So I noticed there's been a lot of talk regarding the Blurex Magyc Folio case (amzn.c0m/B008D2Q8RG) but I am amazed no one has picked up on Blurex's other case for the Nexus 7, the Ultraslim model (amzn.c0m/B008D2POAS).
Based on the pictures, the case looks MUCH slimmer than most of the other cases here. It also doesn't cover the bezel, much like the Moko and Poetic. Furthermore, it has the on/off magnetic sleep feature. And guess what? The case is only $5!!
Seriously, am I missing something? Why has there been little to no talk of this case? And since it is sold by Prestige Milano, the official Blurex reseller, the possibly of it being fake is out of the question...This seems like the real deal.
That's because my Nexus 7 hasn't arrive for me to use this case. I got this. It's so cool looking. I have the Blurex Magyc Folio Case. And I'm mad you found this for $5. I spent $10. And yes I'm complaining about not being able to save $5. LoL!!
Glad to hear I'm not the only one! So could I ask, did you also buy yours from Prestige Milano and can you post any pics by any chance
Blurex has a really nice customer support and they ship to Canada for 6 bucks!

Anyone else bought/received this item? And still no answer as to why this case has been ignored (which is evident by the lack of responses in this thread). Am I missing something? Is there a catch to this case?
First of all, you use the same link twice for the Amazon item (the incorrect one for the case you're talking about). Maybe correct that so folks know what you're talking about. Secondly, that case is talked about plenty, though from different value added resellers. With that said, $5 + $2.60 shipping each is pretty darn good when compared against the wholesale price direct from China.

Thanks for pointing that out! I've edited my first post to include the correct link.
This is pretty much the same case I have for my Fire. It's a great case for the money. However, when I search for B008D2POAS, I see the case for $5. When I click on it the price goes to $9.99. LOL - I did that twice to verify, now I just did it again and it shows $9.99. Sometimes shopping at Amazon is like day trading
Anyway, with the shipping it puts the case into the same range as the other Bluerex case and some others.
I ordered this one which is pretty much the same exact case when it was $5 last week:

Do you mean mention like in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751662
Both Blurex, all three threads I mean, mention the folio and the one you linked is the "newer" version. I was sent an email from Alex telling me they had an issue with the 600 in stock units. The wake magnet is too strong and would sleep the unit if you folded the "stand" back a lot..
The one you mention was the exact one I asked Blurex about in particular, he had to set it to no stock, until they fixed them. They were $5.00 originally (last week) - Guessing they fixed them, and raised the price to about double for the fix..
It's very similar to these;

Wow, that's weird...seems like it was as an error in the first place. $5 is too good to be true. So is your Kindle case also Blurex, can you comment on the quality of the case?

Yh, I noticed this case too, however, I was put off by the fact that it is only available for preorder. Do you know when it's to be released and also whether it holds any particular advantage over the Blurex case? Based on the pic, they both look the case...
I have one like this coming in today and will give it a shot with my N7. Have a different case on order as well, but it won't ship until Aug 20th so I need something temporary until then.

I will end up giving it to one of the family members that get a Nexus down the road most likely. This one was $6.98 shipped.
There really isn't much special about that case IMO, looks like most of the others. I ordered the Moko, which doesn't cover the bezel and it has landscap and portrait modes with the Sleep/Wake function.

Just picked up the Blurex Ultraslim model. You're right in that it looks much slimmer than the Blurex Magyc Folio. Also, I like that the Ultraslim model doesn't cover the bezel which I think looks really tacky.
Not impressed. While it is slimmer than the case that fellow employee got, this does not include the magic magnet, and it covers the bezel edges making it more difficult to use.
Note that it never said it included the magnet, and I never assumed it would, but since the case makes reaching the buttons including power button harder, the lack of such a feature makes using it much harder. Also, it is hard to use the unit near the edges of the screen because the case is in the way.
My wife has informed me she is getting a Nexus 7 now (guess who is buying it), she can use this when she gets it. In the meantime, I will stick with the sleeve that I've been using.

Hi all,
I am new on xda dev in terms of posting, but I have been readings forums around for a while. I too am looking for a case for my nexus 7 in the UK and am disappointed by the current offering (I do realise the tablet is still pretty new and more cases will come in the future). I did come across one today and it actually doesn't look too bad, seeing it seems pretty thin and well, cheap, too. I am new, so I am not allowed to post links yet, but if you go on amazon UK and search for TeckNet Nexus 7, you will see it. It kinda looks like an Apple smart case (which would be perfect for the nexus, tbh)
does anyone happen to have it or want to share some opinion about it? For the 5 pounds, I give it a try. They do have them in different colours, too.
It's pretty much the same generic folding lid fake leather case a dozen other sellers are offering, good price though and it would do till something better comes along.

yeah, that's what I am thinking I know the fake leather blows and all, but oh well, I am carrying my nexus in one of those bags that came with leather shoes so it might be a nice step up :laugh:
How's the case? I have been looking for a long time and there still doesn't seem to be anything perfect yet. At £6 this seems like a good stop gap. The only thing that is putting me off is the fact that it covers the bezel. Is this annoying when using the tablet?
Sorry mate, I ended up getting the LuvTab case (a pretty good one, btw), so can't tell you about this one.
In that case I have just put an order in. I will let you know what it's like when it arrives. Hopefully it will be as slim as it looks in the images.

Yeah, do post an impression on the case For 6 pounds you surely can't go wrong, if in real life it looks the way it does online! On the sidenote, have you considered this one?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ultra-Sli...ches&var=&hash=item3a79167146#ht_11291wt_1115
For the price it doesn't look bad, it's thin and does not cover the bezel.
I bought it for 6.99$ with free two day prime shipping, off of amazon here
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008Y1DHJ8/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
and here is a different model for only 3.99$ USD.

It looks just like the poetic, what do you guys think? Anybody else get this case yet?
The Leather Flip Case is identitical to the Blurex ultraslim case and Moko, Iblason and Yomee all have it as well. It is well reviewed. I am going to pull the trigger on it due to the price

Yeah, I have prime as well. Originally I was only going to do the free trail but i decided to shell out the $$ for it, its a good service. I like Amazon's ecosystem, I just dont want to be locked into it lol.
I almost bought this. I however the material seems very cheap compared to blurex. But almost twice the price.

Its highly likely that this same case from Blurex, Moko, IBlason, Yomee, Khomo have all come from the same chinese vendor.
None of these companies makes the cases themselves. They buy from China and then resell, its a pretty solid business deal. Almost anyone can start a company in the US peddling Chinese goods, just go to http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/612200809/for_google_nexus_7_case.html

Just got my case in. Im very satisfied with it, the fake leather and microfiber don't feel cheap at all, it feels nice and doesnt add any bulk to the case. I recommend it, great value for the price.
I like this $7.00 case a lot more than I did my $50 Portenzo case.
Seriously guys, the 3.99$ case, is awesome too, doesn't even remotely feel cheap, these better be sold out by the time I look at them tomorrow, BUY THEM!

Interesting. The Amazon listing says leather in the title, but refers to ballistic nylon and 3do in the description. If it's really the original leather and 3do case for $5 that's great. Anyone know? Also... How do the dimensions line up with the N10?
EDIT: see post #7 in this thread -- I got the case and was extremely disappointed. Not worth $5.
I do t have this one... But I do have one of their cases for my iPhone 3gs and it is pretty indestructible.

Yes -- I remember seeing the demo videos for Tech21 and d30. Very impressive stuff. This appears to be a great price. From what I can see, it looks like the long dimension would be about 1/2" longer than the Nexus 10, and the narrow dimension about 1" greater than the narrow dimension of the Nexus 10. The case is definitely a bit oversized. However if it's leather, with two layers of d30, it would be a pretty fantastic case / sleeve for $5...
Edit: I searched some more, and it appears that the same d3o case is being sold on different sites anywhere from $5 to $45. For $5 including shipping, I figured it's worth a risk. If it's leather with d3o that will be a fantastic deal. If it's ballistic nylon with d3o then it's still a good deal. Already shipped. I should have it next week. Really curious!

Ugh... Just received it. Very disappointing. I really like Tech21 cases and D3O, but this case seems like a poor imitation. There's orange fabric inside, but it's loose and wrinkled, and it seems that there's no D3O under the fabric. Bad production run? Fake? Defective D3O that dried up? No idea, but I recommend against getting this. Also: despite the measurements, the Nexus 10 does NOT fit in this case.
Total waste.

Oh well, I guess no need to look forward to receiving the package I ordered one Friday. Thought it would be a nice sleeve since I plan on keeping it naked in the house, guess I'll get one from SFbag.

Yes - quite a variety on Etsy and some of them look very nice. Comparing with SFBags and Waterfield Designs -- if I were opting for a high quality sleeve, I'd lean toward the Waterfield Designs products from SFBags for a couple of reasons:
- The sleeves are explicitly made and sized precisely for the Nexus 10. Most of the sleeves on Etsy state that they are for "Nexus 10 or iPad", which leads me to believe that they're either wrong, or the sleeves are only an approximate fit. The Waterfield sleeves are designed specifically to be just snug enough so the tablet doesn't fall out, but not so tight that the N10 is difficult to remove -- they illustrate this well in the videos on the website.
- The Waterfield sleeves include dense padding, along with a rigid screen protector under the padding and fabric. It doesn't come in contact with your Nexus 10, but it helps protect the screen from shock when it's in the case. Seems like better protection to me.
After that, it comes down to personal preference, design, materials and price.

The more closely I looked at what I received, the clearer it was that the vendor misrepresented what he was selling. I was annoyed enough to write a review, post some pictures at Amazon, and also file a complaint. Interestingly enough, the seller contacted me within 48 hours and put in for a full refund (all of $5), which Amazon confirmed the next day.
Here's a link to the review I posted on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Prot...dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
In contrast, I also purchased the Moko Slim Fit multi-angle case -- NOT the "PU Leather" version for $6, but I found they sell a true/genuine leather version for $21 -- with zero cost for 2 day shipping if you have Prime (I love Prime!). Anyway - the Moko genuine leather case is excellent. Fits perfectly, doesn't obstruct anything, very nicely finished and looks great. Ieave it on day and night -- and love it.Here's a link to the product:

Hi,
Hi, I use my Noreve leather case I bought for my TF700.
It fits a little tight because the dimensions of the TF701 differ just 1 or 2 millimeters but it fits.
And it is the nicest very compact high value case there is IMHO.
edit: Noreve will come within 14 days with an adapted case for the 701.
Looks pretty nice, quite expensive as well, though.
I bought this one http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B005HI4FPG/ which is much cheaper and alright for me. I think you can't use the tablet that good when it's in the case, though.

I have that case for a few months now (TF700T version), and it fit perfectly on the TF701T. No ports, cameras, or anything is blocked. I have the one without the bezel swipe feature that you have in the Amazon link. You will like it. The leather is great quality and the stitching is well done.
Just posted this in the other case thread in the General section, probably someone will merge them together!
I've ordered this one: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B007MTLWWW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Indeed, it is for the combo and fits perfectly.

Does anyone have any experience with this case? http://www.amazon.com/VanGoddy-Exec...TF8&colid=1FKU81IP6C0NQ&coliid=I3NB683DY1HL5T
I'd like to find a reasonably priced alternative that is available now leaving me the option to switch in the future if I'm not happy with it. I like this type of case. The caseen option looks like it is similar, but is twice the price.
Thanks,
Craig

I'd say give us a try . We have been developing cases for the Transformer series since the TF101, and we have come a long way to making our Perfecto Pro model. From our experience, you lose something on universal type cases or non-premium ones. Be it a camera port, speaker port, light sensor blocked etc. I know its expensive, but the material and labor cost is extremely high for this case.
PM if any other questions .

There should come a TransCover (http://www.asus.com/Tablet_Mobile_Accessories/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TransCover/#overview) that looks perfect for me! Hope I can get it in Switzerland soon...

Yes I'm holding out for this one too. No indication of when it goes on sale though.
Here some pictures of the Noreve case for the TF700 (I have it in black) made by another user (thanks for them).
The one for the TF701 is very slightly bigger due to the slightly thicker dock.
I will get mine tomorrow.
It is not cheap but it is very very well made (real high quality leather) and comes in a beautiful box.
Need a Hard Shell Case!
I have just gotten my TF701.
I love it! However, using it naked makes me nervous.
I went ahead and ordered the caseen perfecto for it, but I will be looking for a hard shell cover.
Something similar in construction style to the Trident Kraken or the Lifeproof cases for smartphones.
I doubt I will ever dock it, I didnt even order the dock. However, it will be carried along in and out of clients offices, in and out of my truck, and generally abused. The company iPad was in a lifeproof case, and survived all of that without a scratch.... I just hate iPads.
Are there any options out there for me? Because all I find at the moment are the portfolio style cases designed to work with the keyboards.
Without the keyboard, the TF701 is still just about the baddest Android tablet available.

+1 on all fronts.
I just received my Caseen, but am looking for something bombproof as well.

Moko cover for 700 works for 701 - with minor alterations
That Caseen is just way too expensive! Over $50 US after shipping and taxes. Insane. I'm currently using the Moko 360 Degree Roto Cover that I used with my TF700 for over a year. The 701 fits in there just fine, but since the buttons on the 701 are more toward the back of the device than on the 700 and the volume buttons are in a completely different place, I had to make a couple small snips in the leather with some scissors to get better access to the volume buttons and the microSD slot. It's still not ideal, but it works for me. Probably won't work for you if you're someone who uses the volume buttons very much - the volume buttons are still a bit of a tight squeeze up against the back of the cover. The snips really aren't noticeable unless you're looking for them. It's not an ideal situation but until more accessories made specifically for the 701 start showing up, this $20 solution is good enough for me. My only complaint about the cover is that the cutout that allows access to the charging port is not reinforced with thread and seems like it would be prone to fraying over time. Thankfully, my wife was able to fix that with a needle and some decent white thread so it looks just like the stitching around the rest of the cover and I'm not worried it's going to fray apart.
I just got this one, works great for when the tablet is out of the dock. I like this style of case more than the ones that cover the whole bezel.

Did You get this case for the 701, I'd like one as it fits my needs, taking the tab in my hands often.
But the website doesn't show the 701 yet.
EDIT: found it, it is the same as TF300.

Is this the same as http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Slim-fit...=1386169321&sr=8-2&keywords=moko+nexus+7+case except that it is matched to the 701? I had one of these for my 201 and liked it. Are all of the cutouts well matched? How long did it take to arrive?
Thanks for any information.
