Recently I emailed Blurex. I knew from the other post here that they would be making cases for the N7 and I wanted to know if they would make a case with a BT Keyboard like the one I had previously. I also decided to have a little fun with them because they usually love this as it breaks up the boredom of their crappy jobs. Here is the conversation.
My letter:
Name: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Company Name:U.S. Air Force
Company Url:We INVENTED the Internet!(with help from Al Gore)
Message: Hello! I love your cases and have purchased by my admittedly
completely inaccurate estimate at least 2 million of them. I am wondering if
you would be making a case for my shiny new Google Nexus 7(which apparently
will never ship). I would be particularly interested in one which had your
awesome Bluetooth Keyboard bundled with it!

The reply:
Dear XXXXXXXX,
You are a fantastic writer! You really get your personality through. Thank you 2 million times over for a great e-mail, and o-yah, your interest in our products. We are making a cased for your never been shipped(but will surely get to you)Nexus 7. I do apologize, but it will not be a keyboard case.
I will be sure to keep you posted.
Have a great day,
Alex

So it seems for any of you who like me were hoping for a nice Blurex KB Case you will not get one, but they will at least be making cases
This thread could have easily been added to the existing blurex thread. Please post there.

Made my day lol, love it.
Man oh man, a case like that Xoom one for the N7 would be amazing. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

Sadly they woin't be making it. BUT they have released THIS bad boy here!
An XDA user spotted it. It's probably an incorrect price but for 6 dollars including shipping, it's a no brainer! I bought 2 and they are shipping!

Suh-weet. How is that really nice case on 6 bucks AFTER shipping? Doesn't matter. I got myself one before they realized how much money they've gotta be losing, haha. Nice find, man.
well it was originally listed at $299.99, was supposed to be $29.99. They went back and fixed it to say $4.06 now. Guess they've been drinking! Or maybe a couple people accidentally bought at 299 and they felt bad so they gave a steep discount for a time.

It's been raised to $8 and they won't ship to Canada.
Are there any non-Amazon sources of Blurex?

Nice! Even though I got a slim keyboard case (won't be here until late August), I ordered this as well...just in case the keyboard case sucks. Hell, it's only $5.00 with free shipping!

Yeah, there's something fishy here...the product isn't even in stock yet, however there are several 5 star ratings from people who already received them. And I looked at the review history for several of them, and they seemed to rate everything 5 stars...
Careful guys. It could be a scam. It's littered with phony 5 star reviews.

Is it even possible to scam through amazon? Aren't there some sort of licensing involved? What about PayPal? And if so they are wasting there time with a $5 scam... I guess we'll find out considering my order was placed and I've received my receipt...

I would like you all to know I have emailed the seller and am awaiting a reply because I am now concerned and I would feel really bad of I just posted a scam.

I don't think it takes much to be a 3rd party seller. Either way, I don't think the company will completely rip you off. I think the scam is selling cheap case made to look a lot better than they are by planting fake reviews.

if it doesn't arrive or is a poor product, amazon will refund your money
i returned a $6 kindle fire case with keyboard because it was some knockoff of what the pictures stated (it was missing the spring hinge to hold it in place, the stitching was just for show and the glue was around coming off within 24 hrs) - issue resolved very quickly with little hassle

Yes. I don't think a company is going to commit total fraud on a $5 item. But, it's quite obvious they're planting phoney reviews. If they're shipping cases for $5 including the shipping and making a profit, I wouldn't expect too much when it arrives.

The price seems way too good to be true.
I'm beginning to suspect that companies price these kinds of items insanely low at first, get tons of buyers, then get tons of awesome reviews, then they jack up the price and ride the positive reviews straight to profit (see the blurex magyc case as an example). In other words, pays to get in early on these deals (except I won't because I want an easy rotating case, not Velcro reattachment stuff).

This is the reply I got from the seller:
Hi dear customer,
Thank you for your email and concern. We are sorry for the misunderstanding and confusion about those product reviews. In fact, we usually produce around 100 samples for each new item before start producing large quantity. Especially for the tablet cases, we have confirm the case is perfectly fit the tablet. Those product reviews are the reviewers who received our sample in 2-3 weeks ago.
Thank you for your referral and patience for this back order. Please contact us at any time if you have any questions when you receive the case.
Thank you for your time and have a nice weekend
Sincerely,
Accessorise

This is what I wrote them originally: I should've posted this first... my bad..
Hello I recently purchased your product and would like confirmation that this is a legitimate product because I have referred your product to many people. They have questioned your product due to its obviously fake reviews. If you would please email me a confirmation or reference of yourself as a seller it would be good for your businesses and my peace of mind. Thank you.
I guess it makes sense and helps a Lil that they responded..

That's what I'm thinking too. A couple of cases that I'm eying for already increase their prices and shipping as well. I just ordered blue one. Not too much to loss. Just $5. We'll see.

Thanks for the link. Guess I was given misleading information. I was shown amother website showing the same 'official' Google accessories so did not question it when i saw it on the mobilefun website. Mobilefun website has actually now changed the description of the products so maybe they were also misled. Will update original post

Avoid these cases mate, they are an absolute rip off. Just standard Chinese eBay cases with a hefty price tag. There are plenty of better cases out there (and cheaper too).
One of the first branded cases i've had chance to review, lots more to come

In Phx. Just got mine this afternoon, $310, my monthly ended up staying the same, only one year contact addition, it's great, quite the upgrade from my sensation. Buttery is right. The screen is nice and bright. Love it.

Awesome. Hopefully I'll get mine before the weekend so I get to play with it a lot
It was getting annoying seeing all other countries on the play store thread saying they were ordering. Figured we could have our own thread just for us patriots

Most likely a lot more than you would pay on the play store. Probably somewhere around 499 if I had to guess

Well stay on that F5 key at 8 because the US may have more stock but I'm pretty sure you will have more people in line to order!!
Heard the US already sold out, so I wouldn't bother trying.
still debating on this, keep iphone 4s or make the switch to android again. Custom roms and constant flashing?
They need to release this already. I'm tired of waiting goddamnit.

from all reports - the web site was slow, crashing and overwhelmed for UK ordering - some people said by the time they got to the second screen to confirm the phone was sold out. This could be messy.
