$5.21 Amazon.com, CaseCrown Bold Standby with Sleep/Wake - Nexus 7 Accessories

http://www.amazon.com/CaseCrown-Sta...=1344521629&sr=8-1&keywords=casecrown+nexus+7
This is a great case, I just received mine today. Much cheaper to order from amazon.com and ship to Canada ($5.21 + 9.99 shipping vs $30.21 + 4.99 shipping) than ordering from amazon.ca
The sleep/wake magnet feature works just like the iPad smartcover.
Case is not very bulky, feels firm, and the magnets really hold the cover down.
Compared with the rotating case http://www.amazon.com/CrazyOnDigita...d=1344472127&sr=1-4&keywords=rotating+nexus+7, it is about 1cm thinner, lighter, and the stand is much sturdier. It also feels lighter, and is slimmer all around by about 1cm. The design of the case is much like the ipad1 case, including the way it becomes a stand.
Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase.

Rotating case underneath for comparison of size and thickness
Sorry for the lousy phone camera picture quality. Too lazy to grab the real camera.

i second this case for anyone looking. i purchased it when it cost me 15 bucks and i saw it was down to five dollars now. :good:

What is the URL
I see the link for the rotating case, but where is an amazon link to the one you are showing off?

[REVIEW] Samsung EF-C1A3L OEM Leather Pouch

Just a brief one, I'll let pictures tell the story with some comments particularly for I9023.

Unboxing - Pretty much straight forward stuff.
Side comparison - Front & Back
Overall look - With handset inside of course
Fit for I9023 - Beginning is a bit rough fit, very tight as the leather is hard, after a sometime it started to follow the shape of the phone. Please note that I9023 couldn't go all the way flushed in the pouch, it leaves about 2 to 3mm protruding out from the pouch, as you can see in the last picture, the speaker hole doesn't sit nicely in the square. I'm pretty sure it fits nicely with I9020.
Coming up next, Nillkin Case..stay tuned
I have it. It is very nice case.
Anywhere to buy this in U.S.? It seems like it's only avail in Europe. So I9020 will fit?
I only see it from Europe or Australia site. I myself got it from hunting on Ebay Spain (thanks to google translate). I just got it this morning. PM me for the link, not sure if it's allowed to post here.
As you can see from the pic, I believed it'll perfectly fit I9020 as the size is a tad smaller than I9023
its a bit to short for the device ?!

Nexus 7 Sleeve/Stand Review

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.

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.

M16 Magazine Pouch

Having purchased my T-Mobile GNote2 on the first day it was available in-store (locally, last Wednesday) I didn't expect to find much in the way of cases. Of course the store didn't have any.
So I went to my local tacti-cool mil-surplus store to see what it might fit in.
Turns out our GNote2 is very similar in size to an M16 magazine; the phone is thinner and a bit narrower but close to the same height. This is convenient as there are many pouches made for this popular magazine.

This is the one I got,it was $10
From the top, with the phone in, it fits nicely, probably room for a TPU style case or a bigger battery.
The case came with the bungee cord so I used it to keep the phone in. I'm sure there are some cases that have full flaps.
Lots of ways to attach to your belt/things
The case I got uses the MOLLE system, which has straps sewn in and makes it attacheable to many systems.
M16 magazines are NOT delicate, so there is no lining to protect screens/finishes. And of course this looks military so may not fit in just anywhere. Color options for this kind of military gear tend to be black, tan, green and various camos. Chances are good that Academy will have some kind of pouch, as they sell the magazines, the M16 is quite popular.
For $10 I think this will work just fine for a robust beater pouch. Looking forward to a serious protective case for the phone, I'm sure it will still fit in this pouch, but might be a little hard to get out if it gets tight.
Just adds to the Bad Ass Ness of this device!lol Yes!

Is This The Greatest Note 2 Case Ever?

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.
