First of all, I feel like I got ripped off, this case is nothing but annoying, the flappy door always get in the way even when its flipped around to the back,
you think they would atleast have put a magnet on the door so it has another purpose as a smart cover, I feel like they rushed it, and it's barely worth 10$, let alone 19.99$+Shipping. I would rather have a 10$ leather or tpu case from ebay.
I wanted to state my opinion and get the forums opinion, how do you feel about it?​

You're an angry guy.

Not trying to be, but when you spend almost 30$ on something that is worth 7.99$, and is nothing but a bother, yea, im a tad bit mad, but not too much, just got annoyed and decided to make a rage thread about the case.

Not saying its trash but certainly isn't worth the price (prob worth like $15 shipped? Maybe $10 and $15-20 if it had a sleep function)

i saw a video review of it on Youtube a couple weeks ago and it looked cheap. Reminded me of a TPU case with a flap.

I'd buy it off you for $15 shipped.

Overall I like it, EXCEPT for one really annoying flaw: The hinge is WAY too stiff and it keeps trying to close itself if you fold it behind the device.

Hm, make it 19$, and ill ship it to you, and thats me loosing like 8-9$ in a day.

I'm surprised anyone bought it. The first time I looked at the Nexus 7 I quickly looked for accessories for it on the Google Play website, looked at the cover ... said NO, looked at the extra power adapter, said NO for the second time.
Everyone knows there would be a flood of covers and other things for the device in a short while.

It's a pos ripoff. Much better out there at half the price.

Highlighted the logo in blue

Can you just cut the flap off and use it like a tpu?

Maybe I should put some Elmers glue on mine, and sprinkle some glitter on it, or put some crazy eyes on it.

In hindsight (being what it is), Asus admitted that more of these sold than expected. The price reflects a premium on brand, and it was very plain what these were going to be like from the pictures. They looked like basic silicone with no added features, and they are. Asus said nothing about the sleep feature of the Nexus 7. There was no reason to believe that their cover would take advantage of it.
Had I bought one of these, I also would feel ripped off. Not by Asus or Google, but by my inability to hang on to my $20 based on the facts at hand.

Actually I kind of liked how it looked from the pictures - what the pictures don't show is how badly it handles trying to put the flap behind the device.

The look is nice, but what you bring up is what I immediately thought when I saw it for the first time. There's nothing to hold the cover back and it's not hinged in any way. Asus even had pictures of it splayed out on a flat surface. A video would have made it apparent for sure, and like I say... I could have been wrong at the time. I simply put my bet on the other color.

Did you watch the numerous video reviews on this forum that said the cover sucked balls before you bought it?

Glad I waited to see a review before rushing to buy to it.

LuvTab CARBON FIBRE BLACK
from the photo you can see theres a strip of faux leather that i've been able to clip a stylus to also it is magnetic so if there is a smart cover type thing going on im getting in on the ground floor but this really was a "woop woop im getting a nexus" purchase.
including a few more pics can't say for sure but the stylus may fit in the stem of the cover even when closed
again can't be sure until i get the device
here are a few more pics
stylus came with a ebay bag of accessories for my sgs2
several lessons from this experience
one: never buying an non nexus device
two: never buying that device from google!
LMAO nice case! Not my style since I don't like the bezel on my tabs being covered, but at least that one looks cool.
My boss finally got his N7 today after preordering last month. I walked into Sams Club on Monday and picked one up LOL

Don't mock the case! I have one and it fits my Nexi™ perfectly. They have the new pics up now of it with an actual Nexus 7 in it rather than a photo shop job.
And the magnet thing works like a charm putting my Nexi™ to sleep.

DODOcase HARDcover for Nexus 7 (Smart Cover)

Hey guys my coworker showed me this case today and wanted to share it with you all!
It's the DODOcase HARDcover for the Nexus 7. It's almost like the treegloo cases but I like this one a little bit better. It looks nice and I like the fact that there isn't an entire wooden frame surrounding the device but instead it's held up by an adhesive. Very nice and slim as well.
It also has smart cover functionality.
Check it out at:

Very nice, but it might be too late for me to cancel treegloo
Hmmm...$35 for the shell of a book and an adhesive? That seems really steep for something that wouldn't have much protection.
I got a treegloo for the same price and it comes with the wood frame, not to mention there were a crazy number of colors. I wonder if it's worth emailing them to see if they could make something like this...

Lol!! My thoughts exactly. It doesn't have enough coverage around the tablet and if that's the highest it can go as a landscape stand, try again..
Ehhh, there is no protection for the N7 with this case. The idea of using a reusable adhesive doesn't appeal to me at all, I really don't want to have to wipe my case down with water so that it can keep getting sticky. Nor do I like the lack of customzation. I do however, really like the matching elastic band and liner.
This and a tpu case together would work but sadly I see them becoming extinct fairly soon.
Anyone tried ordering the Potenzo version of this case for the Nexus 7 yet? It has the full features as on the iPad versions.
http://shop.portenzo.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=bookcase-for-nexus
Can't justify this kinda of money for a case that offers little to no protection. Just because you can customize it doesn't make it worth $40-$50.

They have the patent on rectangle, they could always use it.
Now they just need to get the patents on, gyroscope, accelerometer, barometer, magnetic field, orientation, linear acceleration, ambient light, gravity and any of the other sensors in the Nexus 7...
As I see it, I understand why 55% of the manufacturers have agreed to pay Microsoft some sort of "licensing" fee..
It's like a block of merchants in the mall, that are being threatened by one of the larger anchor stores (apple) because they sell similar products and take potential customers away from them. Then comes in the local gang (microsoft) offering "protection" in exchange for extortion monies..
Allowing them in a sense to be protected by a larger portfolio of patents and deeper unified pockets.
Slide to unlock, voice actions, really?!
This case looks dope.

Asus has been doing this for a while. My Asus Transformer has a magnet under the screen that turns it off and on. The Samsung Galaxy 10.1" had the same thing. Samsung even had a straight Smart Cover rip off and everything... and they DID get sued (the 3rd party company).
Laptops have been doing this for a long time now... and even Blackberry phones. Apple has nothing on this "tech" except maybe for the design (held on by magnets).
Probably one of the better looking cases that I've seen so far. Really tempted on purchased it. Just a little weary about the adhesive that is being used.
Hmm..just thought about this. Since there isn't a wood housing like the treeglo case. It can be repurposed for future 7" tablets.

They were not the first ones to offer this functionality
BlackBerry had this with their holsters for years before iPhones or iPads every walked the face of the planet
Let's hope that reason and sensibility prevails
Check out Portenzo. Better than DODO and treegloo from what I read so far. Started a thread about it already.

Does anyone have this case? I really like the design, I am just a bit concerned with the adhesive grip. Although I guess the elastic strap would help keep it in place while closed
I went ahead and ordered this case, I will post a little review once it comes in. If anyone is interested, they can use this code for 10% off: C120726-Q3XNPH7
Caved in and purchased one too. Hopefully it comes soon.

There are three strips of a tape of sorts inside. It holds really well, I can tug on the tablet, shake the case, no problem.

That $5 dollar rotating case is $2.99 now on amazon (free shipping no prime needed)

Well, I was excited when Amazon.com let me go through and ship to Canada... until I saw the shipping fee of $35.
Dang, "currently unavailable".
I can't tell, what holds the tablet into the case? Is it just elastic straps?

That's the same cover for which iBlason asks 20$ for.

That gives us an idea of the insane profit margins they get out of these things.
I've tried one of those out at a vendor in a mall. The magnet is too strong and will turn your screen off if you hold it with the cover folded back. Just a warning.
Ordered it as well. Great price.

watch out for the lead poisoning when you read things like chemical smell its not a good sign. you can buy $1 cases out of china or $20 it depends on what its made out of. remember there is no EPA there. you can buy quality crayons for you kids or the ones that contain lead. Its one thing putting a lead painted statue in your yard but a case that is in constant contact with your hands good luck

I agree and am not arguing with you, but I'm just wondering if you can name any hazardous material that isn't lead.
most if not all these low tech gadget accessories are made from similar materials at more or less crappy working environments by workers that are not so well compensated, that's just business, no sense of over compensating someone when you get get the same for less
point being that you could have paid 20 bucks for a case yet you will never know for sure if they mistreat their worker or used materials that are otherwise harmful to your body
while i see your point, i guess the false sense of getting better quality when paying extra or by buying brand name is something that i disagree with
by the way, it is just a tablet case, not a baby feeding bottle or health supplement, even if they did use something that can possibly be harmful to our body, i doubt it will have any significant health effects before the case or tablet become obsolete
my 2 cents

with this case thats false it does not do that. i have the case and love it. and the smell everyone is talking about is due to the fact its fake leather fyi and its in a tight package. ive had mine for a while now the odor smell went away after a day being out of the package.
GreatDad said:
sorry not a chemist but it just kills me how people look at price rather than quality, i appreciate a bargain but having been to China and seen the difference in materials used not to mention the work conditions of the workers that make these low quality low priced products i tend to stay away from them. There are many factories back there that use quality materials that meet are standards and treat thir workers right, thus higher costs.

These cases are polyurethane, and that's the "chemical smell". It's normal.
Your comment is also somewhat ironic what with your being an advertising shill for kevikev, a reseller of Chinese-made products.

LuvTab Nexus 10 Case

Anyone have experience with these cases? It looks pretty solid, but states they won't have stock until December 1st. It's also in the UK, so shipping time must be considered. I'm just wondering if it's going to be available somewhere else sooner or stateside!
Kind of digging the white, but I feel like the different color retention tab being visible when looking at the device could be a bit strange.

I had one of those cases for the transformer infinity and have to say I love it! Very protective, good for flat reading, good as a media stand and the materials (in the one I had) were very good.
Negative things I would say is that my transformer one almost fit the nexus 10, so I am suspicious of people passing off old stock as new, and the fit not being optimal for the new device.
Although at that price I might give it a go anyway, as I'm in the UK

These guys are expecting stock this week. I spoke to them on the phone and they are new, just for the Nexus 10 (which is why they don't have them in yet.) No carbon finish, though, which the Nexus 7 cases have: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LuvTab-Go...d_Folios&var=580155521327&hash=item416e077518
That looks good, not too thick by the look of it. That is one of my main gripes with a lot of cases i see out there, take a lovely sleek tablet, and then wrap it in a thick bulky case. I can understand it if you are trying to protect your device, but for me, a case is for no other reason than stopping accidental scratches to the screen and to allow it to stand up. There shouldn't be a need for anything over the top.
The only thing i don't really like about that case is the grippers that hold onto the tablet. I would much rather a case with some alternative sleeker method of holding it, it just looks, i on't know, industrial?
found this Bear Motion $3.99 + shipping $4.49, looks similar: http://www.amazon.com/Bear-Motion-P...qid=1353350716&sr=1-48&keywords=nexus+10+case.
i went for one, for that price it's worth a shot.

Anyone worrying about the magnetic effect of the case? I've read reviews on LuvTab® for Nexus 7
amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B008FXSC9U/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
Some were complaining about the bad magnet, which may damage the compass of the tablet. I am looking something without magnet. Of course I can buy a silicon case or those sleeves. But I want something that can create a stand. And it looks like everything that can create a stand is with magnet.
Seems like this has been delayed for a week or so.
I emailed the seller and he said the delay was only for new order not existing ones and that i should expect it next week
Hi,
Yes, the first set of orders we received will be dispatched as normal. Any new orders will dispatched after 8th Dec
1st December is actually a Saturday so it will be sent after that. Expect to receive the case next week. It will be sent 1st class. Hopefully it doesnt take too long to reach you due to the xmas rush.
Kind regards,

My case was dispatched today since i live in the UK i should get it in a day or two so ill post a video review when i do here
I bought mine from eBay. It finally shipped today.
Mine has been dispatched today too. Will probably arrive in 7 weeks given the state of the postal service!
I've just got my LuvTab case and I have to say I'm not impressed, in design its similar to one I had with the tf700, but the finish on the outside, whilst described as leather, is like a mock carbon fiber plastic finish, is pretty nasty if you ask me.
Will be arranging for a return, as I think there will be better quality options out soon
Just received mine this morning, I'm pleased with it it was exactly what I was expecting. Here is my YouTube video of the case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLVukRxkBSY&list=UUIxVHXtT7nfqrYA51b0Xuxw&index=1&feature=plcp

im trying to get a case for my nexus 10 but wont cases like these where u need to constantly snap off the bottom part of the case to fold eventually break/scratch the device?

M8's case from the package, where to buy?

I got mine from Tmobile, there is no case included in the package, i saw this video and there was a case included. I like it 'coz it has a plug / cover for the usb. Or is there any variant of that?
pretty sure that this case only comes with the international htc ones, so if you are in the United States you will not get it, which is ridiculous
I think it's because we don't the replacement screen in first six months over here, so they give us a free case instead...
Guys, the case delivered with the international version sucks big time. I am using it since release 04.04.14
- It is not close to perfect fit. The handset could come out anytime easily.
- The part for micro-usb and phone jack doesn't close all the way after 3-4 days. I decided to cut that piece to avoid hassle.
- The ruber looks already worn just from putting in my jeans pocket.
Not recommended by any means

Yeah it's not great, definitely not worth paying money for but I'm still glad they included it. I'm still using mine until I can figure out which third party case I want.
Just sold mine on Ebay. Offered to someone on here but the postage to US was around $15 - obviously you can buy a case for that.
On the flip side, had mine since release day and used as a daily driver and not a mark on it.
Aww! I'll pass then

seriously dude, did you have rocks in your pocket or something, or drop it a million times, or leave it on the roof of your car? i find it extremely hard for that to happen to your case from your "jean pockets." not trying to be mean or anything but i think your story about this case is a little farfetched. all the research i've done on this case has been nothing but positive

Have to say mine is a week old and hasn't shown any sort of wear as yet, and this is in jeans and my work trousers. Not sure what the hell happened to the other guys case!
anyway, it was free so even if it does start to show wear I'm not that bothered

seriously dude, did you have rocks in your pocket or something, or drop it a million times, or leave it on the roof of your car? i find it extremely hard for that to happen to your case from your "jean pockets." not trying to be mean or anything but i think your story about this case is a little farfetched. all the research i've done on this case has been nothing but positive

I have other friends/colleagues, who have the same problem. It is up to you, if you believe or not. I just wanted to warn other users, who wants to pay for this crap.

I'm sorry to disappoint but my case starts wearing off on the edges too. I only wear jeans and not the tightest ones at that. I never dropped my Phone and i do not have a car. Hence i didn't even leave the phone and case in bright sunlight to heat up or something.
Made a picture if mine few days ago. Here it is.
The case was included in the box for me, as a temporary case, it's fine, but I'd strongly suggest buying a different case if you're going to order one.
I, myself, have ordered a Dot View case, but I'd suggest getting a Spigen or something if you're ordering one.
Here's mine, been in use for a since 27/4, I usually take care of my devices so I'm not sure how it was scratched this much, but that shows how scratch prone it is:

Guys, the case delivered with the international version sucks big time. I am using it since release 04.04.14
- It is not close to perfect fit. The handset could come out anytime easily.
- The part for micro-usb and phone jack doesn't close all the way after 3-4 days. I decided to cut that piece to avoid hassle.
- The ruber looks already worn just from putting in my jeans pocket.
Not recommended by any means

I've had mine as long as you have and... what the heck do you do with your device? Either your jeans are too tight and caused all that scuffing or you're doing something else with it because mine looks pretty much the same as it did the day I got it -- and the flap still closes properly.
I've got it on my M8, and its scratched, port covers doesn't close properly, and doesn't slide in and out of pockets very well. Good for a case that comes with the phone but wouldn't recommend buying it if you didn't get it with your phone.

I was rubbing the case against a rock, the only thing i had in mind was to make HTC look bad. You got me, dude! wow...
Anyway, i am using dot view cover now. THAT is indeed something, i can recommend to protect your device. It is a little uncomortable to write with 2 hands though...
