[Nexus 7 Accessories] Evo_Shift:
I received this today.

http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Slim-fit...=1343100974&sr=8-2&keywords=nexus+7+slim+case

Although mine is apparently the old version. BSCstore is sending me a new version for free and not making me send the old one back. This old one lacks the sleep/wake function that was listed in the Amazon posting. They actually proactively emailed everyone who ordered one of these old ones stating that Amazon put up some stock of the old cases and were not supposed to. (They were sold by BSCstore but fulfilled by Amazon) (As you can see one person gave a 1 star rating before they received the email apparently). I assume the new case will be the exact same with the addition of an embedded magnet.

I must say this "old" one fits the Nexus perfectly. As you can see from the pictures the case isn't really all that "slim". The materials used do not really allow it to be a thin case. I knew this from my transformer prime and kindle fire cases, which were the same. The inside is like a microfiber-like material and the outside feels like leather, though for the price I am kind of surprised it is actually listed as leather. I really like how it doesn't cover the bezel and the stand functions perfectly. The corners of the case are also protected as well as any case could protect them. The cover of the case can be folded over completely backwards as well which is important to me. Some cases cannot do this, surprisingly.

There are two Elastic straps on the case which I will never use. One, I assume, is to hold the cover shut. However, the latch/clip thing is tight enough that I do not think that small elastic band is at all necessary. The second elastic band thing is to put your hand in. I wouldn't really be bothered to use this unless I was a door to door salesman or something and had to carry the tablet all the time. They are nice features I suppose if you do need them.

There is also a stylus loop which I will not use. In fact, I may cut it off. However, it is a nice addition for those who will use a stylus.

The only thing I don't like is the speaker grill is half covered and I know from taking my back cover off that there are two speakers behind that grill and one of them is behind the case no matter what position the case is in and that no matter which brand you go with (blurex, poetic, moko, etc). From the pictures I have seen on Amazon they are all designed this way. Not sure why they didn't extend the cutout over the entire speaker grill. Maybe the "new" version has changed this but I doubt it. I am guessing the way the case folds in that spot prevents them from manufacturing it with the hole extending to both sides of the fold for some reason. I have not done extensive testing but I have no doubt it will affect the sound coming from the device and would probably be most noticeable while watching movies or listening to music.

Edit - Here are a few pictures of the replacement showing the new cutouts for the speaker and that there doesn't appear to be an obvious area where they just haphazardly stuck a magnet. They did a good job of hiding it. Also, with the last picture I am just showing that the tablet remains on when the cover is flipped all the way around.
