Who will build the first rugged case?

---

I'm rough on my devices. They're usually in an OB, Gumdrop, or Ballistic case. W/ that said, who do you think will be the first to build a rugged case for the N7.

I had an OB Defender for my SGT 7.0 and it was perfect. (back when OB was still pumping out quality for Android devices).

Sure they add some bulk to a device but I need that bulk and protection.

Honestly I hope Gumdrop builds one for it also. Messaged them about it, but haven't heard anything. Have had their cases for the SGT 10.1's. Both the military and standard (had three 10.1's). Really no difference except color. W/ that said, I like theirs a little more than OB's designs.

Ballistic I'm torn about. They have great prices, but man oh man those corner...knobs....could really be trimmed down some. Looks like a 4 pocket pool table.

Maybe even Trident or Incipio will get in the game. Or possibly some unknown. All I know is, I look fwd to SOMEONE, ANYONE putting out a quality non folio case. (Not the folio or TPU type, b/c IMHO they offer very little protection.)

I'm actually all of these companies combined and I can tell you I'm making them simultaneously. I'll be charging a $560 pre-order price and you'll get it next year.

Sorry EmilVee but Fred Mucklethwaite of Warmington on Sea is already making them from old car tyres and superglue, plans to get them to market early next week. Shortly after that Mr Chan will be knocking out 5000 copies a day from a shed in his back garden in Shenzen.

BobjGear is on line for September availability.
I've got 3 of his super durable, super protective cases already for my Toshiba Thrive.
They add a bit of weight and bulk, but they're the best protection you'll find.

I just got my nexus 7 yesterday, but I'm also ready for a rugged case. I'm not rough on my devices. I'm actually the opposite. I baby them, but I like the extra piece of mind and assurance that a rugged case offers. I also prefer the feel and look of a rugged case on a device. I contacted gumdrop, ballistic and trident. They all said that they weren't working on a case for the nexus 7 right now. But I'm sure with the popularity of the nexus, that there will be plenty of cases before long.

I have a Seidio for my Atrix 4G, and am looking to get the same thing for the Nexus 7. The combination of soft and shell/hard case with the Seidio line has been my preference over Otterbox for some time.
