Beware of TreeGloo Poor Quality Nexus 7 and total Crooks

I ordered a case from them for my ipad and had to get my credit card company involved to get my money back after receiving a broken ipad case. It had a crack where they glue it together. They dont use one piece of wood.
Search them on the web and you will see that they have scammed and screwed over plenty of people. Enough to where Leo Laporte even commented. Could be a different Leo than the Tech, but its still a person. MacRumors, Android Central, and multiple other places have negative comments about these guys. I wouldn't be surprised if they fold and take the cash and not deliver.
To each his own but Im going Portenzo. Lea took care of me when I ordered my iPad case and it held up well. I sold it and got almost what I paid for it. Their build quality is like nothing else.
Check the YouTube Video DODO vs. Portenzo iPad 3 case review. Two enter, one leaves. It is going to be a knockout.
Its a review on their iPad 3 case but it compares theirs and DoDos build quality. No comparison. The review is also entertaining in its own way. Not like sitting through some review where the buy lays the product on a table and points the camera at it while he tries to act the a journalist. I dont think this guys actually cares other than to show people DoDo sucks. He also appears to have a coctail.
Does anyone else know of a great case like the Portenzo to recommend? Even though Port looks like the one it never hurts to look. You guys are the experts.
*Sorry for not posting links. Im not a poster on here, just a lurker. Sorry!!! Ill be getting more involved now.

This guy is just trying to get video views.
I was curious (because I'm a fan of Leo Laporte), and all I could find was this guy's post everywhere leading to the same video mentioned here: pushing Portenzo, bashing Dodocase, and mad at Treegloo. He never even got a Treegloo case and here he's saying it broke?
I don't know if this is some kind of lame tactic to push Portenzo sales, but it's in really bad taste.

Regardless of if this guy is trying to get video views I've heard portenza cases were pretty good. A little pricey for me but from reviews they seem like the route to go for these kinds of cases.

I will say the one TG case that I've seen in person, one of the corners was completely broken off (iPad).
I asked the guy (business executive for a major software company) and he said that he broke it off within 2 weeks of having it, and the case wasn't as sturdy as he expected. He still liked it though.

I'm just going to buy a hardback book/notebook and hollow out the pages and make a case myself. I don't see the need to pay ~$40 bucks when I can do the same thing myself for so much cheaper.

This just reeks of spam.

People were asking about quality and what they thought about the TreeGloo product on this forum so I responded. That video you accused me of sending people to for views is one that shows Portenzo quality and I liked the review so I shared it. Do you ever tell people about companies or products that didnt live up to your expectation ie sucked? Do you ever tell people about a product you dig or a restaurant you liked to eat at. Why would I want someone elses video to get views? If it was my video, what would I gain anyways? I have a friend with a channel on YouTube and they don't make crap. He gets 10k to 20k a week in views and might make 50 a month.
So this is what you get when you try to expose a company that is screwing people over. Some lame comment and a Portenzo marketing conspiracy ploy? If you knew what I did, I think your comment about me helping Portenzo or being Portenzo would go away pretty quickly.
As for other companies I know a little about, Pad&Quill has nice quality cases (very nice) but I don't see anything on their site for the 7 but if they did this would be my second choice unless they trump Port in some way for design, and DoDo 34 bucks but its not like a regular dodo portfolio case and looks cheap. There is also another company called RookCase pre-order for 39! that is making a case for the 7. They can make a case out of an actual book. I have one of their book cases for an iPad by Johnny Cash. Very cool and I get complements on it all the time. The only issue is that the wooden tray is no as refined as Pad or Port but still cool.
Other than being some total tool the only other reason you would post a reply other than one like the others is because you work for TreeGloo or they had you post this for them because they or you saw my post and want to mitigate damage (Thats an attack on integrity and a simple name calling rudeness, forgive me.). Please do us all a favor at your expense, I encourage you to buy from them and let us all know how it works out for you. Its interesting that I post facts (F with BBB) about a company and not just my opinion but others and you simply attack my post and try to create some other motive for my intention of pointing out scum. I thought thats what we do on forums and in the tech community. Watch out for each other. You will buy from who you like, I don't make that decision for you but I think members here deserve to hear about a company that appears to be legit based on their nice website and a few reviews but in fact is one I am staying away from. Yes, I like Portenzo and tell people about my case from them and experience buying from them because their service and quality is above average in a world that companies sell ok products with below average service. That said, my case was $140
I try to help and you attack my integrity. I have posted this on some forums that I am a member of. Why wouldnt I? Didnt you see the other posts from other people, even ones dating back a year that talk about how TreeGloo is a joke.
Also, as for Portenzo, I have not seen one post that says they sell garbage or have not delivered and I doubt you will find negative stuff about Pad and Quill or Rookcase. Im not marketing for them either.. If I said the Nexus 7 was killer on MacRumors would you accuse me of working for Google?
I have my opinions and then there are those of others and then there are just simple facts. In the end, none of this affects my wallet since I am not a part of any of these companies but I hope at least I can help contribute to a forum where I have been lurking since I got my Bionic on launch day.
If this helps one of you guys out there to not get scammed I know I did my part and contributed something rather than just ranted, took, and accused others on this forum. By the way, spam smells pretty good when cooked in butter over a nice hot stove.

Hexdecimal who do you work for TreeGloo?

I had to take a look at your few posts. You have been pitching TreeGloo and no one else. Your accusing me when in half of your posts you are promoting a feature of TreeGloo case or ragging on someone elses. I simply have an agenda of telling people about how they might get crap or get screwed by TreeGloo. I like plenty of case companies but thats not one of them and right now I like Portenzo but that does not make me an employee of theirs. I have at least spoke highly of a couple other companies in my posts in the past such as Pad and Quill and RookCase. All your comments about other companies other than TreeGloo are negative. You even go into some technical specifics about their case. Its not me that should be looked as a spammer, its you.
Instead of simply talking about your experience with TreeGloo, you dont even mention it. Instead you try to discredit my entire post so you dont leave people with the thought that I might actually be right. What a hoax. You can make all the claims you want (seems they are just your claims) but there are plenty of other posts including an entire thread on MacRumors started by their most senior member calling TreeGloo crooks. Enough time spent on this... Home someone sees through the TreeGloo bs by this guy and stays clear of them. Look at the others, there are plenty of companies to buy from that dont have their reputation of screwing people over and delivering crap products that dont match their site.

There have been a lot of negative reviews of TreeGloo, for long waits/sub par quality. That being said, there have also been plenty of negative reviews about DoDoCase as they are always falling apart and have to be glued back together and Portenzo as well for the significantly long delivery/production times. In the dealings that I have had with TreeGloo they have shown great customer service so I can't speak negatively of them anymore than I could of DoDo or Potenzo.
I had initially wanted to go with TreeGloo then changed my mind to Portenzo, and TreeGloo was good about cancelling my order but my $$$$ have not yet been refunded yet. Now, Ive decided to to play a wait and see game until I have more information and other people start reviewing thier respective cases. I really love how thin and light my N7 is and I constantly question whether I even want to add a bulky frame to it. I am still intrigued by Portenzo and TreeGloo and now Reauthored and RookCase so I will likely go with the case that gets the best reviews and is the thinnest of the bunch.
There are a lot of options for very similiar cases out there. I just suggest that people do their reserach. It is worth mentioning, however that TreeGloo is rated "F" on better business bureau.

Christ, this guy is a shill and a half.

U mad bro?

They apparently have very poor customer service, and even worse production facilities...
http://jimmyliew.org/review-of-my-treegloo-ipad-case/
http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-accessories/40566-bad-experience-w-treegloo.html
Just a couple pages with someone posted a "I never got my Treegloo", and several people afterwards replying "me either!". Those are just two random links I clicked when Google'd for "Treegloo". Not even "Treegloo review" or anything else... So, IF you get what you order that's great, otherwise you apparently pay them for the privilege of using their fabulous website.
And ameno13, stop being a damn child. Geez...

All the research I had done was all a year old. Newer posts seemed to indicate things had gotten better. All my emails have been promptly responded to. It seems the negativity was due to being overwhelmed with iPad2 orders back in 2011. We will see how it goes when they start shipping next week.

I think that TreeGloo is just a small company that probably cannot manage high volume that well, which is why the production time goes on for weeks. That has been an issue with other companies as well. I don't think its an issue of "scamming" or being a crook. And, I also have noticed that they have changed their design from the 2011 reviews particuarlly their corners. I think a lot of people want customization but are unwilling to wait on the time it actually takes for their customized case to get made.

I thought the company sounded familiar but never though about it until now. A lot of people have had problems with this company and iPad cases. Thanks for the heads up

You make a good point about being a small company and time for delivery but it doesnt explain the compaints from users on several sites and the bbb F.
Thank you for bringing this part up about waiting. If they would have not told me the case had been shipped and another two weeks went by, I might have given them some grace. I would have been more understanding if they would have just told me the truth rather than make me wait a month and then cancel my order because I complained and asked why it wasnt actually shipped. They they wouldnt refund my money until amex forced the refund. Maybe they will straighten out. Competition is good for everyone. It makes all the companies innovate to one up their competition which only helps us. If they turn around and start to treat people with respect and integrity and deliver, more power to them. I wish them the best in that case.

Not worth getting angry over. It may appear that way though

Not mad, just sick of companies not telling the truth and getting screwed over. I actually have an awesome iPad case now and will have a killer Nexus case shortly.
I understand why you asked but I wanted to be thorough in my response. My word and Im sure that the integrity of others here is everything. When that's in question its best to defend it with facts. I tried to do that along with explaining my personal experience. Im sorry if I offended anyone on this forum. I was truly just trying to help by sharing what I know and my own experience. I hope you understand. If this is not the right place for this type of information, please just let me know.
I dont really want to spend any more time on this subject. I think I have said enough. My critics and TreeGloo backers or employees can continue to try and discredit the thread but there is enough evidence here and around the web to back up most of what I said.
All my best,

This was my whole reason for the post and it turned into a total fiasco. It makes me not want to say anything on here. There is no way of telling if you are getting hosed by the company in question of a real android fan that likes the company which I can respect and mean no hard feelings.
We all share a passion for this stuff and should work together.

I'll give a review of my treegloo when it comes it. All the bad stuff I read was rom pre 2011, all the more recent ones i read are great.

Incipio are making cases

Hi Folks,
I emailed Incipio last week to see if they intended making covers for the N7 like they do for the Ipad and they emailed me back last night to say they are releasing a range of products but no details are available yet, but to keep an eye on their website and there should be info there soon. Would really like a Incipio feather case for my 7 along with a smart cover..
Hopefully in the next few weeks we'll have more info
Cheers,
Mick

Hope they make the legend case! Its the best case I've seen so far

These cases are amazing. I've Put some cash aside for when these are released. Even the international shipping seems reasonable. I'm surprised there isn't more mention of these on the forum rather than all the cheap plether bulky rubbish everyone seems to like! No accounting for taste!

Any updates on this?

I got this response from them yesterday. I did ask about which specific cases might be available but no details yet.

Thank you for your follow up email. We do have plans to be making cases for the Nexus 7, however they’re currently in development so we do not currently have an estimated release date for the cases. I apologize for any inconveniences, however if you have any other questions, feel free to let us know.

Exactly. Google is selling tons of these things and it's been over a month now. I want to give my money to anyone that comes out with a "tank" case but no one is stepping up to the plate.

Maybe it's because lots of friggin people want to friggin buy them?
...or maybe it's because one size fits all and so it's easier to get one to market early.
No company can set up, tool up and manufacture quality products at the drop of a hat never mind them wanting to make sure there's going to be a sustainable market for it.
I realise that moaning is one of the US national pastimes but these forums are international and believe me it gets very old very quickly having to trawl past all these whinging posts to try and find the good stuff.

i agree with this. i also believe google announced the tablet and released it 2-3 weeks later and didn't work with anyone on accessories. perhaps it was to generate sales of their case, but the consumer got screwed. i'm not a fan of the asus case. from day one i wanted a leather case and over a month later, i'm still limited in my choices becasue companies are still working on their cases. i emailed marware last week and they still said 4-6 weeks.

OMG can this come any sooner?? :crying:

$30 for a sleeve? Are you guys seriously melting over this?
Talk about low standards.
Incipio makes decent cases, but they're always way overpriced. I got the N7 because of its value, and this is going to carry over with my accessories for it. If I wanted to overspend, I would have gotten an iPad.

Seriously! I just want a good cheap snug silicone case for 5 bucks shipped

New BobjGear Silicone Case

Just came in today and I'm pleased so far with the purchase. It's not a cheap case ($20.00) but it does feel substantial enough to help my tablet survive any reasonable drop. The fit is very snug and the cutouts for the speaker and attachments are perfectly positioned. The power and volume buttons are covered so the feel is soft and activation will have to be deliberate. I'm a little concerned about heating so I'll keep an eye out for that potential issue and report back after a day or so of use. I find the additional weight is noticeable, but it definitely makes it easier for me to hold in the landscape or portrait position.
After several days of my typical use (web browsing, email, short video clips) l haven't seen any reasons for concerns about temperature issues. I remain pleased with this purchase at this time and definitely feel a lot more comfortable that my tablet has the additional protection.

Thanks for the info mine will ship tomorrow. I hope its nicer looking then this amzer case.this case will only provide drop protection on corners and very minor bumps. The Bob case to me seems much stronger and the curves look sleek. My tablet hardly leaves my mind.

Would love to hear more feedback about this case. I am considering this case or the Seidio Active with stand that can hold up to use from a 3 year old and 1 year old.

When my children were that age and if a device like the Nexus 7 existed, their only time with the tablet would have been with adult supervision.

I would have to agreee. At that age everything can become a projectile without a hint or warning. Only a cute smile and giggle after sometimes a OOPS.. I have my bobgear case now. I can say it adds alot of protection to the device but even so if you drop it hard and it lands in a way causing the device to twist it will Crack the screen still.. I think the only true protection for these devices is BE CAREFUL. do not drop or abuse them. toddlers are designed by nature to test the limits of anything they get there little fingers on.If its not tied down they will sling it just to see how far it goes. Then expect you to give it back so they can try again...
I have a big issue with Consumer Reports. Its a site that gets money from devices and manufactures to give them ratings. while at the same time expect consumers to pay a premium to see there findings. DOUBLE Dipping. they are as reliable as congress.

Agree with your opinion on CR and toddlers. However, CR listed the most different tablets for children when I googled of all the sites listed. A good starting point for one to do their own due diligence prior to purchase.

Accessories and Films

Hi Guys,
I haven't been post active but have been reading through all the threads concerning rooting and roms, to better tailor my phones to my needs. I stumbled upon the Screen Protectors and Films. I am a managing partner at Decal Spec and we constantly use different films and such for our customers and products. And I am in no way trying to promote for business, as it was not my intention when I joined the community.
But who and what would be the proper method of doing 'test' runs with some films we'll be running in the future. We would probably benefit from the feedback from the range of users from XDA.
Looking forward to feedback and questions.
Thanks Guys

You can give out a few for reviews to members and request feedback on your products as testing and wouldnt see an issue with that.

Will do, I'll keep requests on this post. Would like to do more, if anyone has design and template experience that'd help as well. And open to ideas. I'll post shots of my current phone's setup after 4 months of use.
Currently strictly using a film for the screen and backer, we supply some cell phone shops locally and work with some in the east coast. As an alternative to Zagg and Ghost Armor.

From my experience, films for the backs and rest of the device are more gimmick than protection. Just my two cents with experimenting on a One X and Infuse.

I agree with on the films for the back. That's why I accept that the films I put on their is because I like the way it looks lol. Although since we used 3M Lamination over 3M Automotive wraps, it's kind of held up and maintains its looks. Keeping in mind like most motorcycle gear, it can prevent road rash and help soften some of the landing, but any major impact or drops will definitely hurt the rider.
I think we are planning to send out some tests for the films, anyone paying attention who'd like to participate ? I think 5 should be okay, we are working on a couple contracts and I've decided why not give a shot, receiving feedback is important to us when we decide to go into a market. So we look forward to the feedback.

Well now that I think about it, can we just start with Note 2 owners first ? haha I'll post pictures of the backer I've used so far.

I'll try it. I have an Xremeguard back peotector on now. But I still use body glove tpu case. I just hate to get my white phone dirtied and scratched up. I tend to sell my phones after upgrade
My phone of course is Note 2 from att!

This would be your best option. Vectron here on the note 2 forums does awesome in depth reviews so he would be a good candidate for testing for you. He's very detail oriented when he reviews products.
Edit: here is a link to all of vectrons reviews so you can see what I mean when I say detail oriented: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192333

what's that job pay? I might send you my resume..:cyclops:

Lost my phone and someone found it but turned it off
Lost my Galaxy Note II with all my prototype film installed and now someone picked it up but no one's contacting me.
Was riding my motorcycle near my neighborhood for a meeting, dropped my phone and noticed it right away so I started tracing my way... checked google latitude and found out it was somewhere near my house. Went within the proximity, met who I think had it and asked around knocked and rang a few bells (11:30PM sunday night) and no one and nothing.
Verizon hasn't been much help, just told me file a police report and hope they contact verizon to request for them to track it. If anyone has any advice or even maybe familiar with the process verizon has to track a phone let me know. Since it's my work/company phone it's got a lot more value in it than the phone itself, along with my prototype skins, wraps and film. And last weeks pictures for our work of projects.
Lost in the La Mirada, CA area and was last tracked within my neighorhood. Phone is a White/Marble Verizon NOTE 2 with a Custom Carbon Fiber Backer and Custom Edge to Edge Protective film over the screen.
if anyone hears or has any input, I kindly appreciate it and thank you in advance.

Thanks Patrao - I did that but I think in FAQ somewhere, they have issues with JB

Let's make our voices heard!

So I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who would love a waterproof case, me included.
Let's see if we can get our voices heard with one or two manufacturers and hopefully they may start making them for our G2s.
I think we should personally try life proof as I have used there products before and can vouch for them, they are great!
If you have never heard of them then check them out here:
http://www.lifeproof.com/shop/gb_en/?gclid=CJOg5u3UvbsCFfHMtAodSWkAiw
I hope there enough people out there willing to help even if you don't want one yourself, I think getting our voices heard and having different manufacturers making products for us will only open other companies eyes and maybe we will get better support naturally through this! I hope so as I absolutely love this phone, and from what I have seen so do all of you.
If you are up for it then head over here:
http://www.lifeproof.com/en/contact/
And fill in the contact form and just explain how great it would be and how you would love them to make the case and you would definitely purchase them if they started to produce them etc etc.
I hope we get enough support on this!

I think you're better off just getting your phone treated to be waterproof so you can use whatever case you want, or none at all.
Liquipel and Never Wet are two that come to mind. They cover the device with some sort of vapor that dries and leaves a protective film across it.
I've never used it, but it's an interesting concept. If I were still in the Navy, I'd have done it a long time ago.

Lifeproof cases are "Splashproof", not "Waterproof". There is a massive difference.
If you want a true Waterproof case you'll probably have to go for a pouch-style case. There are plenty available - http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_t...proo&_nkw=lg+g2+waterproof&_sacat=0&_from=R40
There are also a few Splashproof cases available on eBay as well - http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_t...proo&_nkw=lg+g2+waterproof&_sacat=0&_from=R40
There are probably more, but these are what I found after about 5 minutes searching.

Liquipel is all well and good but it is not as good as people say. i have seen it not work at all. I have seen a treated device be dunked in water and it was like it was never treated a couple of times now... hence the case idea. atleast you can see its doing something good.

Well I have used lifeproof cases in the past and I can vouch for there quality. I have dunked lifeproof cases with phones inside many a time, I am in the GB whitewater rafting team and have taken phones out with a lifeproof on done underwater recording, kept them in my bouyancy aid all day while training in the water. Im happy with there quality of case and perfectly happy with the waterproof offering.
