This case looks way slimmer than other cases out there. Comes in various colors.
Downside, is it's made with PU leather and I'm not sure if the flap is strong enough to maintain the triangle position.

This looks very good. I am tempted to go for this over the Poetic slimline

Yea, ppl have been getting bad batches from Poetic. It's good that they are replacing them, but should have gotten it right the first time around.
Did you receive the case? Is it good?

:laugh: I got it earlier than you. I did look for a very lightweight case for my Nexus 7 that a) did not add much bulk/weight and b) could be folded back so it could be held as if there was no case. And I am glad I did.
-The case is quite thin and the tablet fits nicely in it.
-The case is quite stiff and the corners are slightly wider than the tablet. I think they'll add extra security to the tablet if I drop it.
-The magnets in the cover put the screen in wake or sleep mode when opened or closed.
I have pics fyi
Recieved my case!
I recieved my case this morning.
First impression: Its excellent. The case is really slim as suggested by supcase. I like the overall feel of the case. Very compact. The tablet sits very tight inside which is something I was looking for. All the ports are exposed and align perfectly. The case extends a little towards the edges, which I think is really good for drop protection. The sleep magnet works as advertised and does not turn the tablet to sleep mode accidentally during use. It also has magnets to keep the flap shut. I am very happy overall with this case. Will post pictures as soon as I get back from work.
Pictures..
What material is it made out of again? PU Leather?
Poetic case is sooo nice, I tried many others, but Poetic is bar far the best.

I was torn between this one and Poetic, because poetic is very nice too. But I think this one provides better drop protection than Poetic and hence I went with it.

The material is great, it has a no slip grip, the ability to stand sideways was what I wanted to watch movies and the price is exactly right! Easy access to all buttons on the tablet.

This case is by far the best case I have found for the nexus 7, it is incredibly thin and does not have any of the useless features, it does exactly what it is supposed to do and nothing more.
I came across this ordinary looking hard case on ebay but on closer inspection it seems to be made from a very different material then your normal plastic/tpu case. Does anyone have any experience with this case?

From the pictures it seems to be similar to the Rock QuickSand cases:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28344476
Wow I like this case. I'm half tempted to buy one although I really like a flap on my tablets for when lugging it around. Sometimes my hands get full and I use my tablet as a tray to balance a soda and some snacks. I have a screen protector, but it would be kinda weird.
This case looks very cool though. I really like the blue, gray, and the red. I'm curious how they feel though. Is it like a sandpaper texture or a rubber matte? I have a similar case for my Galaxy Nexus and it barely adds any bulk (why I like it). My Ringke Slim is a glossy smooth finish, unlike this one.
This would be an ideal case for people who just want to provide protection from the back and some side action... but not interested in a TPU case.
Anyone with an IMAK Cowboy case on the LG G2?
Fits OK?
Lot it and love it !!!

Not much bulk at all compared to a few of the others I've tried. I was using the Ballistic case and switched to the Incipio Dual Pro. This feels much better in the had and is easier to get in and out of my pocket. At work right now so can't post any pics I'll try to post a couple when I get home.
I have the feather and dual pro case. I am impressed by the Incipio products. I've always been an otterbox fan, but I'm really impressed by the dual pro, feels great in your hand and not too bulky, just wish it had port covers.
I attached my pics. Love it. Best case imo.
Thanks guys. It looks really good & I'm seriously considering going with the white one. I just got my bodyguardz skin and am debating if i should return it for this case now. Decisions decisions lol
I like my cases being not slick or slippery. What is the texture like?

Someone in the big thread got the white one. It stains easily. He contacted customer support and they basically shrugged him off. Told him he might be able to send it in for warranty.

It was hard to find and you will not like the price! - at least I didn't, I'm a cheap SOB.

Shipping is free though and it did come pretty fast.
It's cheaper at shop BLT, item BTE5749.
Case thickness question
I like to holster my phones. I have the Verizon OEM holster but don't like the case. The feather around the G2 fits snugly into the holster but is too bare for me and I can't locate the Dual Pro in a retail store. Does anybody know if this is substantially thicker than the feather.

I have it and love it. I consider it the middle-ground between bulky and thin. Its not too bad. Its slick and feels nice in the hand. And offers great protection for the amount of bulk it does add.

Agreed. I could potentially see it slipping out of sweaty hands though. It's a tad slick but overall I love the case
Just got myself the Incipio Dual Pro (Verizon) after going commando for the first 4 days of my life with the G2. It just felt so delicate without a case, so I felt like I had to try something, even though I'm generally a no-case kind of guy.
Looks and feels really great, and really makes the phone feel a little more substantial and safe in the hand when you're picking it up and setting it down. I like that the outside of the shell has a little bit of slickness, but a little bit of grippiness too. It goes in and out of my pants pockets fairly easily, although the silicone top and bottom do provide a bit of resistance. I absolutely LOVE the way it covers the buttons on my Verizon version, and makes them feel so much better to find and touch.
As far as bulkiness, it makes the G2 a little thicker than I'd hoped, but that's the price I'll have to pay for having a better tactile feel in the hand, and a bit of security, especially from random bumps and bruises. Will it survive a fall? I'd say may I increased my chances of surviving a fall by 50%, but still don't have high hopes if I drop it on concrete or anything. There's just a lot of screen on the G2 to potentially not shatter it to death in the event of a fall.
I ordered it on Staples online for $22 shipped. Arrived in less than 2 days with their standing shipping method. I'm still considering picking up the Incipio Feather to see if it feels better to me, but I'm gonna ride with the Dual Pro for a while first.
I just switched from a ballistic to the dualpro and I'm loving it.
One question though, what screen protector are you guys using with it? Right now I'm using one of the cheap vzw ones but would love to find a tempered glass that fits with the case.
Thanks

I am looking into a Dualpro and would like to know if it fits well with the iLoome Screenmate. D800 if it matters...
Anyone use a wireless charger with it on? I have the feather and I am thinking of getting this next. The Droid branded wireless charger works just fine with feather left on.
I really like the feather, its the perfect minimal case, I have had it since day one. Recently I've dropped it three times, each time it saved it! Very impressed, but I'm worried I will run out of luck, so I am considering upgrading.
Hi, I'm buying a G2 and was browsing the cases that are available for it. I don't like any of them - they make the phone extremely ugly and bulky IMO. I like spigen cases, but they only have the slim armor, which is maybe the least ugly of all, but still would love to see something similar to the Hybrid Neo. Any idea if such a case actually exists (stylish and protective). I really like cases that provide good grip too.
Incipio Feather Shine?
Doubt it'll offer much protection though.
Have you seen the ringke slim yet? It's, like it's name implies, super slim, and has a nexus 5 feel.

5$ eBay leather pouch. Slim, protective, hassle free, still makes your phone not look like a 400$ brick. Take it out, use it, put it back in.
Most of the slim cases will give you protection to the back side at best, while screen, the most important part, stays unprotected.

Honestly, the dual pro as a pretty thin profile considering how much protection it offers. Slight increase in size but not an uncomfortable increase

After trying a few of the most popular cases on Amazon I ended on the Spigen SlimArmor. It's by far my favorite case for the G2 I've found. It's pretty slim, makes it feel and look premium with the metalish back, and protects the front with the little lip. I've dropped the phone a few times to and it seems to be doing a great job protecting it and the screen. Plus I really like the color. Everything I want and needed.
Only con I have found is the head phone port is really small and most plugs do not fit.
Still has my vote!

It' s gonna be the melody or dual pro. The spigen is interesting too, but i heard it won't help if you drop it on the front
How wide and thick is the slim armor ?

I cant find this case for the verzion version do u have a link?
I was huntig a slim case. And I mean slim like ultra super so I looked at skins and remembered that I had a roll of vinyl veneer lying around.
It is protective, not adding any bulk at all and looks quite good according to all who sees it.
Had a quickviewcase but its like dragging around a flappy brick and it´s not preserving the slim design of the phone.
The veneer is not lasercut with precision (used a sharp blade and a hairdryer) and it is a first attempt with what I had at home.
I cannot add links to pics
I use Poetic Palette. Real slim.First time holding it. Its so smooth, could slide of my hand, but overtime is good. I guess, i got used to it.:fingers-crossed:

The slim armor doesn't add much, but it is noticeable. I recently purchased the diztronic and while it is very slim, it's a complete POS. It doesn't even fit the phone properly, I can literally jiggle the phone around inside of the diztronic.
I like the Speck Candyshell. It's a little pricey but it fits great, has a nice low profile and makes the phone feel protected. I'm also rockin the Cruzerlite Bugdroid case. It's very low profile & fits like a glove.

I would recommend to have a look at the Cruzerlite Bugdroid Case. It protects the phone fantastic and and has a nice grip to hold the phone. Also there is a nice Android art at the back of the case.
Phone with that case doesn't look too bulky at all. For me it looks slim enough.

Now I'm looking at the cruizerlite , this one and this one
The cruizerlite is a safe bet I guess. What do you think about color - I have a white G2, so maybe the clear case will be the best.
Oh, and one more thing - I have the D802, but don't know what the differences are between sprint/t-mobile, AT&T and D802. I understand that Verizon version is completely different, but how about the others. What model sold in the US us similar to my D802

Totally subjective, yeah?
Cases are pretty personal and subjective, right? That said, I've done this (see below). With the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case, which seems to be a popular choice. Simple and dead sexy, in my opinion of course.

I like the skin! Is that a DBrand or Slickwraps one?
I went ahead and ordered the Unicorn Beetle case, I'm having a hard time visualizing what skins will look like under the frosted back of the case. Figured with the case here I can at least look at that and go from there. I really like the black titanium skin from DBrand as well...
If you click the link you'll have all the info! Toast specializes in real wood skins. Adds less than 1mm thickness to phone -- and cases still fit just fine, albeit a bit more snug, but not enough to cause any issues for me whatsoever. The Spigen case is crystal clear, and looks real nice with the ebony wood and laser-etched 'nexus' logo.

Hey, on an unrelated note -- how do you like Pure Nexus ROM? I suppose ROMming is in my future, once I get used to stock 5.1.1 and decide what I do and don't like about it...
I've been on pure Nexus ROM now for 24 hours and so far so good. I do like all the customization I tend to try a new rom once a week. I just updated my nexus 7 2013 to 6.0 and and that new Google now home button feature is great.
