google nexus 7 ME370T

[20GT]

Hi All,

We just got a Google nexus 7 ME370T for our 5 year old grandson.
very confusing to find a case that will protect it.
First? is this first gen or second gen?
any ideas on a case that will fit it correctly
were looking for a hard case outer body with a silicon cover over that,
kinda like some cell phones. then it can have a screen cover? or i don't know?

any help would be cool?

ME###* signifies that this is part of their MeMo line of tablets and not a Nexus 7 tablet. I don't believe this was a very popular tablet, so finding accessories for them is probably going to be slim pickings. You're best bet is to hunt on Amazon for something.

so that's why it doesn't look like either of these photos?
the box says nexus7

 

[20GT]

so what exactly would i search for MEMO nexus7?

I would look for Asus MeMo ME370T. That's going to turn up the most accurate results.

ok with your help i have found a picture of my device
Google Nexus 7 tablet from Asus: hands-on video and photos | The Verge

Does your device have camera on the back?

 

[20GT]

no but neither does the one in the article

Hmm, it does sound like it is actually a Nexus 7 and not the MeMo ME370T.

Here's what the ME370T looks like:
Asus Eee Pad MeMO 370T

As you can see, that one has a rear camera. I don't know of a Tablet that doesn't have a rear camera other than the First Gen Nexus 7. As such, I will move the thread back. This is good news after all because that was a popular device and there are lot of accessories on Amazon.

 

[20GT]

so it is def a first gen??

 

[jhawkkw]

Definitely. Second gen has a camera on the back and since yours doesn't, it can't be one of those.

I use one of these on my first gen: Amazon.com: Seidio ACTIVE Case for Google Nexus 7 (CSK3ASN7-RB): Computers & Accessories

It has a cover which also doubles as a kickstand. If the Amazon one doesn't come with a kickstand, you can purchase directly from seidio: SEIDIO | Google Nexus 7 (2012)

Hope this helps. It helped me figure out which one I have.

I use both leather case and transparent skin, thanks to the combo my N7 has survived several hard droppings on the floor.
