5-RooCASE SlimShell with Origami Cover


RooCASE actually makes a number of cases for the original Nexus 7 and for the new Nexus 7, but the one that earned the most nominations is the RooCASE SlimShell with the Origami Cover. In short, the SlimShell is RooCASE's slimmest model (and only available for the new Nexus 7), and the Origami Cover is designed to fold at multiple angles to make for the perfect soft-shelled case design. The specially designed cover can fold up almost like a triangle, which keeps the tablet secure on a work surface both in portrait or landscape mode while you use it, or you sit back and watch video or read. The case body is polycarbonate, and the case cover is a soft polyurethane with a microfiber inner lining. The SlimShell also supports auto-sleep and wake thanks to the magnets on the inside of the case, and it comes in a variety of colors to choose from. A number of you rallied behind it because of that Origami Cover, specifically because it keeps the tablet upright both in landscape and portrait mode, which is a much overlooked feature in affordable cases. Plus, many of you noted that it's exceptionally thin and won't add a ton of bulk to your Nexus while you carry it around, which is a huge plus. Finally, the price is very definitely right—you can snag one for $10 at Amazon. Now that you've seen your top five, it's time to put them to an all-out vote to decide the community favorite. The honorable mention this week goes out to Google's Nexus 7 Case. It's guaranteed to fit, it's $50, and it looks sharp. It's available in a number of colors, and function-wise it works as a simple folio, as a typing stand, or as a media stand you can use while you're watching movies or in a Google Hangout with someone else. If the others here are too fancy for your tastes, go for the simple, basic, made-by-Google-for-Google option. I'm partial to the white one with red trim. Have something to say about one of the contenders? Want to make the case for your personal favorite, even if it wasn't included in the list? Remember, the top five are based on your most popular nominations from the call for contenders thread from earlier in the week. Don't just complain about the top five, let us know what your preferred alternative is—and make your case for it—in the discussions below.
