When I bought my Stream 7, I also picked up the HP flip/hard cover (HP Spares# 790144-101, HP Component # 789865-101). The case fits snugly and the hard cover provides nice protection for the screen. It's made of some sort of hard/rigid plastic with a matte finish on the outside, and felt-like fabric on the inside. It's segmented in two place on the cover to allow it to form a wedge and hold the tablet in landscape position for reading. There are magnets in the sections that hold it into a wedge. It doesn't have a portrait position. The back of the case has a cutout for the camera, though I've never actually used that camera. The Stream is held in place by four tabs, one at each corner. The top, bottom and sides are open (the left side is open once the cover is open), so all ports and buttons are easily accessible. Overall, it's a great case and adds very little to the Stream in terms of size or weight.
I also bought from Amazon the Infiland case with bluetooth keyboard (with a micro/USB cable for charging the keyboard, and a bonus OTG USB cable). The case is a leather(?) case on the outside, with a felt-like interior. The Stream fits into a leather pocket secured with velcro. There are cutouts on the back of the case for your camera, and around the edges for the buttons and ports. The flap has an elastic band to either hold the case closed, or hold the BT keyboard in the case.
Pairing of the keyboard was simple and works pretty well. Obviously it's a small keyboard with chicklet keys, but it is still much easier to use than the on-screen keyboards. For meetings where you need to type some notes, or write a few long-ish emails on the road, the keyboard is fine. Beyond that, and you're probably going to be using a laptop anyway.
Once the case and keyboard are folded up for transport, you're left with a thick brick. Not that heavy, but certainly bulky. The footprint doesn't change that much, but now the Stream doesn't fit in a jacket pocket, but rather a briefcase or backpack. Still lighter/smaller than most laptops, but not as portable as just the Stream itself. Because of the size/thickness, I now use the HP case everyday, and will use the Infiland case when I know I'll use the keyboard (being away from my computer most of the day).
The OTG cable is a nice touch and works fine.
Overall, the case seems well made, and the ~$30 paid is well worth it, even though I will only use it infrequently.
