in the description it says:

So, if they do actually have various sizes, they will help you pick the right one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] michaelg1030:
Yeah you are probably right. I keep going back and forth to wanting a case and not wanting a case. So once my case comes in I'll see how I like it. I'm thinking I'll be buying this sleeve with some sticker boy skins.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Swarles:
Looks like an awesome case. Quick side point, which clock widget is that and what ROM are you running?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] luckywabbit:
After your review, some other positive comments, and some videos on their site, I made an easy decision to get this. The difficult decision was which color! :eek: I decided on silver.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Mikey503:
UCCW with the skin "circle clock" on the play store. I'm running cm10.2 with kangs by DJLamontagnelll

Hope you like the case as much as I do :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] TheNeck:
thanks for the review and pics.

this sleeve looks amazing, im tempted to get one now, even if its a little pricey. i also like that it's made in the USA as well.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] luckywabbit:
Got it today. Very nice. I am only worried about drop protection on the top but I will baby it. It also works with qi charging using a Samsung charger though I can't tell how efficient thee charge is since the distance is farther. I'll probably have to take it out to charge. Hope the material can handle the current :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] haloeight:
I have this too, purchased for the first Nexus 7. I like the build quality (leather, hard plastic inserts to protect further) but for me it seems the fit on the new Nexus 7 is really tight to the point it's difficult to get back out. Got a Timbuk2 Envelope Sleeve that fits a little better but isn't as padded / protected. It's for the Kindle Fire but fits the new Nexus 7.

http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/products/kindle-fire-keyboard-envelope-sleeve/2343140

Edit: Also want to give a shout out for SF Bags / Waterfield Designs. Have a couple of their bags and they make bulletproof gear.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] michaelg1030:
Anyone use this sleeve? I bought a slim case and didn't like the extra bulk it added. Thinking this is a great option since I still get a stand. Not sure if portrait mode would be possible though.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] michaelg1030:
Just found these sleeves for $0.99 shipped with prime.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] TheNeck:
i received the deluxe sleeve already and it fits the n7 perfectly. i also got those other 2 as well but havent received them yet. for .99 you can't beat getting all 3 of them.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] teh roxxorz:
Soooo. yea, I'm a little late.

Sorry to hear about your nephew - hope he's well.

Also looks good, but yea, a little roomy in there [like you said]. You don't find the velcro to be well..velcro? like it does't come undone or anything?

---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

I think that definitely just won me over. Just ordered it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] KyleKatastrophe:
No problem at all man.

He was actually being born :D

Its not Velcro, the folding over keeps it all pretty tight. I'll take some pics of that area when I get a chance and maybe a small video too.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] luckywabbit:
Hope you enjoy it. Always feels good to use your device naked so having a good sleeve to take in and out is handy. Now I have to decide on getting a dbrand skin for the back of my device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] teh roxxorz:
Ah okay - it appeared to be velcro. I appreciate it. Also, congrats!

Thanks, it looks awesome. And I have to agree. When I'm using it, I don't need it entrapped in a folio case, etc. Just needs to be protected when it's in my pocket. i won't put it in a bag cause I had no sleeve for it. lol.

As so for a skin, gotta get a custom one, vinyl, and like a scene from the windwaker, or some other epic moment.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Did you guys see that the official Asus pouch was removed from the playstore. Looks like another playstore product that reached its death before even seeing the light of day http://phandroid.com/2013/08/09/official-nexus-7-no-longer-available-on-google-play/

>^.^< Sent from meow HTC One which is like catnip to me atm
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] timtlm:
That looks a lot like the ones I found on ebay. I do like how the flap doesn't look as large. I'm confused by the picture that shows it being used as a stand from the front. Somehow there's a lip that folds up that creates the base of the stand? I con't figure out how it folds. Also, unfortunately no reviews.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] teh roxxorz:
If you folded in vertically, and then tried to pull the flap out, and then over, it might work for portrait. But then idk if you'd have enough of a base to make it stand safely.

---------- Post added at 10:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

I did, and made me saaaad. I was holding out, then came back here to check, and decided on the waterfield case.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] michaelg1030:
Yeah I was puzzled by that as well. There are no crease marks on the case that indicates it fold that way.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] michaelg1030:
I just ordered this sleeve/stand. Its different than the one I found earlier. I like the way it folds better. I'll post a review once it arrives (Wednesday). And its $5 cheaper.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] slider112:
Thanks so much for this review and pics. This sleeve looks like exactly what I'm looking for.

One question though: how soft is the interior lining? Is it microfiber or felt or something similarly as soft and plush? Reason I'm asking is it's a huge pet peeve of mine; cases/sleeves that don't have soft interiors. I've run across many... many sleeves that just have a basic nylon interior. I have no idea how you could make a sleeve or case for any electronic equipment, but tablets in particular, in some cases costing $30, $40, $50... (I'm looking at you DODOcase...) and not have a baby soft interior to protect the screen and body. From your pic it looks like it's good, but wanted to double check before committing.

Any further info would be great, thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Mikey503:
I'm not exactly sure what the inside material is made of but it's closer to felt/microfiber. What I can tell you is that it is very soft and also lightly padded. Another bonus feature that some might not know is that the outside is waterproof =P
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] teh roxxorz:
If you listen to the video, he does note that the 'front' of the case [with the impact plastic] is suede, with cushion behind it. So I would guess the 'back' is either a suede / microfiber with padding.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] slider112:
Sold. Thanks very much! I know their video pretty much stated the same, but I was looking for the opinion of someone who didn't work for the company and actually owned it and had it in hand. Looks great! :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] timtlm:
That looks like the ebay one I originally posted, but a better price. Let me know what you think of it. I'm a little concerned with the thickness of the flap.

I also found this ASUS sleeve/stand. More than I want to spend, but looks nice:

http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-7-Inch-Tablet-Sleeve-Stand-Black/dp/B00CGTTXDS/

EDIT: amazon sells this for $20 with prime shipping, but oos (ships 2-3 weeks).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] antwan30184:
I like the snug fit. Very happy with the initial quality and feel. Fits new nexus 7 snug and tight with plenty of padding good for my wife's purse or my laptop bag
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sparhawk6:
I ordered the New Suitable sleeve, found here, in the Black Onyx model:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Suitabl...-Pouch-Bag-Protector-for-Tablet-/251309264099

Overall, I like it. It smells like real leather (they claim that it is). The Nexus 7 is snug inside, but not too hard to take in and out. I ordered it on the 8th, it came today.

I ordered the Nexus 7 model, but I did specify that I owned the Nexus 7 2013 tablet.

The case works as a stand, but it appears that the leather will take some "working", as it doesn't stay in the triangle formation too well (the leather is too tough and pulls itself back to a flat position, unless I really stick it). I think that will change over time with more use. Also, I wish it was a little thinner.

Here are some pics:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] michaelg1030:
Yeah I saw that Asus one. A little more than I want to spend on a sleeve. I'll post a review once I get it (Wednesday).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] michaelg1030:
Just got these two sleeves in today. (Pics will be up later, I'm having issues uploading them.)

I like the folding one and it is almost the perfect sleeve. Folding works and stays together just fine. Putting it in landscape ore portrait both feel good and the two grooves are nice for different viewing angles. So it is a little hard getting the tablet out of the case. It feels like the material gripes it somewhat. The other thing is I wish it was a little narrower. The case is about an inch or two bigger than the tablet. Length is fine.

2nd sleeve is just a neoprene sleeve. Its not great. Its a little too short for the N7. It works but its nothing special. If all you want is a sleeve then this would be fine for you. It does feel secure enough to throw it in a bag with other items and it has a zipper on one side. I likely won't use it as I prefer the folding option of the other one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] valdesr11:
Found this one and I thought I should share it. Havent seen it put up yet:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] teh roxxorz:
If you look at the top of the page, you'll see I ordered the slip case from sfbags. I want to say that the case is great. If anyone wants pics, let me know.

sent from the 7th nexus of 2013
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] oldtimer42:
Pics of your sfbags case please and any new thoughts about it.

I want their smart case but it's not out available for the 2013.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] ccmichael:
I got their slipcase a week ago, and I'm quite happy.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] michaelg1030:
Here are pics of the two sleeves I got. The first one I really like, just wish it was a tad narrower. The 2nd one was only $0.99 and its worth it, but I prefer the stand option so unlikely I will ever use the neoprene sleeve one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] timtlm:
That looks quite a bit wider than the "new suitable" sleeve from ebay that sparkhawk posted pictures of. I'll probably order a Black Noir one from ebay.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] michaelg1030:
Yeah you may be right. When you get the Black Noir one in, let us know the dimensions. I would have ordered that one, but I didn't want to wait for it to arrive.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] teh roxxorz:
Sure, give me a couple of minutes.

Edit: Added Pictures

Captioned:

1 > Can see the nexus and the slip sleeve [green I chose]

2 > The Nexus in the slip sleeve [partially exposed on purpose]. Also the black part [where i'm holding] is a pull tab, to help get the tablet out; that way you're not pressing on the screen when removing

3 > You can see the nexus in the case; pretty snug fit in there

4 > That 'bulge' is the impact plastic to help protect the screen on impact..that's the 'front' of the case

5 > Can see the lining. Padded on both sides, and when removing, it does help clean the screen, very nice and works

6 > Referring to #3, told ya it was pretty snug in there. Should it ever get vertigo, it should hold in there, unless there is some blatant shaking, and still you have to be intent on getting it out at that point.

Overall, i'm very happy with my purchase. The outer nylon is actually waterproof. Cushioned on both sides. They have great customer service [sfbags, where i ordered it from] - I noted on my shipment info to place a funny joke inside the sleeve. When I opened it, there was a Dilbert comic strip cutout in there. Epic. At 27$ is may be 'pricier' than others, but with the quality, you won't be going, 'Well that was a wasted purchase.' Highly recommended if you're looking for just a slip case.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Yadao:
I ordered one of each of these .99 cent pouches from amazon: (EDIT: they used to be .99 cents shipped from amazon, but it looks like Amazon ran out of stock)

1 - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0060REFOY/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

2 - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0060REPT4/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

3 - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0060RE4EA/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

#1 is the best fit out of the three and is the one I'm using. I also think it looks the best #2 doesn't fit the tablet, the tablet is too long. #3 fits a bit tight length wise, but since it's neoprene it stretches to fit easily.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] oldtimer42:
Thanks the roxxorz

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] valdesr11:
Sucks to know. I just ordered one last night via EBay. I guess the best bet is to get an actual case for it as well to get it a bit more thickness and extra protection to go along with the sleeve. Let me know what you think about the official google one. I was gonna get it but I didn't find enough pictures of it to go through with it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Yes I actually love this pouch but only cause I always have a case on my tablet. yyhd is 100% correct in saying that it's to big for just the tablet by itself but it's a perfect fit for my tablet plus a case. If you want some pics let me know and I'll take them for u.

Received the official playstore sleeve.

much nicer than the other one. fits more snuggly, but it's still a little bit big. i suppose that is because it can also house the previous gen Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] EG8196:
Looks very nice,

I am going to buy this one instead of the official premium cover
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] slider112:
Got this also; absolutely love it. Kind of stumbled upon it honestly, it wasn't even on my radar. Very high quality, looks and feels great. It's super thin and barely adds any bulk at all. The best part is that it literally fits the new Nexus 7 like a glove. No gaps, no sliding around inside, no wiggle room... solid. Couldn't be happier with it. :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] yyhd:
Sweet! I ordered that one on Saturday, should arrive today or tomorrow.

I typically end up ordering 4-5 cases/sleeves per tablet I buy because it takes me a few days using it to know if I really like it or not. Lol
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] slider112:
Funny, I'm the exact same way... it's just too hard to tell if I'll like it without having it in hand to test, so I buy 'em up then return the ones I don't want. Little bit of cash up front, but in the long run it's worth it to me. This is the fourth sleeve/case I've ordered and it's the keeper... the others have already been returned. :D

How does the Asus sleeve do when the N7 is held in portrait? Can the stand feature support this?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] junkinmytrunk426:
it stands in portrait and its somewhat sturdy, but it does make it top heavy. using it in portrait on a desk should be fine, but expanded amount of time might put extra stress on the tap that holds it in place.

On the plus side, you can charge it and use headphones without having to take it out. I still think it's fairly well protected. I may pull the trigger depending on how much I like the ebay case I should be getting today.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] FormeriPhoney:
I also got that sleeve. Excellent quality and 99 cents when I got it. Love the zipper front pouch too
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] timtlm:
I got the "new suitable" sleeve from eBay today in black noir. I'm starting to like it. It fits tighter than I would like. It takes a little breaking in to get the stand function to stick rolled up without the tablet on it. There are actually magnets to help hold it in stand mode, but you will still need to break it in. One problem is the magnets will turn the tablet on when you insert or remove it. I'll edit with pictures later.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] michaelg1030:
That looks like the same dimensions of my minisuit from amazon. Mine does the same with the magnets. Its not really an issue as it will time out on its own once in the sleeve if it does turn it on as you slide it in.
