Hi right after I bought my nexus 7 2013 I bought what any sensible person would (a case) to be exact I bought the official Google bifold case ( pictures below) the only thing I'm disappointed about is the fact that it doesn't have a magnet for manger wake and lock so I'm trying to find the best way to install a magnet into the case
Here are pics of the case any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Tear up stitching, heat up what probably is glue keeping the stuff together, put a magnetic strip on the cover close to the bottom left side of the screen. Glue and hand sew it back using the same holes.
Thanks that what I thought I'd have to do, not very good with crafts.. Do you think that they might make a magnetic tape that is thin enough and strong enough to just put a strip on the inside cover?

Go through your fridge magnets and see which ones work, maybe you can cut a slit in the case and just shove one in there.

So I ordered the white back housing online for 14 bucks from china while my tab is sent off for newton ring repair at samsung. I'm looking for a white front border decal would be nice with a samsung logo. Would be nicer with integrated screen protector for a flush fit. Not to feel the edges on the decal. Please post pics of all white and even color swaps since I have a spare housing to paint.

If you're feeling brave and not afraid of a bit of DIY work on your tab. http://www.ebay.com/itm/32086618953...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1992wt_887
I bought it and it came poorly shipped it was cracked at top and bottom . The tablet that i have has two plugs next to the connector under there are screws that hold the case on . The dissembly vids on youtube do not show these so i broke my original case. But the new case fits a little kreeky but thats ok with me. Had to grind off little ears off the inside to fit... Never contacted the company for a new one or a refund. Been busy or woulda posted this along time ago.

ohhh, I may have to do a conversion on mine!! I wanted to replace the back cover anyways due to a few blemishes and the screen has a few tiny, unnoticeable scratches (if you don't know where to look but I know they are there so I always see them)
Looking for a new case for my nexus7 2013. Something to the effect as the original Samsung Tab 2 book cover case

and in the pink or purple color. should not be a rubber, but plastic, carbon, aluminium, etc..*
Front of must be smoth, magnetic folding is a rear of the case, inside, all without overlapping edges and display (screen).
Sorry for my bad english, I hope you understand me.

Your picture is broken, do I'm going to guess you want something like a portenzo case. Checkout their hardcover case. I have one, no complaints. I really like it.
Actually sounds more like a Poetic/Moko/RooCase type stuff. The Portenzo is a hard book cover. All of them are available regardless. (I have all of them)
Please send a picture of your case. Thanks.
I want something like asus travel cover should not be a soft rubber, want hard rubber, plastic.. form should be the same.
Thanks!

Have you checked Amazon or Ebay for cases?
yes I am. But smooth, without signs, tape I did not find. I could use the same instance as the case for galaxy tab2. The same as the Asus travel cover, but with hard rubber. I hope you understand me.

Looking for a cheap bumper case (side +back)
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=380759963133
I can only find these on ebay. Has anyone tried it?
It's so cheap I'm actually reluctant to try one. Obviously I want the Nexus branded at the back but they are frosty clear so it shows through.
Anyone?

UPDATE
Ok it arrived today. Tested and took some pictures. Lock and volume keys are spot on. Its a very solid fit. But as you can see from the picture, due to the shape of the phone (base is larger than top) there is a slight gap between the speaker grills and the speaker grill cut out but it does not interfere with the sound or mic 
For this price I think its worth it. All round protection and very slim. I dont like slim cases which have no protection at the top and bottom so its perfect for me.

Isn't a case that covers the side and back just a... case? Bumper cases are just the sides.

i have discovered the hard cover cases tend to pur scratches on the device . and Soft cover cases make it bulky
so have deciced to just get a sleeve. and all is solved. bes tof both worlds = naked device and cheap protection
I do have a case for it but after trying it I realised that it is a shame to cover such a beautiful phone, so I removed it.

EDIT : unless your perfect, you are likely to drop your H1 when removing or putting it away in your case, and then it will look worse than having an case on, there are a number of threads about thin cases, also you could get a stick on full body screen protector type protection is better than nothing, but an naked phone is just looking to be dropped.
John.
Yes but I did realise that the phone does get scratches when the front is not protected . The area around the bezel will chip if put togerther with hard keys .

But what if you drop it while holding it in your hand or someone bumps into you? Even if it's a little bulky as you say, isn't it better?
I just have a bumper on mine which looks nice, gives some protection, and is very thin.

Planning on getting a nexus 5 in a few weeks and wanted to know if anyone had tried this case, and what you thought of it. Couldn't find a YouTube review even, but It looks nice.

I've been using it for a few days now and I'm still not sure if I'll keep it. It is a great case just a wee bit more bulky than anticipated. But I suppose I should have expected it to be since I recently jumped from an iPhone to a real phone.

Actually I have this case and love it very much , I add on the extra protection when going out and love that it also protects my camera lense .

How easy can you get the cover off the camera? I saw somewhere it was kind of difficult?

Quite easily its made of a rubber like material but offers good protection I believe.
