Just got this case from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005MZ35NM/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
Amazingly the only folio I've been able to find. I have the same style case for my iPad and I must set this is the way to go. Though I can see the desire for a portrait mode . The hand strap is a great touch for that.

Wow nice find.
Not sure if it's the same kind of case, but I just found
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/M-Edge+...218402861274&skuId=3441552&st=nook&cp=1&lp=15
while I was looking for a case of my own. Since the Amazon one is out of stock, it seems like an alternative.

It looks great and the size is perfect - compact and slim. How does it feel in hands - solid? Does it block the mic hole at the top?

Looking at the pics, it looks like the NT would snap into it at the four corners rather than any edges. The NT's mic is a small hole at the top of the device, offset from the center. I doubt this case would block it.
[Edit]
Sorry, I should check the reply more closely before posting. I was looking at the one from Best Buy.
This is the one I picked up. It's pretty nice, a couple of different angles to stand the NT up, and it surrounds the whole thing, so it's pretty secure.
edit: I'm not allowed to post links yet, but search on amazon for crazy on digital's folio case for the Nook Color
This may seem like a dumb question, but can you stand it up in portrait mode with this case?
@DssTrainer Has it came in yet? What do you think of it?

I had this one for the nook color, and I loved it.
Well i just bought one from amazon. It will be hear Wednesday. I will Take pictures, and write a in-depth review on it by next Friday. I will probably be buying a couple cases, and writing reviews to help people make their decision. Im starting with this one because it has the holes for speaker in it. Which is an important feature.

ordered this before I even saw your post.
Got it, hate it. No way to really fold the cover back and use it in portrait mode. Cover doesn't close flush with the nook.
Really nice quality leather.
If you case closes flush with the nook then I might be wiling to get a replacement and see if this one is defective but I don't think the magnets are strong enough/the groves to hold it in portrait prevent it from closing flush.
Just got the Speck Fitfolio in black. It fits very well and does not make it feel bulky at all. They have also extended the "vegan leather" on the back over the hard shell making it look far nicer.
Ok I purchased this case. Like the feel of it and its not too bulky. BUT, whatever chemicle they used to coat the leather absorbed into the bezel of my nooks rubber paint coating and caused a brown spotted discoloring.... I tried to clean it with alcohol and other cleaning products but its absorbed in the coating ... im pretty pissed to be honest. I just orders a skinomi woodgrain skin to cover the damage up, and plan on taking pictures and contacting the case manufactor to have them buy me a new nook! WARNING TO ALL!
I purchased this case
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005MZ35NM/..._am_us?ie=UTF8
I've had it for about 3 weeks but haven't used it due to a very
strong chemical smell. The smell transferred to my hands after unpacking the case.
I've been waiting for the smell to go away before using it but after reading posts regarding damage the Nook finish I may never use it.
At the time I purchased my Nook I also picked up a B&N case that was discounted 30%. It's much better quality, I really like clips that hold it in place. Very quick and easy to pop the Nook in and out. The B&N case was approximately $10 higher cost but I feel it's higher quality case and worth the cost difference.
I find the smart cover case of my iPad 2 is ideal for typing in "landscape keyboard" mode. I haven't found any cases on eBay etc that do this except some really bulky/fugly ones. Has anyone found anything elegant/thin along the lines of the iPad 2 smart cover yet? I realize the GT7.7 doesn't have the logic to turn off when the cover is closed, I can live without that!
The original Samsung OEM case/cover looks very nice but doesn't seem to stand on its own in landscape keyboard mode

As long as the surface is not overly smooth, the Samsung Original Book Cover case does stand in landscape (thanks to rubber strips that adds friction). See pics. May not *look* especially stable, but it does seem to hold out nicely.
Ironically, I would like to see a case that allows my tab to stand in portrait mode, since I'm more likely to read that way. Never seen one before.
I have a case similar to the official iPad1 case. Very slim and snug fit. Doesn't add much to the size of the device, keeping the original slimness. Its faux leather on the outside and suede cloth inside. It has the same standing mechanism as the iPad1 case too. Comes in a few colours, I got the brown one.
I've been looking for exactly this type of case and was amazed they are made. I believe I can post images now and so I'll put some up later.

A similar one popped up on eBay last night for $25. Seller is in HK of course. What site did you find this on?
Tmall.com taobao.com
chinese webiste
that one cost RMB120
I found it at http://www.minihotsale.com/rock-sam...blet-light-cool-folio-leather-case_p1435.html
$35 shipped, not terrible. I like that it doesn't intrude on the bezel the way some of the other folios do.
Thanks cyuet for pointing me in the right direction! Will advise once received.

Thats the one. I personally prefer cases that give all round protection and this case does that. I find cases that only grip the corners can come loose over time, and badly made ones have terrible tolerances and may not even adequetly hold the device.
Thanks

I also think that a case like the smart cover for the ipad2 is ideal for the tab 7.7. I have seen those for the 10.1 and 8.9 on ebay, and I am pretty sure they will pop up for the 7.7 soon.

Very pleased with it! I've tried the official case but this is much better. It even has magnets on the flap to stop it flapping open when carrying.

That's basically exactly the same as the one I posted above except my link is cheaper and located in the UK (minus the screen protector but they are pence anyway)
The one I ordered also has better protection at the bottom
Case from eBay
I snagged this one as it closely resembles the one I really like for my GTab 7+. Will post up pictures when I get it.
After finding out about Brando screen protectors after reading a thread here on XDA, I decided to see what other accessories they had for the 7.7. And they had a couple cases in different colors that looked worth a try. Ive been wanting one that snapped on and only covered the edges and not any of the screen itself because sometimes they will cause a screen protector to peel, and I found this. It comes in 4 colors. I ordered the "ice" color which is basically clear because I wanted to still be able to see the silver back. And since it was only $10 I decided to pick up this one too, also in the ICE color. So anyway Ill write some short reviews about them when I get them. It takes 7-10 days from Hong Kong. Heres a couple pics also.
Just ordered 2, these look awesome! Thanks for posting, I'll post pics when I get them.

I got a similar one, with an X in the back. It works, but it increases the size a bit (not so much thickness though, but the length x height), without adding much value (like a stand or wallet pockets or whatever). And it's kind of slippery in your hands, but not so much in your pocket.
It does protect the tab more than the OEM book case, but the Book Case looks better, it's more portable, it's a stand and slips into your pocket easier, while not being slipery in your hands when folded. Protection is just against scratches though.
The worst thing about the case like this is the power button. It's kind of hard to press on/off and sometimes I turn off the tablet trying...very annoying.

Yea, I will most likely be using the snap on most of the time.
UPDATE: Ive received the cases and will write a short review with pics.
Ill start with the snap on case. First thing I noticed that there were 2 spots that had what I would call a stress mark. You know the whitish look that plastic gets when its been bent and is close to breaking? (see pics) This was right out of the package. And it had a scratch along the back as well. Very cheaply made. But it does fit, and fits pretty good. But compared to the TPU type it just doesnt look good, so that one will be shelved. No point in returning it. Comes in Blue, Pink, Black, and ice (clear) I dont recommend this case.
The "ice" colored clear TPU style "X" case is awesome. Its made very well and fits perfect. Since its clear the silver of the tab shows through and looks great. All the ports are cut out well, and it has a very nice grip feel to it. Which of course is a great thing to have on a nearly $600 tablet. My only complaint is one that happens with most of these style cases, and that is that it makes the buttons stiff, and less responsive. They work, but require a lot more force to register. Other than that if you want a case that protects, and still shows the awesome silver back of the 7.7, I do recommend this case, and I prefer the ice colored one. (clear) It does come in red also.
I had also ordered this sleeve . I knew there was a chance it might not fit, but based on the measurements I knew it would be close. Well it didnt fit. It was only $7.45 shipped so no biggie. Ill give it to my mother in law that has the first edition 7" galaxy tab.
I just checked their site (brando), and they have a new case choice that looks like it might be good. Its a snap on type, but is rubber backed rather than the hard plastic. Comes in Colors: Black, White, Blue, Pink, and Red. I might order one, but I learned from my last order to expect at least 16 days for shipping.
Anyway thats all and heres some pics.
Now that you have had the clear back cover for a few days, how is it holding up specially around the buttons and sim/SD slot? I ordered a similar one from an eBay seller in china and it has fallen apart those two areas. This was within 2 day of first use, I had not dropped it so was very upset about it. I did pay $4 for it so i guess I shouldn't complain.

I dont even use it. Already collecting dust. I use the X case sometimes, but love the poetic case and use it the most. Looks great, protects great, and has multi stand angles. Highly recommend.
I've had a Diztronic case for both my GNex and S3, so naturally I had to get one of these for the DNA as soon as it was available on Amazon. Diztronics are simple, full backing and side rubber bumpers. There's no screen protectors I like the pronounced power and volume buttons on this case. It makes them much easier to use. As always, the Diztronic gives a solid feel to the phone. It no longer feels like it's going to slip and fly out of my hand. The back has openings for the camera, flash, and speaker, but not for the notification light.
If you're a minimalistic case owner, get this. Great stuff for $15 (incl. shipping).

The only thing that bugs me about these cases is that they appear to over up the back notification light.
It does... I might drill a hole for the rear notification light on my diztronic

I also ordered this (http://www.amazon.com/EMPIRE-Black-.../B00A83TNBG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354352083), so the back notification light being covered doesn't bother me. It's obnoxiously priced at $4 (worth about 50 cents), but does the job well. And even though it says for DNA, it will work for any phone.

Right...shows you how much it's made specifically for the DNA...
I just received this case today (ordered from Amazon; $12.50 with free 2 day shipping and no tax). This is definitely one of the nicer TPU cases I've had. There's a nice soft-touch, rubberized kind of exterior with the gel/plastic interior. It certainly inspires confidence in being able to protect the phone from a rough fall. It doesn't bulk up the phone too much, either.
If anyone is still on the fence about a case, give this one a close consideration. (It's so cheap, what have you got to lose?).

Yes. There's no "sweet spot" that Qi emits from to cover up. Just throw it on the pad and it works.
i noticed one of the reviews on amazon stated the diztronic is going to make a revised version that addressed the back notification light.. anyone hear that?
Well, I had my first 2.5 foot drop today. I was 3/4 asleep plugging it on my dining room table when it slipped and flew out of my hands. It landed on its length-wide edge (the side with the volume buttons) and I caught it with my feet after it hit so it didn't tumble. While this is an ideal fall, I'm happy to report there's not a scratch or crack and the case looks like I just took it out of the box. Worth three times the $15 to me at this point.

I'm in your boat, i had one for my GNex and S3 too. i love their cases. i bought one last week and it's already waiting for my DNA when it comes in tomorrow.
Just a heads up this case suffers from the same problem main others do, which is it doesn't play well with earphones/headphones with a bigger jack. I had to cut mine so that my shures would plug in.
Damn didn't notice that

Just received my case, and while i normally don't like cases, this one feels great. even better than my old Gnex one. i think the materials they used are a step up from what they used before. The only issue i have as mentioned above, is that the volume cutout is a bit small. I assume other cases would have similarly sized cutouts so its not a big issue but i will probably be cutting mine so it can fit my larger jacks.

I love the ultra-Crystal and Ultra-oleophobic from Spigen. Have used on all my phones since Captivate.

I also ordered the Bounce case (it shipped today) and the crystal screen protectors. The Bounce case looked to be the best combination of value, looks, light weight, and protection. I'll report back on their performance once I've got everything (The screen protectors are the only item I've gotten so far)
I wonder how the buttons will work. I hope that the "feeling: that you are pressing the button remains..

My wife has a TPU for her HTC one and access to the buttons suck!
the bounce looks like a very light weight skin....no additional protection except the fact that it will help avoid getting your phone dinged!
I'm sure once the phone is officially out we'll be getting better cases...patience is not a virtue
OP, if you're looking at Spigen, I like the looks of this one...

Looks a little more classy than the one you linked (in my opinion)
Bah, they dropped the prices on the neo hybrid by $10. I'd have considered it at that price Oh well, the Bounce looks great. I'll know in a few days for sure
Spigen is really all over the road on their pricing. First the $1 promo on select items, then they jumped to $29.99, then $34.99, now down to $24.99 its fine to lower the price but they better fix the ones they charged and haven't shipped and perhaps fix those that just shipped as well. It would be good for customer relations.

Finally on their FB page they are saying if you want one to let them know. They are gauging interest, that what I read in the thread/poll about that case. Since they cannot commit to one I am looking at this instead http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSF2SSGT3K-DG Sedio Ledger with metal kickstand. Has magnetic closure and big S-View window. The price is right, I just wish they offered some better color options, but I might get the red/grey combo for some flash.

This looks phenomenal. Just wish it was a bit cheaper. For those who have used flip covers in the past how do you feel about them compared to regular cases? I just ordered the neo hybrid as my first note 3 case and currently have a Seidio active on my note 2 which I like(although it's a bit bulky). But I'm thinking about trying the above Seidio Ledger case when it is released. My biggest concern is it becoming a nuisance with the extra flap hanging around, especially when taking pictures or attempting to use with one hand. Thoughts? Experiences?
I had the Slim Armor View on the GS4 and I didn't find it intrusive at all, I simply flipped the cover back and used the phone as if it wasn't there. The Ledge from Seidio looks to be the same. Obviously when using the camera you won't want the cover folded back even if it does line up, the extra plastic in between the image and the lens will likely cause for crappy images.
Still its a small price to pay for full protection and a view window.

Received the Bounce from Spigen the other day and without phone inside it fits my Seidio Active holster from the Note 2 very well. The top half of the holster that the screen faces doesn't appear to be wide enough to protect it edge to edge, but sold my Note 2 on 8/31 so I cannot compare.
Yes, I am one of those that uses a holster. At work only though.
I am 6' 3" and 240lbs so I tell myself it doesn't look as obvious, but my wife and kids say otherwise

Seidio should have the Surface and holser friday . Have a couple hybrid Spigens now but I need my surface case and holster. I just don't want to pay the initial price. They will be half price in 6 months.

I have the bounce and it compliments the phone very well. And it looks classy to me. Gives me a good grip too. I am actually preferring it over my sview for now.
