Hi Everyone !!
Thanks for checking out my review, I hope you enjoy it. I had fun discussing the last case I got with everyone so I'm reviewing my newest one.
One of the things I really enjoy about this case is the softness of the leather. It is very soft to the touch and feels great.
This case has two viewing angles and 45 degree and 25 degree. The 25 degree angle is unique I believe, and it's my absolute favorite viewing angle.. It's perfect for reading and taking notes while leaving you're Nexus 7 barely raised above the surface and you won't have to worry about it falling down.
The case is very thin, only 17mm in thickness and not bulky by any means.
It's very easy to access the notification menu from all viewing angles.
Lastly, I know I've seen concerns about other cases regarding the sound holds, and this case does not block the sound whatsoever and the sound is great.
Below is the video review as well as some additional pictures that I'm sure ya'll would be asking me about..
If I have helped you in any way, PLEASE PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON :good:
VIDEO REVIEW
Nice review. Thanks for sharing!
Hey, thanks for the review it was great. I've been looking for a decent cover for my Nexus 7 and couldn't decide on just one. I watched your review and then headed over to Amazon to get one. Thanks again.

Rearth had sent me a case to do a review as well as gather feedback for their product from the XDA community.
I'm aware that there are many other Nexus Ringke picture threads already posted, as well as Ploone's video; however, I thought this video went into a little bit more detail, and was worth creating another thread in case anyone was interested and didn't want to go digging through posts.
Rearth is being very proactive regarding improving their case, so if you guys see anything that you like, don't like, or wish that could be added, then feel free to leave some feedback so that we could see it in their season 2 case. (Ex. one thing that I've mentioned before, is possibly adding some texture design to the back of the case)
Here's the link to my video review. I can take pictures on request, but there are already plenty of Ringke picture threads available.

Very detailed video - you convinced me to grab the case.
Have you tried their screen protector? If so, how is it?
I liked it and found it to perform well. Fitment was 98% there. I applied the protector on perfectly but still had a 0.5 mm screen lift on the top edge. I had it on for about a week and found it to be a good protector. I had to take it off because I accidentally creased it while playing basketball. I can't compare how it performs against other screen protectors because I've only used this and ghost armor.

Aww awesome. Thanks for the reply.
I've heard that they purposely make the screen protector a bit shorter because of the shape of the Nexus S screen.
I guess I'll find out when it comes in in a couple of weeks.
Hi guys,
Got my hands on the SGP Valencia for the Nexus S, one of the best cases offering protection for the whole device (screen included!). It's a full leather case which provides a premium feel and quality, as can be seen with the handmade design. The Nexus fits tightly onto the case and shows no signs of coming off easily. Buttons are easily accessible, although the micro usb charging port is unaccessible when the flap is closed.

definitely the best case on the market right now. I'm going to get the vintage edition soon. Thanks for the video review
Thanks a lot for the review. Pretty freaking awesome !

Thanks for the kind words! Appreciate it!
Good review as always. This case reminds me of old PDA's with they flip covers. Not for me though. Having that flap hanging out seems cumbersome... especially while making a call.
Just posting a few pics of a couple products that work together, in case anyone was wondering.
Saddleback Leather medium gadget sleeve in chesnut paired with a Gumdrop Drop Tech Military edition case
Can you post a review of your gum drop case? I have been waiting for a review before I buy. Thanks!

I have only had the gumdrop case a few hours but I do prefer holding the n7 in both portrait and landscape with this case. I have big hands so the bulk the case adds makes it more comfortable to hold. The case ads quite a bit of weight to the n7 however so I can see some people disliking that but it doesn't bother me. The buttons are angled a little towards the back due to the frame but are large and easy to find. The power button requires more pressure than the volume buttons however. As far as the color, the military color option looks awesome in person.
Build quality seems really well done and it feels bomb proof, probably over kill for my use. The screen protector doesn't take away from the clarity at all and fits nicely. You don't get that button press feel either when using the screen. The plastic does give off some weird smell which I assume will go away over time.
As for the SBL pouch, it fits perfectly but its very snug and doesn't just slide in and out, yet. It needs to be broken in a bit more but it'll eventually be a great fit. You can't go wrong with any SBL product so if you're in the market for a pouch for your n7, I highly recommend saddleback leather.
Hopefully that helps a bit.

Hahaha outstanding sir!
If your looking for a good case that comes in some very nice colors and offers really great protection check this case out.
i embedded the video but its not working for me so i also linked it
i'm sorry everybody i havent tried to use xda to make money was just trying to pass on info about this case.
i guess posting a youtube link is affiliate spam also since it was removed?
Mod edit: Affiliate spam removed.
Do not use XDA as a means to make money.
Was kinda interested when I looked at amazon link but after seeing a few videos I dont like the looks. Has a cheap plastic look with the color and shine.
And my first thought about your video, Why did you rip the port covers off (destroy feature of case) before the review? LOL. Only saying because port covers are a must for me.

I got Artech21 case. Compared to the Otterbox I think the materials are better. I have a Defender I bought in late Aug when I got my Note 5 and as usual the innershell squeaks and the outer rubber has begun to loosen. The Artech21 is a harder outer shell and doesn't deform.
I hate the screen protector on the Artech 21 but it's still better than the Otterbox because it does fit a bit closer to the screen. I have two Artech's so one I ripped out the protector and use tempered glass and the other I left the protector on it.
Thank you for the review. I used code Artech21 for a 20% discount on Amazon. I echo your thoughts. I didn't like the screen cover but it was easy to pry out. This case protects the phone and feels good in the hand. I also like the way the buttons still have a "click". I don't mind the headphone and USB covers so I left them on.
Decided to post pictures of this case since I didn't come across any here. I attached some images to the post, but more can be seen in the imgur link below.
Galaxy S7 Edge - Incipio Esquire Series
Great overall case. It adds very little bulk and seems like it will provide decent drop protection. Definitely not as heavy duty as their dualpro line, but a nice alternative for those times you don't need much protection. Buttons remain easy to press and it has a decent lip around the display. The only real bad thing about it is the price. I managed to get it during their half off sale. It looks good, but definitely not worth the regular $34.99 price imo.
Thanks for posting. How does the back feel? Is there any thread or grip to it or is it completely flat?
