Serious lack of cases... - Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories

Why is it that there is no real good selection of cases...I can't even find where to buy the asus premium case...why release something with no protection?
**** I went to best buy today and they had a whole rack for the tab 3...nothing for new nexus 7. All the cases that seem to look decent are not even available for the next week or so. I just am at a loss...I just want a nice flip case that ideally has a magnet that doesnt screw up the screen and actually fits the tablet...I'd even shell out decent money...

They don't want to give case makers the heads up on the design because leaks would be instantaneous, but I think if Google was smart they'd manufacture their own case to have ready at retail right alongside the tablet. It makes their brand look 2nd rate when people like us who are fans of their product can't buy things to protect it. Asus has the travel case but that thing is a joke.

The best place to find cases now is at Amazon.
Most of them come from China, but they will do the job, at least in the interim.
They're typically under $15 with shipping.
I got this one for $5
http://www.amazon.com/Fintie-Classi...id=1376113513&sr=8-1&keywords=nexus+7+2+cases
It's nothing special, but it will protect the device...even has a magnetic cover.
The Asus premium case hasn't been released yet, but it's supposed to be $40 when it becomes available in September.
More and more options are appearing daily.

I mean, I understand that other manufactures dont have access. However, google and asus should...the travel case is ridiculous...
I mean, I love my nexus 7, its sweet. I just wish there was a good case.

Great Xoom stand wallet leather case

I believe I just found the perfect case for the Motorola Xoom!
I really love the original Motorola Xoom Portfolio case but the fact that is leaving scratches on the Xoom and most importantly the missing angle for typing on it, was keeping me away from buying it.
It looks like this case I just found is completely identical with the original one, extremely similar design but with an extra adjustment for typing! Hopefully it doen't leave scratches too!
I beleive this is what most people are looking forward to..

I am not familiar with this website and it looks like a wholesale/mass order seller and there is no price.
But at least this is a great start
What you guys think?
Edit, more info:
It's made by a company called Y-Case.

And still no port for charging while closed.
This case will probably leave scratches 2.
It's very similar to the popular Toblino iPad case, which is well liked.
I actually reached out to the manufacturer of this case. The reply back was:
"The price for this case is 5.0usd/pc,MOQ is 300pcs." ... sadly I'm not an importer and am not willing to take the risk to import 300 units and resell them! Even at $5 each!
Hopefully someone will pick it up for distribution in the U.S.
FYI, the KeviKev case is available on Alibaba as well, for significantly less $$$... the markup is pretty severe on that case.

Yes it is availible on there as well now get a quote for genuine leather not the $5 PU man made stinky stuff, add the shipping import taxes customs duties shipping supplies federal taxes state taxes cost of operating, web fees paypal fees ebay fees ect ect and i bet you would be amazed at what they wind up costing. Now look at the flimsy cheap motorola OEM case that sells for the same price, who's mark up is worse? and as you said you wouldnt take the risk at $5 That $5 ends up being $30 by the time you add everything up,Thanks

are you sure the KeviKev case is the same one on Alibaba? Maybe the leather quality is different?
I'm only asking because I was actually thinking of getting the KeviKev case. The Pdair case is nice, but very expensive ($120) http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=11000659_11001165_11001166&products_id=32373

@kevikev ... your points are exactly why I wouldn't take the risk. Note I didn't cut your business down for doing the importing... in fact I think you're doing a great job and a fantastic service to the Xoom community. Bravo. If you peruse the forums, here and at the owner support site, you'll quickly notice I've been pimping your cases... because of these reasons. As a matter of fact, I was one of the first to note it and drive people to your site and ebay auction. So, be nice! I'm allowed to have an opinion kevikev!
That said... $48 is still pretty steep for a case... including the crappy moto case I purchased on day 1. Not to say I wouldn't pay that much for a decent leather case... with proper cutouts of course ;-)

that's good to know...the leather makes all the difference
Also, the xoom is kinda curved in the back...does the leather curve up as well so its not a loose fit on the side edges?

Risk is right the other night the power went out and I tripped on a stack of them lol
I have 300 plus I pad 1 cases that I can't sell for less than I paid I also have 200 tab cases that I can't sell at cost, I could go on and on but that's the risk its not like getting 100 of your friends together and everyone pitches in 20 bucks you order 100 cases and split them you don't. Need to pays taxes accountants and so on. Thanks for you post I'm glad to see someone realizes that this is work. Best buy probibly pays 5 bucks for the motor case now that's a markup

Its a good fit not curved though, I do have one being built that is like the Motorola case but in a carbon fiber leather like material that the clips are leather warped if you look at my website at the tab case you'll see what it will look like but made for the xoom it will actually have a typing position did you guys get the coupon code for the xoom. Case 10% off use the coupon code xoom.

not a fan of that string hanging around...rather have magnet closure like the kevikev case

Anyone know of a case that looks like this?

I think out of the leather cases this is by far my favorite.. but $129?? I guess it's worth it to protect a $600 device right? What I like about it is it doesnt look cheap and it doesnt seem to add too much bulk to the device
http://www.cases.com/pf530.htm

Anyone see something similar?
There are sooooo few cases out right now. Not a big fan of the any with the exception of this one. There is a leather Motorolla Portfolio, but hard to find pics of it...and that get's mixed reviews.
I did pre-order the piel frama case...and was told it will not be "released until Mid April". I guess until then we won't have any new pics of what it really looks like.

From what I read about other cases they have made they really seem top notch. I read the leather is hand done etc.. I'm trying to find out if I can find a coupon code for cases.com to get it a little cheaper.
With all the other cases out there so far, I find one thing I like in one but really dislike another thing about it. That goes for pretty much every other case I have looked at..The only thing I dont really like is the price tag. lol But I think I can live with that more than a case that I'm 90% happy with. It looks well made and it has a simple classy look to it. I think I might go for it.
ok, they did offer me a 10% discount.. I'm still debating if I'm going to fork over that kind of cash for a case. Just in case the coupon code is a one time deal I will not post it yet. I will post it after I either decide to purchase it or not then I will post it here. I just dont want to post it while I'm deciding someone else use it and if it is a one time deal and I decide to get it I'm screwed lol
10% That's not bad! I heard Vaja may be coming out with a case too, but no clue on what it looks like or price.
If you hold off, I'll post some pics, but who knows when this will be here....can't rush quality
I'm using a moto silicon case with a skinomi shield....works okay, but want a portfolio case.
No experience of the Xoom case but I have used a Piel Frama with my HTC Blackstone for about two years. Still looks new and smells of cow.
Well made, quality leather, hence the price tag.

I bought the stock motorola portfolio case for $40 bucks and it works perfectly. We're android users not iPad socialites... please don't spend $129 bucks on a case...
My case gives me decent viewing angles without breaking the bank.
Save that money and purchase some great apps for your device instead (just my opinion)

You can definitely see a difference in the pics of the quality of the leather though. The Kevikev case's leather kind of looks cheap in my opinion if you look at the red picture up close it almost looks like pleather.

otter box case

Anybody have any idea when the otter box case is going to become available?
OtterBox for Motorola Xoom
This NEW product is coming soon!
To receive notification when this product is in stock enter your email below. Remember, great case design takes time.
SKU: MOT2-XOOM1-20-E4OTR_A
Availability: Coming Soon
Slick and innovative, the MOTOROLA XOOM tablet sports a wide array of great features. The OtterBox Defender Series for MOTOROLA XOOM has everything you need to feel safe while taking full advantage your new investment. A high quality polycarbonate shell snaps around your tablet, while an impact absorbing silicone skin wraps around the outside of the shell to complete the case. The removable shield includes a pop up stand that has two angles great for typing or viewing videos. These all add up to rugged protection that keeps your XOOM safe from harm no matter where you use it.
curious
Thanks for the reply but i had signed up for notification off the site for when the product comes out but i posted this thread because on amazon the case is already being sold so i wanted to make sure i wasnt missing anything.

While it is listed on Amazon it's from a third party seller and availability is listed at 3 to 5 weeks.
I'm waiting for it too
i heard it will start shipping between may 4th to the 6th. Am waiting to get my hands on one as well. Am not happy with the current price point. Especially the amazon price. I have seen others online with way less. Maybe the price will balance out once it is release. But it's a good investment, considering the device it is for. That's less then a best buy insurance for a year. So i won't mine buying one at that price if it stays that way.
The tech specs show the case as .84" but I think that is without the stand. Anyone hear how thick the combination of case and stand will be?
Looks like this case is for folks with hard wear situations only. No sure how appropriate it will be for normal use. Thoughts?
i do believe it's on the thick side. as most of the outterbox cases are. they sometime makes lighter version. but i mean for what i spend on this baby, i'll want to get the best jacket for her. it will keep her safe from everything, weather to falls. even the dog. lol
MobileCityOnline.com is taking preorders at 69.99 and have a in stock date of 05/06 listed. Think I'll pass on the rooCASE now that I know when the otterbox will ship.

Only thing I dont like about the VOIA is that the stand doesnt have a lock to keep it in place. Have you had any issues with it staying stood up?
$150? Is it delivered by unicorns in a solid gold box? How can it be $150?
Bc they realize they are the ONLY people selling it, and there is high demand. Low inventory plus the only seller plus everyone wants it = we are screwed, until there are more sellers.
basic economics
Scribed henceforth from thy G pad.
The dock cannot be used unless you take the tablet out of it's case?
Not much use then.
Also the prices are pretty silly. Anyone crazy enough to pay $150 for a case clearly needs to buy some swamp land I own in Florida :cyclops:
150 bucks for a case for 300 dollar tablet? Wow. Ayone want to buy some 15k dollar floor mats for their subaru?
I am using this and its really nice
Wait, how much would this be at retail IN South Korea? Anyone know?

Shows it on the preorder page. Currently 87/1400 with 30 days to go.
JUST PREORDERED! #89!
This is going to be the case that keeps our ONEPLUS protected but gives us our precious back which we all love to feel!
PREORDER PEOPLE!
Idk if we'll get enough people to pre-order to even get this bumper made. I mean It's still in the double digits.
There is 30 days left and they will give you a refund if they dont get enough. This is by far the most beastly case you can get for our phone. PREORDER SO WE CAN GET THIS SICK CASE! There is no reason not too!
If they reach 70% of there goal they start production so lets get there!
#96 here
You have nothing to lose, money will be returned if they don't make the 1400. Plus it's only day 3, and there are 30 days left! That's on track for 3000+.

Well if you look at an Otterbox they start at $40 bucks. This is a premium case for our beautiful phone. The company has incredible screen protectors and there cases have proven to be really protective.
I want to protect my device but still have the back open. This is the case to do that.
If you don't want a one of a kind case for our device than don't purchase. This is basically the only high end case from a high end company, I pre-ordered right away.
1500 pre-orders... lol...
So they want you to pre order a bumper for $30 without seeing it.
You know you CAN see the one they made for the iPhone.
Personally, I am not a fan of bumper cases, I do realize that the bulk of the damage on a phone happens on its' sides but I just can't help it, I want a case that covers the back too. That's why my favorite kind of cases are the hybrid "TPU on the sides + a hard back" type.
I can however understand the guys that want to see and touch the back too, especially one as unique as the One's.
If this bumper came fused to a hard back too I could prolly see myself paying the 30+ USD price.
Use a rubber band.

Well if you look at an Otterbox they start at $40 bucks. This is a premium case for our beautiful phone. The company has incredible screen protectors and there cases have proven to be really protective.
I want to protect my device but still have the back open. This is the case to do that.
If you don't want a one of a kind case for our device than don't purchase. This is basically the only high end case from a high end company, I pre-ordered right away.

This is NOT a casing, it's a mere bumper. An Otterbox is a fully protective casing.
$30 for a bumper only; or,
$40 for a fully protective casing.
Which do you think is more valuable? Unless Evolutive Labs show us the design and prove that their bumper really works on this device, I'm not buying this. You cannot believe them right away by watching their iPhone demo. The iPhone is thicker and is easier to get protection from the bumpers. The OnePlus One is very thin and how do you think a bumper (unless bulky), is going to protect the device?
And no, they have NO cases sold or made and used by the consumers. There is nothing to be proven. The iPhone crashguard is still in the Kickstarter stage. Nobody have used it, nobody have proved that their crashguard actually works. This is Evolutive Labs's first take on a bumper.
While I do like their screen protector, but there are still some things that I'm not satisfied but I'm not going into that here. Well, it's up to you. It's your money after all. Okay, how about you prove it to us that it works when it gets on your hands (IF this thing actually make it into production)? For science, of course.
