[Q] Cases for the 10.1

Are there any cases for the thin 10.1 tablet available?
I'm getting my tablet mid of june.

None that I've seen yet. I saw an unboxing video of a case, but I think that is for the chubby 10.1v. I want a case, but don't want to cover up my little androids on back. lol

Oh. Okay

I'm going to go to best buy today and see if any ipad sleeves will work
We're probably going to have to wait until the tab is officially released before we can get a proper case but if I can just get a cloth sleeve now I'll be happy

Yeah, I'm worried that the seller messed up and forgot to put a 'v' after 10.1. It will arrive this week. Worse case scenario is it will sit loose in the case which can be fixed with some quick modifications. But just mainly something to have until manufacturers start selling cases. (Then return for a refund...)
Does anyone know if there's a way to get insurance for the device? (Will squaretrade provide w/o a purchase receipt?)

also hoping the amazon one isnt for the chubby version.
Cant wait to get this thing in a case...
There is a company making a Melko brand leather book case that looks promising, but it also is a photo of the chubby one. Ive emailed them asking if it has been redesigned.. Lets see what they say..

I got the Acme Slick Case from Best Buy. It's not perfect but it works okay and for 15 dollars you can't complain. I figure it will do me until some custom made cases come out.
http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product...spx?path=acafc0b74bca603fcb15b1e5c38b547aen02

Looks nice, but still waiting for some more cases

i ddecided to go with a belkin 10" neoprene sleeve off of Amazon for $8. It is a bit too big, but it does protect the tab and you can fold it in half, prop the top of the tab up and type in an angle.

I'm a fan of sleeves (as opposed to form fitting cases), and I hunted up one of these at Best Buy yesterday. It's very well made and fits perfectly.

Just got my case in the mail today, works beautifully. has 5 cc slots on side and a big pocket for whatever you may need it for.
might return this when Zagg comes out with a case (as mentioned in another thread), but for now this will do perfectly.

quietglow, thanks for the heads up. I just went out and picked up same sleeve, fits great and I really like that it doesn't look like a computer related accessory.

I'm the guy who sent his GT-P7510 to Zagg. Judging from their other offerings, i would expect just an invisiblesheld not a case.

Ah, I was kinda hoping for a case from them too. A screen protector would be nice though.

Looks like it fits nicely, how tight is it secured in there given that it seems it may have been for the thicker version.
Let me know! Im ready to checkout my amazon cart!!

That looks perfect to me! However, for that price, I I'd have to see a review first. I'm looking for the functionality that case has. I want something very slim and very light. The poetic I have is pretty nice, especially for 12 dollars. But it's thicker than I'd really like, though not really that thick. Also, it doesn't have the lay flat with a slight tilt option.

Is it really premium materials/brand? Or they just don't wana be in business ANYMORE?

How premium can PU really be?

Here is another one that I'm interested in. They are expensive I believe because they are being imported and only a couple of people are offering them. I would guess that in time they should come down in price. I prefer a minimalist case and both of these two seem really good but ebay is the only place I've been able to find them from.

Did you pay $82.00 for it?

I bought the AnyMode VIP case / blue color about a month ago. I would like it is amazing quality and I would consider it the best case I bought for a tablet, as I had before the Asus Prime and the Samsung Tab. It fits perfect nice color with my white Note 10.1 with excellent finishing.

Diztronic Matte Back Black TPU Case for LG Nexus 5

I've been a fan of Diztronic cases since my Galaxy S2 years ago so I would recommend this brand based on my previous experiences. I currently have one on a Galaxy S3 and it is top notch and very lightweight. Feels really nice in hand (this one also has matte finish on the back and glossy ring around the screen frame. Check it out here: http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=46_99&products_id=368

I've seen their cases on eBay as well (sometimes), hopefully you will be able to buy one that way.

Love this case on my N4...looks great for the N5 too!

Fantastic experience with my Diztronic Matte Back Black for my Galaxy Nexus, I'm probably going to buy another Diztronic case for my coming Nexus 5

Thanks! But it's funny, shipped by Diztronic, over their page they don't ship to Germany
pre-ordered~

Placed my order.

Definitely going to look into this case once the phone is released. I have one on my DNA and it actually makes the phone nice to hold. They also gave me a code for 10% off my next case. Whooo 10 cents off this bad boy ha.

This case is the best I have used for my N4. I have the Rearth slim case and a Ebay tpu as well. I pre-ordered this today!

Just got my confirmation that it shipped. Estimated delivery Nov 5th- 7th. November 1st looks to be more and more when the nexus 5 will be available for purchase.

Ditto. Mine also shipped today. Not sure when delivery will be though. I'm in Canada so I imagine I'll be waiting at least a week, maybe two.

I ordered from the Diztronic web site, mine is scheduled to arrive tomorrow!

Love Diztronic but...
Dear All,
Diztronic cases are great except they pinch the screen protector so it bubbles up on the side once in a while. I would still order another Diztronic case but my screen protectors would need to be trimmed down to prevent future bubbles on the side. Overall, economical price for a top notch product. :good:

Got my case in the mail today! Looks good, now I just need to wait for the phone to get here lol. I love my N4 diz case, it's been my favorite! highly recommend

I might have to pick one of these up.

Bumper case clone

Looks like eBay sellers are starting to carry these, but some are claiming they're official. Check the colors..pretty sure Google isn't carrying blue. They look good and for the price....pshhh. Right now take another $5 off the amazon deal.

Lol..I started laughing when I saw my shipping date. Kind of hoping, like everything else I order from amazon, it just shows up two days later like magic

Have had one for a few days now off eBay.
Knew it was obviously fake due to price but thought I'd try it out anyway (packaging was fantastic lol, taped up Google box)
The sides of the case come in on an angle towards the phone, not sure if it's like that on official model. Buttons are literally 1-1.5mm in height so pressing them is impossible.
Apart from those defects, the case fits great

hahaha awesome. gonna have to snag one asap

Thanks for the info. Wouldn't be surprised if they are exact replicas of the original with maybe some color variations...And I noticed the taped up Google packaging on one of the eBay listings..lol

I'd be a bit worried. Google couldn't even get the case right with it's early degradation problems. Maybe this will be a case of the knock off being superior to the real thing? I'd have my doubts though.

Can someone that has this case post pictures?

Looks like I'll be getting the black one tomorrow. I'll post some pics

How much are you guys getting these? On eBay they're 22 and amazon 18? A bit expensive for a clone isn't it?
Sent from my white LG Nexus 5

Amazon was knocking another $5 off at checkout. I do think that's still expensive considering you can get a tpu case for a couple bucks, but when comparing to what Google's charging, its a decent deal if the quality is the same or better.

Just received the black case. It came in a legit Google package that didn't look to be tampered with. Only issue being the packaging is for a gray case. The case fits like a glove and quality seems alright. The color is uniform throughout, unlike the two toned look of the Google bumper. Overall I'm satisfied..

Real wood backed cases

So I saw this on Amazon and am very tempted to check it out. Some reviews for an older version say its not very well made but this looks like a revised version. Anyone got one? Love the official wood backs on the moto x but they aren't available in the UK.

So my case finally arrived from boxwave. Its very well made, it has a silky texture on the plastic edges and the back has a rubbery feel texture over the bamboo. All the cut outs are precise and neat, boxwave logo even looks pretty good. It snaps firmly onto the phone and I think it looks really premium.
The plastic is slightly raised above the screen at the front, leaves the top and bottom open like a lot of hard cases.

Ha very true! Also I read that all bamboo dies after about 10 years because it is degraded from the inside out by a fungus.

Wow, didn't know that. Learn something new every day.
I'd go for Cocobolo Burl. Coolest looking wood I've ever seen. Of course it's super rare and probably costs more than gold haha.

Yeah that stuff looks amazing! Very regal, type of thing you'd find on a baroque period dresser or something. I think really I want a moto X but moto maker (which you use to order custom colours and wood backs) is USA only right now.

Yeah, if they made a case out of that, I would jump on it so quickly.
I want to like Motorola, but after the hellish experience/treatment/neglect/no updates/etc I had with the Atrix 4G, where they just abandoned it after less than a year and pretended it didn't exist.... I don't think I'll ever buy another Motorola phone ever again. That cost so much (bought outright) and was so disappointing, it just turned me off to them (they do have the best USB cables out there though!).
