I am using poetic slimline case from amazon and couldnt be happier.
You need to be a lot more specific then that.
Do you want a smart cover? Something rugged? A stand that supports portrait and/or landscape? A keyboard?...
Draw up a list of features you want then hunt down options to fill the criteria. If you find something there is almost certainly a review in the accessories section so do a search.
I have 2 cases for mine. A smart cover with folding front from eBay and a minisuit "aluminium" style keyboard. I swap them depending on my plans for that day.

Love my Moko case!
Hey,
I love my Moko case! http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Google-N...ll&keywords=Moko+Nexus+7+2013+genuine+elather It has three positions you can fold in into without removing the tablet so you can use it on a desk or surface of any height. The auto-off/on magnetic cover works flawlessly and it has easy access to all the buttons and usb/headphone ports etc.
I bought the genuine leather one which is only a bit more then a regular Moko case and I am quite pleased with it.
If you buy it from Amazon (I love Amazon!) they have a really good return policy and when my first Moko had an issue they paid return shipping with a printed label for me to send it back. Even though the issue was my fault with the first case Amazon still honored the warranty too.
The only thing I wish was different is the inside is not black like the leather but a dark gray colour. I understand it is probably not a good idea to have a leather inner lining as it might damage the screen but it would be nice if the entire case was black including the inside of the case.
Hope this helps.
Peace. .
P.S. From what I've read in the forums about cases is it's pretty much a choice between the Poetic Slimline or the Moko.
If you have the money to spend - the official Folio looks pretty nice.

I have a Poetic Slimline and absolutely love it. It has a hard plastic back and a really thin smart cover, so it's almost like not having a case on it at all. It works great with my wireless charger and also converts into a stand. I've even used it vertically, in stand mode, to record video. Overall, a very nice case. My Moko is sitting in my closet collecting dust.

I don't use a case at all so the N7 will easily fit in my pocket. I carry a Logitech Bluetooth tablet keyboard and stand in my briefcase. I don't use the keyboard that much but the stand comes in handy.

My recommendation is the Seidio Dilex case with multi-purpose lid which also acts as a stand. Its sexy and nice rubber inner cushion for those accidental drops.

I couldn't see the point in an expensive case which may add lots of bulk and weight like the otter case. The above seem to do the job well. I feel i ccan take this to a meeting without looking like I'm carrying a gadget. It is well built covers everything has adjustable angles. Arrived quickley in the post. A nice magnet holds the flap in.camera seems free.only very minor gripe is that it willneed a small hole made for charging when closed. Anyhow I am veryhappy with it. This was much easier to type up using it .

I don't think there's "best case" in this case...it actually depends on individual...
There're lots of case with stand/kick stand and the best way to look for it...is Ebay.
I'm currently using this:
http://cgi.ebay.com.my/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270935540723&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:MY:1123
Althou it's a bit bulkier, but it's all round protection which also cover the audio jack & microusb port. It can stand vertically and even horizontally. I feel secured when I'm holding it and playing games with it, feels like holding a PSP...LOL
Just my 2 cents...

If you just want a case with stand to watch your videos at home, instead of propping your phone up against a coffee mug etc., then this case is ideal.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Combo-Cas...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item84bb134430
Just received mine today & was surprised how good it is, especially at the price. All the cut-outs etc., are perfect. Just a word of advice, when fitting your phone in the case fit the top end in first, the plastic is stiffer at the top, then the bottom just clips on easily. Will be purchasing another as a spare.
Update.
Sorry guys. Seller has now upped the price from £1.99 to £3.99. Still a good deal though.
Not got this case, but it looks nicer than the other case with stand that you see on ebay. Might order one, but looks like it will come over on the slow boat....

I picked up the Acase slim leather case folio on newegg. It's fake leather but it still looks nice. On sale for only $20 and had free shipping. Covers the entire back and the corners. The front cover folds back to prop up the XOOM. My only complaint was that it covers the charging port when completely closed.

I'm actually happy with the faux leather one from Motorola
Long time lurker - first post.
I picked up a great case for my Xoom from Zenus Cases USA on their website. For me it's the perfect low-profile case for the Zoom. Nice leather, great fit, and has a fold back feature to prop the Xoom up. A bit pricey yes, but now over 50% off at $39 plus shipping (& tax for Cali).
Zoogue case genius is great. It's a bit thick, but it's very capable, fits like a glove, and has all the right holes in all the right places. My wife has a Motorola case that fits very poorly and blocks a lot of spots that need to be open (i.e. camera lens) so maybe see how well a motorola case fits before buying one if that's the direction you go.
Throw my vote for an otterbox. Tablet has fallen from high heights and nothing broken.

I had the otterbox case, but found it to be way too heavy for daily usage. It made my Xoom almost 5lbs. I switched to this case (http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Leather...SLB6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1338301487&sr=8-3 ) and absolutely love it.

The portfolio case must be one of the worst cases ever. The left side is loose and doesn't snap on anymore. Good that I got it for free otherwise I would have been pissed of. I really don't recommend it
another vote for otterbox. use mine every day for work, carrying it in and out of the car and around various properties. yes its heavier but well protected; a reasonable trade off I think.
my otterbox fits perfectly in the xoom HD speaker dock too.

In fact, I have. For my old (now sold) Nexus 7 2012.
Other than the markings there was no discernable difference between that and my friends' Poetic and iBlason(IIRC) cases. Both of which holding up nicely after a year's time.
Unless this N7 2013 case is different, I'll stick by my assessment.
Basically, you spend your money, and make your choice... :thumbup:
Most likely this one and the others that look like this are probably close to the same. As someone said in a different thread they buy them in bulk from somewhere and apply the companies branding.

Not uncommon, in fact, very common.

I must agree that there is great difference on the overall feel and materials of the Nillkin.
I have the poetic slimline and the moko already, and gladly shelled the $16 for one from eBay just now.
I had the Nillkin for my now gifted to nephews' OG 7, and knowing all brands I was really waiting for it.

I bought and received this case (from Taobao to Hong Kong)
I don't have the device with me at the moment so I will take pictures tonight with it in the case.
Initial impressions are that the leather is very soft and the back cover is made in very high quality (leather wrapped around the plastic shell) and see no exposed plastic bits. Furthermore the "baseball" stitching on the cover is very nicely done, and very pliable with no stiffness.
Will update with fitment and auto sleep/wake tonight!

UPDATE: fitment is good and cut outs are accurate. Speaker grilles are properly cut and quality of the case is insane against the 11USD value. Must buy given the current case selection on the market. The case is light weight and made of very thick "leather".
The only minor quibble I have with the case is that the magnet doesn't keep the flap closed completely. Auto sleep/wake occurs without fault with a 1 second delay. (standard among cases). Finally the "Nillkin" logo is not very prominent making this a very stealthy case.
Rating: 8/10
Price is now $15.89 on dx-box.com. Also noticed they have a white version and it seems there are also Red and Grey version elsewhere.
Does anyone know if this will fit a 2013 model or is it 2012? It doesn't say anywhere in the description.

2012. no camera hole the back upper-left.
I have this case for my Nexus 7 first gen, and I love it, except that the front cover edge has started to split. Hard to explain, I'll try and get a pic, but basically the outer layer and the inner micro-fibre layer are coming apart at the outside seam. I'm looking for a similar case for my 2013 N7, not sure if I'd get the Nillkin again based on the previous experience.
I want something as close to the iPad Smart Case as possible: super-thin, able to function as a stand, but with the auto-wake functionality. Any suggestions?
Poetic Slimline is your best bet.

I am also using the Poetic Slimline. Very happy with it. Auto-wake, miracast with PTV3000 and wireless charging with Lugulake all work properly when using this case.
This is what I use. Found the folding too stiff on the poetic. This is just like my smart Cover was on the iPad mini (except it has a back cover)

I bought the Nillkin V Series because it was the sleekest case I could find. It fulfills the two conditions in the thread title, but the stand function seems a bit unstable.
I take that thing everywhere and it's been holding up quite well.
People have been talking about the Mofi case lately, but it's only available in green, orange, brown and teal (which Mofi laughingly calls blue).
The brown version is only available on ebay.
The new cases by Seido are also worth a look -- though if you want one, you might want to wait for a sale.
My roocase slim works great. Origami version I think it's called. 15$

MoKo case and I'm very pleased
I got the MoKo when it first came out, shortly after I got the N7. I've been very happy with it, the tablet is held firmly, but can be removed without a lot of force. I have another very similar case that holds the tablet so tight that I'm concerned when I try to remove it (I've decided to use that one for a car mount system I'm building as I know there's no chance it will fall out!) The smart on/off works great and the cover stays closed with magnets also. It took me a little while to get the bend lines to flex properly so that the stand functions worked, but after a few days it has been no problem. It still looks new after 4 months, no frayed edges, it goes with me everywhere, everyday. It's got to be one of the best cases I've ever had (no I don't work for the company, nor do any friends or relatives).

Brown is normally a low-key color, but Mofi outlines it in white, which makes it look garish.
I liked the orange case best myself but wish the surrounding plastic were black.
Still, the few people who own both the MoKo and Mofi cases and post here have claimed the Mofi is noticeably better made.
How are the magnets on your MoKo -- does the cover stay closed if you hold it upside down? Does the stand stay in place? I've read good things about those features.
Google released their official case yesterday on play store.

Just purchased and "put on" the rooCASE Origami Slimshell. It's got a polycarbonate shell back and a light flap (which turns on/off the unit) which can be "folded" to support the unit in landscape or portrait mode. I have a Nexus 7 (2012) I'm about to sell on which I used both the Speck Fitfolio and an Incipio unir. I preferred the Speck because of its clasp, but I understand that the Speck version for the Nexus FHD 2013 doesn't have the magnet for on/off ability.
If you want slim, take a look at the rooCASE. With the case on the unit is still just about a half inch thick.

The magnet is very good but the stand is a bit stiff even after using it for months and months on end so it doesn't always stay in but that's a minor inconvenience, but for the most part it works fine even when the stand comes out it still tends to stay in the same spot so I'm not really disappointed.

What's odd about the Play Store's specs for the black, gray/red, white/red and blue/red Nexus 7 2013 cases is that no mention is made of the kinds of materials used or whether there are magnets. What's odd about the ad copy is that no mention is made of features other than the fit's being exact.
I wouldn't want to spend $50 on a case for a $270 device -- even a white 32GB N7 (2013) -- but I'd be especially reticent not knowing if the interior was real or synthetic leather or the exterior, real fabric -- let alone whether the cover would actually stay closed.

MoKo case has been excellent both function AND value
I use MoKo for Nexus 7 (2013), iPad mini, and iPad Air. It has been outstanding for ALL tablets in a variety of environments. It fits snugly, all ports and holes line up nice and square. Wireless charging perfect. The price <$20 incl. shipping.. (The Apple Air case is almost $90, MoKo gets the job done for under $20 shipping incl. I'd buy a MoKo in a heartbeat for my HP TouchPad if I could locate one. I have about half a dozen other cases for different usages, but the MoKo is on %90 of the time. GOOD STUFF!
