Hey,
I usually post in the Nexus S forum, where I review cases (done quite a few now) - I picked up a tab last week and was just wondering if anyone would be interested in me posting reviews here as well. I usually allow people to suggest cases as well!
Just seeing if enough people are interested since tab isn't that new.
Thanks!

Yes I am, because I'm looking for a new case for my Tab
Ef-c980nbecstd
I have this case except for one thing, mine has a flap to cover the front as well.
http://www.google.com/products/cata...=X&ei=zjrKTZa5J8rZ0QGq3ZznBw&ved=0CE0Q8wIwCA#
model number is different, mine in EF-C980NBECSTD, which, when I google it, gives back no results. ..... now it does! http://www.spotit.com.au/buy/80133_GALAXY_TAB___KEYBOARD_DOCK_EF_C980NBECSTD.aspx
mine is also made is korea, better than china, my opinion.
Yes, I've been on the look out for a case with a keyboard as well.
Could you review this one please?
Most of the customer reviews are giving it a one star which is very harsh I don't like the other similar one as much, it relies on a magnetic flap to prop it up. Doesn't look as good

To be fair, it only got one review.
I'm trying to find some for the Zenu case, They are pretty expensive and the only Youtube review is in Spanish. You can find them on Ebay and Amazon, there is several options on color and material too.

I've been on the hunt for a really slim, lightweight case for my Incredible. I have the white HTC battery cover, so I was hoping for something like the iPhone "bumper" cases that allow the back to show through. Since there doesn't seem to be much in that department, I went hunting for the closest thing: the REVEAL by Griffin Technologies.
I really really like it, and couldn't find any other discussion of it, so I did a quick video review, and also took some close-up photos. I promise this isn't an ad, I actually do love this case!
Griffin sells it for $24.99, but you might be able to find it cheaper somewhere else.

I can't really find it anywhere except griffin and bestbuy. I found one for $17.99 from one place but it had terrible sales reviews and I didn't want to risk it.
You just sold me on this so hard. Buying right now. Looks amazing with the white back, I can't wait to show it off finally, haha.
Oh by the way, check it out all. Found a coupon code if you order direct from Griffin Technology's website. The code is PIRILLO1510, it seems to have been active for a few months and you get 15% and free shipping. I can confirm it works. Hope this will help someone else out.

Nice review I was in the market for a case earlier in January but I got one before I saw your review. Then again, maybe if I had a cool white battery cover it'd look cooler. I still have the stock black one.
I actually just ordered one aswell with the discount code mentioned above the free shipping says it only lasts til feb 28 tho cant wait for it!

For those who have bought this case,
How rubbery is the black part of the case? Is there plenty of flex to easily hit all the buttons? Does it feel solid or cheap?

I got this case-

and this screen protector-
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008EO263I/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01
They'll both be here Monday, which is when my Nexus 7 (16 GB) will be delivered too. I have and have had products from both Moko and ArmorShield, and both are excellent quality.
I think I'm going to buy that case. For $6.99, it will hold me over until a better one comes around. I don't like it for permanent use.
I do want a screen protector too, but I only want the non-spray self-sticking (static cling?) ones. I bought one of those for my wife's iPad and it worked great. I bought a spray-and-stick one for my SGT8.9, and it sucked (Zag).

Well, MoKo makes good stuff, it should last a while, I think they are just doing the deep discount to get in on the Nexus 7 frenzy. I agree on the Zagg's, I don't like them either, but ArmorShield, Skinomi and BodyGuardz are all good ones, they all make dry apply and wet apply. I usually go for dry apply on phones, like my Galaxy Note i717, but on bigger things like tablets the wet apply ones are easier to install and work with, at least for me. The ArmorShield's are really thin, don't yellow and are not sticky like the Zagg's, which is one reason why I dislike Zaggs too.
Just ordered that case as well. Can't beat that price with prime shipping.
Thanks for the post.

I ordered the case a few days ago and already got it. It's actually quite nice and more indicative of its real price and not the $7 I paid for it.
I ordered a moko one that has the magnetic sleep/wake function. Sort of a gamble because there is only one pic, but it looks like it can function as a stand as well.

Right on! I have been pretty impressed with their stuff, Skinomi's are a little sticky, and Zagg's are ultra sticky of course. With the ArmorShields, the little imperfections will settle out over the next couple of days, and if for some reason it goes crazy, they will just send you another set out.

Update-Yep
Dear buyer:
Sorry for another intrusion but we just came across this report and
thought we have to share it with you:
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/White-Nexus-7-Case-Stain-Clean-Black-Nexus-7,16302.html
With the same porous plastic material, we are concerned that the black
back on the retail version could also be susceptible to dye to some
extend. It may be embarrassing but we have to admit that we did not
have this issue in mind when our fist batch of Nexus cases was made.
Although the case has NOT left any mark on neither of the white or
black Nexus 7 we have after a short period of normal use, we would
rather be overcautious and have more intensive tests done before we
can comfortably let you use the case, even as a temporary solution. We
definitely could not afford to have you as beta-testers on this issue
with your brand new tablets and would suggest you hold off using the
case until you get further confirmation from us or a replacement case,
hopefully within 5-7 days.You can be assured all our future shipments
will be fully compatible with Auto wake/sleep feature and free of any
staining problems guaranteed. You will get to choose any style you
prefer from our whole selection of Nexus cases as the free
replacement.
I understand most of you will get your Nexus 7 today and I am really
sorry to disappoint you with this message but please do excise caution
if you have to use something else on your Nexus. Again, I apologize
for the inconvenience and would appreciate your understanding and
patience in this process of getting the right protection for your
Neuxs. This is what we do and we will do it right for you.
Please also let us know if you have any comments or suggestions.Thanks, Jim
WOW, I don't think I've had such good customer service, at least not that I can remember! Most companies would be like "Oh, sorry about that case we sent you last month, it probably left marks allover your device,sorry, but we can't do anything".

I know, I'm shocked too. Question: you just ordered the one case in your OP, right?
I ask because I ordered TWO cases from this seller. The one you did, plus the $12.99 smart case they came out with on Sunday. I wanted to make sure that this email was about the first case, not the second one (or both).
I am really shocked that they would have gone so far to help their customers for something that cost $6.99 shipped. I was actually going to return that case, since I got the better one, but I think I'm going to keep it just out of support of the seller.

Yeah, just that one. I am really impressed too, it shouldn't be shocking to get that kind of customer service, but the world being like it is today it's surprising to get that level of service, I am definitely going to be doing more business with them in the future!
I've been looking for a case that probably what most people want (sleek design, light, comfortable). I'm looking for a case made of metal, something sturdy, that seals in some way, has a built in keyboard that is actually worth a damn (bluetooth or wired, either is fine). The closest example I could think of would be something akin to an Aluma-wallet, but holding the device in without obscuring the screen. And a kickstand.
Does any such case exist or am I stuck doing some welding? Every case I see is too classy or just doesn't work for me.

I like it but the front cover scratches way to easy. I have had mine for 24 hours and its already scratched up!

It costs a fraction of what Samsung is charging for theirs. Plus, it works with wireless charging.

If you were clever enough you would have taken the time to search "galaxy s6 clear view case" rather than commenting saying you dont know what im talking about.
Anyway, here it is (see attached).
not famous
Sorry! This is not famous at all
I have both Clear cover and Clear view cover. They are pretty good looking, but unfortunately the durability is laking: around 24h is enough to get firsts scraches. For the price ( 24€ for 1st and around 50€ for the 2nd) I'm a bit disappointed, how could it ever last a year with such vulnerability ?
Though it offers a pretty poor protection: metal edges aren't covered at all, and after first drop, get a bad scraches on aluminium. Fortunately I get a replacement for pixel problem, so my phone is bright new right now.

It would be nice is Samsung would get this **** together and have product available for sale on their US site. Every time a new phone comes out they are months behind in getting accessories out.
More clear look on Samsung Clear View Case.
very nice case, when devs mods on this case then it will be brilliant
Yeah the case itself is very good looking and very sleek. There's a lot og good reviews about this case as well so might be a bang for buck case thus far.
I got a case from a friend who can't help me find it because the store that sold them ran out of stock...
It's TLU, flexiable, it has cut outs for everything. It's also not slippery and has the word "Armor" on it's back...
Looks like maybe a Spigen case

Just my two cents but I would check the attitude when you post asking for help and someone takes their time to help you even if it's something you've thought of.
Maybe if you posted the name of the store you purchased these in it might give people something to go on. I'm sure you've asked at the store since they may remember the case and where they got it from.

It won't help because it's not a brand of some sort, the store is just a stand at the mall that sells cheap phone accessories.
If you want holes for the buttons, Cruzerlite cases have it.

I live in Karachi, Pakistan. Its almost impossible to find cases, protectors or other accessories for Nexus devices here. I found bunch of online stores selling the covers for 20x more price then international market. I gave up on that. I ordered 2 cases from ali express yesterday. They deliver round the globe and they got some pretty awesome cases and covers for nexus 5x!
