Hey everyone,
Yesterday I received my sleeve/stand
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Faux-Leathe...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item3378898d52
I'm pretty happy about it and I think my search is done. The outside is padded pretty well. The only con is that the case is a bit stiff when you first receive it so it's a little bit hard to slip the Nexus 7 in and out. The stand functionality is also awesome; I don't need something bulky surrounding my device at all times. Here are some pics. Sorry about the bad quality.

Why'd it have to be velcro? This case would be perfect if not for that...
Anyways, thanks for the review... if the case I'm getting doesn't work out well, I'll consider going for one of these.
Is it possible to use the stand with the tablet at the lower angle for typing? From the pictures it looks like you can just flip the case over but I don't know if it will hold.
Another question, you say it's a tight fit at first but do you think there would be room for a N7 with a TPU case to fit into it?
Thanks interesting case. Does it feel cheap?

+1 Is there a low-angle setup, or just the one?
Also, how bulky is it? The ebay listing only mentions the interior dimensions, but is it going to be a huge bulky thing that I now carry around?
Thanks for the tip, this is the closest thing to a usable case that I've seen(other than the Flipsteady, which is exactly what I want but is too expensive). All I want, really, is a stand that's always with my Nexus.

Just sold my Xoom so I have some extra cash and went over to best buy to find a case. This was steep at $40 but I wasn't into the kindle fire cases as they all use straps that end up blocking buttons/ports. Its not a perfect fit but it works for lack of something better.

Thanks for the pics. mine should be here shortly. Looks like it works well enough and better than the one I'm using now.
I figure when they start making decent cases for the Nexus 7, I'll cannibalize this. I'm thinking about ripping out the mount bracket thats attached to the folio part and fashioning some kind of car mount with it. Hmm..
Just arrived, wish the corners came up over the bezel just a hair further, but I turned it upside down over the bed and gave it a couple shakes, didn't go anywhere. If it had a magnet in it for a "smart" feature and the corners came up a bit more it would be excellent, as it is it's still a really nice option. Much slimmer than the navitech case I was using.

Yeah it looks like it might fall out because they don't quite get over the top of the corners, but it seems to work well.

I just found this new case and it looks pretty awesome. I currently have the Moko rotating case which I really like because it doesn't cover the bezel but it lacks the magnetic clasp to keep it closed and is built somewhat cheap IMO. That is what I really like about my RooCase is the build quality. But I hate that if I want to use it in portrait I have to mess around with the Velcro and angles which is annoying when I just want to read (I mainly have been reading comics which are mainly in portrait but some landscape double pages occur). Also having it cover the bezel can sometimes get in the way. This new SecondShells Orbit case seems to fulfill all my needs so I just ordered one. I'm not so sure it has a stylus holder but that's not a deal breaker for me. I'll post some pics once I get it. :victory:

You can get the same case on Amazon or eBay for half that price m8.

Just checked. Same case on amazon is the same price as from the OP's post. Where did you see it for half the price?

Yeah I searched pretty good too. I only found one at the same price with a shipping fee on amazon when you can get free shipping directly from their website.
Just wanted to let people know that I bought a neat case and wanted to let other people know about it. The Flipsteady Pro for the Nexus 7 is awesome, I did a full review of the case here and we are lucky enough to have NewPencil give one away too. There is also a discount code if you catch this after the giveaway.
Anyway, I hope I am not breaking any forum rules by linking off.

/Carlsberg voiceover - "Probably the ugliest case in the world"
Somebody posted about the iPad version of this case a few months ago, it's a shame they didn't make the N7 version look any better. It also fails at one of the most important things a case is meant to do - protect the device. The folding front cover is ingenious but even with that I can't see it generating many sales at $50 a pop.
I seen the company review this on you tube quite a while back... This to me is the ugliest cheap looking Unprotected Piece of leather and or what ever its made of..
why Put a case on the tablet at all if it provides absolutely no protection. Maybe they should call it fridge hanger/ stand. Its nor really a case is it .
I think they would have to pay me to Use one...
Sorry if this opinion is rude But i see no point in such a device. Thou some of the cases should come with a kickstand. It has that going for it..
ITS A Stand not really a case..
GLAD You like it yourself thou and nice review ..
No big deal, sorry you didn't like it.

I've seen and used a number of cases....
Ive seen flip up flip to the side...
I've seen light ones and heavy ones...
I've seen people get excited by cases that make the note 2 look like a tank....
But - Does anything beat this?
Durable
luxurious
Well fitted

Not real leather but just fantastic for the price. Functionwise it is similar with yours. BTW I was also looking for yours but I dont like the red stitching.

Very very cheap that is. Good deal.
I liked the orange stitching. It was slightly different.
It's a bit like the stitching on jeans
They both look nice but I don't like the minimum protection on any of the sides. My Zenus case covers all the sides more, although not completely.

True
90 % of drops will be on the corners or the face I reckon.
Advantage of the OP style is that there is limited bulk added on the side.
I got the Verus LG G4 Case Verge Extra Slim Hybrid Case with same day shipping on Amazon to have it ready for my G4.
Goods: Case fit really good and the gold one I got look really nice and elegant. Comes in other styles too.
Cons: For me, it was somewhat slippery and I almost dropped the G4 a few times. Not as slippery probably as a gell back though. But too risky for my liking with such a big and expensive phone. I'm exploring other options now.
But overall its a great looking case if you want something that looks stylish.

Nice case and thanks for the pictures.
I almost opted for the case when it was on slickdeals but decided against the bulk. Phone barely fits in my work slacks as it is. I may still grab one though since they look so good.

The case looks way better in person and it did fit in my pocket ok.
