I bought a nice looking case with with automatic sleep/wake function which perfectly does what it supposed to do - wakes the tablet when the cover is opened:

However it does too much - it puts the tablet back to slip when the cover folded back:
Buyer beware!
Thanks for heads up. A really nice looking case. Plus I like the strap it has for one hand holding.
Good to know, I was looking at those. Hope you left a review so the manufacturer can fix the issue.
Always good to know some case manufactures appear to add a magnet that is too strong and they had to correct them. Id suggest sending an email to where you bought it from if they have the improved version.
What case is it?

Poetic HardBack Protective Case for the Google Nexus 7
Damn it that's the case I ordered too. Are they going to replace it with a fixed version?

That's a good question. I sent a message to seller. BTW it has 3yr warranty.
Can you cut off the automatic wake/sleep feature, by magnet, in settings? I really like this case. Not pressed about wake/sleep thing. Is the tablet held sturdy in there?
I just got this in today, and i have the same issue with mine. Hopefully I can get it replaced with a fixed version.. It's quite annoying and it's almost unusable with the case on.

No, clips are pretty weak.
Ahhh, you know, I bet if there was more space between the back of the cover and the front (when it's folded back), like if it wasn't completely flat, it wouldn't shut it on and off. The magnet they're using is probably too strong.
This is a known problem and a lot of the sellers have delayed their shipments to rework the magnet. I was supposed to get my slim folio case from i-blason this week but they delayed it cause they found the magnet problem. Other sellers are sending customers who already bought them a new case that fixes the magnet problem.

My ghetto Nook 3G case with a magnet in the front pocket does this too.. First time I was like wtf, why does it keep turning off?? Sigh.
Posted this in another thread, but: I taped a few washers to the case under the N7 and it provides enough shielding to prevent the turn off. Ghetto AF, but it will work until the case comes.
As for the clips, I have the same case for my Kindle Fire and it has never came out. They have metal in them...just bend them a bit tighter if you are not comfortable with the grip. And my KF is used by a 4 year old boy.

Got the same case, tried to bend the clips in to hold the Nexus 7 tighter, no dice. When I get the replacement with the magnets fixed I might slice the first one open, I'm thinking it is plastic clips not metal. There is a lot of give, and trying to force them in (to tighten them) does absolutely nothing.
Glad I only spent $7 on this, probably going to try the i-Blason one that is similar (http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Slee...d=1343436893&sr=8-8&keywords=i-blason+nexus+7) and hope it holds the tablet tight. Got a similar case for my iPad and it is very secure.

Man, I think that is probably exactly the same case. Look at how it is cut away from the buttons...looks exactly like my Poetic one. Mine holds tight enough for me...maybe your replacement will hold better. For me, just so it does not come out when shoved in my bag is all I care about, and this does the trick. I'm a middle aged office worker with kids...my life is not exciting enough for the thing to come flying out of the case, lol.
I hope this doesnt happen with the YooMee brand one...

Try putting a folded peace of aluminum foil inside the back of the case where the magnet is when its folded back.

HTC Incredible Otterbox Defender series
So after my first evening with the case I thought I'd post my initial impressions. The case is a dust/lent magnet but this is no different than other silicone cases I've seen. I've had some issues with the screen protector sticking to my phantom skinz protector but it's quickly fixed by pressing on both sides of the case. It's nothing like I used to see on my 3gs Defender.
The screen protector does affect viewing quality of the screen, but it's not bad and you get used to it. The screen still looks better compared to the EVO's washed out screen.
The belt clip works well. My 3gs only fell because of the poor belt clip design, but this one seems more secure. Speaking of which, no drop test yet
Here are some additional up close images. I'm showing the cover for the lens / flash as well as the inside of the front cover. You can see the hole for the optical trackball and the dark cloth that covers the speaker.
I also have a couple more things to note.
1. Without my Phantom Skinz applied (I had front only) the phone feels loose inside the case. Not sure if this is by design.
2. Again, without the Phantom Skinz, I eliminated the sticky screen issue but now it feels like a resistive touch screen of sorts. You can feel the protector depress onto the glass.
3. Lint/Dust magnet!
4. It feels great in the hand and the belt clip is much better than the 3gs and older style defender clips. I haven't had one accidental drop. When I used my 3gs it would always fall out.
5. I compared it to a friends 3gs defender and a Seidio Rugged case and it's actually bulkier than both! It was surprising, but not much bulkier.

Will it fit with the HTC 2150 extended battery?
I received my case yesterday but it seems just a tad too big since the phone slided back and forth when you shake it.

I also just got the Defender for my Incredible and my case does the same thing. When I shake it side to side you can hear the phone move. This is my first Otterbox so I just assumed it was normal.
Its not normal, I called Otterbox and they are sending me a new case but they are on backorder so it will probably be a while. Told me to throw the other one away...
I have since fixed the sliding issue but cutting a few slivers out of a business card and putting on both sides and at the bottom. Shouldn't have to do this with a $50 case but whatever works I guess.

I have the Seidio Rugged and I couldn't be happier, and since it's designed as two seperate cases you have the option of just using the inner Innocase. Also the Seidio belt clip locks and it's near impossible the get the phone out without unlocking it, just my two cents
rant...
I ordered my case moments after getting the notification email last Thursday. I rang them today to ask if my order was okay and was told that they are backordered nearly two weeks.....I live only three hours from them and they shipped out-of-state orders first?!?.....
I'm on the edge here.....
Thanks for listening.
Shakes in the case? That's very disappointing... I'm waiting till I hear better reviews. Thanks for the post.

My defender also fits a little odd. The Incredible moves around within the inner shell as if it were loose. I called Otterbox and they agreed to send me a replacement under the condition I would have to send the original back so they could inspect it.
That thing is way to big.
Today I called otterbox because my case also has a loose fit. I realized this after removing the Phantom Skinz screen protector. Otterbox says that this is not intended and are sending me a replacement. The item is on back-order, hopefully the next batch don't have this issue.
In the mean time I've stuffed my case with two pieces of paper and it's fits much better. I didn't fold them, just placed them on the back side.

I received my replacement case today and the fit is just as bad as the original. I called in to let them know and she said that was the first she had heard of it. We shall see what happens next.
....And I can't even get one having ordered over a week ago....sigh....
You guys drop your phones a lot?
A lot? No. But it only takes one.
I agree, dropping one can cause some good damage if naked, but my Seidio case has served me well. But I dunno if I want to double or near triple the thickness of my phone for a drop that may or may not happen.
It's just really hard to justify a case that looks like it's made for off road racing.

Sorry to say that I got mine today and I'm not sure I want it any more. After reading that others have received phones with the same issue, replacements have had the same issue, my belt clip broke exactly 1 week after I got the phone, and I feel that I waited this long for a product still in development
Dang....if mine is all rattly I may just have to drive my lazy arse down there and shake it under their nose.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with this case:

Here is my video review:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrEc_0CNPag
Excellent. I have bought one through Amazon, though the price is astronomical (because of unusual shape), it is worth the money. In initial days I did a lot of SD card swap, SIM swap so the rubber loosened up a little bit, but it is keeping my phone like new in spite of a few bumps.
I have the otterbox case and I think it changes the angle at which the usb/charge cable is attached.
I think over time it is going to cause damage to the micro usb slot.
Otterbox is way too thick and bulky. I prefer SGP Ultra Capsule Case

It already did. At least I managed to break the little cover in a few weeks. And yes there is a high potential that even the contacts will get damaged if not handled carefully through the slot.
I was actually thinking about taking a dremmel tool to mine and sand it down a bit. It's the top of the bevel that causes the problem. I have to agree that there is a huge potential for damage in the long term.
SGP is way better!
I've had the Zagg & the SGP.
My buddy has the Otterbox.
The Zagg doesn't look great & tends to 'smear'.
The SGP is slim fitting, firm & cushy. The screen protector is very good.
The otterbox is a big & puffy, looks like a retard's helmet.
You have to be a douche bag to use the otterbox IMHO.

I know. I'm just goofing around.
I actually only use my otterbox when I know that I'm going to be outside for a long time. I don't want to drop the phone and break it now that I have it just the way I like it!
Even though the SGP case is nice, nothing beats the look of the phone without anything on... Only use the case when I have to since I just love the look of the XT720 natural. The screen protector for SGP XT720 feels good, but I just noticed the other day a small hole in the screen protector - no idea how it happened. Fortunately it's at the bottom by the buttons and not by the actual screen so no big deal but I can't figure out how it could have gotten such a hole... wonder if that would have happened with otterbox.
my otterbox case just came in today, it fits nicely & looks pretty solid too...very pleased with it!!^^

I live in Panamà, so i order it from Ebay ...
I've had this Otterbox since I got my phone last September and have been pretty satisfied with it. I had a similar one on my Blackberry that had the hard case on the inside of the rubber case and the rubber loosened up. Not on this version....even after the numerous battery & SD card pulls during the ROM flashing fun. I do a fair amount of outside work so I feel the need to protect my phone as much as I can.
Also, I used the screen protector that came with the Otterbox, but when I had to replace my phone, it got boogered up. When the new one came, I simply left the temporary shipping screen protector on and it's done quite well.
Accidents happen (Accident After-Action Report) XD
Well I have even more love for this case. Recently I was in a bicycle accident that ripped my chin open and required many stitches. My phone/music player is always in the front synch pouch of my slingbag when I'm riding. When I flew over my handlebars and landed on my chin, I also landed right on the phone and I slid a good 3-4 feet before I stopped. While my chin was pretty messy by this time, my phone came out intact and with a lot less scratches and gauges then I thought. On the plus side, it even has a bit of soaked-in blood on the scratches that makes it look badass .
Overall, I've gotten quite a bit of value out of my initial 34.99 that I payed for it and I'm still using the case since. Hope my future replacement for my XT720 will have as good of a case as my Otterbox.
EDIT: Pics for proof.

I have got my otterbox case last week from ebay India. I am completely satisfied with the item.
It looks sturdy and gripping in hand. I like the look of the phone with this case.
So I just got my OEM case in from the Play Store and I figured I’d give you guys my initial thoughts on it and answer any questions you guys might have. First and foremost, I must say I am a little disappointed in the overall quality of this thing. It just doesn’t match that of the tablet that it is designed to protect. It’s a little on the thick side, it is made from a cheap TPU style material which I have never been a fan of, and it makes the sleep/wake and volume buttons rather difficult to press. The flap that folds over the screen is the same material, and while it does have a little extra thickness for protection, there is no soft liner to protect the screen. I guess that’s OK, because nothing will scratch the screen anyway when it’s closed. There is no magnet, clasp, or snap to hold it shut, but it does stay shut on its own when the tablet is set down. The hinge is very flexible, and you can fold the cover completely flat to the back of the tablet with little effort. Unfortunately, there is NO smart cover function here so it does not wake up the tablet or put it to sleep.
The design of the case matches that of the Nexus 7 closely. It has the same dimpled pattern on the front and back, and the Nexus and ASUS logos are the same size and in the same location as they are on the back of the tablet itself. One thing I really like about it is that I can clip my Wacom Bamboo stylus (my secret weapon in Draw Something and Where's my Water) directly to the spine of the cover which is pretty convenient. The way that the case was manufactured left seams running around the whole case, and you can see the score and cut marks where seemingly all the cases were stuck together on the assembly line. Sorry, but to me it all just makes it feel cheap. I do like the design of the case, I just think they could have made it with higher quality materials. If you happen to like TPU cases, then surely you will be more pleased with the case than I am. Looking online all the other cases available seem pretty cheap and I absolutely HATE leather cases so I think for now, this is the best case available. It really is a shame that this is what Google thinks is the best way to protect their pride and joy of the tablet world, I really wish they put as much thought into it as they did their tablet. All complaints aside, I can recommend this case on its design and level of protection alone- there is no question that the Nexus 7 is safe and sound nestled inside of it. $20 for this thing is a fair price in my opinion, and as critical as I am of it, I am very happy with my purchase and have no problem using it until a better option comes along.

The Wacom Bamboo that I have just has a clip like any other pen but the Adonit Jot Pro that I have on order has a magnet in it to stick it to the face of the tablet.
Thanks bud! Appreciate it. Going to order this as soon as it is available.
Just got back from the craft store, unfortunately none of the magnets I got work. I tried to get the thinnest magnet tape possible so maybe that's the issue. I bought these little .75"x.75" squares, those magnets for the back of business cards, and a roll of actual tape that comes on a dispenser like scotch tape. No go on any of them.
Greatly appreciate the review. Might opt to hold off on this now. :L
Thx for the review..I'll wait for an aftermarket case closer to the smart cover on the iPad....you know one is coming!
After cracking the screen on my Note 2 with a very short less than 2 foot drop I decided I needed to upgrade the protection on my phone. I had a Cruzerlite on there and I thought that was about as good as you could get until you started getting into the big bulky dual and triple layer cases. After looking over my options I picked up the Belkin Snap Folio case at a Verizon store today. Lots of things I like about it and a couple of things I don't. I wasn't sure I would like a folio style case as I think the cover would be a PITA. After a whole day I'm getting used too it, not saying I'm loving the flip open style case but it is growing on me. It does add some thickness to the phone, not as bad as a Defender or the like but more so that my TPU case. It is a little more difficult to pull out of my bluejeans (Levis slim cut) pocket because of the size, the soft leather body which is grippier, and the snap tab which will grab the edge of the pocket. I don''t know if thi will go away with some use but the snap closure curls up when it is used as a stand and obstructs the phone. Hopefully this will go away as I work and break in the leather. There is an indention for the home button on the cover so it lessens the chance of accidental presses waking the device. The leather is soft and the case has a good high quality feel too it. Although it does feel like a quality product don't confuse that for the feel of a premium product you will get some some of the more expensive leather cases available on the market.

There is a hard rubberized plastic shell that is fused to the inside of the leather folio case. I like this design because of the way all 4 corners are protected. The thick still leather body also adds quite a bit of protection and will help absorb the energy of a fall. I also like the security of the cover protecting the glass during a fall. My wife broke her GSII when it fell and hit a pebble sticking up out of the grass. The fit is perfect and all ports like up exactly. With the case closed you have access to the power button, USB port, and headset port. The headset port looks like it is partially blocked but that isn't the case. It is unobstructed and you will have no problems fitting any headphones. My Westones which usually have a hard time fitting into any case unmodified have no problems with this case.
Nice write-up... thx for posting. I've considered a folio case, but have one huge concern. Does the front cover easily fold all the way around to the back (so it's flat on back cover) to allow access to the volume rockers? I frequently use my Note2 in landscape mode (games, landscape typing, etc) and am curious if this case folds all the way back so phone can be held in landscape mode and access volume keys. Thx
Good review.
I am also interested to know if you can bend it all the way back.
DoctorQMM, you can with the official flip case serie and they are very durable. I see absolutely no sign of wear to the fold on mine after two intense moths of use! One word of warning however. The inside of the white one gets very dirty.
Zero problem folding all the way back on itself. I use it that way the majority of the time
Folded back on itself.
A bit fugly for my taste, but it appears to be quite functional.
I prefer vertical flips as it seems more natural (to me) to let the cover fall and talk. With side flips you have to bend them for sure. As this one has a speaker cutout I guess you can always close it after the call is initiated, and then hang up with the power button.
Two major flaws tho... once again they didn't bother to add a cutout for the notification light, meaning that if the phone is in the desk and closed, you will never see events. And they also didn't bother to cut for the volume rocker on the left side. I'm starting to think that if I want a proper case I have to learn some leathersmith skills and buy some equipment. Maybe create a BeoCase business. /heads to kickstarter.com
I have one of these cases. Highly recommend! :beer:
This is my signature....
I'm starting to think that these cheap tpu cases are not good for even small drops. I wonder if it would be appropriate to start a thread on which cases can actually survive a drop and which cases do not. Doesn't matter if it's a $2 ebay case or a $60 defender.
Not a big fan of these Folio cases because they expose too much of the top and/or bottom.
Does the flap that keeps the cover down become annoying while trying to use the phone?

Don't notice it normally. Now that I have use it a little it sits flatter when using the stand feature so it isn't that bad any more and doesn't get in the way.

Sorry to bump an old thread but I'm wonder how the inner case is affixed to the leather outer. Is it just glued? I like this case but am concerned the inner will eventually come apart from the outer.

Original Post
Has anyone used this leather flip case?
Deluxe Leather Card Stand Flip Wallet Case
It looks to be high quality, but I have a concern. It looks to be magnetic. Where is the magnet? If it is in the little flap, I would just cut it off. If anyone has used it, I would appreciate hearing what you think.

Purchase Review:
I thought I would start this off by giving a quick review of the transaction. I ordered mine through the eBay link in my original post that is quoted above. Shipping was very fast. It was packaged pretty well, and I got exactly what I ordered. If anyone is interested in this case I recommend using the this eBay link.
[Modified] Product Review:
I am reviewing the product as I modified it. I cut the little flap off to remove the magnet.
PROS:
The case does seem to be very high quality. The coloring is very nice and the case has a premium look and feel. I also really like the shell insert to clip the phone in. There is no bulk around the edges of the screen to contend with. It allows you to use swipe gestures as you would on a naked phone.
There is also plenty of storage for 4-5 credit cards, a pocket for cash, and another pocket for papers (Social Security Card, Voter ID, or things like that).
This case also offers pretty good protection as long as it stays closed on a drop. If it were to flutter open in the air before and land screen down, the screen might not fare too well.
CONS:
There is a second magnet inside the front cover of the case. I piece of metal will stick to the outside very easily, However if you run the piece of metal along the inside of the front cover, there is no magnetic pull. I don't know if it would interfere with the phone, but I don't want to risk it.
The storage, while a pro, is also a con. The case is too big to use everyday in your front pocket. It fits, but there is a huge bulge that just looks weird. And I don't like the thought of sitting on my phone all the time, so the back pocket is out. If I carried a bag around all day the size wouldn't bother me at all.
No front cutouts. A cutout for the notification LED would be nice. I don't really need a front speaker cut out, but I could see why others would.
Credit cards in the case. I worry about have the edges of the cards always rubbing on the screen. I have a screen protector your screen would be safe, but the protector itself would have rub lines from the cards.
OVERALL OPINION:
I really like the way it looks. I really like the idea of it. However the cons are just too much, and this case isn't for me.
I would also like to know looks super nice for the price...I want a wallet case like that so I can throw phone in my backpack for work and watnot

Is there a magnet in the cover too or just the little flap?

I picked this up and love it. I actually did away with the little flap and with precision sliced it off. I keep three cards in the card holders and with a little over a months use it is nicely worn in getting an authentic 'vintage' look. Because it's worn in the cover doesn't have issues closing completely giving it a true Journal/Diary appearance.
I bought mine here, but still stuck with the same color posted on the OP.

Overall very impressed with what I got for what I paid. Definitely recommend it.

I already have a flip case. I just like the leather.
The case you have linked uses magnets as well. That is s deal breaker
I have the white version of this case. The only complaint i have about it is that the SPen is a b**** to access
I like your clock widget. Is it part of go launcher?
