Behind The Scenes Nexus 7 2013 Case Production - Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories

Attached is a photo of our jig for the newest Nexus 7, as well as snap shots of our engineer's design work. A lot of hard work as gone into designing a bamboo tray for the finalized case for the new Nexus 7. Really impressed with the direction Google has taken the device.

Will you implement some sort of stand feature with the case ?

Just checked the site and the cases you have planned are nice. Do any of these incorporate the smart wake feature?

That's looks nice. I can't wait to see the final product

Ooohh exciting times
Curious to see some final shots. Since the new N7 is a bit longer and narrower, I am wondering how that will reflect in the final product.

What's your favorite lte compatible case? Pics please

Sorry for the double threads but I figured this will be better to get opinions. Can everyone say their favorite case for the lte version gnex? Pictures would be great. Also is it a dust magnet? My last case actually scratched my phone a lot by drawing dust into the case.

That's a great work case I'd imagine. I can't seem to find a nice small case
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Unfortunately it seems that the case makers jumped on the gsm version and assumed the lte version would be close enough.
Even with its problems, the ultra hybrid is still my favorite. It's pulled away a touch at the top and the back does get a little loose when hot, but it's not really that bad. I like how it doesn't have cutouts for the buttons, which I like. It feels the least like a case of any I've seen.

Samsung flexible displays, what's to come?

I don't know if everyone saw this year's CES Conference, but Samsung released a bit of information on some nice lookin' devices.
Flexible displays
Innovative technology
A tablet that folds into a phone?
I'll let you be the judge, what do you think?

What's to come is HUGE foldable full HD unbreakable screens that are twice the size of our GN2, lighter and faster. That and a lot of sad looks from currently proud GN2 owners. Sigh.

That video is sick!!! Thanks for sharing this....I've been on the HTC bandwagon for a while and finally jumped ship to the Note 2. No regrets and this video proves this company is moving fwd. I'd recommend fast forwarding the video to 4:13 and 6:27 to cut to the chase...
You're welcome sir

Just as soon as we all spring for a foldable display they will perfect augmented reality contact lenses and we wont need displays at all. People will just walk around staring into space and talking to themselves.
No wonder we end up looking like the Grays after another 100,000 years of evolution.

Just bought nexus 7, questions?

I went to best buy to exchanged my Sammy tab 3 for this. Love pure Google aosp. I was very disappointed best buy doesn't have cover cases for it yet. Never owned first generation nexus.
Now here the question after searching on eBay and amazon.
The nexus 7 2, will it able to fit right into first generation case? I don't want to buy first generation case online that doesn't fit 2 gen device. Will this do?
Thanks

No it will not.

Hard shell case

Has anyone seen any hard shell cases yet? I have looked around some have seen a few for the 1st gen nexus but none for the 2nd gen.

Nope nothing yet. By the looks of it, by the end of the month there should be plenty of choices for cases.

Yeah Poetic had the Element case for the OG Nexus 7 which I really liked.

If someone can find a link or such to the detailed dimensions of the N7, I'll totally make a 3D-Printed case/Stand/Car mount set.
I'm more than capable of modeling these things, I just don't have a clue how to measure the chamfer and fillets of the tablet.

Poetic Revolution Nexus 7 2013 Case
KAYSCASE Nexus 7 2013 Case

I can't post links yet, but if you go to Amazon, and use the following search queues, the cases should come up.
The first one is a jelly silicon.
The second is a TPU.
The third and fourth are snap-ons with thin profiles.
I hope this helps

I would like spiegn to come out with something. I have bought cases for my last two phones and there nice cases.

I am hoping fro a back hard shell from Incipio. Already have an email out to them to see if they have any plans.
I posted on the OtterBox fb page and they said "We don't have plans for that device right now, but we'll certainly keep you posted on any changes!"
I emailed Gumdrop about a Droptech and they replied "Unfortunately, at this time we are not planning to make a case for this particular device. Please check back on our website in the near future for any new updates!"
I would like to see the case mate tough make it to the n7. I have the case on my note 2 and really like it.

How much would you be willing to spend cuz CF is not cheap. with the limited group that would buy the cases would be a minimum of $60. While it would be nice, id be just as concerned of the CF resin getting scratched as i would the device itself.
Im waiting for Seido's refresh to last year's N7 http://www.seidioonline.com/asus-google-nexus-7-active-case-black-p/bd2-csk3asn7-bk.htm

I'd pay $60, I love real carbon. Scratched real carbon is still better than no carbon.

Best "Case" So Far

OK, a little tongue in cheek here.
Below is the case that I have used since getting my N7 at Best buy on their accelerated launch day. I was in Vegas on business, took a cab over to the closest Best Buy (shout out to the guys there on Maryland Parkway). Was fairly disappointed like a lot of us that there were no cases available. Got back to the MGM Grand hotel and spied my "case"; a hotel hand towel! :laugh:
Been using it ever since, certainly is a conversation starter!
Still waiting on the "in stock" http://dx-box.com/myriann-ultra-slim-smart-shell-stand-case-for-google-nexus-7-fhd-2013-2nd-gen.html from DX-Box. Different story, been almost a month.
Your link says that case is in Stock?

Have you tested wireless charging through the case?
