Google just announced they're releasing their own case for the new Nexus 7...but I don't see anywhere if it's actually a smart cover. It doesn't look too bad, but I wish it came in more color options.

$50 seems steep. I have the poetic case for $6. After a month it is already showing signs of wear so I guess you get what you pay for.

My poetic slimline (replacement) has already broken. The magnet came unglued, and the edge piece of plastic next to the same magnet completely broke off
I ordered a different case the other day, saw this and thought, "Oh crap." But looking at it closer, there isn't much there for $50. More like for someone whose ordering a N7 and getting a case at the same time.
Have not seen the auto on/off as confirmed or not for the Google case.

I have the Poetic and the smart cover aspect of it works just fine with the 2013 nexus 7.
With that said, fifty bucks for this seems a bit absurd... smart cover support or not.

Well did not like this flip one for N7(2013)...Simply why would I use that....did not like it that much and not even worth of its cost too...$ 50 for this flip case..its quite steep cost of Google....

It does, well on my LTE, so I assume also on the wifi only ones. Hold a magnet near the bottom right of the screen and see for yourself.

It does. Asus just don't make cases with the magnets in them.
My official Google case came in today. I purchased the black model. Here is a list of first impressions:
This case looks great, by far the best looking case I've seen (I have had the Moko, Poetic Slimline, and ASUS cases).
The case fits the Nexus 7 very tightly.
The material is very nice. Feels great in the hand. Much better than my Poetic Slimline
There is nothing to keep the case closed besides the weight of the screen cover (it's noticeably thicker than the cover on my Poetic case). That being said, it can come open.
This case does not have sleep/wake functionality.
The angle of the tablet when standing up is really nice, make it much easier to view when sitting on the desk.
I'd love if this case had magnets to keep the cover closed and for sleep/wake. However, it is so much better looking than the Poetic that I think I'll just live without that functionality. Right now, it is my primary case.

Thats so disappointing... So many other companies add it in, you'd think they would too.
I think Apple has a patent on the magnetic smart cover so it might be that Google just doesn't want to get into it.

It can't be that, because the Nexus 10 has an official magnetically-operated smart cover that wakes and sleeps the device.

Here is a quick hands on from Droid Life: http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/10/first-look-nexus-7-2013-official-google-play-case/
Meh I'll stick with my Portenzo Book cover with a elastic strap and magnetic sleep/wake = $25
Well I would prefer to go with poetic slim rather than with this one...poetic is much better some around on comparison with that one and more over its not much expensive and worth of its cost too...

Kellen broke the nexus, but he managed to get it snapped back together. Said the fit was perfect, but so much so that atking it off, if done incorrectly, can break the tablet apart
Can anyone compare it to ASUS Premium Cover then? just wonder which is better,..

Here's Samsung's own list of accessories. I'm hoping to find the Spare Battery Charging System at in-store somewhere at launch, as even with the claims about battery life on this phone I'm pretty sure I'll need it. I bought the battery alone (official) for about $20 on eBay for my original Epic, along with a cheap knock-off charger, but it seems like it would be worth having the nice stand this time. Plus I suspect since we're kind of a one-off on the battery it might be a while before we see the accessories popping up online.
The other thing I'm looking for is a good holster. So far all I've found is this which may have to do. I've always preferred clip-in holsters, but I had a leather one carry me through my Moment and Epic that I've been happy with, so I may do the same again.
Here at the sprint stores, we'll be selling a slim case with built-in kickstand
It's pretty nice. It's all black, the back is a sort of tough nylon weave, and the kickstand is a black metal band the runs the whole width about a third of the way down, and a tiny hinge in the middle, so half of the band is the kickstand. I like it because it's a nice alternative to traditional plasticky cases, and the kickstand appears to be pretty durable. The fabric feel will definitely take some getting used to, but one upside I've found so far is the awesome amount of grip...this thing should never slip out of your hand.
EDIT: when I get in to work today I'll try and take a couple pics and post em up here

I just returned from the closest Sprint store (an hour away) and while they didn't have the phone, they had 2 cases and a set of screen protectors. The case in that picture is exactly what the Sprint store had. It was even in a Samsung labeled clamshell container, making me think that maybe its a Samsung original product??? Anyway, I thought it looked very nice and would have bought it had they allowed it. They said the pricing wasn't available yet, so they couldn't sell it.

I'm hoping it will fit in my Nook Color case with 3 position Landscape stand. I'm pretty sure I can modify it to fit becuz I love that damn case and it cost me $35

The Crazy On Digital case below via Amazon works great and looks sharp. It is for the Playbook, but fits the Fire perfectly.

Things to watch for in cases
One really important thing to be mindful of when buying a case is how close the case is to the home key popup button.
I have a Speck case I like except for one super annoying problem: the bottom of the holder is right on the edge of the screen so it makes it impossible to press the home popup key. You have to bend down the holder to make room for your finger. Granted the holder part is pretty thick, part of its function is to act as padding between the case and the cover.
Oh, and also make sure you can put the Fire in the case upside down because at least one app I tried doesn't properly rotate the screen so I have to put the Fire in upside down when using the case as a stand. I think a reverse opening case would actually be best but I've yet to see a "manga style" opening case.
I bought the PU case from ebay (as mentioned by the OP). I figured at $9 shipped it would just be an experiment.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PU-Leather-...ccessories&hash=item45fde7f83e#ht_2692wt_1037
I have to say it's not too bad. It seems to fit well, and the stand seems to work OK in both positions. I only really wanted it to travel with on the plane, and it won't be a permanent case, but for the price it does it's job. It has a magnet catch to close it, which isn't very strong, but does the job. It is also quite a low form factor, so it doesn't bulk up the overall thickness of the Fire too much.
Frankly, I prefer the feel of the kindle outside of a case, and with it being rubberized and made of Gorilla glass, I'm not too worried about scratching/marking. I just wipe it down with a damp cloth every few days.

When you fold the cover back, does it lay flat? I've seen some where it doesn't, so it leaves a space of say .5" or so on the side with the flap. I hope this is making sense, I'm tired. I want to get a case, but I don't want it to have that space on the side. I wish I could find the picture of it again to make myself clear. They never show pictures of the cases with the cover all the way folded back
I'm not sure what you mean, so here are some pictures of it in both positions. Does this help? Sorry, they aren't particularly good quality!

See how on the side of the flap it doesn't actually sit flush, thus doubling the size that is held in that hand. An yes, I know thats for the touchpad, but just for reference.

Yeah, it can, but what that does is make the flap protrude maybe 3/4" out of the front. So there is no real optimal fully flat position that keeps to same form factor of the Kindle itself. Each position requires you to kind of mold it to sit there, but that is probably because it's new, and doesn't have a lot of give yet.
At the end of the day, it's $9 delivered, and for that money I believe it's a reasonably disposable purchase. I'd be pissed if I had paid $40-50 for a case and didn't like it! (although I suppose I could always take it back)

You make a good point. Really as long as it sits flat, I'll be satisfied with it. Thanks for taking the time.
Hi all,
I'm currently protecting my xoom with the typical book-like leather case that protects everything (back, edges, screen...) but I find it too heavy and big in my hands, specially compared to the 'plain tablet'.
I've thought of buying a simple TPU case (protects back and edges) but this won't allow me to put the tablet in 30º to write, as I currently do with my case.
The best idea would be a case like ipad's 2 smartcase, that covers the screen and allows putting the tablet at 30º for writing... do you know of something similar (including homemade hacks) to it?

Hi.
Thanks for answering, but that does not solve the main problem: with that cover, you can't put the tablet at 30º for writing.
The one you linked is also made from SILICONE, which attracts dust as hell. In case of buying a "silicone-like" case, I'd recommend those made from TPU :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic_polyurethane
Like those:
But they have the same problem, you can only leave them "plain" at the tablet, not like:
(See minute 0:20).
Thanks anyway for answering.

There are some thirdparty "smart covers" and they are not "sued" (example: targus)...
I can't adapt them to the XOOM due to 4:3 vs 16:9
Notice that the above is exactly what I'm looking for: like a TPU case + smartcover...
Thanks
I am also looking for this!
I found this while searching for a case on Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Folio-Leath...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item4ab85b8c18

I have one of these case, and it's too much weight and "size" for a tablet.
That's why I'm looking for a "smart-cover-like" case.

No, but I wasn't asking for that feature; just cover the screen and being able to put the tablet at 30º for writing will be enough for me

Hi.
Official motorola's portfolio case is rated very badly by people in almost every forum/webpage I've seen.
I'd prefer the one you linked. In fact, I have one of these. They are very good when you take away the tablet a lot from home, because it protects the screen and the back with a rigid "leather" cover.
The problem is that weights too much (adds about 200-300gr to the xoom's weight) and that makes the tablet bigger in size (width x height). That's why I was looking an smart-cover-like case for home, because I put the xoom in the shelve (as a book) and I just need the screen to be protected while still being able to put it at 30º for writing...

Great, thank you. The weight is not a problem for me as long as the functionality works well
Well, I use Moto Portfolio case and it's really good I really recommend it! My friends with another tablets already asked me where can they find one, because they liked it... So there's my opinion: buy one Moto Portfolio Case and a BT keyboard for typing, it looks amazing

Awesome-ness
I use use this one, looks like you are reading/carrying an old book. It has a few turn-able pages to add to the deception. If you left it visible in your car, no one would know the wiser, you can keep it on your bookshelf.... It's not cheap, but well worth it in the long run. This is more for transporting the device, not for practicality. Great during boring meetings, work or school!
link for purchase?

As for the design, this case is awesome. But when I read the reviews, people said this case material is really bad, started to peel just after first months or so And as of the price, err, better keep looking for other case
I use the Motorola Portfolio, it's great!
I just purchased the Incipio Premium Kickstand. Love it!
I have a Zoogue genius case.. sturdy, protective and virtually any angle of adjustment means it's perfect for changing positions away from a table.. 5 stars.

Case-Mate has a tough case available soon that seems to compatible with the dock. Only downside is they didn't cover the charging-flap. Wich make it look weird and a lot of the side unprotected.

I made a request if there will be other docking-acceptable models and another tough-model that covers the flaps.
That would be ok if the uncovered flap bit, matched the bottom half, the magnetic charging is definitely accessible.

The official Sony smart window view case will work with the dock when the front of the case is folded to the back. This is what I intend to buy.
Just received a batch of these (10 for $16) from a seller on aliexpress. They're from the same factory as the 'terrapin' cases made for the Z1C.
Very light plastic with rubber finish and holes in all the right places This was my fave case for the Z1C so glad they're making them for our new baby. Gonna keep a couple and the rest are going on fleabay :good:
Now I just need a phone to put inside it

From the pictures I've seen of the smart window covers, they have a cut out for the magnetic charging, you won't even need to fold it open to charge it in the dock.
I've managed to only find one video yet of the thing in action including, how you attach it. Sadly it's in Italian but you get the gist from the video.
It looks like the inside of the cover that attaches to the back of the phone is some sort of sticky? plastic that attaches to the glass back, rather than the usual plastic type tray that clips on, this does make it more form fitting, I don't know how secure or long lived it would be though. Take a look and see for yourself. (This is for the Z3 but the Z3c also has a version which will be the same, just smaller)

That's annoying. They've gone from one extreme to the other. I suspect a lot of people with the CM Tough for the Z1C, like myself, ended up cutting a gap for the magnetic charger.
TBH that's the only port I really need access to. I very rarely connect the device by USB and the SD and SIM both go in the phone when I get it and come out when I sell it.
Here's hoping for some well designed tough cases.

Yes, that makes more sense. I was going by the description given here - http://www.clove.co.uk/sony-xperia-z3-compact-scr26-style-up-cover
But now I've seen a description of the charger dock and it says the pins are compatible with our without a case, and the window case seems to be very thin material anyway.

When your beauty gets a scratch or breaks don't blame Sony then but yourself..
Case Mate barely there is out:
https://www.gadgetwear.co.uk/case-m...r-sony-xperia-z3-compact-black?filter_name=z3
Seems dock-compatible!
But: same unprotected side as the tough edition.
Already a report on a shattered screen from a drop:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIFgcCoWEZs
So casing seems the way to go. Already preordered the CM tough for convenience until another good case pops up.

Hey.. was just kidding.. I will certainly have a cover for this phone considering that this is a phone I intend to use for at least the next 2-3 years. Been using my GS-II for the past three years with a cover and is still looking pretty good all because of the cover. But that said, seeing this beauty without the cover is a treat it in itself
Really waiting to see the official style cover from Sony for this phone similar to the one for Z3.
Received a hard shell case from eBay this morning, will protect sides but not much protection top and bottom, nice and thin. £1.95 on eBay delivered. I'll post some photos when I get the phone, maybe tomorrow.
I must admit, after seeing the video, and not having a glass phone before, I'll be looking for something that's probably Gel for bounce, non flip & definitely with a cut-out for docking port only. I've had a good look on Amazon/Ebay etc. but it's too early to tell as the phones not actually out yet. Hopefully the clove case will do for the interim until the pictures a bit clearer and thee's some user reviews on the various options. Definitely needs a case of some sort though that's beyond doubt.
Anyone found a flip case with auto wake feature for the oneplus 7 pro?
Too bad OnePlus does not provide this cover with launch ?
Not seen the OnePlus version anywhere although there are some flip cases around in both Amazon and eBay.. I'm also waiting for the OnePlus case though..

These look nice if a little on the expensive side.. I'd have sprung for one if there was some protection top and bottom. Still might.

In order to a do auto-wake the phone itself has to have a sensor for that magnet. The Galaxy phones have that, for example, but I didn't think the 7 pro has one. I'd love to be corrected if it does.

There are apps that will utilize the proximity sensor on your phone and turn the screen on when opening the case. I used the below app on my S8+ with my Otterbox Strada, it worked without any issues.

So I have 3 flip cases currently, ordered the 4th (the one that looks like the OEM flip case) that's going to be here next week.

You can see them all in the attached jpg.
They each have their pros and cons, none of them are ideal (the Otterbox Strada is my ideal case, a tank that's lasted my old S7e the past 3 years) and NONE ARE SMART COVERS.
The far left in navy is the one on my device right now. Like the form, the color, and corner protection. The drawback is that I question how screen protector friendly it is, as the sides actually curl in PAST the factory-applied protector film. Don't know if the case will will fit with a TGSP installed. My guess is it won't, which is why I'm using it now.
The middle one has the most coverage along the sides, but it's thin compared to the case I just discussed. From my experience with its 6T counterpart, it's relatively durable so it will likely be my go-to when I apply a TGSP. Don't like the form (full-length spine where it folds, front cover is not merged into the back case) as much as the other two.
The one on the right is the Nillkin, a brand I've used since... my Nexus 6? Love the form factor, hate the durability. Expect the case to last for about 3 months before it's starts cracking, chipping, tearing. This one lasted 3 minutes -- one corner cracked when i put the phone in. WTF.

I'd be willing to pay Otterbox more money for a OP 7 Pro Strada case. Such a great case.
Brilliant review reaper000 thanks very much.
Dammit OnePlus get on with the official flip case.
I'm waiting for the Nillkin to be delivered. Oh no! Bad luck with that. Take your advice on the durability.
I actually prefer the full spine so that middle one might suit me. Prefer the complete cover on all sides too. My OP3 somehow got scuffed top and bottom in the official case. I don't seem to need the padding. Never considered the black but that looks ok.
Oh that damn kick stand fold.. Dino why do many cases have that. Hate it. Would try and glue the thing down.
Thanks again. [emoji106][emoji106]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Official-F...5T-6T-7/153444097176?var=&hash=item23b9fb1c98
Just received the Nilkin flip case in black.
Pleasantly surprised by the quality. Soft cloth inner. Hard plastic full protection holster for the phone. Accurate cut outs. Hard nylon backed combined fake leather back and cover that folds quite flat and out of the way.
Doesn't sleep or wake, although the proximity sensor does already deal with that so not an issue for me. No magnet at all to help the case stay closed.. this is a smart minimalist cover that sacrifices ruggedness.
9/10 from me
