Would this case protect the nexus 7 in a backpack? Is the cover solid enough that it could be hit with the corners of text books while closed?

I've never tested it or tried other cases. The padding is substantial and provides total coverage on front and rear large flat surfaces; the corners are covered and most of the edges. The exceptions, of course, are for the necessary openings for: power button, volume toggle, USB port, headphone out, etc. I suppose the corner of a book could touch there but doesn't every case require openings?

I believe cover is rigid enough to adequately protect the Nexus. It has a soft outer skin but a hard inner frame. I like the cover.

The corners of a textbook may damage the case. If struck really hard enough, it may damage the glass. I hope this helps you. If you could keep it in between books or in another pocket of your backpack, it would be better.

Yes it would. It is a very sturdy case, and has survived a 6 year old's inquisitiveness quite nicely.

This case will definitely protect the nexus 7 in a backpack. The case is made of molded sturdy plastic with a slight cushioned leather covering.

Yes, probably. The sides are exposed, but the corners and face/back are protected. You could get some scratches on the exposed areas but it can hold up to drops, bumps, etc.

I use the: EXOTEK Premium Slim-Fit Folio Cover Case With Multi-Angle Stand For Google Nexus 7 Tablet (With Automatic Sleep/Wake Function) (Black) by EXOTEK and it fits and works perfectly for $9.00

No. When in the vertical position this case is set into only one position using a small metal hinge. When in the horizontal position the case uses a smaller plastic leg that never really worked very well. I would still recommend this case to any 2013 Nexus 7.

Yes, but only in the back zippered section which offers no protection for your Nexus 7. The GRID-IT is perfect the small bits of tech you have floating around your bag but not for big items like the Nexus 7.

no. first the 7" tablet will swim in it (I have a nexus 7 too) and the touch capacitance of the tablet screen will get very wonky/flaky with multiple layers of plastic... i can't really recommend this case for anything except emergencies.....but certainly not for a 7"... just too loose of a fit.

I'm not sure what you are asking Jonathan, but this is a very nice cover. We are very careful with our tablets, and most always know where they are. We have not dropped our tablet with the cover on it. I hope I answered your question.

I do not have the newest version of the Nexus 7 but if the height and width have not changed, the new one should fit in the case snugly. There is a Velcro strip on the flap which secures the tablet in the case. This could be pulled a little tighter if there is too much slop in the case. Think of the case as an envelope. The tablet slides into the envelope and the flap secures it.

Not really. It is more like a book cover, it doesn't actually close . I like it a lot because its weight is negligible yet it protects the tablet. I highly recommend it.

Yes it is durable. There is a slot for the nexus to sit in. But you can't have a case on the Nexus. The keyboard and Nexus clamp together. The Nexus screen is down so you don't have to worry about it breaking. When they are clamped together it wil be fine in a backpack

Hello Kathleen, NO. I wasn't sure so I went to Gumdrop Cases website but they "weren't sure", duh! So I went to Google'website and compared the two tablets (Nexus 7-2012 & Nexus 7-2013) as they are referred to. The placement of a rear-facing camera lens as well as dual speaker grills on the new N7-2013, would prohibit using that particular case, as well as the majority of the rest. It is a great tablet from what I've seen/read. To think 10 years ago that something that size with those specs would be available to the general public would have been science fiction. Good Luck!

Can't answer that one. There is enough space for a Nexus 7 tablet. I added a picture to illustrate.

for the most part yes. The bottom where the speakers are is uncovered and there are very small areas between the hinge of the top cover and the bottom cover that are open, but it's a very small area. I would say it has the best corner protection I have seen in any case without making the device bulky.

Simple answer would be yes but it isn't really great protection. What it is great for though is travel when you put it in and out of a backpack etc it is bullet proof! The front part of the cover snaps off as well so if you want to keep it out you don't have to fumble with the whole case. It works well and is solid leather.

It stays closed very well. Even being jostled around, like in my backpack on an airplane, case stays closed. I've had mine for a couple of months and no problems and I travel a lot . I think it's an excellent product for the price. Your kindle will fit nice and smug so shouldn't even fall out.

I see a link for the 7" version. Here it is: MoKo Slim-Fit Multi-angle Folio Cover Case for Google Nexus 7 Android Tablet by ASUS, BLACK (with Smart Cover Auto Wake/Sleep Feature)

There isn't a magnet keeping the case closed, but it does stay shut. From what I know, the Nexus 4 doesn't have a magnet in it that would keep it closed anyways. But overall gravity works just fine to keep it closed.

I can only tell you it fits the Nexus 7 32 GB perfectly anything larger would make it difficult to close the front cover cpmpletely.
