[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] n3wDaddy77:
Finally received my Speck StyleFolio this week! :victory: I live in Canada, so it took a little longer, plus I missed a couple of delivery attempts.

Here are some pics I took last night of the case and the case with my N7 in it.

Overall, it's a good case. Speck has maintained their expected high-level of quality with this one.

Here are some quick differences of the StyleFolio (for N7 2013) compared to the old Fitfolio (for the N7 2012):

1 piece polycarbonate cradle for the tablet (Fitfolio had cutouts)

no sleep/wake functionality

has speaker 'channels' instead of cutouts

As [MENTION=3369728]madmike283[/MENTION] had indicated in a previous post in this thread about the StyleFolio (and as you can see above),

it doesn't have sleep/wake

:confused:; which is a drag especially since it wouldn't have been much more effort for Speck to have included a magnet in this case. Also, for the fact that there are some lower-priced options (Poetic Slimline) which do. It's not a deal-breaker for me as this is a premium case, with a premium 'feel'. But it would've been nice if they had included it.

Also as [MENTION=3369728]madmike283[/MENTION] previously posted, it doesn't have speaker cutouts, but rather speaker 'channels'. They're extra spaces they've molded into the PC cradle, positioned perfectly above the speakers. I tried them out and they do their job pretty well at redirecting audio back to the user. I noticed a slight decrease in overall volume and clarity, but it was negligible.

The case material is vegan leather and it feels good in the hand. I will mention that this case is thicker than the Poetic Slimline. There is a noticeable gap between the case cradle and the tablet when fully installed. There is a wide 'groove' on the back-side of the PC cradle. This is where the cover fits in when the case is closed. They did this eliminate a noticeable bump between the leather cover and the PC cradle (because of the lack of cutouts in the PC like the FitFolio had). I will mention as well that the 1-piece design made it hard to remove the tablet from the cradle. I almost separated my screen from the tablet the first time I did it!! :eek:

Pros: It provides a higher level of protection and reduces anxiety if one were to drop their tablet while in the case (but who would right?? I hold mine like a little baby when I carry it around! :D).

Cons: Self-explanatory. It's added bulk to the case. It can still fit in my pants pockets, just not as easily as others.

The signature clasp on the right side of the case is nice and they've kept the quality of that up from the FitFolio. The cover of the case won't flap around while the clasp is engaged and it doesn't get undone easily. The various viewing angles are executed well. They still use a 'tongue-in-groove' design between the PC cradle and grooves embedded on the inside of the cover.

Overall: It's a nice case and I'd still recommend purchasing it if you're looking for a folio-style case that provides a lot of protection, multiple viewing angles and not a huge amount of added bulk. However, if sleep/wake is something that you demand from a folio case or if you like to swap cases frequently, then this is not the case for you.

I hope this quick review helps anyone considering this case!
