I ordered one of the SLine ones for $2 on Amazon. It "shipped" yesterday but with no tracking and is not due to arrive for almost a month. I'm guessing it's because it's a preorder and they don't have them in yet, but it would have been nice to know that. Not to mention now that they've marked it as shipped (though I highly doubt it was) I can't cancel the order.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Droidguy987:
I emailed them. they were shipped from deutsche post. If you have some question or issue you can email joel@cruzellite.com and he will take good care of you.

This case looks pretty slick! I'm looking for something minimal that also isn't useless. Thanks for the review. Hope they ship to Canada!

If the XDA case was TPU like the other XDA cases I would be all over it... I feel like polycarbonate is more slippery than the naked device back

Welp. I could have had my case by now if I knew Prime would be an option on Amazon so soon. I want to take my tablet with me places! It's not leaving the house until it's in a case, lol.

on amazon, cruzerlite's delivery estimate is around 17-28 days.. is that accurate or can we get it way sooner than that? im hesitating on ordering one because of shipping time.. any reply would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Droidguy987:
if you order it via amazon prime you can get it in 2 days. Also most orders direct only take 10 days
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] detonation:
I think it's because the Sline ones (non prime eligible) are coming from China since they're the same generic ones you find on ebay. Kind of annoying they keep changing the price on them as well. Was $1 + $4 shipping, then 2 + 4, now 3 + 2.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] situman:
Just recieved the experience "clear" and it surprised me how not clear it is. Its not tacky like all other tpu cases so it slips in and out of back pockets easily. It also dug into my screen protector so anyone using a screen protector just becareful. Oh my preorder came with a multi angle stand which was a nice touch. I think cruzerlite will be my case brand of choice :)

It might seem like a negative review but its not. Its a very good case and highly recommended for something thin and light and protects well. Just becareful if u have a screen protector installed. :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] namato:
Ordered the smoke androidified from amazon. Fits like a glove, and the cutouts are aligned perfectly. My only point of worry is the material is a bit soft, and may stretch out after a while. Other than that it's a great case.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Yadao:
I finally got my Smoke Experience case. Fits very nice. I only wish the front lip was done in a smooth finish like the A2 cases. Otherwise it looks great!

I'm thinking of grabbing an Experience Cover.

I wanted to ask - do you think having a cover really makes a difference for the nexus 7? I really like the finish, grip and touch of the nexus 7 and I feel the material provides excellent general protection already.

I got the Black Experience case and it's fantastic. Feels great in the hands. I put it on a flat table, and I noticed my tablet isn't fast (there's some wobble when pressing opposite corners and side, it's not exactly consistent all around). I thought it was the case at first so I took it off. But it's the actual tablet itself.

Cuzerlite Spline Case

I just received the Cruzerlite Spline Case. The one pictured is their Smoke one. It's extremely cheap - less than $5 shipped on Amazon as of right now. It's definitely not quite as nice as their higher end models (You'll notice there are no cutouts for the volume & power buttons), but for the price, it's great.

Mine took about 2 weeks to reach my house after ordering.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Daavinator:
Yes they work, but they are a little sticky. I may try using a razor & cutting out where the power & volume buttons are.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] franck2k5:
Isn't there one which also protects the screen ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] the1onewolf:
Think I'll pull the trigger and get an experience case tonight.

Just to be sure has anybody heard any rumors about more new/upcoming cases?

This case is great, though it took a little bit to get here. I was able to get it on without hurting my screen protector. Its on nice and snug but it can wiggle around a little depending how you hold the tablet. I don't think that can be helped. The for and finish are really good... A cut above most tpu cases for sure. Mine has no burrs or anything and it feels great in the hand. Wireless charging still works too.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] gogol:
I have been looking for this kind of minimalistic case!

I really like the construction and there is no thick line covering the edge, like the ones on your website, if you know what I meant.

But...

But, I don't like the xda developers logo :(

Do you have one without logo?

Just pure black, matte preferably.

Please :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] stanglifemike:
I REALLY like the way that looks!! Hate to hear that the tablet moves inside the case though, that's a real disappointment! I bought name S Line case from eBay that looks identical to the Cruzerlite S Line case, but the tablet is nice and snug inside the case with zero play! Would like to get this one as well, but guess I'll have to pass if the fitment isn't great. Thanks for the info!

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] gogol:
Which S Line did you buy?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] stanglifemike:
No idea. No brand listed in the auction and nothing on the case. I can post a link to the eBay seller if ya want

EDIT: Here's a link to one of this sellers N7 FHD items, but it's the only item for the N7 FHD that the seller has listed at this time. Also, this item is in a Buy It Now listing, instead of being auction style and starting at just $0.99. I would imagine that this seller will have more N7 FHD TPU cases available soon. You may wanna keep on eye on the items that this seller lists in the future, unless you're in a hurry to get one. There are many more S Line TPU cases listed on eBay, so you could always just buy one of those. The benefit of buying from this particular seller is that you know someone who has received one of their cases already, and it IS good quality! Also, the fact that they ship from California is nice, opposed to shipping from China like the majority of the eBay sellers with these style cases.

Can you tell me the difference between Stickerboy's regular and extreme fit skins? I can find no FAQ link and they have a 20% LaborDay discount until midnight and won't respond to my email inquiry until regular business hours.

thx,
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] stanglifemike:
Nice, thanks for the heads up!! Is the discount automatically applied at checkout, or is there a promo code that needs to be put in? I actually just ordered the dbrand front and back skins in carbon fiber white, less than 2 hours ago. I just looked at the Stickerboy skins last night for the first time, only after another member mentioned them in the dbrand skin thread. I had never even heard of that brand before they were mentioned in the dbrand thread. I'm also interested in knowing whether or not there is much of a difference between the regular and extreme fit skins from Stickerboy, so that's a great question!! Honestly, the Stickerboy skins look like they provide more coverage than dbrand, but I went with the dbrand skins since they're active here in the forums. That may not mean much to a lot of people, but showing yourself and providing support in a world wide forum means a lot to me, so much that I chose to purchase from them instead of Stickerboy!! Even if their sole intentions are to sell more product, props to dbrand for diving right in the mix!!

I'd like to buy one if it wasn't for the 35 bucks shipped for a tpu case.

Where can I buy it from europe (spain) at a relative fine price?

Amazon.com taxes+shipping to spain is around 20bucks, and this cannot be shipped to my country
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] rodger-sp:
The Extreme fit wraps to the front bezel. The regular skin will stop when the side of the tablet starts to curve.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] cBirdR:
The promo code is LABORDAY. I had never heard of them either until I saw the picture of rodger's clear Cruzerlite over his wood Stickerboy skin. But then I'd never heard of dbrand either. Not much variety in my skins, same few I'm attached to from decalGirl on all my devices!

Thanks rodger. I did get an email from stickerboy but it was not very helpful..."If for iphone 5, the regular has a basic 2 square cutout for the speaker. The extreme has individual holes cut for the speakers."

I'm off to check out dbrand.

Oh, the Cruzerlite Sline is on sale at Amazon for 3 bucks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] norcalsfinest:
Decided to go for the Smoke Experience case... Very satisfied so far. Was expecting the tpu to be a little more grippy, but happy nonetheless.

Still wish the XDA case was TPU like the phone version though.

I received a smoke experience case from Cruzerlite in their "beta" program.

Overall i am very impressed with the case. It is made of a high quality TPU material that has flex but also maintains its rigidity where it needs it. If you have had good experiences with their other cases, you will be sure to have a similar one with this one. This is the third or fourth case i've had of theirs and have yet to be disappointed.

One thing i really appreciate about this case in particular is the fit. It fits so well that by the time you install the 3 corners you're starting to think maybe i wont be able to get that 4th one on, but sure enough a bit of slight pressure and it pops right in and grips the tablet extremely well. Additionally, all of the cutouts are perfect.

I also have the Asus travel cover (big mistake) and i find it funny that an aftermarket company can get the fit almost 100% perfect, yet the OEM did such a poor job, allowing way too much movement of the device within the case.

Conclusion: There really isn't much to say about a TPU case other than the materials are nice quality and the fit is excellent. I also appreciated the style of the experience case, but that's purely subjective. I would definitely recommend this case.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] greenro89:
With the smoke case is the nexus logo visible at all? Wondering how transparent the smoke color is..
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] mb3030:
The logo is only visible through the clear icons but not the main color
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] gogol:
How thick is this case? 1mm? 1,5mm? 2mm?

:)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] mb3030:
i dont know the measurements, but its pretty thin. Not too thin that it feels cheap, but not too thick where it feels bulky. Like usual cruzerlite seem to hit the nail on the head with this. Its pretty funny because i have large hands, the case feels good enough that i could use it like a phone.

If any of you guys have seen that trigger happy tv show where they use the giant phone, i felt a little like that. Totally couldnt see myself in public using it i like that though haha
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] stanglifemike:
Thanks for the pic! That case looks awesome, as white is my preferred color anyway. Looks like I MIGHT be having to buy a 4th case for my N7 FHD now! I'm such a case junkie! Guess it isn't too bad if that's my biggest problem though. We'll that and having 6 Android devices with at least 6 cases for them each except my N7 FHD, but that number is steadily growing! Lol

Just encased the Nex7 in its new Circuit Travel smoke case and am quite pleased w/how it looks. Think mine is quite a bit too loose on the right side thought; if my thumb slips it pulls completely free to down below the case. Not a frequent thing, but a bit of a problem over an extended reading time as I'm right-handed. Curious to see if the Sline (the $3 deal coming from China I think) has the same right side quirk.

Still will order the Bobj Rugged Case when available mid-October as I have one on my Transformer TF700 and love it. Bit heavy, maybe even too bulky for some folks but has a great tacky feel that I really like.

I received a white Experience case from the beta program.

The overall texture feels matte while the embossed emblems are shiny but you don't really feel them because they are recessed.

I'm impressed with the material. So far it hasn't picked up smudges or dirt which is unusual and a requirement for a white case.

The material is not stiff so the sides are flexible enough to be pulled away from the edges of the tablet. Otherwise the fit is very good. All the cut outs are spot on. The port holes are big enough to take thick cables.

I like the way it feels in my hand but I do prefer having something that covers the screen. I will probably use a case with a magnetic closure instead of the Cruzerlite but that's just a personal preference.

I'm impressed with the quality and style of this cover. The circuit design is really cool looking. This is a great case if this is the style you are liking for.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] gadzooks64:
So far the white has stayed perfectly white. I was very surprised by that because all the white cases I've used in the past were filthy in no time. This one is staying clean easily. No accumulation of dirt or grime.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] gogol:
How about the power and volume buttons?

Are they cut out?

Anyone can make a closer photos?

Just got my S Line case and am a little disappointed to see that it's just the same generic TPU case you can get on ebay from China for a few bucks. There is no cruzerlite logo on it as pictured. It fits alright...a little loose on the long edges and the covered buttons are little hard to press, but it was only a couple dollars so I can't complain much. I guess I just expected a little more quality since it was being sold by Cruzerlite. I would be very angry if I paid the $18 + shipping they charge on their website.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] andyahs:
Got mine from Amazon as well with the same thinking. I assume the S Line ones for $17 on their website would be of better quality because these are definitely not Cruzerlite quality like my Cruzerlite Experience cover.

Thought it would be worth mentioning I emailed them about my disappointment with the sline case (and how they photoshopped the logo for the description). The response was "what did you expect for $3?" I can agree with that, but I then asked why they were charging $18 on their website and they said it was a price mistake and would be updated immediately. That was a week ago...

Initial Impressions...

Thanks for the nice review 'rodger-sp'! I had problems with my tablet and just got the new replacement. Coincidentally my Cruzerlite cases came in at the same time:

(From L-R: Cruzerlite Androidfied A2 in Teal, S-line in Blue, Experience in Clear, and Circuit in Black) check their site ( http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/asus/nexus7-2013 ) for additional info, options, and availability. I am not associated with Cruzerlite nor financially compensated for this post. The opinions found here are my own.

[URL=http://s1297.photobucket.com/user/HiredGuns45/media/IMG_0615_zpsc3a11f33.jpg.html][/URL]

I will update this post in a few weeks once I had a chance to try them all in and will report on real world use.

Initial impressions so far is that they fit nicely as others have shown. While the cases are all constructed of TPU, there are some differences in the design of each one. The Androidfied A2 and S-Line have patterns on the side for improved grip while the Circuit and Experience cases have the regular plain profile:

[URL=http://s1297.photobucket.com/user/HiredGuns45/media/IMG_0616aa_zpsa7e7921e.jpg.html][/URL]

Note the Androidfied A2 pattern is serrated while the S-Line has a knurled/checkering pattern:

[URL=http://s1297.photobucket.com/user/HiredGuns45/media/IMG_0618_zpsa6e773f9.jpg.html][/URL]

The Volume rocker and Power button are exposed on the Androidfied A2, Experience, and Circuit cases. If you prefer it covered, you'll find it with the S-Line:

[URL=http://s1297.photobucket.com/user/HiredGuns45/media/IMG_0619_zpsf49d78ad.jpg.html][/URL]

With the Cruzerlite Circuit case installed on my Nexus 7, it measure approximately 0.39 inches in thickness.

[URL=http://s1297.photobucket.com/user/HiredGuns45/media/IMG_0620_zps61fc88ed.jpg.html][/URL]

So far I like the extra gripping surface and texture of the Cruzerlite S-Line and will start using that one immediately. The Experience has the cool Android icons and graphics on it so that will be next.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] detonation:
I'm surprised you picked the s-line case as your favorite since it's just a generic case from china like you'll find on ebay. Does yours fit tightly? Mine is loose on the sides.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] HiredGUN.45:
I literally just got the cases in the mail so to start off I picked the S-Line for its knurled texture and color. Rigidity of the lateral aspect is subjective, best way to compare it to is the tpu case on my EVO View. It does have some play on mine which is slightly more than the ebay tpu that is on the View. In comparison to their own products I got a Cruzerlite Experience for my Galaxy S4 which is much more rigid than this S-Line. Maybe it's because the length of a tablet relative to thinness that the sides are sorta loose? I'll give it a few days and try to report back on how well it holds its shape or if the looseness becomes a problem.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] andyahs:
