Best "Case" So Far - Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories

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?

Cool case. There were lots of $.01 sales of N7 cases so I have several. Each their own. I use my portenzo the most.

Couldn't you just drill/dremel a hole up there, or does the battery extend that far?

I personally think that lazy or rushed design like that shouldn't be rewarded with my money and then after sale labor to bring it up to nominal working order.
Here's it cheaper for you http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=120942751358&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=41004721533:D

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

There are some out now I've ordered two inexpensive ones until some quality ones surface.

Asus premium case available

Found a vendor on amazon selling the white version.
http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-Officia...7QO6/ref=pd_sim_sbs_pc_1?tag=androidpolice-20
Here is the same in black:
http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-Officia...05&sr=8-12&keywords=asus+nexus+fhd+7+official
So I've purchased a black one and will be doing a review of it when i get it later this week. It does not appear to have the magnetic auto wake function, as stated before by others do to the patent being held by another company.

Other member reviewed that the tablet doesn't even fit in.
I'm sure its a nice case but I think its a little pricey.

It's bit pricey cause the tablet only cost 229 and the case cost 40?

For an offical case it's not pricey. Take the flip cover for the note 8. It's 50 dollars. Every offical case out there is double what the aftermarket ones are. If not more. I'm buying because it's the offical case so I'm already expecting a premium.

I just found out this case doesn't support auto wake/sleep feature
I mean come on Asus!!! for a $40 case you couldn't add a piece of magnet!!!
This case and the travel case are both just big fails. Although I don't mind getting ripped off on OIM cases but at least I want to get a "premium" case.

They dont have the patent on that feature, therefore they can not use it without a hefty lawsuit from apple

How do people review a case that has not been released yet (according to Amazon). The black one not the white one (Amazon are selling the white case but say the black case is not yet released)

[Q] Baseus Faith case

Anyone has experience with this case?
http://dx-box.com/baseus-faith-pu-leather-skin-case-for-google-nexus-7-fhd-2013-2nd-gen.html
Looks pretty slick to me. I hope the weight and build quality are OK.
Just ordered one today.
R.
Not that one. But, I ordered http://dx-box.com/myriann-ultra-slim-smart-shell-stand-case-for-google-nexus-7-fhd-2013-2nd-gen.html from them on 8/12. Be patient, I should get it next week. Also said in stock. They had just three order status' with me; pending, processing and complete. Complete means they shipped. That was 5 days ago.

OFFICIAL NEXUS BUMPER CASE 25 percent off of Google Play

Was just browsing for a wireless charger and i have just noticed all official cases for the nexus 5 are 25 percent off on the uk website dont know if its worldwide. But tbh the google shipping cost is still putting me off unless im getting more than one for two things. Just wondering if anyone interesting in OEM cases could it might sound attractive to a few .

Thanks for the heads up but IMO it is still way over priced for what it is.

I finally purchased one due to this discount. I hope I don't have the peeling issue.
If I do I'll just return it...
My black one is also fine. I've had since before Christmas
