Speck Nexus 7 Fitfolio on the way

Just got this email from them saying its on the way. They make great stuff. I might be holding off on buying a case for this one. What you guys think?

By the time they come out with it there will be a hundred others just the same, this Chinese one on eBay is very similar to the fit folio http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150880476182 and is available now. Can't speak for the quality mind you but I've ordered one for the hell of it.

Cool beans. Let's hope they have better patterns/designs then the iPad 3 versions.

It looks like Speck hasn't come through yet. Fortunately, Devicewear The Ridge is a pretty exact ripoff:

How can they rip off a product that desn't exist?

That's pretty much what I'm looking for, but that price stings a little bit (unless it's free 1 day shipping - just my 2c though). There's enough generics on Ebay for me to consider one of them and to just eat the typically longer ship time.

Comes in red, blue or black. Only part I'm iffy on is the belt buckle thingy. Looks nice, but a tad pricey IMO. Sorry for the big pic, lol.

I was even kind of at the Amazon one @ 25, but 35 is enough that I'd pass. Though it does make the Amazon unit look more appealing all of the sudden...
Dang, I'm frugal.
EDIT - Though, looking at it now, I REALLY don't like the Devicewear's clips... The Speck's are much nicer. Dang. Maybe I'll be eating my words.
EDIT II - Taking a closer look at the Speck case in the images, the quality looks absolutely superb. Perhaps it *is* worth it?
EDIT III - Curiosity got the best of me. Plus the free shipping helped. I talked to their customer service a bit on the chat system to get a feel for them since I haven't interacted with Speck or used any of their products before. I thought very highly of that experience. Ordered a black one.

sweeet, just ordered one.
tired of smelly cheap cases...
will report back when I get it.

Haha laughed my ass off. It is like the inner workings of my mind written for all to read. I just found the thread but am considering the case just because of this. Or actually I will wait until you get it and say it if was worth it. You can make it edit IV Thanks for the humor.

Sweet!
Could you tell us how much it weights ?
(amazon product page says 9.9 ounces ... which is almost as much as the nexus 7 itself!)
thanks in advance.

I just noticed Amazon has a couple in stock at a better price (at least in Black) so I ordered one with Prime, should be here Friday.

Ah well, I'm not losing any sleep over it. When I talked to Speck on their chat system I asked just how quick the free shipping was, mostly because I'm leaving for a trip on Tuesday and really want this case before then so it's not sitting on my porch for 2 weeks. They assured me the free shipping should land it at my house by late Friday or early Saturday, which of course would leave Monday as a decent backup since I'm not leaving until Tuesday. I also scored a 10% coupon code on the chat system... I just asked and they provided me with a one time use code. Not too shabby. Between that and the free shipping which seems moderately quick (whereas Amazon is 8.60 for 3-5 day shipping) I'm still pretty :good::good: with ordering from Speck.
Only thing is USPS Is kind of in regard to tracking info, which is how Speck shipped my case, whereas Amazon is solid (in my experience). So right now I have no idea where my item is besides the fact "it shipped."

Does anyone have an idea of how thick this cover is with the Nexus 7 is when the fitfolio is in the closed position?
Actually.. I'm more interested in what the cover looks like with the Nexus 7 when the cover is folded over for normal use. I can't seem to find a good picture of this with the kindle fire fitfolio...

Just ordered one in blue.

New Batch Of LG Nexus 4 Loses Its Glittery Back?

http://www.autoomobile.com/news/lg-nexus-4-no-glitter/10010798/
The LG Nexus 4 has something special that we haven’t seen on other Android smartphones in a while now – great build quality.
New LG Nexus 4 sports a new rear case?
Ever since it was released, we’ve praised the pure Google phone for its exceptional build quality and styling that even rivals the likes of the iPhone 5. However we did have some complaints about rear glass that seem to be more fragile than we hoped.
Well there may be some bad news today disguised as something good. We’ve been informed by many readers who recently received their LG Nexus 4 that the smartphone looks a little different than what we saw last month. Supposedly, LG may have modified the rear crystal glass case of the Nexus 4 to make it less susceptible to cracking.
On a sad note, the LG Nexus 4 now doesn’t seem to glitter like the earlier batch. No matter what angle you hold it at or lighting conditions. it seems to have lost the glitter effect.
At this time this remains unconfirmed but give that we’ve had a dozen readers complain to us about their findings already, there may be something different about the newest batch ship from the Google Play Store.
We’ve contacted LG about this and will update this story once we get a reply on what is possibly a new LG Nexus 4.

Yea, I'd rather have this one

My 2nd nexus 4 looks exactly like the first. The first was from the original batch, and the second was received yesterday.
Original was hw rev 10, new one is rev 11.

Great. A plain black glass cover with a shiny logo...Apple now has a reason to ban the device
Sent from my Nexus 4

I'm sure we'll get 3rd party back replacements. But still, this would suck huge monkey balls. I love the glass back.

excellent news. instead of a sparkly fragile discoball glass back we can have a sleek, plain black, more solid glass back
win-win in my book

I actually liked their original idea with the glittery back. But oh well if they did the back side more cracking safe then it should be OK.

if that makes them produce more quickly and fix the glitches then am for it

I ordered mine when they still had the glittery back, it looks very nice but I'd rather have a durable backing to my device.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

the glitter may seem nice but in my situation i will never see it with this phone case,
i dont care what the back looks like since i dont look at it when in use
would rather a tougher back so it won't look bad when its all scratched but shinny disco ball it is.

How does removing the glittery pattern make the glass more durable on the back? If I recall, the pattern is under the glass. So if they just removed what was under the glass, isn't it still the same glass?
Btw, if anyone has gotten one without the design, Id like to see some pics please. Just curious, want more than the one in the OP

No space in between the back and the glass. So I presume that the plastic can sit flushed against the back glass pane to provide more strength?

I placed my order about a month ago and should hopefully get it in the next few weeks.
From the devices I have seen, personally, I love the original back and would almost rather not have one if it did not have the back.
Call me crazy but from the first time I saw it, I wanted nothing more than to have the phone in a bumper case and show it off with pride.
I guess I will just wait to see what style of back others get that ordered the same time I did and decide if I want to sell it.

I don't know. The phone arrived yesterday though.
Mine has the design but it doesn't sparkle.

how much less susceptible to cracking? it's still glass so i don't think it would be by much. i like the sparkly effect, this is sad news.

So glad I got mine from day one
Sent from my blazing fast nexus 4 o yeah baby this phone is awesome

Some of you ppl make the dumbest leaps I have ever read.....Sparkle gone = stronger glass....just retarded.

[Q] Tips for going Caseless?

Does anyone have advice regarding going about using the HTC One without a case, naked and out in the world, without utterly destroying the phone due to scratches, dings and dents?
I pre-ordered my HTC One 64 gb on contract and Im considering selling it in december and buying whatever Nexus phone google is offering in november off contract, and judging by the nexus 4, the price point shouldnt be too bad.

My tip is don't !

If you want to go caseless, your best bet is to install something like the Skinomi full body shield. It should provide protection against scratch on the body.

get a clear case/bumper
I tried going caseless for sgs3, n2, and nexus 4.
Random scratches here and there. Not worth it!

So what If it scratches. You won't notice them when the screen is on anyway.

a pouch
I'm with you in that it seems a dreadful shame to cover up such a beautiful piece of design.
Personally my solution is to use a leather pouch - protected when I'm not using it and all it's caseless glory when I am

Same here, hate using cases for my phones. Went caseless with One X, then S3 then Note 2, Xperia Sola, then 4s, then Nexus 4, then back to One X (I know, I change phones a lot and now I'm planning to get the One ). What I did was buy those full body screen protectors, I used Zagg for the rear and sides, but used the Spigen ones on the screen so that I wouldn't even feel or see any screen protector on the screen.
I sold all my other phones (except N4 and Sola) near the real value I bought it because it still looks and feels so brand new and until now, none of my buyers have complained (I give them an opportunity to test the phones for a week first, if they need help with something, I help them to the best I can, and if they don't like the phone, I give them a full refund, but I ask for a free snack)
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I've been fortunate enough to have not dropped my last 3 phones while caseless.
It used to happen when I would get out of the car, so now the phone is either in my pocket or in my hand when I get in/out of the car.
I always have a back screen protector so that the back won't scratch when it lays on the table.
Keys and change in right pocket, phone in left.
Other than that, keep a tight grip!

It's lovely naked, it's really is, people should have to pay to see it, it's like a peep show!
I'll be getting a pouch very, very soon... until then, I'm holding it like a baby!

This is the million dollar dilemma every time!
I HATE cases, the phone is designed to be held and felt as it is, not with a case that makes it twice the size (some don't I know...)
A pouch kind of helps here, but then if you are using the device and you drop it, I have yet to see a pouch that spots it has been dropped and quickly attaches itself to avoid damage

Everyone saying use a pouch for when the phone is not in use lol. U do know the most damage done to a phone is from dropping it right? You can't drop a phone thats putaway. You can when you are holding it. So pouch doesnt actually make a difference.

It's scratch proof. I have a 1-year-old One X and it has maybe 2 micro scratches on the screen. Almost immaculate and the same as an Xperia on the second day. lol
Edit: Also not sure how could you dent/scratch a phone in your pocket?!

thats only semi true when you are carrying around taking it out from your pocket etc its always in the pouch
but if you drop while using it yes its true
so a pouch is kinda of half protection and protects against the element in pocket/ bag etc

I have one instance though a sharp object went inside the pouch I put my phone on... I'm not sure how many days it has been on the pouch but it scratched my phone like hell. I thought it was dust or something on my hands when it's dirty until I felt it when I was holding the pouch and meh! A little stone made it inside.

I recommend these. They aren't out yet for the One but should be soon. I used them on my One X for nine months and never had an issue. They are wet apply and shrink when dry so tightly that you can feel the raised lettering in the Beats logo. Their shiny though which may not appeal to every one.

A lanyard would be good for preventing drops. Unfortunately, there is no obvious attachment point.

Cracked your N4 Glass? Enjoy it!

You often read here how N4 owners are terrified of scratching, cracking or otherwise scarring the fragile N4 glass panes. (Quite frankly I haven't paid any special attention to mine nor use any screen protectors, often carrying it my pockets together with keys and coins, and the phone has held up well.)
But if you should crack or scratch yours, wear it proudly like a battle wound. A war scar. A unique badge of honor. And I've attached a recent article which shows that people are increasingly less inclined to rush out to repair their cracked smartphone glass and instead relishing in their uncommon individuality.
Remember: No two cracks are the same.
(Care to show us a photo of your cracked screen? I'll definitely do so once mine does. )

Well.....
If mine cracks it's getting repaired ASAP!
But then again I am OCD about my phone(s).

Oh god, why.

i reported some flaming posts, the mod deleted what he thought was necessary to keep the forums clean, and prevent useless discussions

I honestly think that people who crack their screens don't have the knowledge or the money to replace them, hence they try and make themselves feel better about it with this psycho-babble hipster nonsense.

That could very well be the explanation for some of them. After all, my read of the subjects the article was referring to tended to be young smartphone owners. Of course history teaches us that trends are usually started by the younger generation. I'm sure the first pair of jeans with knee tears weren't first worn by the 40-something crowd. Probably a couple of young indigant hipsters cruising around town with their well-worn jeans. I doubt very much we're going to see people intentionally cracking their phone screens like some of us used to take scissors to newer jeans to create the same effect, but then again I never thought that my then 60+ year old dad would be at Levis looking at their distressed jeans collection.
Not advocating a position. Just posting the article for discussion.

Many of my friends have shattered their iPhone's digitizers but still have full touch functionality. I've replaced several of their screens because repair shops have quoted them $80-100 and I told them if they buy it off eBay for around $25 I'll install it for them. If I didn't offer they'd probably still have shattered screens just because they aren't willing to pay a shop that much to replace them.
Recently my little brother shattered his n4's digitizer and it wouldn't detect touch on half the screen. Later that day he dropped it again and lost touch completely. So he has to replace it.

It's self consolation while inside their heart they are crying. If my N4 back cracks I probably going to buy dbrand skin, instead of proudly showing how careless I am.

I know I'm super clumsy. So my N4 has been in some form of hard case since I could get my hands on one. Currently loving my Seidio Convert. I'd rather not have to send another N4 back.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

My phone is completely naked, not even screen protectors, and I have yet to contract a scratch. Last night I came close, I dropped it off of my bed and the face of it hit the cross-leg stabilizer beam thing (I'm sure there's a name for it, too lazy to Google) of my bed-side table, which is metal. I yelled an obscenity very loudly and panicked. Lucky for me, it didn't even get hairline scratch.
If I were to shatter the back of my N4, I would try to keep it just because, but I know myself too well. Given a week or two I'd order another back and repair it myself. Especially since there are so many guides on here, and elsewhere, that give step-by-step instructions on how to take the phone apart and replace parts. Most are written by people that did it themselves, too so they point out what to look for, where to be super careful, etc. If the front got more than hairline scratches, I would replace it immediately. I would stare at the scratch anytime I looked at my phone and would go insane if I didn't.

"Son, I noticed your screen is cracked. Are you using drugs?"

True that. I'm waiting for replacement parts for the white nexus to start becoming mainstream. That way I can just switch between the black, or white nexus 4 since that is the only difference with the phone is the back housing.

I worry about the youth sometimes...

Crack in my $550 Nexus 4?? Oh no my friend, I won't allow it... I'm waiting for the moment Rhino Shield or Sir Lancelot is able to meet production demand and will order screen protector from them to replace my current one. It's better to be safe than sorry

Have to say I'm with both camps. If I cracked it I'd be pissed off but at the same time as the phone cheap in comparison to other handsets I wouldn't be in a rush to repair it as I need it every day. If I could use another phone then I'd get it repaired (or do it myself).
It was only £289 to be honest...a £500+ phone would be a different story! I'm so anal about my phone I wouldn't break it in the first place, though!
Flip side, my best mate (who earns probably double what I do) has destroyed his iPhone but can't be bothered getting it fixed as it still works...

G2 At&t Quick Window case?

Does anyone know where I can purchase this case? I've tried every AT&T in my area and in the Seattle area and I cannot find anyone with this case in stock for purchase.

I have been looking with no luck. If you find one. Please let me know where.

I will call at&t directly after I cancel my Verizon order for the wrong case. I'll let you know what happens.....
I am on the phone with AT&T and they can NOT find this case in their system/inventory....it's so annoying. If we had Verizon here in Anchorage, I would take back this phone and go with the Verizon variant. I spoke with an AT&T rep who is calling all the stores within a hundred miles to see if she can locate one for me. When she calls me back, I will update this post.

Try some T Mobile Stores as well, I know they give one for free maybe they have some in stock early before the phone release.

I just searched all over google search and NOTHING!!! Sucks cus i always have a case and screen protector literally the instant i take my device out the box. When i saw this case i fell in love, perfect for me at the gym with that little window music player. Just tap tap and change track, lol! Only place i've found this sold is on ebay in S. Korea for $79.99, not worth half that price imo for what the case is actually made out of. Costs probably $5 to make this damn case and sells for $79.99, yeah no deal!

A bit off topic, but while the Verizon rep was trying to figure out what the G2 even was, I tried on this case in the store and was severely disappointed in how cheap it felt.
My main issues are that nothing holds the flap closed so it gets caught on my pocket pulling it in and out and the hinge is the cheapest parts of the entire case, so it "shifts" on the phone. I can't explain it much better than that, but the window cover just sort of "flaps around."
Just thought I would share so you don't loose too much sleep trying to track it down.

Best buy now shows the window case online but its not available anywhere yet. Hopefully this means they are expecting some because I have been looking since purchase also

Just ordered it from Best Buy!!!
It was my understanding that LG wasn't releasing this case the same time the phone was released... Hence why everyone is having such problems finding it.
Best Buy said it wasn't available in any stores yet, but I did just order it from online, and they say it will ship tomorrow... So, I think that is your best best. The only have the black color available though, but they do have it for all the carriers, including VZW .

Anyone try the aftermarket quickwindow case linked below by Coverbot? I may....also doubles as a stand....hmmmmm
http://www.amazon.com/CoverBot-Quic...d=1381338554&sr=8-2&keywords=quickwindow+case

just picked one up from t mobile. taking it back doesnt add 50 bucks worth of protection or features

T mobile sent me one free with my phone. I strongly advise against using this case without a screen protector.
The metal banding around the inside of the window scratched my screen. Granted the scratch is barely visible and it takes some effort to see but I imagine it would only get worse from there so I stopped using it. Anyone want mine?

Thanks for this information. This case is not going to be for me. I'll try to sell mine for a few bucks mine when Sprint ships the G2.

T mobile sent me one free with my phone. I strongly advise against using this case without a screen protector.
The metal banding around the inside of the window scratched my screen. Granted the scratch is barely visible and it takes some effort to see but I imagine it would only get worse from there so I stopped using it. Anyone want mine?

Unfortunately I must agree :/
I've been using this case for two weeks now and noticed today that my screen is scratched. And the scratches are visible :/
I wrote to LG about that and I'm waiting for the answer.
Thats how my screen looks:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

Wow, that looks bad, I am surprised noone followed up to this. What did LG say, if they responded at all?

Unfortunately they haven't. I am sick and tired of waiting, so on Monday I will return the phone and the case to my mobile operator with a reclamation.

Hey Clownzer,
If you still have the white cover could I possibly have it? Thanks
