1st generation rugged case

[Ashley O]

I have a 1st gen nexus 7 and I need a rugged case for it. I found a few that I like but can't tell if they are for a first or second gen. I'm thinking they are second gen in which case is there somewhere I can find a case for the first generation? I was looking at the gumdrop case since it fully covers the tablet.

Hi Ashley, welcome to Android Central! A lot of times when I'm somewhere like Amazon they seem to differentiate between first and second generation Nexus 7 cases by placing "FHD" in the description for 2nd generation accessories. On Amazon I ran a search for "Nexus 7 2012" case but they still had some 2013 parts mixed in the results. Here's a few that I found:

Flexible Gel Cover Protector

Otterbox Defender (THE Rugged Case)

Bobj Rugged Case

Poetic Revolution Case

The new nexus has a rear facing camera right? This case doesn't seem to have space for that and the front camera appears to be center so would that make it for the 1st generation?

Yeah, that looks to be for the first generation 7, also the reviews are dated 2012 so that verifies it.
