While Google might be charging $19.99 for the dark gray case, it will be charging $9.99 for two-day shipping and as of right now, there doesn’t appear to be any other option for customers looking to protect their Nexus 7 tablet with a new official cover.
The official Nexus 7 case is now in stock.
Google’s official Nexus 7 cover is a very simple solution for those that want to protect their new 7-inch Android 4.1 Jelly Bean tablet. It features a hard plastic back that snaps around the device and it also offers a cover to protect the screen.
The case also allows for simultaneous charging and headphone port access for those that wish to keep their headphones plugged in with the case on. It weighs 4.7oz and for now, it’s only available in dark gray.

@Raza….you go to play.Google.com. That’s the only place where you can buy the case as of right now, unless you go to eBay, which I do not suggest as I’ve seen them on there selling anywhere from $60-$100. You want the play store online, so just enter “play.Google.com.
