Info 2 Mid range Case for EU based peoples

I've been looking at the recommended cases on here & most are only available in the US. I found this on ebay uk, I haven't received it yet. The picture of it in packaging looks uninviting but if you scroll down to the other pics & watch the video (an English bloke in his front garden lol) it actually looks quite good. Because of one side being spring loaded it should fit the Nexus 7 perfectly. It has a magnet closure & can function as a stand.

They also give the exact dimensions that it will take. Colours are limited to blue (yuck) pink (yuck) black & brown.

I figure if I don't like it it will at least keep it safe until they get some proper dedicated Nexus 7 cases on the market. Or start to sell the offical case on the UK Google Play shop.

Anyone else got suggestions of cases for the Nexus 7 that they have seen/bought/like being sold from EU online shops?

I have gone for this one.

amazon.co.uk/Standby-Protector-MOFRED%C2%AE-Available-Mutiple/dp/B008GSMRAY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341869709&sr=8-1

If it is no good it will do for now at such a cheap price.

I'm just after a sleeve for mine. I currently have a Belkin pleat sleeve for my Kindle and it's really nice. It allows me to just use the Kindle "bare" without any extra bulk or weight from an additional case, and then to protect it whilst moving about.

Keeping my eye out for a similar sleeve for the Nexus 7 and I'll post here if I find one.

I received the case this morning & it is pretty good for the money. I won't be able to properly assess it until my Nexus 7 arrives. I'm hanging out for a TPU case.

Please Keep the EU located case suggestions coming.
