Does this have metal on the inner flap?

I dislike the moko one because of that

---------- Post added at 04:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 AM ----------

I received my official Asus travel case yesterday and I love it. Not sure why people see complaining about it.

Yes it's flimsy, but only slightly.

I like that it covers the bezel 360 degrees, since the bezel is cheap plastic and very prone to scratches, such as the picture below which was out of the box

I just miss the auto wake function, but I'm thinking about superglue-ing a magnet on the front to fix that

nice :good: I ordered it too few days ago..im waiting for it to ship. Got it until Blurex comes out with their case which should be within the week the company said.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] FormeriPhoney:
Can't wait for the blurex
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] KevinZero:
I'm a fan of Blurex as well. I'm wondering though if anyone with experience can compare blurex with i-Blason and/or Moko because they look almost identical to Blurex and it seems almost all of these non-premium cases are made by the same manufacturer and just given different branding. If the i-Blason is comparable to Blurex I may not wait.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Lpuboy87:
well i emailed the company last week and they said it should be out within the week. I remember the difference between the moko and the blurex for N7 2012 was the speaker cut out.....Moko had only half a slit for the speaker while blurex had that dotted punchout along the entire speaker.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] HKSpeed:
I did the same thing. I think the Poetic Slimline photos are renderings and not the real thing. Moko posted photos of their equivalent slim case. Interesting to compare the 2 designs. I also wonder if the Moko images are detailed renderings. Notice the Moko and Poetic show a Nexus 7 home screen with the same icons and time (4:30) LOL.

Moko: http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Google-New-Nexus-Case/dp/B00CKA1IYU

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] detonation:
They appear to be pretty much the same case, just with different brand markings. As I mentioned earlier, I'm pretty sure all these cheap cases come from the same chinese manufacturer and they just order bulk amounts with their specific branding. Not to say there's anything wrong with them, I've got the poetic slim line ordered, but I wouldn't worry too much comparing this brand to that brand when it's probably the same case.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] biggiestuff:
If it's anything like the last gen N7 cases the hard shell of the moko and the poetic are just about the exact same. The difference is in the flap. Where the Moko is a softer microfiber type material and the poetic is a harder leather type material. I like the Moko material better but Poetic has such good customer service. Anytime my case wore down, they'd replace it no questions asked!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] HKSpeed:
I agree they're probably made in the same factory, but the images are slightly different. The cutouts at the power and volume buttons are different and so are the magnets (2 on Moko, 3 on Poetic). Assuming the renderings are accurate, I like the Poetic design more.

I've ordered many similarly styled cases for my previous devices. They were labeled under Poetic, Moko, Blurex, Khomo, and Photive. I found they're 95% the same, but I do notice subtle differences in the material and cutouts. My Photive and Poetic branded cases were slightly better quality.

Edit: Added a comparison image. This is what I do at work on a Friday when my boss is out LOL :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sfhub:
The poetic/moko slimlines look so clean and add minimal bulk so they are very attractive for those reasons. The 3 things I've experienced in the past, which give me second thought, are the functionality of this style stand.

In the past, when using it as a stand, I've found with the base being small, it tends to tip over more easily, especially if your surface is slightly uneven like a bed. I never thought I'd use the stand feature that much, but I ended up using it a lot.

Second thing is with the fold-over style, the interior felt touches the table. If you are at a cafe, this makes it prone to picking up food/liquid particles that stick or soak into the felt (or microfiber) On the other style, the exterior of the case is what touches the table surface when using it as a stand.

Third thing is though I didn't think it that important, I actually like the multiple position stand offered by the other model, especially when using the tablet lying down. I think the slimeline offers a few angles too, but the middle angle seems to be harder to accomplish. Sometimes the steepest angle has a little too much glare and I quickly want to try a slight adjustment. It seems like with the slimline it'll be the steep angle or the really flat angle, and nothing in between.

Even though it adds more bulk, which I dislike, I have in the past gone with the style where it clips on the corners.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] HKSpeed:
Do you mean this style? My wife likes that style for her tablets. I don't like how it exposes the tablet's edges.

I noticed the price jumped from 99 cents to $2.99 over the last 2 days.

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 AM ----------

hopefully they drop ship it from california so you get it sooner, but it probably shipped from Atlanta, GA based on their phone number area code.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] eyecon82:
Probably from alibaba
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sfhub:
Yup, that is the style. I had the same concern about the exposed edges when I first got it.

After using it a while, I realized that it actually does provide reasonable protection from drops on flat surfaces even with the exposed edges because of the extra distance from the ground the corner and middle claws provide. If you place the tablet on any edge it is around 1/4-1/8" from the ground and the claws are pretty stiff so for many falls there wouldn't be movement of the tablet.

The few times I've dropped it happen to be on flat surfaces and it has done its job.

What it doesn't do is protect against sharp objects in your pack or briefcase scratching the exposed section. Also if you drop on an uneven surface or gravel type surface there could be damage to the exposed surfaces.

Balancing out the pros and cons with my particular usage style and figuring I hardly ever drop things and even in the rare cases I do, it is usually on a flat surface, I optimized for the functionality I'd end up using almost every day (though I didn't realize I would at first), which is the tilt stand.

I hardly ever needed a tilt stand feature for my phone so I figured I wouldn't need one for the tablet either, but with the added weight and size, I found it was easier to just use the stand feature and it grew on me to the point I look for well implemented stand features in a case now.

Anyway, if I didn't use the stand feature so much, I would go for one of the slimline designs. They do look so much cleaner and less bulky.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] rafa3L:
.

For many of these same reasons I'm waiting for the Devicewear Ridge case. Speck also makes one similar to to Devicewear's
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] UWRF:
My two xoom screen protectors came today from BSCstore. I didn't want the holes so this will let me cut this down to size without the holes. Plus they were two for $6.99 with prime shipping.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sfhub:
That's a very well designed case (based on the video of the ipad version I saw)

One thing I was concerned about with the claw style case as the claw for the from cover and whether it would leave scratches over time. It turns out to have not been a problem at all. I've opened it so much now and nothing at all. On the other hand, now that I see scratching isn't an issue, I like the extra security of the front cover not flipping open by accident. That claw is pretty secure and surprisingly isn't really inconvenient to open.

The only thing I'd improve on the Devicewear is some way to secure the front cover when you are traveling, but seeing the video, that might affect the "typing" mode where you fold the front cover back in upon itself.

Oh, and if they got the price down under $10, it would be even better :), but $20 to $30 doesn't sound too bad. They obviously put time in thinking about and designing the product.

I may end up picking up one of these to try out when they are available. Any news on that?

UPDATE: I went on the devicewear site and noticed they actually do have a strap to keep the front cover in place on the nexus 7 version (wasn't visible in the ipad video review I saw)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] rafa3L:
The Devicewear Ridge later revisions for the 1st Nexus 7 actually has a strap to keep the case closed when necessary. For some reason they don't show this in any photos though. Read the Amazon reviews and you'll see others mention this.

The Speck Fitfolio, which is similar to the Devicewear Ridge, has a plastic clasp.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] eyecon82:
However it doesn't provide reasonable protection while in a bag. Things can scratch the bezel easily

Yes the case will have cutout for the rear camera . All feature and

control are fully accessible.

Thanks,Jim

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] californiarailroader:
I hope so too! When I've ordered Poetic cases they get here in a couple of days, but they are located in SF, 130 miles south of me. I believe MoKo is based down in the Bay Area too.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] xbdarkman:
What about both speakers?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] fadiiik:
Which one is better moko ultra slim or moko slim case with multi angle support? What are the major differences?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] pedxing:
My main quibble with the multi angle case is that popping out the bottom corners of the tablet to set it up is pretty awkward. Rolling the flap to make a triangle is a quick smooth action. I'm also hoping that the hard shell back means the whole thing is a little thinner.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] thecdn:
I wrote Seido last night saying I want to give them my money for a case for the new N7 and if there is any estimate of when it might be available. I hope a decent protective case comes out reasonably soon.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Obveron:
Anyone see a good cheap bumper case that has no cover, no flap, and no stand?

I basically just want something form fitting the bezel that could cushion the blow if dropped. Add a screen protector, and I'm happy with that.

It's easy to find simliar concepts for smartphones, but I don't know about the Nexus 7 2013.

This is the concept:

Covers the back and edges:

Covers just the edges:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] yentrog31:
iLLumiShield

These are great protectors imo. I'm not very good with these and usually take a few packs before I get one just rite(GS3). It took me all 3 to get a perfect fit and no bubbles and maybe my exp will help others. 1st went on smooth but I didn't get the border just right and had a edge bubble. 2nd I tried the bathroom trick and got a hair so I won't try that one anymore. 3rd I went to a quiet place,turned off all fans and AC, cleaned and covered my Nexus 7 til I got the SP ready. Gripped the SP by the edge pulled off my cloth and lined up the 2 holes and the right border. If you get that right the bottom hole will line up perfect. Smoothed out a few bubbles with the cloth(no card) and I would say almost perfect. Very satisfied and also these are great for fingerprint reduction as the 7 screen is a smear magnet. GLTA
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] berardi:
Same here .... Love my nexus 7 sedio case... One of the best I have ever had.

I just want any case that won't fall apart and provides a small amount of drop protection
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sfhub:
You know you can keep readjusting the same protector even if it doesn't come out perfect right?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] danvee:
Yes, but you're more likely to pick up more debris.

Keep packing tape handy to remove dust etc from the screen and back of SP.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] yentrog31:
Been thru many, many SP's and never have got one back on second time without dust particles/bubbles. I try to get mine perfect and yes I have spent a few $$$ on Sp's my phones/tablet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] UWRF:
The bathroom trick usually works for me, but the trick has always been to leave the shower ON the whole time. As soon as I turn it off I run into trouble.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sfhub:
The technique isn't to lift the entire SP and redo it.

Cut a strip of packing tape, roll it back onto itself with the sticky side out, to create a loop. Insert your finger in the loop and attach loop to a corner of SP.

Slowly peel back up. Use regular scotch tape to remove any dust particles and then lower the SP back down putting squeezing out the air bubbles as you lower it. Repeat for other problem areas.

When you lift a corner (closest to the bubble or dust) it is far less likely to get more dust coming in. If you remove the whole SP and lay it down again, then I agree, it is impossible to get it dust free.

device has been out just barely over a week, there will be some cheaper ones popping up first then the high quality ones from the likes of Seido, Spigen, Otterbox, etc will start showing up, The time you wait will be well worth it as those companies produce very high quality products.

Personally I am looking forward the most to spigen's offering if its anything like the old N7 case it will be good looking and very well put together.
