So I noticed there's been a lot of talk regarding the Blurex Magyc Folio case (amzn.c0m/B008D2Q8RG) but I am amazed no one has picked up on Blurex's other case for the Nexus 7, the Ultraslim model (amzn.c0m/B008D2POAS).
Based on the pictures, the case looks MUCH slimmer than most of the other cases here. It also doesn't cover the bezel, much like the Moko and Poetic. Furthermore, it has the on/off magnetic sleep feature. And guess what? The case is only $5!!
Seriously, am I missing something? Why has there been little to no talk of this case? And since it is sold by Prestige Milano, the official Blurex reseller, the possibly of it being fake is out of the question...This seems like the real deal.
That's because my Nexus 7 hasn't arrive for me to use this case. I got this. It's so cool looking. I have the Blurex Magyc Folio Case. And I'm mad you found this for $5. I spent $10. And yes I'm complaining about not being able to save $5. LoL!!
Glad to hear I'm not the only one! So could I ask, did you also buy yours from Prestige Milano and can you post any pics by any chance
Blurex has a really nice customer support and they ship to Canada for 6 bucks!

Anyone else bought/received this item? And still no answer as to why this case has been ignored (which is evident by the lack of responses in this thread). Am I missing something? Is there a catch to this case?
First of all, you use the same link twice for the Amazon item (the incorrect one for the case you're talking about). Maybe correct that so folks know what you're talking about. Secondly, that case is talked about plenty, though from different value added resellers. With that said, $5 + $2.60 shipping each is pretty darn good when compared against the wholesale price direct from China.

Thanks for pointing that out! I've edited my first post to include the correct link.
This is pretty much the same case I have for my Fire. It's a great case for the money. However, when I search for B008D2POAS, I see the case for $5. When I click on it the price goes to $9.99. LOL - I did that twice to verify, now I just did it again and it shows $9.99. Sometimes shopping at Amazon is like day trading
Anyway, with the shipping it puts the case into the same range as the other Bluerex case and some others.
I ordered this one which is pretty much the same exact case when it was $5 last week:

Do you mean mention like in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751662
Both Blurex, all three threads I mean, mention the folio and the one you linked is the "newer" version. I was sent an email from Alex telling me they had an issue with the 600 in stock units. The wake magnet is too strong and would sleep the unit if you folded the "stand" back a lot..
The one you mention was the exact one I asked Blurex about in particular, he had to set it to no stock, until they fixed them. They were $5.00 originally (last week) - Guessing they fixed them, and raised the price to about double for the fix..
It's very similar to these;

Wow, that's weird...seems like it was as an error in the first place. $5 is too good to be true. So is your Kindle case also Blurex, can you comment on the quality of the case?

Yh, I noticed this case too, however, I was put off by the fact that it is only available for preorder. Do you know when it's to be released and also whether it holds any particular advantage over the Blurex case? Based on the pic, they both look the case...
I have one like this coming in today and will give it a shot with my N7. Have a different case on order as well, but it won't ship until Aug 20th so I need something temporary until then.

There really isn't much special about that case IMO, looks like most of the others. I ordered the Moko, which doesn't cover the bezel and it has landscap and portrait modes with the Sleep/Wake function.

Just picked up the Blurex Ultraslim model. You're right in that it looks much slimmer than the Blurex Magyc Folio. Also, I like that the Ultraslim model doesn't cover the bezel which I think looks really tacky.
Not impressed. While it is slimmer than the case that fellow employee got, this does not include the magic magnet, and it covers the bezel edges making it more difficult to use.
Note that it never said it included the magnet, and I never assumed it would, but since the case makes reaching the buttons including power button harder, the lack of such a feature makes using it much harder. Also, it is hard to use the unit near the edges of the screen because the case is in the way.
My wife has informed me she is getting a Nexus 7 now (guess who is buying it), she can use this when she gets it. In the meantime, I will stick with the sleeve that I've been using.

Got my ebay case/skin. It's rubbery, fits well will contours matching the back of the phone. Camera, power, and volume are raised nubs, not cut-outs. Actually this helps with button actuation. Changes the feel of the phone in the hand substantially for the better. You have more control while typing, and you don't feel like the phone will squirt from your hand. Note this is the rubbery-soft type, not the gel type of skin (e.g. like the BodyGlove that AT&T sells).

Amzer Silicone Skin Jelly Case
I ordered the Amzer Silicon Skin Jelly Case for my Samsung Focus from Amzer.com and WOW!!! ... talk about absolute perfection!
I tried the $34 one from the AT&T store and it seemed like an idiot designed it and so of course I didn't expect much from a $10 case but figured it would be something until more are developed for this type of phone.
Boy was I wrong about this being a temporary fix because this $10 thinhg fits absolutely perfect, no obstruction with the buttons, looks amazing, feels like it protects this thing PERFECTLY! and feels so velvety smooth & grippy.
The reason I got mine already is because the black color is out of stock but not the other colors and so I ordered black for myself and maroon red for my wife and so they shipped hers already with no extra shipping charges. AND might I add that the maroon red doesn't look girly at all, it actually looks pretty bad-a%% with the black color of the phone. Of course I'm still waiting for my black one BUT for those want it now, the maroon red is the coolest color right after black.
I just ordered 2 of those jelly cases for the Wife and I, and I ordered a cool leather pouch w/belt clip case from www.focusaccessories.com to hold mine at work...
Could you post pics of your Focus with the Amzer case?

Did some searching on this board, but really didn't see much focus on those of us looking for rotating cases, so here it is:
Does ANYONE have any leads on well-designed rotating cases for the N7? I'm looking at the following three cases, all of which have yet to become available for purchase, but I'm hoping someone else found something that's available now:

MoKo(TM) Folio Cover Case for Google Nexus 7 Android Tablet(With Automatic Sleep/Wake Function) (Looked like a rotating case, but not sure)
I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on the CaseBuy one, but I've never ordered with them, and I don't know if they're shady. Thoughts?

I saw those too, and I"m also tempted on buying the i-BLASON one as well. Still, I'm trying to see if there's any case that cuts down on the bulk; don't want to make the N7 too unsexy
Have to say that so far I haven't seen a single case that looks worth buying (of maybe 2 or 3 dozen I've seen online). I'm hoping that at least a couple of the manufacturers who turn out the best designed and engineered iPad cases decide to address the Nexus 7 market, given its successful launch (in numbers, not execution) and prospects. So far the pickings are pretty uninspired, if not dismal.

Have to agree, these case look to be about 1 inch thick sandwich with the nexus in the middle. I did like the MoKo(TM) Folding Cover Case (2nd one on first post) but only if its at a more reasonable price range.

No magnet throws me off that case but otherwise looks great. I hope they make a revision with auto-wake.
My main need for a case is to stand it in portrait for when I'm in bed reading. Has anyone bought a case and can tell me that it's good for that. I bought one of those cheap rotating cases from an unknown brand and it's good in landscape but in portrait the stand part is to weak and as soon as i touch it it collapses so I'm wary of trying another

I got this case a week ago. I meant to post but didn't get a chance. No magnet in it but a slim magnet can be slipped inside the first groove (the first groove for landscape viewing). I didn't have many magnets available..i tried some slim ones off the refrigerator but they weren't powerful enough. I took out the magnet from a old 6gb 2.5inch laptop drive and its works. The magnet in the hard drive is very slim and I still need to try and cut down the surronding metal plate to make it as small as possible.
This is the one that I ordered and should be here on Monday:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007S9ZSGW/
The bezel NOT being covered is huge deal breaker for me so this one provides that plus the full 360 degree rotation that I wanted. I have the same one for my Blackberry Playbook and I love it.

I'm looking for one that will work well in portrait for reading. I'd like to know how you like it when you get it especially in the portrait position. I bought one that looked kinda the same but was some cheap no name brand and in the portrait mode the stand part is too weak to hold it up and collapses.

lol I ordered that one also. BTW my RooCase one arrived and I do really like it. The bezel being covered is kinda weird though so I thought I might like the above one better. It also appears to be more slim than the RooCase. The RooCase does work well in Portrait mode and it's a velcro to felt kinda link so you can adjust it however you like. Have yet to put serious use in it but it seems great for the most part.

If your looking for a great Nexus 7 Case at a incredible price .. this is a steal for $15...
It's as advertised, it's multi-angle to any position you want because they grey area is felt, and it has velcro feet on the bottom side of the tablet that let's you position it anyway you want and it's holding up great!! .. it's very stable in portrait mode as well..maybe I do a video or something sometime soon, but it's a steal .. closes by a magnet and I forget what it's called but when you close the cover the screen turns off and when you open the cover the screen turns on...
I honestly can't see them settling at this price for this product .. it's every bit worth the $30 that they have as the retail. I had it pre-ordered and they just started shipping yesterday. I got mine within a day since it's shipping from Southern California ..
Update 7/22: Lots of people are asking about "muffled sound" with this case, in which I reply I don't have an issue with that. For those on the fence, I went ahead and took a picture of the back of the Nexus when the case fully extended. There are in fact holes for the speaker. Let's think about this for a moment. When you use the case in "landscape mode", the holes aren't covered. If you just lay your Nexus 7 flat on a desk and just flip open the cover.."you" are covering the holes. But imo, it's not terrible. It's not like the Nexus 7 puts out Bose Audio quality surround sound .. and again this case is only $15 shipped .. Worse case scenario, Amazon has an excellent and simple return policy.
And if your still unhappy with your sound :crying: .. Grab this free EQ App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zbWFydGFuZHJvaWRhcHBzLmVxdWFsaXplciJd
And Please .. Press the thanks button if I've helped you at all..
Lastly, I'm including a picture of the screen lit up in the case. So you can see that no, the case doesn't cover the screen. The notification bar issues is because there's only a little bit of room there and our fingernails need to be cut!

I am taking a leap of faith since I need a case and this doesn't look as ****ty as the other folio cases out and does have the magnet so :fingers-crossed:
I ordered one of these yesterday. Was $10 w/ 5 dollar shipping basically. Looks good to me in the pics, hopefully it fits good when I get it.
I liked how it had the magnet for auto-wake, and how it had a stand mode for watching movies I guess. And how it was cheap
Im really digging this case. I have a post here about the exogear car mount..and i can mount the nexus 7 with the case still on .. when i get time im going to update my pictures and do a new video on that one as well.. enjoy guys!

Thanks
Purchased one of these today. Paid $10 for it earlier. Looks decent enough for me right now. Hope it's good quality.
The one I originally wanted was the one below. Has a handstrap along with a magnet to close the flap. I just can't honestly wait 2 weeks for it so I settled for this one.
Do you think this one has a magnetic closing flap so it doesn't accidentally open?
EDIT: Sorry, just answered my own question. It has a magnetic flap closure.

I guess I got my answer and the cons outweigh the pros:
"I have noticed that the speaker is quite muted while in this case, and also its kind of bulky. It probably triples the thickness of the nexus 7."
(http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Multi-Angle-Leather-Google-Automatically/product-reviews/B008F05Q2E/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&colid=2KWIRQ1PEHLSD&coliid=I3PNX4KCCN3GST&showViewpoints=1)
The rooCases do increase the bulk but IMO they are worth their weight in gold. I have a leather rooCase on my ASUS Transformer - which got knocked to the ground from a height of about 4 feet and it did not get any damage from the fall, not a nick, dent or crack. Here's a link to the genuine leather rooCase for the Nexus. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008F05Q5Q/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
This one is more expensive; but the inner case is detachable and can reattach in portrait
mode for video chats. The only other downside is the bezel is covered and makes the notification bar marginally harder to pull down.

Purchased one of these today. Paid $10 for it earlier. Looks decent enough for me right now. Hope it's good quality.
The one I originally wanted was the one below. Has a handstrap along with a magnet to close the flap. I just can't honestly wait 2 weeks for it so I settled for this one.
Do you think this one has a magnetic closing flap so it doesn't accidentally open?
EDIT: Sorry, just answered my own question. It has a magnetic flap closure.

I have the Kindle Fire version of this case and though it fits it doesn't close properly. The Nexus 7 version should fit perfectly. I think you'll be happy with it. Great quality for the price.

I have been using this case throughout the day and find it to be very well made. It does add a little bit of bulk but nothing out of the ordinary. The tablet is the very well protected and it stands up well in landscape mode. The overall very happy with the purchase.

Exactly. I was surprised at how well made it is. I also ordered this case: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008GFHO6Y/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00 It's going back. Bulkier than I like and it looks cheap.
I also got this one, which I DO like very much but will probably use it more for my daily commute to work on the train: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008G2UG3A/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00 Love how it converts to a stand.
The Nexus 7 Yoomee case will be my main case, when it arrives - I think. Really like everything about it (and I didn't expect to...)
I have to say, if anyone can let me know how to contact rooCASE for support, I would greatly appreciate it. My wife ordered a case from them for her Samsung GT 10.1, and it pretty much fell apart in the first month or so. She and I have both sent numerous email messages asking for them to honor their lifetime warranty, and neither of us have received a response.
Can't recommend them, honestly, and at this point it's the principle of the whole thing. I simply can't believe that a company of their stature (this isn't some fly-by-night outfit) doesn't respond to email. And, as far as I can see, there's no phone number to call.

Does the case muffle the sound as stated by the Amazon reviewer? This is one of the cases that I'm considering. TIA.

The sound seems fine to me. I really like this case, so far. ...for less that $15 shipped, I think it's great.

I bought it for 6.99$ with free two day prime shipping, off of amazon here
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008Y1DHJ8/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
and here is a different model for only 3.99$ USD.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00904VI9O/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
It looks just like the poetic, what do you guys think? Anybody else get this case yet?
The Leather Flip Case is identitical to the Blurex ultraslim case and Moko, Iblason and Yomee all have it as well. It is well reviewed. I am going to pull the trigger on it due to the price

Yeah, same here, I bought both actually, just because I couldnt pass up getting two nice cases for 11$ with two day shipping, amazon prime trial is easy to get
^
Yeah, I have prime as well. Originally I was only going to do the free trail but i decided to shell out the $$ for it, its a good service. I like Amazon's ecosystem, I just dont want to be locked into it lol.
I almost bought this. I however the material seems very cheap compared to blurex. But almost twice the price.

Its highly likely that this same case from Blurex, Moko, IBlason, Yomee, Khomo have all come from the same chinese vendor.
None of these companies makes the cases themselves. They buy from China and then resell, its a pretty solid business deal. Almost anyone can start a company in the US peddling Chinese goods, just go to http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/612200809/for_google_nexus_7_case.html

Exactly, the thing I hate most is the cases for the nexus 7, none are unique other than the book covers at this moment, all come from china and alibaba.
BTW, I just got the KHOMO Leather Flip Case Cover Stand with Hand Strap today, and it's AWESOME for the price I paid, seriously buy it, the quality is amazing too!

I really wish I could, but the only camera I have is the nexus 7 front facing, but I assure you, you will think it's leather, it almost even smells like leather, and feels like it too, and a fine suede interior.
I am sold. Just placed the order for the flip case from amazon.

Just got my case in. Im very satisfied with it, the fake leather and microfiber don't feel cheap at all, it feels nice and doesnt add any bulk to the case. I recommend it, great value for the price.
I like this $7.00 case a lot more than I did my $50 Portenzo case.
Seriously guys, the 3.99$ case, is awesome too, doesn't even remotely feel cheap, these better be sold out by the time I look at them tomorrow, BUY THEM!

No this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00904VI9O/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
It's extremely nice for 3.95$ and it should be sold out, I think I like it more than the 7$ case, it doesn't cover the speakers at all and it's just nice.

it covers the bezel part and i would like to avoid anything on the front part.
I never liked cases before, getting only to make it look like a book when at work
I cancelled the bluerex order today and ordered khomo but the one that is price at 6.99
just got my nexus 10 and wondering where to put it.
and i got a spare evouni envelope case for mba 11".
which also fits well with my nexus 10, though a liitle bit loose.
A cousin of mine bought one of the below Leather pouches for his Samsung Series 9 laptop, looks sexy as hell. Bit on the large size though.

I would recommend this if you are wanting complete protection while in envelope

There is some pretty sweet vids on YouTube of their D3O material

Interesting. The Amazon listing says leather in the title, but refers to ballistic nylon and 3do in the description. If it's really the original leather and 3do case for $5 that's great. Anyone know? Also... How do the dimensions line up with the N10?
EDIT: see post #7 in this thread -- I got the case and was extremely disappointed. Not worth $5.
I do t have this one... But I do have one of their cases for my iPhone 3gs and it is pretty indestructible.

Yes -- I remember seeing the demo videos for Tech21 and d30. Very impressive stuff. This appears to be a great price. From what I can see, it looks like the long dimension would be about 1/2" longer than the Nexus 10, and the narrow dimension about 1" greater than the narrow dimension of the Nexus 10. The case is definitely a bit oversized. However if it's leather, with two layers of d30, it would be a pretty fantastic case / sleeve for $5...
Edit: I searched some more, and it appears that the same d3o case is being sold on different sites anywhere from $5 to $45. For $5 including shipping, I figured it's worth a risk. If it's leather with d3o that will be a fantastic deal. If it's ballistic nylon with d3o then it's still a good deal. Already shipped. I should have it next week. Really curious!

Ugh... Just received it. Very disappointing. I really like Tech21 cases and D3O, but this case seems like a poor imitation. There's orange fabric inside, but it's loose and wrinkled, and it seems that there's no D3O under the fabric. Bad production run? Fake? Defective D3O that dried up? No idea, but I recommend against getting this. Also: despite the measurements, the Nexus 10 does NOT fit in this case.
Total waste.

Oh well, I guess no need to look forward to receiving the package I ordered one Friday. Thought it would be a nice sleeve since I plan on keeping it naked in the house, guess I'll get one from SFbag.
What about some of the cases on etsy.com? Handmade and seems fairly well made.

Yes - quite a variety on Etsy and some of them look very nice. Comparing with SFBags and Waterfield Designs -- if I were opting for a high quality sleeve, I'd lean toward the Waterfield Designs products from SFBags for a couple of reasons:
- The sleeves are explicitly made and sized precisely for the Nexus 10. Most of the sleeves on Etsy state that they are for "Nexus 10 or iPad", which leads me to believe that they're either wrong, or the sleeves are only an approximate fit. The Waterfield sleeves are designed specifically to be just snug enough so the tablet doesn't fall out, but not so tight that the N10 is difficult to remove -- they illustrate this well in the videos on the website.
- The Waterfield sleeves include dense padding, along with a rigid screen protector under the padding and fabric. It doesn't come in contact with your Nexus 10, but it helps protect the screen from shock when it's in the case. Seems like better protection to me.
After that, it comes down to personal preference, design, materials and price.

I received mine today and I got a folio case for a Galaxy tab 10.1 from tmobile lol.. The funny thing is I wish it was for the Nexus as its a very nice case. Its not worth the hassle of contacting Amazon about it but I'm guessing the seller is counting on people thinking that way.

The more closely I looked at what I received, the clearer it was that the vendor misrepresented what he was selling. I was annoyed enough to write a review, post some pictures at Amazon, and also file a complaint. Interestingly enough, the seller contacted me within 48 hours and put in for a full refund (all of $5), which Amazon confirmed the next day.
Here's a link to the review I posted on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Prot...dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
In contrast, I also purchased the Moko Slim Fit multi-angle case -- NOT the "PU Leather" version for $6, but I found they sell a true/genuine leather version for $21 -- with zero cost for 2 day shipping if you have Prime (I love Prime!). Anyway - the Moko genuine leather case is excellent. Fits perfectly, doesn't obstruct anything, very nicely finished and looks great. Ieave it on day and night -- and love it.Here's a link to the product:
