Sorry about the pics, taken with my Nexus 4, had to use the flash, the material is pretty shiny that is why the bluish flash color shows up. Its black and under normal lighting it doesn't look too bad.

I don't have that problem, it's a cheap case, just press it down so that you are bending the flap is far back as possible. I am not expecting this thing to last forever, hopefully get six months out of it.

One other thing I do like about it is that for use around the house, I can just remove the outer cover leaving the inner holder and the thickness is no longer an issue. ;)

Here are pics I quickly took last night.

https://plus.google.com/photos/1022...ms/5913086863968748417?authkey=CMn_hNT1hYuFGw

The case uses GripSticks. These things adhere to your device quite well. Maybe too well because turning the case into a stand is slightly difficult. I don't know if it's because of the dbrand skin that I have on the back of my Nexus 7 making it stick so well or not. I haven't tried it without the skin only because I don't want to have to remove the skin. I plan on keeping the device in the case most of the time though. But it's good to know that I can remove it, and as far as I have observed, without leaving any residue behind. As claimed it retains its stickiness after multiple removals. They say that using a damp cloth will restore the stickiness of the GripSticks.

I think it's worth the price, but I also bought it with a preorder discount ($43.85 total with the IntelliStand, camera opening, and shipping fee). The quality is excellent. It feels good in hand without it feeling bulky especially since it's frameless. Personally, I've found holding the device while in the case is still just as comfortable without it. Be aware that you can't fold the front cover back flatly. Although, you can use the elastic to keep it in place when folded back. The sleep/wake cover works flawlessly. The camera is recessed a little and the elastic covers the hole--both providing some protection to the lens. I was worried about vignetting, but this seems to be a non-issue. Sound doesn't seem to be hindered/muffled either. One of the biggest draw is the customization of it when you first order. I find that its minimalist/simple look makes it aesthetically pleasing to behold.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] ggabriele3:
Thanks for posting all that detail. The one thing holding me back from buying it was the issue of the front cover laying flat when the case is open and it's folded back.

Could you post a pic of the case open and the front cover folded back? I'd like to see how much of a triangle it makes.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Psiphon:
Done. Check out the link again with 2 pictures added as requested. I hope this helps you make an informed decision.

I would also like to note that it might be a little bit more difficult to hit the volume and power buttons due to the case. I haven't really had trouble with it though, but I guess that depends on your finger size.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] ggabriele3:
Thanks again. I think i'm going to pull the trigger on it.

I would have really preferred a case that would lay flat, but i'm really underwhelmed by pretty much everything else I have seen.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Thank you I will be purchasing one after seeing your pictures. Thanks for the review also and I really like the colors you picked it looks great :thumbup:

Edit: I went ahead and bought a hardback case with the camera cutout and IntelliStand. I got the outside in black the inside in dark green and the strap in brown.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] rexierin:
It would be really hard to show how the case doesn't fit in a pic. I tried for 2 hours last night trying different ways of inserting the tablet in to the plastic rear. If i would get it in all four corners, one corner would pop out within 5 seconds. Originally I had a BSE on the back. I removed it because i though that as thin as that is it might be causing the issue.

But, no go, even with the skin removed it would not stay. The plastic seems too shallow. I don't know, maybe I received a defective one, but I am skeptical. Maybe the white ones are problematic?? I will say that the plastic is very cheap looking, while the front cover seems nice. I had bought the travel cover just for protection until something better came out and it was awful. It was flimsy and loose. So bad, that i put a BSE on it and dumped the case. I think Asus better stick to making devices.

I forgot to mention that. Although, player911 has already said that it works. Anyway, I have the Nokia DT-900 and DT-910. They both work with the case on. Of course, it won't charge if you fold the front cover all the way back. The distance is too great.

Hi:

Thanks for pointing out that you can remove the outer cover. I'm such a doofus, I didn't notice. I tried folding back the cover but then the sides stick out an inch. Anyway, all these cases are cheap, much better than nothing and will do the trick while waiting for our favorites to come out. I'm waiting for the Caseen Handstrap Case next month.

Best,

Got this also; absolutely love it. As stated, very high quality, looks and feels great. It's super thin and barely adds any bulk at all. It literally fits the new Nexus 7 like a glove.

Winner winner chicken dinner. Search over. :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] UWRF:
I can't figure this one out from the pictures... Is it attached to the case at all? Also, would it work as a stand in portrait mode?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] spicydicy:
No, it's more a sleeve, just like the Asus transformer versasleeve. It does sort of hold the device semi upright in portrait mode, but not well. Much better in landscape.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sopidos:
I was as first waiting for the premium covers, but since it apperently might be some fitting problems I have started to look around. Either way, I was looking for a screen protector and found this combo pack where the case to me seems to be identical with the Moko silm-fit. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Multi-Funct...&sr=1-5&keywords=nexus+7+fhd+screen+protector

Does any one happen to know something about it?

(Can't shop from US amazon in Sweden :( )

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] The Holocron:
Okay, here are photos for my rooCASE Dual-View Folio Case Cover - Black (with Pen Stylus).

You'll note that I have the stylus removed. I'll likely remove the elastic stylus holder if I keep using this case. I have another one on order and I may end up getting a stupid expensive Portenza in the future. Anyhow...pics below. In general I think this case has worked well. The two bigegst peeves I have, excepting the stylus thing, are that it is difficult to impossible to get the tablet to align squarely in the case and that the tabs at the top corners make swiping notifications tricky.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Shadow89:
Have you tried pushing it in?

It seems like it is held by pressure, so it should be a little hard to put in, no?

What do the instructions (If it came with any) state? For the two pictures, I think it would fit.

Could you take a pic of the Asus branding (Given that it is still an unreleased product), among other angles just to see how it looks?

And before you get all offended again, like you did on the last post, there is no reason to trust people online. Alot of times they are just trolling others for fun. Pictures are the only way to know, almost 100% of the time, that they are not lying on what they are stating.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] rexierin:
It is not a smart cover. Build quality of front is fine. In fact it is nice and slim build. Quality of back is very cheap. Very thin and obviously mine does not fit. It does work with wireless charger. I am using the zen. Maybe mine is defective. At least I would hope so, otherwise they are going to be a lot of returns. I know others in the forum are getting the white one from gamestop, it is how I found out about it. Hopefully they will chime in.

Nice! Yeah I'm sure I'd appreciate it more if I had a kid of my own haha. I like the idea of catering to young kids with a device as advanced as the N7. Amazing how kids can really operate them so well. My two year old nephew loves using my sister's iPhone to play candy crush and draw pictures (among other things)!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Yea it's crazy how smart kid are. Or maybe it's we are dumb ;):p

He still can't use the tablet by himself its more just an extra guard against while he is in contact with it just in case. He's got his own children's tablet that is his but it can't do everything a real android tablet does. But we will see if the case is even gonna be any good. I just figured for the price of its a bust is no big deal.

Yeah that's the one. The only issue I had with it is that I took the Nexus out of the case a lot and it took off some of the silver trim. If they go with the same design it shouldn't be a issue with this one though.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] FrauPerchta:
No photos to show but will try to remember to take some but will share the idea. I had handmade leather Dayrunner from about '05 that I had never opened up. I took the binder rings out(they unscrew) filled in the tapped holes then glued a strip of leather down the middle. There is a padded pocket on the inside of the cover of the Dayrunner that a 7" tablet fits perfectly in. In what used to be cavity for the calendar/rings there is a tight pocket on the inside back which I put a paper tablet's back board into just in case I need to write something. Currently I also carry in my Dayrunner table case the charger/cord, SlimPort, Sennheiser buds & ear phones(some days I can't stand the phone so switch to buds), micro-fiber cleaning cloth and a few other odds and ends. So far it has housed 3 different tablets and is showing no wear. My total cost was nothing since I didn't buy the Dayrunner to start with, had some scrap leather and glue laying around. At work I leave the case in my office and toss the N7.2 in my labcoat.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] dasmanul:
Thanks for your pictures, the case looks very nice. Could you describe the Intellistand mechanism some more please? Do you have to remove GripSticks from the left half of the Nexus to use it or are the GripSticks only underneath the right half anyway? Also, how does the stand hold up? I understand that with the Portenzo book style cases, magnets hold the tablet in position but I don't see how that could be possible with the HardBack case.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Psiphon:
There's a big slab of GripStick on the right side. The left side consists of only 3 circular GripSticks that are about 1cm in diameter each and spaced apart in a vertical line. The fold doesn't bend all the way when you turn it into a stand. It's only able to bend, at most, near a 90 degree angle. This keeps the tablet from sliding down. I don't know if I explained that clearly, but does that make sense?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] dasmanul:
Thank you, makes perfect sense. :) Has it gotten easier to turn it into a stand by now or is the GripStick still as strong as in the beginning? I wonder whether it would make sense to leave the 3 circulars out altogether if one plans to use the stand regularly. Don't even know if Portenzo would be open to this kind of customization request.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Psiphon:
Actually, I have covered 2 out of the 3 circular GripSticks (I kept the middle one exposed). It's still strong enough to grip the tablet when I'm using it normally keeping the left side flat with the tablet, but easy enough to detach when I want to make it into a stand. Honestly, I have rarely used it as a stand so far, but it's still as sticky as ever. I can't tell you yet how its grip holds up after many detachments. I would suggest keeping at least one circular GripStick if they allow you to make requests, so at least when it's not used as a stand the back of the case stays flat with the tablet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] dasmanul:
Thanks again - keeping them covered was an option that for some reason didn't occur to me. :eek: Do they come covered with individual pieces which you can just leave on or did you cut out your own and if so, from which material?

Just got this email from Devicewear regarding The Ridge case which is similar to the Speck FitFolio:

Here's a video review of The Ridge for the iPad Mini:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EURJv915YY

---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

And I just talked to Speck customer service on the phone to ask for an ETA on the FitFolio. He couldn't give me anything concrete but he said "soon". So I asked if it might be available within a month and he said he would hope it's sooner than that so take that FWIW.

Based on the reviews I've seen, I think I prefer the Speck over the Devicewear.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Psiphon:
When you first receive the case, you're greeted with a "special paper" (as they call it) that has a layer of slick material underneath protecting the GripSticks. I figure, hey, what would be better than to cut pieces from this paper to cover the 2 circular GripSticks? I made the pieces a little bigger than the circular GripSticks, so it would be easier to peel off if there ever came the time I wanted to do that. Also, the circular GripSticks on the left side act as a balance anyway. Since the right side lifts your tablet up a little due to the slab of GripStick, the circular GripSticks on the left side double as spacers to make the tablet level to the case. Even if you don't like them, just cover them because they still serve a secondary function.
