Hey all. Picking up a nexus 7 soon, and need some help.
Want a case that will protect it in case I drop it (no plastic over the screen types)
And looking for a wireless charger (that would be compatible with the case).
Any other accessories I should pick up?
(What else would I need to hookup a xbox 360 controller ?)
(I've seen a bunch of different types of both and could use some suggestions)
Thanks for any help you can give !!

I'm just gonna state the obvious for you. I ordered 2 cases from amazon. but they don't come out till at least a week from now and won't ship to me till 2 weeks later. There are 2 cases currently not on preorder. there is the Asus case which me all know is silicone flimsy crap. I bought one when I had the nexus 1st gen. just udder crap waste of 40 bucks. then there's the one best buy sells the M edge case which I cave also fairly ugly. it's a universal where the tablets held in by straps. lastly there is Zagg protectors out that are well Zaggs. THAT's it! so wait 2 weeks and i'll tell you what is great. I currently think my Moko case from amazon will suffice. I really want Seidio to make a Active case. I loved it on my nexus 7 1st gen.
That's definitely not the situation. There are more then a few cases available that aren't pre order. And a lot of people are getting their wireless chargers now

One thing to keep in mind with that case is the micro USB cable that comes with the phone doesn't fit with that case on. My store sells them, try a vzw premium retailer (not corporate)

Thank you, I am using a verizon charger that i bought so it fits. I currently have the white one but I prefer black because I am a guy.
I called all of the local private retailers and none if them had it. Any suggestions?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Went to two verizon stores and bestbuy today... you'd think this phone hasn't been released yet. There is no sign of it. Same went for the wireless zone premium verizon retailer i bought it at. Needless to say there were no cases either.
I know, its horrible because of how much of a good phone this is.

Do you own the case? All my chargers work with the Pop case and ext battery except for one aftermarket usb cable, an older Verizon car charger is a snug fit but it actually guides it in perfectly.

FSRBIKER, the case fits with the extended battery/cover on LTE version?
could you post pics?
how the heck do you remove the case-mate pop?
It seems impossible to take off once put on.
I have the Lte version w/Vzw extended battery and have them installed on both my wife's and mine. She is out so no pics but not sure what you want to see, it just fits. Definetly makes the phone feel stronger as well. $16 at www.thecellguru.com

You may want to break your drill and punch a hole in the upper right back for the second microphone. That is what I ended up doing.
Case-mate should also have new cases with the hole opened by next month.
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.
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.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
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.

I am looking for the same thing too
Although nothing is shipping out yet, there are some things below on amazon.
Poetic Graphgrip Nexus 7 2013 Case
Poetic Revolution Nexus 7 2013 Case
KAYSCASE Nexus 7 2013 Case
CruzerLite Nexus 7 2013
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 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.

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)

So, I've been searching for a bumper case that only covers the rim of the N5. I found one that's been posted around a few times, but it's no longer available, plus it didn't get very good reviews on Amazon.
Has anybody seen any other ones?
Thanks in advance.
