The Case Thread post your case finds here!

Wow. I got mine and love it. It closes with just a flip and stays closed. My wife got one too and hasn't had any of these issues either. The window for the screen is larger than the actual screen and nothing is blocked.

That's the one I ordered for our two N7's. Thanks for posting your comments. There are at least 2 different models from iBlason and I guess the other poster got the other one ? His post had me worried until I read your comments. I traded e-mails with iBlason's "Jason" who said that the demand for the N7 cases was really high and that they were overwhelmed with orders, causing delays in shipping. Mine should be here by the end of July (I hope).

I like my rooCASE.

Amazon.com: rooCASE Multi-Angle (Black) Vegan Leather Folio Case Cover for Google Nexus 7 Tablet (Automatically Wakes and Puts the Nexus 7 to Sleep) Lifetime Warranty: MP3 Players & Accessories

The only thing I don't like is it bulks up the Nexus' thickness. Yet it supports the smartcover feature, it looks nice, and it cost me like 10 bucks.

I didn't expect it to, but the leather framing the screen has become a little annoying and I'd swear my magnet shifted or something because my Nexus 7 doesn't wake now unless the cover is pulled over the tablet further than it was designed to.

I might be contacting the rooCASE folks about a replacement. :(

EDIT: Make that contacted. Gotta love a lifetime warranty. :)

We're still looking into options but recommend that you send an e-mail to nexus7@seidio.com to request specific products!

how about a few emails to Seidio for an active case for the nexus 7? a kickstand would be awesome! I'd like to skip the folio style cover and put a rugged case on mine with a good screen protector. I have an active case on my galaxy nexus and I love it.

Today I had the vision of the case I truly want. I don't think I'll ever find it though.

This case is based on the rubberized case my Optimus has, perhaps a bit thinner. Attached from the left side would be a thin flexible flap of the same material. When in the closed position, the flap would be flush with the edges. When opening it, it would flip straight around and behind.

I have no idea just how sturdy such a case would be, but it's a general idea that has been bouncing around in my head most of the day.

Edit: The case I'm thinking of would be something like this but with a flexible protective flap that would flip flush behind. I could even see the flap having slits in it to line up with the speaker holes.

Amen! I want this exactly!

email away. Seidio monitors this forum but let them know they have some ready sales. I prefer their active cases to otter box. I expect it would be a neoprene shell with a hard clip on back that protects the corners. Check out their web site for active cases for tablets to see what a Nexus case might look like. Seems like a kickstand would work on the Nexus 7 form factor. If they could put a cover on the charging port it would be pretty bullet proof.

This is a great deal I found and wanted to share... its identical to one of the iblason cases. It has free shipping. I ordered mine and arrival date is Aug 7-9. I figured I'd make a new thread because it is a great deal

Looks like a nice case. I did notice something odd.

Take a look at the reviews. All 5 star except for one 3 star who questions the 5 stars. Most of the reviews mention the 5 year warranty which is probably the last thing anyone ever talks about. They're also pretty vague, not mentioning the features of the case, just talking about how it protects their N7. All that aside, how do you review something which hasn't been released yet?

I'd bet the seller wrote those.

The case might be great, I have no idea. The $5 case I got is impressive as hell. It might be worth a shot since it's only $5.

Also noticed a lot of the folks that gave 5 stars, each gave 5 stars to a very similar list of other items.

I'm looking forward to mine!
The rooCASE I bought has become annoying, and the company is proving to be difficult to work with.

You may have seen my previous post about my Moko case. I ordered it before I ever received my N7. The seller, BSCstore, later sent an email to everyone saying that because they didn't have the sleep function in the case we could get a free replacement of any Moko case when new ones came in. I got this email today.

Dear Buyers:

Finally we have the following cases available for ordering as the free
replacement.

1. The case you originally ordered, now with smart cover function:

Amazon.com: MoKo(TM) Slim Cover Case for Google Nexus 7 Android Tablet by Asus, Black (with Automatic Sleep/Wake Function,Flip Stand, Elastic Hand Strap, and Stylus Loop)--Lifetime Warranty: Electronics

2. The slim-fit case , the slimmest case we have

3. A blue rotating case with magnetic closure

Amazon.com: MoKo(TM) 360 Degree Rotating Case with Multi-angle Vertical and Horizontal Stand for Google Nexus 7 inch tablet by ASUS, Blue: Electronics

4. A detachable case that can rotate, with a detachable inner sleeve
that can be held alone without the whole case.

Amazon.com: MoKo(TM) 360 Degree Rotatory Detachable Cover Case for Google Nexus 7 Android Tablet by Asus, Black (with automatic sleep/wake function, Vertical and Horizontal Stand and Stylus Loop)--Lifetime Warranty: Electronics

5. Two TPU back covers in Dark and white. no screen cover and thus
without the smart cover function:

Please order your choice of cases on Amazon.com with two day shipping
(overnight if you have Prime membership). Please reply back to this
email with your replacement order number and we will then apply a FULL
refund (including any shipping charges) after the order ships. This
will help us automate the processing and is the faster way for you to
get the replacement case. Please ignore the in stock date listed as
most orders will be shipped over the weekend or Monday. But please do
order AS SOON AS you can before the items go out of stock again.

Or if you prefer , you may also reply back to this email with your
choice and we will be happy to ship the replacement unit from our end.
This may take a little longer to ship as we will be manually
processing the orders.

And if you are interested in the 360 Rotating cases with snap-on back
below , I am sorry you may have to wait until next week. WE will send
out another email when we have them available:

Amazon.com: MoKo(TM) 360 Degrees Rotating Case for Google Nexus 7 Android Tablet by Asus, Black (With Automatic Sleep/Wake Function, Vertical and Horizontal Stand and Stylus Loop)--Lifetime Warranty: Electronics

Amazon.com: MoKo(TM) 360 Degrees Rotating Case for Google Nexus 7 Android Tablet by Asus, Purple (With Automatic Sleep/Wake Function, Vertical and Horizontal Stand and Stylus Loop)--Lifetime Warranty: Electronics

if you prefer some other color options. We do plan to offer more color
choices but it may take another 2- 3 weeks to get them in stock.

Finally we want to thank you again for your patience and understanding
in this process. We really hope you can better enjoy your Nexus with
MoKo cases.

Best Regards,Jim


I think I'll go with the Slim Fit case. What outstanding customer service this company has!
