Looks good, but unlikely that the N7 will last 20+ years, let alone be relevant for that long. Seems a bit overkill, although I really wouldn’t mind having one. I prefer the $15 Timbuk2 sleeve I bought at REI (was on clearance for some reason). I guess I don’t get to use it as a stand, but that’s not my jam. To each his own.

Yikes, that thing is nice and pretty, but just too pricey for me. I guess that’s the price you pay to have nice things.

I don’t know why people are whining about the price. There are plenty of $10 cases out there you can go buy. This is a higher end case hand made in the U.S.A. Some of us are willing to pay a premium to support companies like this.

Some of us like the fact that the Nexus 7 is inexpensive, but also like nice things. I wouldn’t buy a Pantech just because it’s cheap, I want GOOD. GOOD and CHEAP together is a real win!

Treegloo has a great case too. It’s all custom made. Everyone should check it out if they have a nexus 7 or iPad or a Kindle.

For about $30 just for supplies could make this case leather bound book case, the hardest part is distressing the leather to make it old looking. I was a boy scout and got my leather working merit badge. The guy selling these things must have them made in china to turn a healthy profit, if he makes them himself he probably gets only a 30% return after supplies and labor.

ugliest art ive ever seen

I don’t like that the magnet is just sitting there inside the cover where it can scuff/scratch up the glass from being rubbed up against it in a bag or something. should be melded into the top cover. Nice case though, very original and definitely looks unique.

So you guys prefer this case over treegloo? I’ve been debating whether to go with Portenzo or treegloo for a case.

I like my case better, it cost 15 bucks on Amazon.
