In addition to the Nexus 7 speaker being covered up, the power and volume buttons would be covered up when using the Nexus 7 in the case stand landscape mode. The buttons would also be covered up when the case is closed so you cannot lower or raise the volume if listing to audio. Then there is the little problem of the case's sleep/wake magnet being in the wrong place so it fails to wake/sleep the tablet when the case is opened/closed.

So while you could insert the N7 the "other" way it becomes somewhat difficult to manipulate the power/volume buttons not to mention one feature of the case no longer works. In any event thought it was something those who are left handed, and were looking to buy this style of case, should be aware of.

Another person reported one page back that the code was expired when they tried to use it.

I don't have the tablet with me but why not just hold the tablet "upside down"? I know that the screen rotates.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] clockcycle:
+1 WOW!

I was impressed by the X series TPU's quality/build and features.

BUT, OH MY! This case could and would easily sell for $30+ at Brookstone or any high end electronics/accessories shop.

It is that impressive IMHO.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] racerex:
I've been using the Blurex case for a couple days now. I have to say I love and for less than $8 shipped I am totally stoked. Everything just works including the auto sleep when I open and close the case. Here are some pics...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bennor3814:
Sure you could rotate the N7 that way but the home screens, if you haven't modified the N7 to do so, do not rotate (at least they don't for me) so you'll be looking at them upsidedown, plus on the home screens the buttons (back/home/recent) will be at the top, not the bottom if the home screen doesn't rotate.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] brokentoaster24:
Got mine today. Love it. Thin, sleek, looks good and auto sleep works great.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] r0sh:
got mine today so far so good could be better but for the price i got no complaints at all
[Nexus 7 Accessories] morphiend:
got mine this morning and am impressed. it seems sturdy but still thin enough to fit in my pocket. it does add a bit of heft to the nexus though. it'd still be worth it at 3-4 times the 7.58 it cost. this will tide me over until i get the flipsteady.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] tcat007:
Also got mine. WAYYYYY better than what I got from Ebay. Nice tight fit, everything very well exposed (except maybe the left mic button, but it's OK), very light, nice "snap" shut, auto-off works great.

The only case I could see being better than this is if you could somehow hinge this cover directly on the N7, eliminating the back cover... but I don't think that can be done.... like a "flip-phone", but a "flip-tab".
[Nexus 7 Accessories] sensboston:
I have a question to you, dear case lovers: does anyone of you is using GN as an ebook? And you always read in landscape mode? (what is very unnatural on my taste) And you don't care about sticking security lock and non-attachable (to back) cover?

Also, the tablet holders are not helpful during gameplay (especially simulators).

I found that case (and all similar rebrended cases) design is very cheap and not too smart (but it's very simple, agree).

Full HD video review coming tonight!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] NotablyNice:
I was reading the hand pouch on the inside front cover leaves an imprint on the screen even while using a screen protector. Is this true?

Also, does anyone worry about the clasp scratching the side of the Nexus 7?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] krelvinaz:
Mine just arrived today.... installation was a snap and it is actually better than I thought it would be. Beats the temp slip case I was using.

Unless the hand strap was covered in something, not sure why it would leave a mark.

As for the clasp, it has the same coating on the inside as the rest of the case. Like anything over time, I imagine it might start showing some wear on the case of the unit, but what that would look like?? I've had other cases for my phone etc... and most of them will end up showing some wear on the device over time.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] fatboypup:
Mine came today totally surprised wasn't expected till the 24th I like my moko better I'm gonna sell this to a guy at work for $20 to make up for my next day shipping on the moko
[Nexus 7 Accessories] krelvinaz:
Anyone having issues with the magnet not turning and turning off the device.

It seems work occasionally, but consistently doesn't turn the unit on or off. I sent a note to the mfg about it. Wonder if the magnet they are using is now too weak to work properly where before it was too strong and would turn the unit off when you folded the cover all the way back.

One saving grace is that the power button is certainly more accessible in this case, but I still wanted the smart on/off function.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] The_Tech_Ninja:
Here's my video review of the case if you are still thinking about getting it:

blurex case

I'd love to get one of these but I can't seem to find any way to get one shipped to Canada. If anyone has one they no longer want, I'm willing to buy.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Khaiyan:
YouTube says video removed by user :/
[Nexus 7 Accessories] krelvinaz:
Still have not heard from the mfg about the smart feature not working most of the time. It does work occasionally, seems to work when the cover has been closed for a long time. But otherwise, it doesn't have any effect.

Short, dark video of it not working. I rarely do videos. Hard trouble turning the device on while holding the phone making the video.

*removed*

*UPDATE* Mfg contacted me and is sending out another unit. they are looking at the video to see what I was talking about.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] avinash4:
Under "more buying choices" select an option that is not fulfilled by Amazon. This will ship to Canada.

For now, here is a video review of this case. Actual review starts at 3:30. He starts out with the first two styles that failed, so bla-bla-bla for the first 3:30, lol. I'll put up my own review when I get mine, though. Think he could have done this slightly better :P

[Nexus 7 Accessories] sparkerjc:
The magnetic sensor deal worked great until I put a screen protector on it. That .01" is just a bit too much. The magnet is behind the fabric and the elastic hand hold covers it too, so there is a lot of barriers between the magnet and the sensor. Pushing firmly on the lower left when you shut it makes it work every time.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
This looks nice, might have to get it. I had one for my Asus Transformer and really liked it. Thanks for the heads up :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] goofball2k:
I have a screen protector on mine and it doesn't affect the smart cover capability. Are you using a dry or wet install protector?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] krelvinaz:
Replacement Case Magnet works Great!

The replacement case arrived today (very quick BTW)... It works perfectly unlike the first case. Not sure what the issue was with the first case, it would turn the unit on if you had the cover closed for a while, but I don't think I ever saw it turn the unit of and most of the time would not turn the unit on either.

The new case, turns the unit on and off without any issue. Fit and Trim is the same as the original and I Really like this case.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] sparkerjc:
Its dry, "Greatshield Ultra Anti-glare" I like the look of it. Maybe my magnet is just a bit too weak. After a few days of use, opening the case wakes the device about 90% of the time.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jack1984:
Here's a little review on mine, which I just received today. I'd like to thank Alex from Blurex for shipping an Ultraslim case in the place of the Magyc case I initially purchased, but had too strong of a magnet.

Good:

- Light and compact, I own a Magyc case and the difference in thickness is very noticeable.

- The bezel isn't covered, which really makes a difference when swiping and playing certain games

- Because of its compact size, It's very easy to hold in landscape mode compared to the Magyc case.

- It just looks good.

Bad:

- Because the front cover has a sort of snap-on latch to close, when folded back and set on a table, it is at an angle.

Situational:

- The elastic band that is used to keep the front and back halves in place arrived with one of them not fully stitched. Initially, I didn't think much of it but after only a few hours of use, it is close to completely fraying. The other fully-stitched side is very secure, though, and has not been fraying in any way. Just a percaution to those purchasing the Moko, Evotek, and Blurex cases: Check to see that the elastic bands are properly stitched.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] player911:
I bought one a while ago just because it was so cheap. I figured I wouldn't like it and my TPU case would eventually win, but I like it.

Seems to add pretty good coverage and support. For the price it is awesome. I've seen other cases that LOOK JUST LIKE THIS and sell for $30.

Very well made and really helps carrying the device around throughout the day. When naked or with the TPU case, I would occasionally put the tablet in my armpit when my hands got busy, but would feel it slipping and freak me out. This case adds some really good grip.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] St1ck33:
Just got mine as well. I also thought this would be a temporary case for me, but I really like it. Solid, well made, smart cover works, doesn't cover the bezel. I could see myself using this for quite a while.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] just lou:
Same here. I just got mine yesterday, and it's much better than expected.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Itsox:
I'm having problem to cases that's easily shipped to Sweden. Do anyone know a case similar to the Blurex one (and many others) that's avaible in e.g. Amazon dot co dot uk/Google-Slim-Fit-Multi-Angle-Automatic-Function/dp/B008Q7DDIA/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top which I guess is basically the same?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Khaiyan:
Thanks for the pics. I bought an identical case (Moko) however these pictures have got me slightly worried...it seems as though the small black elastic band is peeling away the microfiber interior. I am a worried that over time, the threading will completely wear away, causing the interior material to rip.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you also foresee this as problem?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jack1984:
As long as both ends are stitched properly, I don't see it as being a problem at all. I wouldn't worry tbh, as Blurex and Moko have been great with defects, I'm sure they'll work it out with you if you just let them know.

For me, a 2 minute gluegun job fixed it. I'm sure I could have again contacted Alex, but I just don't feel right doing so as I should have only been given a new Magyc case, but he was nice enough to hook me up with this instead. I was looking at a bunch of other cases when I first purchased the Magyc case, sort of as a permanent go-to case. I think I've already found mine in this one. It's great.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] nolook:
have one exactly like this but no elastic and no magnet...anyone know where the magnet might be concealed on this case?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jack1984:
Well, the sensor is located on the bottom-left side of the device, so the magnet should be on the bottom right of the inside cover.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] FA1:
Exactly right here. You can see the little circle which is the magnet (replace "xx" in http with "tt"; 10 post link restriction and all).

So, anyone unhappy with this case and have one of these that they want to sell? I really dont want to spend $18 on a case that was $8 2 weeks ago. :silly:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] player911:
I'll probably have one to sell here soon. I ordered this as a standby until my Poetic smart case shows up. It was already shipped and should be here Wed/Thurs. After which I'll move over to it and have my Blurex available to sell.

I had a TPU case prior and figured I wouldn't use the Blurex... but I actually like it a lot. I like how I can pop it in and out easily for when I'm at home and just want to run nekkid.

$10 shipped? PM me
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Zeros:

Hello everyone,

Indeed this case looks like awesome, and for a good price...I need one :laugh:

But there is a matter, I leave in France and amazon sellers doesn't propose to ship it to europe.

So I'm requesting some help, if some one within the US can make the transfer to europe, I'll really appreciate. :good:

You can contact me via pm.

Thanks in advance !

Its a good case. I bought t through amazon, the seller was Prestige Milano Llc but fullfilled buy amazon and it comes with a free screen protector and USB dongle.

Really? Well that's awesome! It doesn't say that it comes with anything on the Amazon product page. Thanks for letting me know, I just ordered one. :)

Is the USB dongle otg?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Freshtojeff:
I just got my case yesterday and got the same thing. One screen protector and the micro to usb dongle, thought it was just me haha.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] veeman:
Is it an OTG cable?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Freshtojeff:
Yessir, it is this right here.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] veeman:
Well that makes me glad I got the Blurex over the MoKo. Saved me a dollar right there :D
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Ikthus:
When did you guys order your Blurex case? I got mine a few weeks ago but it didn't come with a screen protector or OTG cable :(
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Freshtojeff:
Placed my order on Sunday and got it on tuesday :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] gsrrr:
How much did you pay for your case?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jfpcarreira:
Just ordered it! :laugh:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] veeman:
I ordered mine on August 30 and it's supposed to get here between Sept. 7 and Sept. 10. I paid $14.99 USD. Hopefully it will still come with the OTG cable and screen protector.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] dirtyhamster73:
I ordered my blurex slim case on 8/27 and received it 8/31. It was the second blurex case I bought from the same seller, who I believe was "prestige milano". The first case (I received that on 8/23) didn't come with a otg cable and screen protector, but the second case did. I actually emailed the seller because I wasn't sure why I received the extra goodies....he replied with "because, use it in good health". Thought that was nice.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] digitheatre:
Anywhere I can order this Blurex or similar cases that can do international shipping?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] veeman:
MoKo Slim cover is the same one and they have an international option.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] veeman:
Just received it. It came a day before it was supposed to come and came with an OTG cable and screen protector. The screen protector had some small scratches but that doesn't matter because I never use screen protectors.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kitsunisan:
Could someone mention how the sound is with the case on? I'd think the series of holes might muffle the sound somewhat.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brentmxt:
Hey guys,

I've had CM 7.2 Stable for a couple weeks on my phone. It was

working great until a few days ago when I tried to tweak the CPU

settings a little. Right now i'm using

Governor Smartass V2- Min 352 MHz, Max- 691 MHz

What CPU settings are you all using with CM 7.2???

Since I tweaked it from the default cpu settings I've been

experiencing screen freezes. Sometimes the trackball will work

sometimes it won't. It primarly happens when my phone has been

sitting idle for some time. I'll try to get it out of the lock screen

but it won't respond to my touch. I've tried rebooting, battery pull,

I've also tried lowering and raising the min and max settings. It'll

work periodically and then it will just freeze. Funny thing is I

don't know what the "default cpu settings" were set at. I've been

looking around a lot but couldn't find much.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjjjjshab:
I have never seen an issue here with 691. My experience though is that smartass 1 or 2 do not work as well as ondemand.

Tell me do you have any other overclocking apps installed?? Or any kind of app that effects the lock screen??

#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\=LTE
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brentmxt:
Hi-

I looked at my list of apps to be sure and no extra overclocking app installed. I'm using the default "CyanogenMod Settings" to get to "Performance" and setting the cpu from there. I have not installed any extra lock screen apps or 'lock screen security app' other than what comes preinstalled on CM 7.2. I don't believe I have any app that effects the lock screen. All of the apps I have are fairly simple, mostly developed by google inc. and nothing that tweaks or alters the device (I have Maps, a Speedometer, Navigation.) I try to keep them all closed though with the Task Killer app I downloaded.

I have switched back to OnDemand. So far nothing has changed and it's still stalling up (even though it's only been about an hour.)

Thanks a lot.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
Uninstall the task killer. Reboot to recovery. Wipe cache, and davlik cache. See if that helps at all.

#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\=LTE
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brentmxt:
Update

So I tried raising the minimum CPU And my phone would not respond at all in the lock screen the next morning. So I had to do a manual recovery and wiped the davlik cache and cache like you suggested (thank you Laie1472). Rebooted. Was able to navigate through my phone for about one minute and it froze again.

So I did a full wipe in recovery ( thanks to senior member SleepyEDB)

I re flashed cm 7.2 and so far it's running 'better' it still freezes every now and then in the lock screen and other places when I wake it up, but not as often. We'll see how it works tomorrow. Ive been searching through a couple other forums and one guy with a similar problem took his phone apart and found it was a hardware problem. Maybe I should send it back (BestBuy refurbished).

SleepyEDB said-

Doing a full wipe in recovery

Do the following steps in Recovery to perform a full wipe:

Wipe Data/Factory Reset

Wipe Cache Partition

Mounts and Storage -> Format /system

Mounts and Storage -> Format /boot

Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache

To do a 'dirty wipe', only wipe the Cache Partition and Dalvik Cache, steps 2 and 5.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brentmxt:
That worked for ONE day

So that was short lived. Once I did the Full wipe around noon it worked almost perfectly until for about 12 hours. I think it froze right before I went to bed. I woke up and it was completely frozen at lock screen again. I did another full wipe and reinstalled cm 7.2 and it froze again. So I did a second full wipe and it is now working. I really hope it will accept my nandroid backup if it freezes again because it's A LOT quicker. Than doing a full wipe.

Hope this helps anybody who goes through the same thing.

[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Hi.

I want to buy a new extended battery for my droid 3 because without WIFI I can't make the day on one charge.

Also, it skips from 10% to 4% in 1 second. (on all roms)

I'd prefer not to have a much thicker battery(case) but a little bit won't hurt. (so not the 3500 mah :P)

Anyway, I searched ebay and found many many batteries in the $3-6 range incl. shipment that claim to have 1800-2000mah:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Red-1950mAh...469871?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cbc6fa02f

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-1800mah...579346?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4ab4b8a3d2

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Replace...962837?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4ab65a7a95

Surely these can't be 'real'? They must be like 1000mAh, if any?

Does anyone have experience with these cheap batteries? If so, which one?

I know some have anker 1800 but they don't ship outside the US.

Thanks

[Motorola Droid 3] ZionCorps:
Looks like you got a good one.

I've always purchased my goodies from eBay because I never liked going to shop for them.. x3

Just shop around, look at the images, and read the descriptions. I've never had problems, though the batteries I purchased recently were for my old D2G. I received two of them from China with what looked like a custom-built battery charger and.. Well. A year later everything was still discharging and charging properly, no qualms! :]

If it looks shady, skip it and go to the next listing, basically.
