rooCASE Multi-Angle Leather Folio Case (Video Review)

http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Multi...TF8&coliid=I3PNX4KCCN3GST&colid=2KWIRQ1PEHLSD
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!

If this was on Prime... I would have bought it yesterday...

Now it is on Prime but at $15 (would be the same when it was $10 with $5 in shipping)
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!

The rooCASE looks nice but a bit too thick. What do people think about that?
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.

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.

Hi all
This is the only case I've seen so far, not in stock yet.
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/sony-xperia-t-sma6122b-hard-shell-black-p36161.htm
Any more about ?

There are a few on Amazon UK, you seem to need to search for ""xperia t" case" to get them to come up, perhaps because they are so new and not ranked correctly in search
Ordered a TPU one.

I got mine on eBay.

Could you guys that have already got cases, post a review/some pictures?
I'm on the look out for a good case and I'm sure others would appreciate it too.

This looks like it may be the best of the bunch thus far. Gonna order one this weekend.

Got this one also from MobileFun.

I'm hoping a better quality TPU case will come along.
The one I mentioned above from Amazon does the job but its not a good fit. There is a clear gap near the headphone socket viewed from the front, and it doesn't sit flush along the front bottom.
Will keep it safe for now though

Just reposting something I posted in another thread.
I bought a Terrapin Solid Black Hybrid Rubberised Back Cover / Case / Shell / Shield + 6-in-1 Screen Protector Pack for Xperia T from Amazon and it arrived almost a week earlier than estimated (2 days delivery!)
Best bit is it was only £4 so it's amazing value for money. It doesn't feel cheap at all and the material feels very smooth with a matte finish. Almost the same texture as the T's back case. The fit is perfect too - it snaps on to either sides of the phone with only openings at the top and bottom and the device feels very secure in the case.
The aforementioned sides of the case also raise slightly higher (about a mm or so) than the screen so if you were to rest the phone on a flat surface face down the screen never touches. In regards to accessing the side buttons (Power, Volume controls and Camera button) they're all very easy to press - unless you have fat fingers or overgrown nails.
I highly recommend getting one from Amazon since the delivery came earlier than expected and even if you want something more protective (leather flip case, bumper etc) this is only £4 and makes a great temporary case.
Link to the case can be found herehttp://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B009HRVW7W/ref=mp_s_a_4?pi=SL75&qid=1350000465&sr=8-4

My apologies if the photos aren't very clear. They were taken with my girlfriend's iPhone 4 - at night - in the kitchen. If you want I can take a few outside tomorrow morning in the sunlight at whatever angles you want. As you can see the case hardly adds any bulk to the phone - about 1.5 mm either side and 1.5 mm on the back.

The Rock naked case is really nice, have no issues with it so far and looks great.

Just bought the Krussel one, very handsome, well fiting and comfortable touch...I really like it and don't regret my money...

Next week i gonna get my Xperia T and i gonna order this case
http://www.ebay.nl/itm/Protect-Sili..._PDA_Taschen_Schutzhüllen&hash=item3f1caf26d3
love the design :good:

Quick question: What kind of case is best for impact protection, a hard case or a TPU case? Also, how badly will each type affect the phone's ability to cool itself? I've never used a case for my phones before, and I'm kind of worried about exposing the softer TPU case to the hot afternoon sun when I use my phone as a GPS, so I would like some advice if possible.

Glad you like it. I haven't found anything better yet, which could be a good thing - it really is a nice case.
That said, I sent a message to Incipio on their facebook site and I got a response to keep an eye out on their company website in the next 2 weeks or so... I like their other Sony smartphone cases. Another great company is Krusell, they already have cases for Xperia T but they don't seem to deliver to the UK.

I got my Rock case last week, and I have to say I love it. It feels tough, while not being obtuse or overbearing size wise. The edges on the screen side are tall enough to prevent the phone from resting on the screen itself when turned over, but don't stick up too much to be in the way.

Yeah I have the white Rock case and it's easily one of the nicest cases I've seen

Nexus 7 really needs a back case?

Its an accessories related question and i hope its ok to ask here. I just received my Nexus 7 32GB and loving it! As what i would do usually, I immediately started looking for back cases / covers / pouches for this lovely device and then I tought, does it really need one? The material at the back doesnt look like the one that could easily be scratched. But then I see so many cases around and people using them. Maybe to better protect the device when/if it falls? I dont like folio cases anyway and only buying a back case looks like a waste.
Any suggestions?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

It can get scratched. I have mine in a case almost all the time and I found a scratch on mine somehow

While it's not essential, I'd still go with a case, because you just never know what may befall your new shiny tablet. Since a lot of cases on the market appear to be cheap and ugly, buy something that is well built and from quality materials. This may set you back $50 or more, but trust me, it's well worth it. The tablet will just feel better in your hand, more secure, and you won't have to worry about the screen being scratched or it getting dinged on the side.
Ever since I got my Norever leather case I like the way my N7 feels way more than it does without it.

If you're only interested in a "back case" then I would consider the Incipio Feather. Here's my review. The Feather did come with a screen protector, but I'm with the others in this thread and I would just go with a full case to protect the whole thing.
FULL DISCLOSURE: The Feather was provided to me by Incipio for the purpose of review. I do not receive any compensation for my reviews.

Protection required
I would have to agree that i enjoy having my nexus out of a case . I like the feel of the back and for me it would not get scratched as im careful.. But I use it while im out and about all the time.. I have almost dropped it a few times.I think if you drop this device and it hits the edge of bezel The screen will crack.So i recommend having a nice case . For me i have the bobjgear silicone case . It does add bulk and the nice look of the device . But it provices alot of protection.
Happy Nexus Owner

I am thinking of a simple plain matte black slim tpu case. Let's see if I can find one.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

Well, having dropped my N7 twice, I can attest to getting a case for the Nexus lol. Both drops were from at least 3 feet and the first one went down rolling to the sidewalk from my truck in my Treegloo case. The N7 came unscathed but the Treegloo had an indentation that could barely notice. The second fall was in the garage cement floor. This time the fall was straight down back side down and went SPLAT. I freaked!:silly: and immediately took it out and found it turned on fine and the glass was uncracked. So I went inside and put the N7 down but noticed the cover didn't sit flush like it normally did, so I took the N7 out of the case and saw the backing corners were coming undone and I had to press down to re-snap them back into the corners again.
Now the treelgoo has been semi-retired now that I have the Seidio Active case on. It works because I now also use the Kropsson Aero modded universal car mount and using the treegloo wouldn't work in that case.

Simply... Yes
as in the title yes, I have had a couple of small falls and one or two larger ones, and having the stock official ASUS ones may have saved it a lot of times, so getting any that will have some bump protection is a definite go ahead

call it insurance
I like the naked feel of the N7 in my hand. It's just right. The options available are all over the map. Those folding contraptions remind me of the old paper maps that I could never get right. The armored ones look like two handers and you are going to drop test it because it's a job just to handle all that bulk. I'm going with a leather YooMee pouch [correction: they call it a sleeve] for transport purposes and working the N7 raw.
Noticed Otterbox just announced the Defender series for the N7.

I like Otterbox but $70 is too expensive for a plastic case. Hell, you get a hand made leather Noreve case for $72.

I only use a case outside of my house, otherwise for reading and such I go caseless. I have carpet everywhere and even with a couple drops it's not damaged. It's pretty solid.

You're right about that. I figure once things settle down they'll run in the $50 neighborhood. Still, as much as I love Otterbox, I'm afraid it will add too much bulk and that's entirely too much for a stand.

I've had all sorts of adventures with my nexus 7, and to be honest back plate is as good as new, the silver border however is a different story.

I went with a Cruzerlite TPU case $19 doesn't add any bulk really comes in all colors with cool design on the back (they are the androids)

Review of Asus Nexus 7 Travel Case - Slimmest case with best fit

Here is my review http://smartphoneblogging.com/2012/...-its-not-half-as-bad-as-many-reviews-suggest/
Even with all of its shortcomings I prefer this to all those huge and ugly leather cases. Its slim, light and has great grip...I don't care much about the missing magnet, but I do miss the stand function though...

I agree with the review, but they could have done better in designing it. I found a lot of the cases don't look to nice, so I just keep mine in a neoprene case for when I take it out, the tablet is naked.

I have also been thinking to live without a case but at the end I need something which completely wraps around my nexus 7 without adding bulk. I had a pouch too but it was too cumbersome to take it out of it all the time...at the moment there is no better solution for me than the nexus travel case...

Mine, like every phone I've owned lately, lives in a TPU skin, and I just pop it in the lovely Portal-themed felt sleeve my girlfriend made me when I'm out of the house. I don't really trust myself using a naked device at all. The times my devices come out of their TPU skins are almost certainly the time I will drop them... lol

Lack of magnet sleep and magnetic close could have made the case a lot better, but I think. I don't have it yet so I might try to mod it a little with some relatively weak magnets and some tape if I can help not taking the away from its sleekness.

I agree 100%. Just bought original case in light gray and it is fantastic. Such a nice look, looks good quality and feels great in hand. I don't mind the stand, I don't mind that the cover can flip open because there's no security button or something (I have it in my pocket anyway so there's not much room to flap open) what I mind is the magnet because the power and volume buttons are a bit awkwared to press since they're covered with silicone. I mean, it's easy to press, no problems there, it just works - but there is no "click" feeling to it. Even though it is pretty expensive here in the Czech rep (500 Crowns, that;s like 20 Euros) I don't have regrets - the build quality is great and it looks and feels fantastic.
cheers,
D.

Thanks, that's exactly my opinion. I wonder why Asus didn't support at least the magnet...

what i'd really want is a bumper case, with a cover for the screen. The back really doesn't need protection from scratches and stuff like the iPad. Still caseless and waiting

True. Basically I'd love to have a smart cover like Apple provides. It only covers the screen. I also think that the Nexus 7 doesn't need an additional back cover.
A small bumper with a screen cover is really a nice idea.

What I like about the original Asus cover is that it changes the color of your Nexus - I have light gray color and it is almost white, so the Nexus looks completely different Yes, no need for back cover, but kinda nice to see it it light gray or any other color they offer

I hear this was a flop to. I was considering accessories for m N7.
But I dont want to loose the back rubber with I love. and the Damn N7 will slip right in my back pocket if I need to go make a tech call.
I'm hereby going caseless.

The official travel case has a nice rubber back with similar feel to the real nexus back...

If just it had a magnet and were able to be folded as a stand, it would be great!
Sendt fra min Nexus 7

Actually I wonder why no 3rd party just copied the material and fit of the official case and added magnet+stand feature...or at least one of those two features...

After some days of usage I switched back to the travel case, which still just feels the best overall. It has more grip and is slimmer than the eBay smart covers...

Ok at first I thought no auto sleep, a person can deal. Then I read no way to keep it closed. Since the glass is not gorilla glass this is a deal breaker. Scratch scratch scratch.
So they are going to make a premium case too?

AW: Review of Asus Nexus 7 Travel Case - Slimmest case with best fit

Ok at first I thought no auto sleep, a person can deal. Then I read no way to keep it closed. Since the glass is not gorilla glass this is a deal breaker. Scratch scratch scratch.
So they are going to make a premium case too?

The premium case is all but vanished. After the initial leaks there have been no further news regarding the premium asus cover.

I don't want to manually mod the case, that's not my job. Your solution is nice, but its ridiculous that Google or Asus let it come to this. They should give us a premium case.

Picked one up tonight at Walmart. Was looking for a generic case and I was happily suprised to see one. $29.88. By the time Google gets tax and shipping it was worth the extra.
I really like it so far.

LUVVITT Clear Grip (Case Review)

I don't know if this case has been reviewed yet or not but I just got it today. I had to find a case quick and it needed to be cheap since I don't know if I'll be getting the HTC 10 or LG G5. It also needed to be available for same day Amazon shipping since I couldn't go another day without a case. Don't get me wrong, I would have loved to use this phone without a case but it's design makes it a little difficult for me. My palm is always touching the screen which causes some minor issues but my biggest complaint is while playing a game such as Trials Frontier. When playing a game like this, it starts to become uncomfortable after just 5 minutes of play. It's most likely due to the phones thin edges which are rounded but still sharp when holding it horizontally.
Anyway, this case fixed all of my issues. It still keeps the phone very thing but it provides just enough thickness to the edges to make the phone feel more comfortable when using. The case itself feels well made but I suppose there isn't much to screw up with a TPU case. All of the cutouts match up and the buttons stay very crisp. The case provides a nice grip without providing to much grip to where it becomes an issue sliding your phone in and out of your pockets. The actual fit of the case is very snug but it's still easy to remove. I suppose if you keep on removing it and installing it, there is a possibility it could become loose.
In regards to protection it's not going to work any miracles but I'm sure it would provide some kind of protection during drops. It's a super thin case that has the corners slightly raised. They are raised just enough to keep the display off of a hard surface if the phone falls face down or if you like keeping your phone face down on the table. These raised corners however only slightly sit above the front glass so dropping it on an uneven surface such as asphalt could have dire consequences. The back is no problem at all as the raised corners give the back glass more clearance.
If you're looking for a crystal clear super thin case that offers nice grip, decent protection and allows you to showcase this nice looking phone then you might be interested in it. If you care more about protection than the way your phone looks and feels then this probably isn't the case for you.
You can pick it up on Amazon for $12.99 (PRIME Eligible.)
Side Note: The Edge display keeps full functionality if that's important to you.

I did this late last night. I'll take some pictures today and add them.

i bought 4 luvvitt cases when they were like $4-5 on slickdeals including this one. haven't opened this one yet, but will. thanks for the review.

Does the back have texture? Does part of the phones glass back stick to it at all?
Also btw the sale on these cases (including the normal clear one) are still going on with the code SLICK007

Yes. The back sides are textured. I also just removed it to see if it stuck and no it doesn't.
I don't know what kind of deal that coupon code gets you but it its $10 or less then I'd definitely get one. I needed the case same day shipped through Amazon Prime so I just paid full price.

I also got one as well during the SD promo as well, Posted some pictures of it bellow and sorry if the quality is not up to par.
Just wanted to help out on the real pictures. It's fine I've been using the Spigen Tough Armor for now. Just wanted a clear one for home or if show of how nice the phone looks while still on case.

Thanks from the real pictures. I knew I was forgetting something today. My wife had me running around like a chicken with my head cut off today since we are having family over our house for Easter tomorrow.

can you detail your opinions about the build and pros cons of the Luvvitt cases.
Bought sleek armor and aside from the lack of lip it seems like a nice low profile case with some protection. Just dont like the fact that the phone when face down with the case does not have enough lip to protect the screen.
The home button rest directly on the surface.Testing this out I caused micro scratches on the home button which is naturally a bit raised.
Would love pics and opinions on what yours are like...
