Their Alano Series case looks awesome, but kind of hard to justify $130 (with the brown map-ish look) for a case when the tablet cost $250.

How is the official case? Is it worth $31? I bought a simple $13 sleeve that works very well.

Check out Portenzo. High quality case with lots of different options, including the sleep/wake feature.

Looks interesting. I am hoping for a bit more solid case. I do some backpacking and The N7 is just light enough to carry books and movies with me! I have not really looked for any yet, however.

Yeah, definitely! I was searching high and low for a Nexus 7 case in-store, but could’t find one due to the fact that at the time the N7 was still extremely new, but I really needed a case for it(makes me nervous carrying it around in fear of dropping it…). I also bought a cheap piece of nothing designed for my N7 from Amazon.com, but it was taking a year and a day to arrive, so I said, “F it!” and went out to search for one.

Then I found the case pictured above at Office Depot for $15. Originally designed for the 7″ Galaxy Tab. Took it home and tried it out. Great fit, haha. Then a few days later, the case I ordered from Amazon arrived and boy did it suck. Waste of $9. So I stuck with this one.

I think the only Con with this case is that it doesn’t have the magnet for screen on/off. But I can probably fix that.

That’s pretty crazy for a so-so cover. The early reviews turned me totally off, and I ended up ordering something else with magnets, for $10 free shipping.

On a side note, am I the only one with eye strain problems with N7? I get a minor headache after using this for a few hours. Not sure what’s going on….

kinda disappointing….ryan’s link to the dodo case looks MUCH nicer…for not that much more. and aside from asus’ case, seems to be the only ‘made for the nexus’ case out there…not just a generic 7′ tablet case that being marketed as a nexus case simply because its the right size.

I ordered mine with my N7, thus negating the extra shipping of the cover. Funny thing is though, since I already have my N7 in hand, and my cover has yet to even ship, it’s really like I ordered them separately and got free shipping on the cover anyway. Go figure.
