Best Cases for the New Google Nexus 7 FHD Tablet (2013)

Updated on August 14, 2013

Cases Compatible with the New Nexus 7 FHD Tablet (2nd Generation, 2013)

Here are the best cases and covers for Google's new Nexus 7 tablet. This 2nd generation Nexus is almost 2mm thinner than its predecessor and weighs less too. It's a lot different, with a higher resolution screen and two cameras this time, so when buying a case, make sure you get one that fits the newer model.

I'm surprised that this one is so cheap because rooCase is known for making high quality cases. It has a built-in stand with Portrait view and Landscape view.

This is described as a super protective case that's designed to prevent the screen from breaking. It looks like it might withstand drops and bumps. It's designed for young girls and boys. If you're buying the new Nexus 7 tablet for your children, consider buying a case too... If you decide against a case, then the alternative is to buy an accident protection plan (see below).
 

Insure against spills, drops, and hardware failures

Since there aren't any waterproof cases available yet, this might be a good alternative if you're worried about accidental exposure to liquid. Square trade's accident protection plan comes with free 2-way shipping for repairs and a guarantee that you'll receive a fixed tablet or refund within 5 days. Pretty amazing service!!
 

Sleeve or Carrying Bag for the Nexus 7 2.0 Tablet

If you like to use your tablet 'naked' but worry about protecting it while traveling, then this might be just what you need. It has a zippered enclosure and ample protection to keep your Nexus safe.

If you're looking for a gel or rubber skin like cover, this might be a good one. This one is advertised as providing a comfortable grip, and it has a square like pattern on the back that might do just that. It comes in a variety of colors: Black, Blue, Purple, Red, Pink and Green.
 

I know that a case isn't for everyone. A lot of it depends on how you use it. If you travel with it often, then you might find a case necessary to prevent scratches or damage. If you're mostly using it at home, then I'd only buy a case if I found the tablet hard to grip. Some tablets or phones are really slick, while others are easier to hold.
