I purchased one of the "HQ Smart Flip" Nexus 7 cases recently, and after about a week of use I'm sharing my impressions >>>
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HQ-Smart-Fl...K_iPad_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item2577aef893
Fit & Finish: Everything is top notch fit and finish. Nexus snaps in securely with no play. Cutouts are absolutely perfect size and position with quality finish on all the edges. I purchased the blue case. Exterior is your standard pleather/ vinyl with nice cuts. I don't see any imperfections. Interior is your standard suede felt.
Functionality: This is a smart case, and it works as expected. Consistently on when opened and off when closed. I don't experience any accidental sleep when the cover is folded behind the Nexus. The cover tri-folds as expected for a stand. I don't have issues with it collapsing when using the stand. I have successfully used NFC with the case on.
Considerations: The front flap does not secure to the nexus. (I preferred this for the slimmest style smart cast) It lays on the front of the screen fine for putting in my laptop bag. Also, the stand is designed for landscape. I don't see this being functional for portrait viewing.
The case feels as sturdy as anything I would expect, however I question overall wear since it's made from pleather. I can envision cracking/ tearing from folding the front cover behind the nexus. I assume this is the same issue with any version of this style case.
The pictures in the listing are exactly as I received it. The represent the product as well as I could. Shipping was from China and just under 2 weeks to my door. Just under $20 shipped for me.
Bonus: Seller shipped the OTG adapter (works as expected and decent quality) as well as the Micro SD adapters.

I didn't see the Minisuit Slim Case mentioned anywhere in this forum, so I thought I'd share. It's exactly what I wanted in a case for this tablet, hopefully it lives up to expectations! Ordered today, will share thoughts when it arrives.

This case definitely looks awesome. Will wait on the cheap case I bought to see how it is. If it doesn't suit me I'll def buy this one!
its exactly the same as every other rotating case for the N7 going by the shopped pictures (notice how the flap is magically narrower in the portrait pic?).
anyway, i've got one of the other cases with the exact same design. its a good case, quite sturdy and durable. lacks magnetic locking but it has that elastic thingo to hold it shut. its a two piece case - you can use it with the outer flap case if you're watching movies or needing a stand, or you can detach the inner from the outer for more portable use (ie. gaming, web browsing, etc.).
At least in the US there is finally some movement in the accessory market for the TF701. There is a Moko case available for $20.00 and eligible for Prime! Hopefully there will be some aftermarket chargers/cables soon.

I purchased two, for the two 701's in my family. The exterior look was very good. The stitching neat and even. The case is very light, and does not add too much to the size, and heft of the tablet. Every hole lined up as they should, though the camera hole on the back is close. The flap that keeps the tablet in also tends to get caught on its velco. I recommend putting a piece of paper against the velcro, then insert the tablet and the flap as far as you can into the pocket, and then remove the paper. This will ensure that your "baby" is well positioned into the pocket, and thus aligned better for the holes.
The only negative is that on both cases, the interior "felt" surfaces were not very well glued to the case. The result was very unsightly wrinkles in the felt in both of the cases. Nothing functionally wrong with it. Just very unsightly.
Still, worth purchasing, and of note is the hole in the case that allows you to charge the tablet while the case is closed.
Update: After a few months of average use, the facing is splitting. The area on the left, where my thumb rests when in landscape mode has split. Very disappointing in an otherwise great case.
god damn where is that Transcover
I purchased the Moko case from Amazon for my TF701T as well. The fit is near perfect. Construction is decent. The feel is not cheap. The accessory pockets are a nice touch to carry biz cards, id, stylus and a misc document or two. Overall not a bad buy for $20.
Looks nice. This one has been handy for me.

Car holders
I have seen a few rolling around the EU side of Ebay. Headrest adapters, and window suction cup holders to use a nav panel I imagine.
I'm still new to the site, so I can't post links until I hit 10 posts. :/
Once I dove in and read more about this fantastic phone, I found about the potentially awesome HTC Dot View feature. So one day shopping on eBay, I decided on the Rock APP Smart UI case. Oh boy, do I regret my $17.50 purchase...Here's why:
Pros:
Dot View feature works well.
Phone buttons are very easy to utilize.
Easy to install on the phone.
Includes very nice and useful accessories.
Packaged well in retail box.
Cons:
Its advertized as transparent view wallet case when clearly it isn't (its just a slightly thinner see-through material)!
It's not a wallet case (Where can you put your credit card(s)?!
The overall case design is very rubberized (not a hard case).
When the phone is inside the case, there is a very noticeable gap (between the lid and case).
The retail packaging looks very nice and high-quality (Compared to most eBay aftermarket cases).
Comes with a lot of cool stuff (Screen dust absorption sticker, Sponge Bob Square Pants lanyard, a very sturdy and rubberized sim/micro-USB ejector tool, 2 micro fiber cloths, 2 in-ear headphone covers, a well made rubber micro-USB dust cover, and a stylus).
The rear of the case looks very nicely made and looks very tasteful.
When there's no phone in the case, there isn't a discernible gab between the lid and the case.
Now once there's a phone in the case, there's a huge gap!
This gap affects how well the Dot View functions (On some angles, notifications are blurred).
This is what the case is suppose to look like (when the lid is completely closed).
Okay, clearly the seller of this particular situation is just trying to market this case so he/she can get the most out of it...But come on...Half the thing's the seller is stating that this case is or can do, isn't!
The primary reason I wanted this case was because I was lead to believe that the lid of the case was either made out of clear acrylic or some transparent film. So buyer beware. False advertizing and misleading high resolution pictures may lead to a regrettable purchase...

excuseme where can i buy this cover?
sorry for my english
I want one!!!! Where can i find it???
This is my review of this case:
http://www.amazon.com/Artech-21-Pre...pebp=1434509354305&perid=0DNW5VXVBZBQGB76YN49
Build:
This case has a build quality when it comes to leather that surpasses most of the other $10 "Leather" cases you find, this is like buying a Leather Couch from a leather only store vs buying a leather couch from your big box store. Alot of leather now days is just leather with plastic backing. This is 100% Leather and can tell by the way it smells, and if water gets on its the spot gets a little darker but than goes away.
Design:
My only design flaw I could find with this case is that it doesn't hold a full size bill, and no front speaker cutout. I love that it has a thumb hole for your DL our ID, plus I have found since the G4 is curved you can really throw 2 cards in every slot and it still sits flat. This was my biggest issue with my Note 4 when I tried a wallet case it could never really sit flat, with the LG G4 most of your cards just sit in the contour of the screen. It also makes texting on a desk easy if you flip the back over, no more rocky phone.
Protection:
All in all I haven thrown my phone with this case but I do notice with the two magnet clasps it stays shut a lot better than most wallet cases I have used in the past. I would say it should protect your phone pretty decent unless you run over it with a car.
All in all I would give it a 9.5/10 with half a star missing for the no front speaker cutout.
thanks , did you leave us amazon review yet ? and any photo to amazon ?
Here is my review for the Daviscase wallet/folio bookcase
General design and appearance: This case has a wallet/folio design. As stated on the product description, it is made of brown leather and the first thing you’ll notice is the typical leather mark label that is commonly found on products made of this material. The material looks authentic, has the typical smell of leather and is slightly distressed, which adds a nice touch to the case. The front and back of the case feature a nice sewing line that matches the color of the case. The quality of the sewing is on par with that of the leather and makes the product even more appealing. The back panel also features one vertical fold, which enables to use the case as a stand to maintain the phone on landscape mode. Toward the top of the back panel, you’ll find a cutout for the camera lens and flash and in the bottom left corner, a small slot provides easy access to the S-pen. On the top right corner, the name of the case “Davis Case” is embossed in the leather. The “spine” of the case features the typical shiny gold lettering and symbols found on old books. The inscriptions are stamped in the leather and make the case look like an authentic book. Despite the originality of the design and the thick leather, the case is not bulky for a wallet case and the limited footprint makes it even ok to carry in a pocket.
Features: In the open position, the left panel features 3 card slots, one of which with a transparent window for an id card. Underneath the 3 slots, you’ll find a sleeve for your bills. At the bottom of the slots, the brand is also embossed in the leather. As it is the case with this kind of wallet design, there is always a concern with the card slots rubbing against the screen of the phone when the case is closed. As this review was done within 24 hours after receiving the case, I did not notice any mark on my screen, however, I was using a tempered glass screen protector, which may have prevented this issue. The inside of the case is lined with fabric with a shiny pattern. The right panel of the case accommodates the plastic part holding the phone. That part is brown to match the color of the leather and consists of a flexible bumper and a flexible back, both made of what looks like TPU material. The back of this holder is partially glued to the leather. The bumper provides easy access to all the phone ports and the S-pen. They all fall at the right location. The bumper holds the phone very tightly at the four corners, however the flexibility of the plastic material creates some slack in the sections between corners. This may not affect how well the phone is maintained in the case but the hold is definitely not as strong as with other TPU bumpers. By folding the back panel of the case, the phone can be propped upright for use in landscape orientation. The case does not feature any magnet: it only folds but does not close completely and it does not feature the auto wake-up/sleep function seen on some other cases. I don’t find this to be an issue since 1) magnets are known to conflict with the S-pen, and 2) the absence of magnetic closure maintains easy access to the wallet.
Closing comments:
Overall, this is a very nice case if you’re looking for a folio/wallet design. The quality of the material and the design, which imitates the look of an old book, really add a nice touch. Although I haven’t done any test, the case seems to provide some level of protection. I found the phone to be snug in in its plastic holder and the thickness of the leather will probably provide some energy absorption in case of a fall. The only point of improvement in my opinion is the plastic (TPU?) phone holder, which could have been more rigid.
Pros:
- Original design with nice details
- 2 devices in one: phone case and wallet
- Leather and sewing are good quality
- Cutouts are accurately positioned
- Ability to maintain the phone in landscape mode
Cons:
- Phone holder not as snug as expected
- A bit bulky (but not significantly as compared to other wallet cases)
- May require the use of a screen protector to prevent possible marking due to rubbing of card slots on the phone screen
- A bit expensive
Hi, I don't trust this place. I bought 2 cases (Cell Phone Wallets) so I could make sure at least 1 would fit and sure enough only one fit. So I keeps that one and thought emails he said to send the other back to him for a refund. I followed the tracking and see it was returned to him. I waited 10 days more but still not refund. Emailing him he keep saying he did not have it yet, even though tracking said he received it. Then he stopped answering my emails altogether. It's been 2 months and still no refund.
DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH HIM, HE RIPPED ME OFF.

Get ahold of Amazon and do it like now and show them the emails and tracking number because I had this problem and Amazon forced the person to refund me.

Personally I don't think you need to do reviews/advertising of products on XDA because Amazon already has their own reviews section and this place is a known rip off and liar.
