No I meant that because if there is not lining, there will be no obvious cut outs. There would be rubber bumpers at the corners from what I understand.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Give me a test and I'll test it. I already did a few google searches via voice search and it came up fine. Asked to play music two different albums and also asked for the weather without issues. :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] arrjaytea:
Welp, this will make the fourth case I've purchased now. Just ordered one.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
LOL give me your budget!!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] m4rk0358:
Thanks for the review Jimmy. Can't wait to get mine. Ordered it on the 28th and still waiting for the shipping confirmation email.

My order:

Ebony frame, Manhattan Blue Cloth liner, and a Kinetic Latch closure
[Nexus 7 Accessories] flatrhino:
I haven't seen many complaints. Care to share/school me?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] m4rk0358:
Someone started an entire thread bashing this company.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I highly suggest emailing them or post on their G+ page. My last email was quickly responded by Jen within the hour on a business day.:good:

And as for the 'bashing' thread. I posted there as well and posted my opinion on the guy. I don't think he responded. :rolleyes:. I'll let that thread die. It was a complaint on his personal experience, where I do not fault him, but a newbie badmouthing a company just on his/her/it experience rubs me the wrong way. I mean there was no defending treegloo in his/her/its eyes.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] m4rk0358:
Oh I already know they're quick to respond. Jen answered a question within 30 minutes before I made the purchase. My order is still within the 5-10 business day window so I don't need to pester them yet.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Ah ok. Cool. For the "basic" cases like mine with a few add-ons, you should be fine. But if you had added ALL of that fun stuff, that's where they have to do some quality control stuff because that is indeed an "one-off", unique case :cyclops:.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ppp38:
The case looks really good. I ended up with a Portenzo case because it was a little cheaper and had more appealing colors but I really prefer teh TreeGloo's wood frame. I'm glad that you are happy with your case!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] flatrhino:
was geroste

These are so beautiful... I'm just apprehensive about the cases breaking after a year of use (reported from them iPadders).
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Well, we will see how long this will last. I have an i-Blason case that's on order, shipping on the 8/10. :D
[Nexus 7 Accessories] flatrhino:
Which one? The slim-folio or the thicker ones? Just took a look... neither their price nor that of the EXOTEKs are too bad to get while waiting for an order from Treegloo... :P
[Nexus 7 Accessories] arrjaytea:
With regard to their customer service, I have no idea where the complaints in the other thread came from, but Jen was back to me within 10 minutes yesterday, and promptly conversed revising my order, took care of the changes, and was in general awesome to deal with.

If the case itself reflects that quality, I will be thrilled.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] lin013190:
I love my treegloo as well! Had the same thing as Jimmy except yellow interior. A-Perfecto!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I'm getting the orange slim one that kinda looks like the poetic slims out there, just different color lol.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] redmonke255:
Looks nice but so expensive. Tbh you can make your own for less than $30
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Yes probably. But I am paying someone to build one by hand. To me this is worth it. I honestly don't have the know-how to build one from scratch let alone have the time with my 4 year old running around vying for my attention lol.

Can you go ahead and make one? If you can do it and do it better, I bet people would buy it from you for a competitive price, depending on "how" your hypothetical case is made (ie materials). I for one would look forward to seeing it first hand, because I know many people like you are more talented like me :silly:.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Funkybooyea:
I have a quick question for anyone who has ordered and received their case. When they sent it out did they send you a shipping confirmation email? I ordered mine 3 weeks ago and have not received anything.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Yes they sent me an email with the tracking info. Email them to ask about the status of your order.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Brandonxcore:

[Nexus 7 Accessories] arrjaytea:
Again, they didn't start producing them until the 30th of July, at which point it was still going to be a one to two week (in business days) window in which it would ship.

Read. Comprehend. Win at life. :good:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Funkybooyea:
Thanks I can read just fine. It was a simple question... the main reason I was asking was the fact that they told me they would send it out last Thursday and still no word. I just wanted to ask on here before I pester them... But thanks for the info.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] flatrhino:
Hm, I wanted to get a screen protector on mine and this is actually a concern to me. Have you noticed other areas of uneven pressure linked with the case?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Nope. I actually figured the reason why the imprints. With my suede lining, the corner where the imprint is happening, the corner with the suede is overlapping a little. In turn will lift the corner a bit and that's when the imprint is happening. I have used a metal pen and pushed the suede lining down as flush as I could. I actually reinstalled another screen protector to start from scratch with no imprints to see if it happens again. Sorry to say it did, but it's barely there.

However saying this, it doesn't affect the tablet AT ALL and I can't tell it's there because when looking at the tablet dead on, you can't see the "imprints" at all.

I have been in conversation with treegloo in g+ and they said if it really bothers me all I have to do is "say the word" and they will work with me in getting it corrected. Again awesome customer service! :good:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] hotelmrrsn:
ordered mine on July 31st, requested an update and received this:

"Hi Mike,

Shipping for pre-orders began on the 30th (pre-orders opened on July 15th, closed July 30th), and the production schedule was 1-2 weeks from the release ship date. We are working very hard on Nexus 7 cases and are aiming to reduce the wait time as soon as possible.

I checked in to the production schedule, and your case should be expected to ship out at the end of next week. Thank you very much for your patience!

Regards,

Jen

Treegloo Products"

Hope this helps any of you that are in the same boat.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] mmegalodon:
Thanks. Jen told me it should ship early last week, but I'm gonna give it this week before I consider bothering them more. :D:thumbup::thumbup:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] micromax:
Ordered mine on July 19th and still don't have a tracking number. I have contacted Jen 3 times and was told to expect shipping 3 different times, all unfulfilled. Needless to say, I am growing thin on patience.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Character Zero:
Same here. I asked 2 weeks ago, Jen said end of the week. When that passed without tracking, I emailed again last week. She said there was a production miscommunication (ok no big deal) and it would go out at the end of the week. No tracking, so I emailed again, she said they were working on the kinetic latch and I would be getting the latest and greatest and it would go out Monday (yesterday) or today but that I would definitely get my tracking on Monday. I have not heard anything. I am trying my hardest to be understanding and they are very quick to respond, but its getting kind of crazy. I pre-ordered in the hopes that production on my case would begin a little before the July 30th release (assumption based on them saying pre-orders would start shipping on the 30th so they would have to be in production before then). But now we are 11 business days from the 30th so I am hoping it really is something like they are perfecting the latch and holding my order until it is right. It would have been nice to get some unprompted information about the situation. I mean, when someone says you will get something on Monday even if its not ready, send me some kind of update.

Edit: Spoke too soon, got the shipping notification just now!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] arrjaytea:
Yeah, that's definitely unfortunate news to be sure. It does sound like they've been overwhelmed with orders (not to make excuses for them), but it would definitely be nice to know when things go a little sideways.

Also, nice screen name ;)

On the flip side, I actually emailed yesterday to check up on my order as well (leaving on a business trip Friday, hoped to have it before). Jen emailed me back a few hours later that my case was scheduled to ship today, but I actually received my confirmation last night. Ordered Friday 8/3 (PM), so depending on your perspective either 6 or 7 business days to shipping.

Perhaps it's also important to note that I did not order the kinetic latch/stand, as the collapsable Aviiq stands I use for my laptops/MIDI controllers/production equipment work wonders for tablets as well.

Anyway, will definitely add my own review to this thread once it's received.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] arrjaytea:
Light on time as I am nuts at work, but wanted to share my experience with everyone as well.

First, and already noted/undeniably superficial, there's no denying how cool this thing is to unbox.

In terms of size, this is likely the bulkiest of the three cases I've used. I'd say even though it adds a bit more girth than the Blurex case, it's by far and away more sleak, particularly with regard to it not covering the Bezel.

While it may look like it adds a bit to the sides of such a sleek device, the added border provides a surprisingly comfortable hold, easily eclipsing the Caseable and Blurex models.

While I did like the customization options with regard to Caseable's N7 case, there was no denying that it lacked protection by comparison. While it absolutely held the case in place, the elastic straps proved annoying at times and occasionally covered portions of the screen. I also almost always had to remove the top left strap in order to easily access the buttons. When compared against the TreeGloo case, there's no contest - the case feels more secured, buttons are incredibly easy to access, and the majority of the device is enclosed.

I was curious to see how this case wound up stacking up against another "daily driver" for me - a Moleskin notebook (cue forum outrage over a $15 notebook). And well, judge for yourself:

For the sake of posterity, the difference in height is half a centimeter or 50 millimeters. Very close. More impressive is how similar they appear on first glance. I'm not sure even I'd know this was a tablet case should someone randomly be carrying one.

In terms of build quality, again, time will tell. It feels very sturdy for how lightweight it is, makes for a very easy and comfortable hand hold in both orientations, and on many surfaces (not all), works just fine as a stand without the kinetic latch system.

I know there has been a seemingly wide disparity in experience with TreeGloo on these forums alone, but my experience with them has been nothing but positive. I ordered my case on August 3rd and received it on August 16th, including some minor alterations to the order which Jen handled both courteously and efficiently.

I would highly recommend this case, and am already ordering them for my parents and wife's tablets. :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Thanks for your take on the case and other stuff :). Glad you had the same experience that I had with treegloo.

I see you got the paper lining correct? How is that? That's what I actually ordered, but treegloo gave me the cloth version of the green I wanted lol. I love the cloth actually. I love the feel of it. I would recommend this upgrade more than the kinetic latch lol. But I do love my kinetic latch though. A real gem to work with in the different types of angles this thing can go. Kinda like a case that can do yoga :D.

Anyway, I would love to see the different designs for the other cases you will order as well.

OFF TOPIC: Love the Boba Fett and Carbon-Solo :).
[Nexus 7 Accessories] beardedspoooon:
How does the kinetic latch work? I ordered one a few days ago, but decided against the latch.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
It took me about a minute or two to figure out all the 'settings' of the latch. First and foremost it's a latch to keep your treegloo closed.

Next stance is the triangle stance. There is a piece of aluminum or metal like bar attached to the latch that gets tucked away under the tablet. When placing it in landscape mode /\, the bottom of the triangle lays the latch and attaches via magnet when the latch is pulled out all the way and attached to the magnet on the other side.

Then comes the wierd stance that I found out how to do last lol. You pull the latch out and let the metal bar be the stand and latch the bottom part to the outside of the treegloo. This is another landscape stance but with the tablet facing up and you will be looking down to type.

And lastly is the normal place the front flap behind the back and using the latch to keep it in place. I assume that you can do this part with the rubber band thingy, but this works as well.

I posted pics in the OP on the different stances (I think lol). Take a look :cool:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] beardedspoooon:
Yeah, I just didn't know if "kinetic" implied something fancy or not. :D

I view kinetic as "potential" lol.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Character Zero:
Got my TreeGloo today. It was worth the wait. I got the Midnight Blue exterior, grey cloth interior, and the ebony wood with the latch. It looks so sweet. I was worried when they posted pictures and there was a blue that looked almost purple-y but it must have been a different color. The midnight blue in the shadows looks almost black and then in the light has a nice dark blue look. Very sharp. The grey is really nice and the black wood just brings it all together. Very nice case. I will say that playing something like Dead Trigger seems better "naked" but I am still getting used to the case. The wake magnet is sweet. Great case for protection and I couldn't be happier.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on the Treegloo case! I'm considering one for my Nexus at the moment and your experiences have been incredibly helpful. It seems that all of the pictures from the Opening post are down though, which is a huge shame! :( Any chance these can be fixed please? Thanks in advance for your help!

Shipping Time?

Has anyone received one of these recently? If so, when did you order? I ordered mine nearly 3 months ago and still haven't received it. (After 2 months, they assured me it would ship by the end of October.)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] funky monk:
See my post here

There are a couple other people in that thread who still don't have one and it looked like a couple people on their fb page are still waiting as well.

I ordered a book from Portenzo instead.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] R3dbeaver:
I'm very close on ordering one.... just have a question:

Streamliners option. It says it's slimmer. and it's cheaper too. What's the different from from end-user point of view? Lighter? Noticeable thinner? It's also the only one with Magnetic strapless option... And it does seem to use less wood as the bottom and top seems to be completely open.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Looks like less wood and more adhesive to keep the N7 in place like the portenzo products. If it's similar sticky stuff, then that stuff is really really sticky lol. As for thinner, maybe a bit, but because they do still keep the wood on one side, so I assume will be the same size as the normal case. This is just assumptions, mind you...:).

But I would say a bit lighter but the case was already pretty light as it is. As for the magnetic/strapless option. I wouldn't go for that, especially using an adhesive. I would opt for the strap to ensure that the case will not fall out accidentally if your adhesive starts giving. And it would start loosing it's grippyness when it gets dirty and most likely need a wipe with a damp cloth to re-institute the adhesive.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] R3dbeaver:
thx Jimmy!

I also sent an email to Treegloo asking if i can have both the magnetics AND strap.

also to ask how much do they charge for custom covers. as a proud father (and to soften the shock to my wife regarding the cost), i like to put a pic of our daughter.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Ok godspeed my friend....I'll pray for you lol.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] R3dbeaver:
What Tregloo came back with my questions
[Nexus 7 Accessories] emurdo1:
So do you have to get the kinetic latch system for the case to function as any sort of stand? Or does a case without it only function in the 'normal' stand positions?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I cannot tell if the Streamline edition can function without the kinetic latch, but if I were assume, I would say the only positions the streamline can go is possibly the triangle position, but not as stable as with the kinetic latch, but the normal pose would be the front flap folded back and then that angle you can type pretty easily, similar to the normal case but maybe a bit thinner in profile. But again, not having a unit to test out, I can't really tell ya.

But for the normal one as posted in the OP that I do have, you can def use the case without a kinetic latch. The latch really gives you, I want to say maybe 2 positions to view the tablet. Hope that helps a bit.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] funkpod:
i'm in the same boat. trying to decide on what case. i like the Streamliner cuz it can transform into a stand, however, i don't like it cuz i have to use adhesive. I'd like to be able to take the case out easily. I like the Portenzo for that option. However, w/ shipping, it'll be $60. that's a lot...

the lowest price for the Streamliner would be $40, that's doable. but I lose the wooden frame. If I get the frame on the portenzo, it's up to $50, AND i don't have the stand option. If I add the kinetic latch, it's up to $60.

not liking the pricing, even though i know they're super quality.

I am really trying to decide if i want to commit to making a case, it'll be cheaper, but way more time consuming to get it perfect.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Poerger:
I will pull the trigger on a TreeGloo Streamliner.

On the one hand: its a lot of money for a case (included shipping to Germany).

On the other hand: I searched a lot for a good case. The one I bought is crap. Really. It might have a good usabilty, but it looks cheap (well it was in fact cheap...). In my opinion such thing has to offer good quality and it should be fun to hold it / use it.

I dont want to be pissed off by this cheap piece of plastic each time I play with my "new" toy (= N7)

I guess it hast to be a more expensive case then. But its a shame, we dont have anything similar here in europe. Mostly it bothers me to pay nearly as much for the damn shipping as for the thing I want to ship :|

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] morbius14:
Hi everyone,

I see that the Droid Incredible 4g does support sim cards, I was wondering is it microSIM like the IPHONE or regular SIM. Also, since Verizon doesn't give out unlock codes, is there anyway to get my phone unlocked myself so I can use a prepaid sim when i travel abroad? Thanks, any hlep would be appreciated!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] ceayuso:
It's microSIM. Don't know about unlocking it.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
I've heard mixed news on the unlocking process. I've heard if you pressure them for the unlock code they will give it to you. (tell them you are going out of country etc). I've also heard that they don't give them out. (which I don't believe because people have received them before). Other than that, there are companies that charge you $15 and they'll send you the unlock code.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] morbius14:
I got off the phone with Verizon Global Support and apparently the DI4G is not locked and you are free to use a 3rd party sim card. Same is true for Droid RAZR and MAXX.. can someone confirm this? I do not actually have the handset.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
I read the same thing but with the question posted here I figured it wasn't true.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] cambunch:
From the GSM thread in this section:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Adroit0420:
yes you can

VZW has unlocked the majority of there 4gLTE smart phones. It is a new thing they just started doing to get a bigger hold on the global market that att has had for the longest time. So if you have a VZW 4g LTE phone and you are planning on going out of country all you have to do is call customer care, and ask them about the support and they will set you up with either a global SIM or you could use a prepaid SIM purchased in the country you are traveling to. I am a customer service rep at a local call center in Utah, we just had training on this subject last month.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] AshtonTS:
this also applies for the HTC Rezound

They're not locked, but they're not "officially" globally capable either. I imagine in their global updates they will be locked to Verizon's official roaming carriers and you'll have to request an unlock code
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mwuahjaan:
As I am not a Verizon customer. I need someone to help me out. I have 2 iPhone 4s, both clean ESN. I need them unlocked for international use by Verizon. Until then, can't use them in my part of the world. Can anyone help me...please.

Thanks.
