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.
Sent from Tapatalk, using Tapatalk
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)

Thanks for the suggestions. Tough call between the Moko and Poetic. I ordered the Poetic. I figure that when it gets a bit ratty I'll get the Moko.
I really like the Moko so far.

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.

Not happening on mine. I think there are two different cases called "Origami." Mine is the SlimShell. I did have issues with the unit turning off from the magnets on the Speck case on my 2012 Nexus.

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.

The Google cover has no magnets anywhere. The gray is a denim-like fabric and the other two felt like synthetic leather to me. All the colors smell horrible.

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!

I've been a big fan of the slim cases that Blurex has made for the 7" tablets, specifically the Acer A100 and Nexus 7. So, when I picked up a Hisense Sero 7 Pro, I contacted Blurex to see if they intended to produce a case for it. Sadly, they passed, but I noticed a similar case for the $99 Sero 7 on I-Blason's site. It lacked the cut-out for the rear-facing camera, but otherwise looked like a nice option. Well, about a week ago I spotted the same case for the Pro version being offered on Amazon for $19.95 and ordered it. The package arrived yesterday and so far I'm very pleased with the fit and build quality of the case.
Like the Blurex cases, it doesn't cover the front glass as all. It protects the corners and offers easy access to all the ports and buttons. Unlike Blurex (which uses a leather covered spring-clip), I-Blason's case has a plastic clip on the side to hold the cover closed. It's attached to the case with elastic and opens easily enough with one hand. You can also use the clip to secure the flap when the case is open. As long as the plastic doesn't break, it seems like a nice feature. If someone wanted to lose the clip, and X-acto blade and some sandpaper would make easy work of it.
It also has a built-in hand strap which is nicely made as well. There's a piece of Velcro which holds the hinged part of the back leather to the plastic case. If you open it, the case acts as a 3-position stand for the tablet in landscape mode. The only this that's a little strange is the hinge on the front cover. I've played with the case for a day, and haven't found a situation where the hinge actual comes into play. In fact, it actually causes the cover to pop-up slightly when it's closed, although I'm sure it will flatten out after a couple days.
The verdict? I'm really and impressed with this case. It's nicely designed and has a high-quality build. For people who aren't a fan of cases that add bulk or cover the bezel, I highly recommend the I-Blason Slim Case.

Hope so. Not a deal breaker I hardly use the camera to take pics more of a around the house tablet for me. I'll update when I get it. After more reading I noticed it said MD-702 tablet in the listing. I contacted the seller. I have yet to have my coffee this morning and just saw it held business cards and fit the Sero.
Thanks to the OP for your pics and review. I just bought this case.

The hinge fold on the cover is there for "keyboard" mode.
Works well, doesn't bounce around and I was pleasantly surprised how quickly I was able to mash out some text considering how highly I regard the iOS keyboard on the full-size iPad.
My only complaint about the case is the "light colored" micro-fiber interior, which I'm afraid will get nasty with hand grossness as time goes on.
Returned my case, plastic clip already broke. Will keep an eye out for something new.

When I saw that part of the description of the case I wondered. There's a very similar case available for the Nexus 7 that uses the plastic clip design and either the thread here at XDA on the case or the Amazon reviews were full of complaints about the same problem with the clip breaking. Sorry to hear that this one suffers from the same thing.

Yep if the case was cheaper I could deal with the broken clip but for $20 it's going back.

They are going to discontinue this case. They sent me an email
We are out of the heated black cases and it is likely they will be discontinued due to a defect with the clasp.
Refund
I did get a refund for my case though...... I didn't expect it but they wanted me to give a product review for this case and I told them honestly that my clasp broke after 2 weeks of use.... Next email was they refunded...

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.

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.

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.

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.
Anyone bought this?
It really look nice ...

I just got my moko. Looks identical. It is indeed thin. One thing I don't like is the front cover is so thin it is almost sharp around the edges. So when you hold it with one hand, pinky wrapped around the bottom, it kind of digs into your finger.
Looks nice but I'm not gonna be keeping it on. I have 4 more to choose from. So far my favorite is the poetic case.

Would be keen to know if nay one has this yet, considerably cheaper than the Moko and looks identical.
It looks exactly identical to the moko ultra slim case that I have on my n7. It is probably just a rebranded moko.

Taking into account the shipping on the Moko its more or less three times cheaper, so I have bought the bullet so to speak.
I will endeavour to post my thoughts on it when it arrives. Delivery pending I should have the tablet and case by the 2nd Sept

Ok so the case is here initial impressions are good, case feels nice smart cover works well.
I will take some pictures and try them get them online today.

Here are a few amateur snaps I took from my S3 (CM camera). The case came with a screen protector in which you can see I have failed miserably at applying, a stylus which I will never use and a small lint free cleaning cloth.
The magnet seems solid and when I hold the tablet glass side down the front flap stays put.
Any questions or photo requests let me know.
I'll post an update after I have used it for a few days.
Got mine today, not bad for 99p :laugh:
I bought this cover today ( 9.95 € + 3€ shipping) from amazon !
Looks good!
Won't a magnet damage the screen?
Not bad for £2.90 from Amazon including shipping. It is slim and light. :laugh:
It actually fits nicely into the Mivizu Neoprene sleeve.
The magnet works but would have been better if it is a clasp like the Blurex.
I feel the cover might move (if not inside the sleeve) when it is thrown inside a backpack and the backpack shifts.

Where you guys get it for so cheap?
I've ordered mine from eBay for 18€. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
I'm also doubtful about the magnet closure, I've never used any magnetic folder, so will you assure me it won't damage my precious Nexus 7?
The price has gone up to £9.90 -

As I said before I was worried about the magnetic case closure.
It was really hard to remove the Nexus 7 from the case.
I received my Blurex case via my friend in US. Its heavier than the InventCase and the clasp at the side make it feel secure. Fits nicely into the Mivizu Neoprene sleeve as well.
Mine arrived today, payed £1.99 + £2.75 shipping. Some pics https://plus.google.com/photos/1068...ms/5919832529468769553?authkey=CPefjKjstZjqTQ
The only difference from the MoKo one is the texture and I'd actually say that this (the InventCase) looks more premium than fake leather.

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 plan on keeping this tablet for many many years. It's just perfect for me. So I want to protect it as best as possible.
Right now all I'm using is a big laptop cover (I use it for every tablet I've had. All of them fit inside and that way I don't have to buy specific covers every time I change tablet).
I'm debating whether to buy a screen protector again or not. I tried a Spigen one (very expensive) and it had bubbles on one side that wouldn't go.
So how do you guys have your Nexus 7 protected? Only with a screen protector or a case? With both? Something else?

I have a ghost armor screen protector and a poetic folio case. I can't tell the screen protector is there and the case is a nice second line of defense. I don't understand people who complain about their screen cracking but don't have any protection?
I use a soft pouch for my 2013 Nexus 7, which I previously used for a year on my 2012 Nexus 7. It's actually the soft pouch that came with the Asus EEEPC 701 netbook, which I modified to to fit snugly.
It works pretty good, although I did manage to damage my 2012 N7 in it, though it was dropped onto a carpark from 6 feet, after it fell off a stack of books and paper while I was trying to get my car keys out of my pocket. It did several cartwheels and came to rest 3 metres away. All it suffered was a small chunk missing from the silver bezel on the corner. Had it been pouchless, it would almost certainly have suffered a smashed screen etc.
Long story short: I only use a custom soft-pouch for my Nexus, and it works pretty good.
Just got a poetic slimline case on mine. Good enough for me.

95 percent of the time its just naked, I'm not in a tendency of mistreating expensive devices, but if I head out camping etc then I just chuck it in a 99p slimline case.
Poetic revolution case. I had one for my 2012 and really liked it, so I wouldn't buy any other for my 2013.

What's the difference between the original and new? I just got my slimline the other day, and it only has two magnets on it. While my friends has three. If I have the original I definitely want to send it back for the new one.
No screen protector but I do have Poetic case.

My Nexus7 just fell off from the bed and although wasn't a hard hit this was enough to crack a corner a little, I never thought that this tablet was so fragile. So now I will buy a TPU case to protect that damaged corner and avoid others. That's slim plastic line around the Nexus 7 2013 screen is very fragile.
This is the TPU case that I will buy:

I just received the slimline poetic case from Amazon. I read there that 2 magnets is the latest. Mine seems to be a perfect fit both back and cover.

The original case had three magnets. People complained that the case was too hard to open (and there were two other very minor issues). The case was modified and all customers who purchased the original case received a free replacement. I am still using the original case as there is absolutely nothing wrong with the design or functionality.
I guess they changed the design because the case now costs less to manufacture. Remember, the customer is always right, even when they are not.

I'd suggest this: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimli...d=1388576970&sr=8-2&keywords=slimline+nexus+7 if you really want to protect your device.
Ordered me the Moko Ultra Slim case. Won't get it until Saturday but it looks to be similar to the Poetic case.

I only have a pouch and a screen protector. Get a screen protector. It really protects your screen from cracking during drops. So not only it protects your screen from scratching, it also absorbs the impact from dropping.
I have an Xtreme Guard screen protector and a rooCASE Origami SlimShell case. The device is well protected with this smart case that provides a stand in portrait or landscape. I have had small mobile devices around since the mid 80's and I have seen what evil lurks out there for them, not the least of which is gravity. While I like the look of a naked device, it's no use to me broken.

Actually that was my first choice, the price was good and look nice, but some comments complain that this case don't have good duration and start feel apart with not so much time of use. I notice that the corners of Slimline are hard plastic that isn't shock resistant material like TPU. Also I just want some extra protection without all extras that have smart cases. Anyway thanks for your suggestion.
Snugg case + 3mk Solid screen protector.
