Just a brief one, I'll let pictures tell the story with some comments particularly for I9023.
Nillkin Case
Packaging - Professionally made.

Unboxing - Aside from the case itself, you get a package of screen protector with necessary tool to apply. According to some user reviews, the screen protector doesn't fit nicely as there are a little bit part (around 2mm) that doesn't stick completely both on top and bottom of the handset. The surface is kinda rubbery similar to Thinkpad or Motorola Milestone, while it is good for a grip it is also prone to attract dirt if you have white color that is. Selection of color will be: Black, Brown, White & Red
Overall look - I think I'm love ..look definitely sick for me
Fit for I9023 - Perfectly fit, it's specifically designed for I9023 dimension. It doesn't look bulky at all, I would call Momax case bulky (I have one) while this just fits perfectly in hand.
Bonus Pic
Nothing much, just my Audiophile setup. That earphone is a custom made YUIN PK3

im in love with the headphones.

That has the same look as the Incipio Feather but I think this looks much better in white. I've got the red feather right now but would have picked white if they had it.
Is there any place to buy this online?

I've searched on eBay but I couldn't find the exact one. I got it from Taobao (similar to eBay in China)

Hey guys, I did a quick search and found this site selling the white case:
(don't have enough posts yet for linkable URL)
www DOT obostore DOT com/nillkin-ultra-slim-hard-shield-faceplate-for-samsung-nexus-s-p-801 DOT html
I've never ordered from this site before, but for 9.99 plus free shipping, it doesn't seem like a bad deal at all.
I might order this case once my NS comes in.
Hope this helps!

Oh man, just noticed it's for the i9023. The fit's probably not going to be that great for my i9020..
Guess I won't get it after all. >:

You just made me order a pair of those of headphones, tough sans custom made I reckon

This case does not fit the NS4G. It is too big and slides around

I finally realized that the i9023 is slightly thicker then the i9020. Wasted 3 cases on it. Currently using a Ballistic case but its huge. Ordering the white one like the OP now.

This seems ideal for me..just can't decide for black or white...
Does anyone have this in black?

I did not found the black color... any help?

A few days ago I ordered the white one on obostore. I'll post my impressions as soon as it arrive

for the 9020 too?
*edit*
sorry...is a different one

That case looks great, I may have to get one.

Anyone in the UK interested in one of these? I am selling the black version cheap.
Please reply on the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21437070#post21437070
And its brand new!

this is black color ^^
I bought it from here
http://www.obostore.com/nillkin-ultra-slim-hard-shield-faceplate-for-samsung-i9023-p-3715.html
30gg china to Italy
sorry for bad photo but i did the photo with my lg optimus one

Can't decide between to get the silicone or the hard shell.
My worries:
Silicone will be a lint magnet and will get loose over time, but nillkin is a high quality brand so it might not happen.
Hard Shell will be too little protection and if I drop it, the phone might still be damaged.
thoughts?

it's very cool for my nexus s i9023 where i can buy ?

Anybody waiting for better cases?

I liked the Poetic Slimline with the smart cover, but I'm hoping for something a little more quality. Anybody else holding out for better cases or is this best we've seen?

Yeah, I know what you mean. I made the mistake of impulse buying the Asus TPU case that doesn't stay closed. I'm currently tempted by the Portenzo Hardback because I like the idea of it looking like a moleskin book, but I'd also like something that didn't require "adhesives" and could pivot on a desk.

I have order the nilkin tpu case but im waiting something better with smart cover from bigger players like belkin...

I am. I went with a Portenzo initially but the case just didnt meet my expectations so Im in the market for sometihng new. I like the Blurex slim fit folio but I dont really want a black case.

I'm waiting for rokform to come out with a case... rokform.com I emailed them and asked if they were in the process of making a case and they said yes but no eta.

I want one with a removable keyboard, but figure as soon as I buy one... a better one will come out

I'm building one... with an otp keyboard/hub/card reader should be fun when the bits arrive

I just ranted a bit on another thread on this.
I sure hope someone, somewhere comes out with a decent case. Of seems everyone else making 7 inch tablets or EReaders seems to come out with very nice slime cover/cases ((Samsung, amazon kindles, hell even kobo). It has been long enough already.
To answer the question directly, yes I'm waiting anxiously for anything better.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Nope. I usually am all about craftsmanship, etc. but for some reason, a cheapo case is good enough for me. I guess because the "better" cases are almost always also bulkier and/or gaudier.
Edit: by the way, I have the same case as the OP and it does everything I need a case to do...basically protect the screen when shoved in a bag and not cost too much.

I'm waiting for Incipio to get their offerings on the table. A Lexington or LGND version would be great.

Hey guys,
we might have a couple of new winner:
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/624779051/leather_case_for_google_nexus_7.html
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/624836033/google_nexus_7_leather_case.html
They are similar to the poetic slimfit but hopefully they don't have the draw back and flaws.
(they seem to better protect the device than the other slim ebay cases)
I already asked the manufacturer if the cover properly fold all the way back, and if the auto sleep/wake function is triggered when the cover is fold back. waiting for the answer.
The problem: we need to buy at least 100 cases (wholesale manufacturer) ...
and I wasn't able to find these cases from a reseller neither on ebay nor on amazon ?

There's a couple but they lack the functionality of a lot of the cheaper ones.

Nice find

Waiting for a bumper case. That's all the Nexus7 really needs.

I have an I-Blason that I bought from amazon for like 13 bucks. Not the Multi Angle one, but the folio one with built in stand and stylus. I am pretty happy with it. My fiance absolutely loves it

Slim Flip Case

About to pick up a 7 today and want to get a good case for it. I'm looking for one that adds very little bulk, yet has a flip cover and that doubles as a stand. I've seen the Poetic Slimline and Speck Fitfolio so far and both seem pretty good but I just want to make sure I haven't missed any other options. Thanks!

I kind like how this case looks.

I've heard a lot of talk about the poetic but I'm curious if the plastic back part gets all scratched up if it gets placed in bags or desks often. I'm also curious about other options.

Take a look at the eBay slim case I reviewed. It is a good case. Still my every day case.

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not a fan of the ones that overlap like that into the front of the device.

I've tried about all of them except the speck and my favorite is the moko slim fit. They even have one in real leather now.
http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Automati...5156098&sr=8-1&keywords=moko+slim+fit+nexus+7
It's durable, feels good to carry around and has a lifetime warranty so if you wear it out they'll send you a new one.
The poetic slimline falls apart after about a week. It's good while it lasts.
I don't have the nillkin yet, but I think thats the other one to watch.

This one looks like a winner for me as I'm also looking for a slim case.
Actually, its between this one and the nilkon. I can't decode.

I have the Poetic Slimline. I was searching for a cover just like you were, and it was the best one I could find. I love it. It it super slim, high quality, and it comes in a bunch of colors now.

hit up the thanks button plz:

If you're the type of person that prefers quality made things then stay away from the Poetic case! I regret buying the Poetic. I just barely received it today and can't stand this cheap quality case. After owning cases for iPads and Kindles, I don't even know how anyone can tolerate these poorly made cases.

I still can't decide between the Nillkin and the Moko

Thats pretty cool looking. Looks alot like my Speck case.
My buddy has a poetic case and between my Speck and his the speck is a bit better. His is slightly thinner but the magnetically closing front isnt as good as the specks clasp. The clasp holds much better in a bag than the magnet and the speck has far superior viewing angles for the stand.

I don't understand the Poetic-hating. I love mine. Had it for a couple weeks now, and it is holding together fine. No fraying. This thing is as good as I could've asked it to be.
Threw a couple decals on there and BAM. Awesomeness.

So don't order this case: http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Magnetic...75047&sr=1-6&keywords=moko+slim+folio+nexus+7
The seller never shipped it and after 3 days since the expected delivery, and no way to contact the seller, Amazon had to refund the order.

anyone get the speck case?

if so please post pictures as well as a review.
thank you

i Broke down and ordered the black one.. I will report back when i do

I'd love to see it too. I got the clear adopted case for my 5x.

It's totally worth the price. Below are some photos.
Slides in and put of pockets very nicely. Phone feels very slim even with this case on.
The rubber on the back helps you hold onto the phone when using it with one hand, and it doesn't get stuck on your pants pockets because it isn't too sticky nor is it a lint magnet.
Also the lip on the front of the case is stiff and high enough to keep the screen off the ground if it is dropped face first.
Also the buttons are very clicky which is nice. I had a spigen case on my nexus 5 and it ruined the feel of the buttons.

There's a video review on YouTube

A customer came in today with a speck on their gs6 and it felt great. Buttons were clicky and awesome. I hope the 5x is as nice

I will confirm that the buttons are very clicky. No much like on cheap tpu cases.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I ordered the black one because it bothered me that the whites were different shades of white

I received the black one yesterday. I ordered an el cheapo case for work from amazon but I hated it, the Speck case fixes all the problems I had with it.

Can you post a few pictures of the black one please? All reviews so far ive seen have been for the white one

The black one would obviously look best on the black phone. Not sure that model is as popular.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I have the white one on the black phone. Love it. I've always liked the Speck Candy Shell cases.

Mine will be the black case on a white phone

Case came in today... It feels great. I love it.. I dont see myself buying another case.. And im usually a 7-8 cases kinda guy

I would have bought the white one too but I'm a construction worker and my hands are always filthy. As a matter of fact, I would have bought the quartz 5X but went for the carbon one for the same reason. Black on black for me.

Same here this is the highest quality case I have ever had in a phone. I've had otterbox and spigen cases before but this is sooo much higher quality.
Now I know why most iPhone users have this case.

Tech21 Cases

Tech21 doesn't seem to get a lot of attention in this group. I'm just wondering what everyone thinks. I have an Evo Check for my phone and it is a great case. Fits well and seems like it would protect the phone. Still, I also want a folio type case, to protect the screen. Tech21 has this case: https://www.tech21.com/en_us/evo-wallet-galaxy-note8-black
Does anyone have any experience with it that would tell me whether it would be a good or bad purchase?

Their cases are too slippery and they make so few cases for the Note 8 I over look them. Quality is crap for how much they cost

Yes, they are quite expensive.

I hope this information helps. I also wanted a folio type case to protect the cover as all the screen protectors seem to be pretty lacking. I went with my wife to the T-Mobile store where she wanted to get an S8 Plus and this case that you picked out was close to what she got. Was given a drop test by the cashier using his own phone. The packaging was pretty plain and I wasn't that impressed but wanted to get in and out and we got it. After checking it out after she had it a few weeks I went ahead and ordered the one that you pasted a link for above. Honestly I recommend it. Pretty sturdy and thin but protects the phone quite nicely. has a clip clasp and obviously covers the front. Not bulky but not skimpy either... My fourth case for the note lol and this one is a keeper.. Go for it.

I use the Tech21 EVO as it fits with the Dome Glass protector I have. This is my first Tech21 case but the version I got is not slippery at all due to the back.

Looked into that. Its a nice case, but that clasp needs to be magnetic or something, I found the plastic push-in clasp to be cumbersome to open and close quickly.

My s5 it has a tech 21 case has 3 years old and it fel so many times. It is an impressive piece of engenering, just the sound it makes when it its the floor...it sounds muted like it is made from ruber.
Off course i would get a tech 21 for my note 8, choose the evo wallet because ...such a big screen ...
It is very expensive.
they are not slepery unless one has spider hands!
I wish they made a case that completly isolates the phone, and another one so that i can put the phone on my bikes like rokform does.
I am very happy with my evo!
