Looking forward to hearing your guys reviews and photos before I pull the trigger to buy.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Khaiyan:
That doesn't necessarily mean it has the auto sleep/wake feature. Remember the official Asus case for the Nexus 7 was also branded as a "smart case".

Add to this, there is no mention of the feature in the product description either.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] NotablyNice:
Are you slow or something? https://play.google.com/store/devic...GwsMSwyLDExMSwiZGV2aWNlLW5leHVzXzdfY292ZXIiXQ..

Nowhere does it state SMART cover... Only cover. Troll again....

Edit: I contacted the seller to find out so you'll be the first to know... But if you decide to not be lazy and look at the pictures you can clearly see the circular magnet in the bottom corner of opened case. So I'll bet you $8.72 it's there.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Khaiyan:
Wow...nice attitude you got there mate.

And FYI, the Asus website DOES state it as being a "smart cover". http://usa.asus.com/News/82X3sMt2tbBLf6xN/

Scroll down and read if you are able to.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] NotablyNice:
Only if you look at the blatant circular magnet on this case...

Omfg... A product page or a news article from June. Which one is accurate? Derp

A Google search yields nil on the Asus cover being smart http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&redir_esc=&client=tablet-android-google&source=android-browser-type&v=141299849&qsubts=1344589715665&q=asus+nexus+7+smart+cover

You clearly have some social problems. Picking a fight over a case, how weak.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] NotablyNice:
Because I decided to do the research and contact the seller instead of spout off misinformation? I can't stand lazy people
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Khaiyan:
I just thanked you for serving me with this very important life lesson.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] NotablyNice:
Seller confirmed to me that case has automatic sleep/wake feature.

got mine (Maroon) ordered last night too.

will post pic n reviews in this thread whenever it arrives.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Toast95135:
I just ordered a maroon one, the seller is like 30 miles away so I should get it pretty quick. I'll post some pics when it does.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] R3dbeaver:
anybody ordered a "Dark Red" one?

i wanted that one but i dont want it to come out as bright-red (although he has orangered and pink too!), and there's no screenshot for that color, so i ordered Maroon.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Cryingmoose:
There are some images here. They call it "coral red" but It's likely the same thing.

Just the resellers making up names and flipping the cheap Chinese-made cases.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] E_man5112:
I'm completely lost on what you are trying to say. However, yes, they need the latch style (or similar) magnet to hold it closed by magnets only, rather than friction like other cases. The built in N7 magnets aren't strong or well positioned for the task. I'm not sure what you mean by hold it only by the front cover. To hold the case closed in any position really, you need a latch, friction, strap, or some very strong magnets on both the front and back of the case to hold it closed. The iPad does not, because it's magnets are placed with that purpose in mind, and are possibly stronger.

Wow, slow your troll. The google play store had them labeled as smart covers for a while even. No need to be such a jerk. He was correct in saying that the Asus covers were called smart covers, without smart functionality. They may be going back on that, but that doesn't make him wrong. Just makes you look stupid.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] woshiweili:
Wow, I ordered mine yesterday morning and I STILL haven't even received a shipping notie. :eek:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] R3dbeaver:
i usually give eBay 2-3 days to ship items after i pay for them. considering it's the weekend, we'll see Monday :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] dcoaster:
Thank you. That's all we needed...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Toast95135:
I didn't really notice before but this case looks just like the Poetic Portolio but with leather on the back the hard rear shell.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] RknDroidFreak:
I'll get a black one just to check it out...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] marshalllaw:
Might get one too. I just got my Nexus 7 today, all I've bought is a neoprene.

I wonder how this case would feel when you are actually using the device though
[Nexus 7 Accessories] WzFBaby:
Any reviews on this? I wanna pull the trigger but don't want my money to go to waste. It seems good tho.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] newcdn:
Bought a gray one. Will post my views when I get it.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] R3dbeaver:
mine shipped this morning. we'll see.

edit: it was shipped on saturday from Pleasanton, and this morning it left LA... not bad. but with 1st class USPS, it usually takes another week at least to get here lol

that's a Kaycase. an actual brand. is that even the same with this thread's?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Toast95135:
Its the same case.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Cryingmoose:
Kayscase isn't an actual brand, it's just some amazon reseller slapping their name on generic china made cases available to any other reseller.

It would be no different then your ebay guy listing the case as ibrook PU Leather Stand Case. It just happens that the ebay seller doesn't feel like taking false credit.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] R3dbeaver:
interesting.... got it!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] woshiweili:
I just received mine today and so far I am loving it!!! :good: :laugh:

Thin - Not bulky at all! Especially when compared to alternatives. Also it doesn't cover the front of the tablet.

Smart - Smart case feature works flawlessly.

Stand - Folds and becomes a stand extremely easily.

Color - The color looks nice (I got the yellow one)

Good price - It's a steal at $9. It feels more like a $20 case to me.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Toast95135:
Nice, mine should be in the mail when I get home. Btw does it turn the screen off when you have the front flap folded all the way back?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] woshiweili:
I know one guy mentioned it does on his in the other thread but it has NOT done that on mine. In fact it was one of the first thing I tested and I must have folded the front flap back and forth 10+ times and it never once had any effect (which is good! :laugh:)

I haven't been this happy with a purchase since... well, since I got my Nexus 7 lol
[Nexus 7 Accessories] WzFBaby:
do you mind posting some pics of the case along with your nexus 7 in it? I would love to see how this looks.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] tomqman:
Can someone do a video review

Sent from The One X
[Nexus 7 Accessories] WzFBaby:
Thank you! Hmm the case is not bad at all, looks a little too thin for my liking though.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] demandarin:
I like it ;)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] j.a:
Received the black version today. Great case and cannot beat it for the $. Glad I ordered it!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] nickles96:
Received my purple one today.

LIKES:

Adds practically zero bulk.

Smart cover action enabled.

Nice solid 'closure' feel when shut.

bezel completely untouched/unobstructed and open.

Latch is magnetic with a firm closure. This cannot open accidentally.

$9.00 shipped.

COMMENT:

Not micro-fiber lined.

Not likely to prevent any type of protection if dropped from any serious distance.

DISLIKES:

Very thin. Flimsy is not the right word. But after heavy use of tablet while in this case I can see the trim area around the whole exterior bending or becoming out of shape.

When folded completely back in portrait, the magnet will sleep the device

Cardboard stock underneath the 'pleather' is very very thin.

One wrong fold and you will crease your case. (Imagine , say, 4 index cards wrapped in vinyl.)

Happy that I purchased? Yes.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] woshiweili:
It definitely is thin, which is good for people who don't want to add unnecessary bulk to their Nexus 7 but it won't offer much protection.

So it comes down to whether you prefer protection or lightweight / better appearance. :)

---

I noticed that in the inside of the top left corner of the front cover has a tiny tear. I didn't see it until now but when I looked at the pictures I posted earlier it was already there which means it came that way. It doesn't bother me much, at least not enough to ask for an exchange. It's also a $9 cover which I may just replace in a few months. However, if you care about these things beware.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] nickles96:
I can so totally see where this is going to happen with just normal use..

I'm liking it overall.. if it lasts 3 months, I'll be happy.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Toast95135:
I got mine today too,its pretty nice for the money. The pleather feels soft, the hard portion holds the Nexus well and its nice and slim. Maybe a bit too slim but it should carry nicely and protect the screen and back from stuff banging around in my backpack. I do like the stand a lot, it has a magnet as well so it locks into place. As far as the front flap, it will turn off the screen when its folded back but only if the magnet is pressed up against the rear shell. Personally I dont see this as a problem because the way I hold it the flap is a little loose near the spine.

The corners on the front flap are a little janky, but for $10 its a solid case.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] R3dbeaver:
oooooh i got the Maroon one too, Toast. is yours maroon or red when u order it?

wow, looks pretty good for a $9 case. thanks everyone who post a picture of it!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] goofball2k:
Looks pretty good. How firmly is the tablet held in?

Not impressed by the build quality of it thus far though, going by what you have all had to say about it.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] fatfingered:
I received a gray one. The material is thin and soft, pleathery feel. The plastic frame holds the tablet very securely but fits perfectly. I actually had to snap it in. The corners of the N7 are surrounded by the frame and may be able to withstand minor bumps, but probably won't survive drops. The fold-back stand actually works quite well and I don't have any issues with it going to sleep when I fold the flap back. Because of the way the stand folds back, the inner lining that touches the glass makes contact with the surface you place the stand on. So if you place it down on the ground or on a table with crumbs or debris, you'd have to be sure to clean it off before closing the flap.

It's a decent cover for the price. I like it because it's thin and not too bulky.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] sm753:
What I do like about this case is the way the tablet snaps into place...I'd like to see other manufacturers do this...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] FrancoR:
It's amazing Toast95135
[Nexus 7 Accessories] woshiweili:
I must be real lucky because it seems like so far I'm the only one who does NOT have this problem. /knock on wood :D

---------- Post added at 12:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------

It's firm enough. I haven't had any problems with falling off. It's also easy to remove if necessary.

The quality is great for a $9 case. I might be less satisfied if I paid $20 or more for it. I'm still happy I bought it and still would recommend it to all Nexus 7 owners.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Toast95135:
I got the maroon one

Thanks :) I love the camera on my Evo Lte.

As far as build quality, it's nice for a $9 case. If I had paid 20 bucks or more then I wouldn't be so stoked.

I would imagine this would have some interference with the NFC chip on the back.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Toast95135:
It shouldn't, NFC will work just fine through plastic (non conductive materials). If you have a metal back it'll cause problems.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] trainerKEN:
Hmmm looks great but can anyone else chime in on it causing the N7 to go to sleep when cover is folded behind, it's the only way I would be holding it
[Nexus 7 Accessories] NotablyNice:
Some say yes. Some say no. Most cases will do it if folded back completely against the backside.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bennor3814:
On my N7 the lock screen turns off after roughly 10 seconds of inactivity to some it may appear the case is causing it. It's also possible that for some users it may seem like the cover is putting the tablet to sleep when in reality it might be because the user has set the tablet sleep mode to 15 second (or even 30 seconds).
[Nexus 7 Accessories] woshiweili:
It has NOT happened to me.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] tintheman:
Not great...

Just received the grey one but looks so plastic on the leather part, it doesn't look good. There is zero protection on drop test even few feet, I will recommend to wait for a better one to come out.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] just4747:
really? all other pics look good so far.

can you post pics?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] tintheman:
Not great...

Pics cannot show the quality of the case, the plastic leather is like a thicker plastic wrap and the tablet in the plastic shell will shift depending on how you hold the case. That extra flap is not holding the tablet shell in place but you do need it to keep the cover from opening by itself. The poetic one I got before is way better with similar price (before they increased :))

[Nexus 7 Accessories] CenturionFive:
This is NOT leather, it's PU Leather

This is NOT leather but rather PU leather which means stinky vinyl. If it is not made from the hide of an animal they should NOT be able to use "leather " anywhere in the description.

Sometimes they call it "environmentally friendly leather" but I wonder if the process to make the vinyl is any better than tanning leather.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Spork McBork:
Now my excitement for this case is dwindling. I hope I like it when it finally arrives. I'm trying to find something that's very simple and minimalistic (minimal add of thickness)

I wish we had something like the apple smart covers that just magnetized to the side of the tablet...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] woshiweili:
People, this case is NOT supposed to be the following so adjust your expectations:

It's not leather - I don't care what anyone says, it's just not.

It's not a premium case - You are paying $9 for this case. Don't expect the quality to reflect that of a $20-50 case.

It's not meant to protect your Nexus 7 from a 100 foot drop - This case was meant to be slim and at most protect your Nexus 7 from small bumps when it's being transported in your purse or backpack. If you want a case that allows you to toss your Nexus 7 into fire or water from 50 foot away, it will probably not look nearly as slim or nice as this case.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] NotablyNice:
Seller sent me wrong color and has yet to respond to my email. Shame, cuz I do like the case.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] newcdn:
People who received theirs are saying they this case does not provide any protection if the tab is dropped. I was wondering if there are other cases in similar price range that would provide better drop protection? Not too worried if the case is thick if it provides better drop protection.

Thanks.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Xenocide23:
I got this case a few days ago. The cover is a bit more flimsy than I would like and if you fold the cover all the way back it can cause the screen to turn off due to the magnet. For the price I'm not disappointed but if this case was just a little sturdier and had a slightly weaker magnet it would be perfect.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] woshiweili:
This has NOT happened to me :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] NotablyNice:
Ditto and I have two
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Xenocide23:
It only happens if you fold it back and press the cover down in the bottom left corner. If you don't press down it won't turn off so its only minorly annoying rather than being a deal breaker.

Also there could be differences in quality control depending on the color. I ordered the turquoise blue.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] stumpyz9:
Anyone have any weird problems with shipping? I bought mine on thursday and for some reason my tracking hasnt updated beyond shipping info recieved
[Nexus 7 Accessories] R3dbeaver:
damnit, mine shipped from LA since last week... still no update :(

silly USPS..................
[Nexus 7 Accessories] R3dbeaver:
it's here!

damn they took their time with shipping...

thoughts:

- very easy to snap on. hold the device tightly and securely.

- there are 2 pieces of magnets u can see in the flap. both works very well. the auto-sleep/wake works fine and i tried to press it as much as i could from the back and my nexus doesn't go to sleep. works 100% fine.

- thank goodness no defects on mine. looks very clean and sharp. and maroon actually looks maroon.

- thin and light. it's good enough to cover your nexus from sharp object if u throw it in a bag, but not gonna help if u drop it on concrete.

- think of it as a sleeve that has a flap with auto-sleep/wake.

- did i mention it's thin? coz im lovin the virtually-no-added-thickness feature.

ps: it looks deep red in the picture, but trust me, it's maroon. there is a hint of purple-ish...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] flexwong:
I got this case as well, it took about 2 weeks for it to be shipped to Ottawa (Canada). Not bad. kinda wish I had went for a different colour instead of black, but oh well. It looks neat and professional. For $9, it really can't be beat. Yes, the material is very flimsy, but seriously, you're paying $9 (shipping included). The features work perfectly, I have no problem with the smart cover feature, even with the flap bent backwards. The device snaps on perfectly. It's just what I needed for the time being.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] uofajac:
I just got mine to do this for the first time. It won't sleep unless I press the bottom left corner down against the back cover. Once I let it go it's fine. Not really an issue at all. I love mine so far. Great case for the price.

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

Yup, that's how mine was as well. It shipped out of CA to Arizona via USPS. Normally shipping only takes a few days from CA, but it stayed on shipping info received in CA for about 5 days. Took about 7 or 8 days to arrive. Don't worry though. It's coming.

Ordered this case a couple days ago and it shipped today. Doesn't seem too bad for the price, this will protect my N7 a little till the nicer iPad ripoff covers come out. I really wish it wasn't faux leather and they used a material similar to the iPad smart covers.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] killer23d:
Received the teal green color day. The material is definitely not leather, thus the low price. Nonetheless, it holds the N7 well. It comes with the sleep magnet which is a bonus.

If anyone wants some pictures, fire me a PM.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] newcdn:
Received mine today (gray). Not impressed with the quality, but it was only $9 so I guess that was to be expected.

I originally planned to get 2-3 more in different colours, but I will be looking at other options.

And for those who are wondering, the tablet does NOT go to sleep when the cover is wrapped around the back.

If anyone wants pictures, let me know.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] taC nayN:
Got mine today and within 5 minutes of use the magnet that is on the flap popped out and I can see the inside is thin cardboard. I will attempt super glue to fix.

Edit: so am I the only person whose case is held together by super glue? The plastic thing that's holds the tablet in place was losing its grip so I had to add super glue and we will see how that holds. When the edges split open however, super glue is very effective.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Novalis31:
Mine just came and it's really nice! I love that it has the magnets that turn the screen on and off. Also the flaps magnet is strong and keeps the folio closed. well worth the money.

The fit & finish are great. Doesn't look or feel cheap. I don't know if it is actually leather, but it feels & looks like it. The smart cover works great & it fits perfectly. Stitching looks & feels solid, too.

Eh I wouldn't purchase a case like this again. I bought one exactly like it by SupCase. The stand feature barely works, I have to work with it a bit to get it to stand up on it's own at all; I usually end up leaning it against something.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] R3dbeaver:
the problem with those is that it doesn't have any protector on the sides... it's just empty. drop it on its side, it's going to be scratched or worse.
