I wanted to try a metal bumper, but I only buy cases without the antenna cutout. I have yet to find one to fit my needs.
This one looks really attractive though. Would love to see a review.

What do you mean by antenna cutout?

For the Japanese version of the Note 2 and other Asian country versions, their phones have an antenna in the upper right corner to allow for TV broadcasts. Asian manufacturers of cases add a cutout in the top right corner of their cases to accommodate this antenna. These cases look silly on phones that lack the antenna and expose that corner to fall damage unnecessarily. If you look closely at the case images you listed above, you will see the cutout, and in the final picture of your post, you can see the antenna angled for portrait viewing.
here is another image of the antenna I spoke of:

I want an antenna like that for wifi! weak wifi signal at work!:thumbdown:
Anyway the bumpers look good!

Nexus 7 Sleeve/Stand Review

Hey everyone,
Yesterday I received my sleeve/stand
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Faux-Leathe...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item3378898d52
I'm pretty happy about it and I think my search is done. The outside is padded pretty well. The only con is that the case is a bit stiff when you first receive it so it's a little bit hard to slip the Nexus 7 in and out. The stand functionality is also awesome; I don't need something bulky surrounding my device at all times. Here are some pics. Sorry about the bad quality.

Why'd it have to be velcro? This case would be perfect if not for that...
Anyways, thanks for the review... if the case I'm getting doesn't work out well, I'll consider going for one of these.
Is it possible to use the stand with the tablet at the lower angle for typing? From the pictures it looks like you can just flip the case over but I don't know if it will hold.
Another question, you say it's a tight fit at first but do you think there would be room for a N7 with a TPU case to fit into it?
Thanks interesting case. Does it feel cheap?

+1 Is there a low-angle setup, or just the one?
Also, how bulky is it? The ebay listing only mentions the interior dimensions, but is it going to be a huge bulky thing that I now carry around?
Thanks for the tip, this is the closest thing to a usable case that I've seen(other than the Flipsteady, which is exactly what I want but is too expensive). All I want, really, is a stand that's always with my Nexus.

Several cases available at http://www.dealextreme.com

Go to www.dealextreme.com or dx.com and they have several inexpensive cases for the Google Nexus 7; probably from the same sources as all those eBay sellers.
As an example I have bought, in the past, a soft TPU case for my S2 (at around three bucks! :silly and I preferred it to an Otterbox... But I believe it's a hit or miss; some other products are crappy.
I bought this (here) and I am waiting for delivery; I will post a review when I get it. Seems OK however.

Looks great. Doesn't look like the flap will stay closed though since there aren't any magnets on the outside rim.

Hmmm, true.
Maybe (hopefully) it's a 'friction' closure?
I could always put a fabric elastic around it I guess, kinda like in the moleskine note books ....
Edit: on some of the pictures, it almost looks like it has an elastic; when you look at the edge, on the cover that does not have the hole, it almost seems there are seams for an elastic, that has been put away for the picture?
any other color?

Not a fan of pink haha.
That pink one has an elastic strap closure, you can just see it in the enlarged pictures on the vendors site.
I like this pink one.

High res. pictures now up.
Is this a personal opinion review or a Company self advertisement post.. I do not see much about what you like and dislike about the case...
I bought this same type case back a few months ago . The device does not fit properly in the molded plastic. It also provides NO Protection if you drop it the device will slid out and likely be broken by the very plastic it sits in... Just my opinion Nice pics thou.
hummm

I don't know if you watched the video review or not(that's where my thoughts are), but I said that I didn't like the bulk of the case that is added with the two stoppers inside the front flap and that I personally find the added features more obtrusive than functional. Also, the Nexus 7 fits just fine in the plastic housing.
Sorry did not watch the video.. Maybe this is different then the one i have. It looks Identical just a different color.Mine is black....
I now have it in a Bob gear case. totally different type.
Thanks again Erica ..

Is This The Greatest Note 2 Case Ever?

I've seen and used a number of cases....
Ive seen flip up flip to the side...
I've seen light ones and heavy ones...
I've seen people get excited by cases that make the note 2 look like a tank....
But - Does anything beat this?
Durable
luxurious
Well fitted

Not real leather but just fantastic for the price. Functionwise it is similar with yours. BTW I was also looking for yours but I dont like the red stitching.

Very very cheap that is. Good deal.
I liked the orange stitching. It was slightly different.
It's a bit like the stitching on jeans
They both look nice but I don't like the minimum protection on any of the sides. My Zenus case covers all the sides more, although not completely.

True
90 % of drops will be on the corners or the face I reckon.
Advantage of the OP style is that there is limited bulk added on the side.

Newly purchased - Small slit at top?

I can't find information elsewhere on the internet, so I thought I would confirm here. I just purchased this phone and where the metal border meets the glass screen at the top, there is a very thin gap. It begins just before the decorative matte strip at the top. It became more noticeable (assuming dust is getting in) the more I've been talking on the phone.
Is this the speaker?
upload a photo of it, personally I don't recognise what you're describing.
I just peeled back my case enough to look, yes that seems to be the speaker opening.

You have to zoom in. The gap starts and ends where I posted the arrows. I can fit a folded post it inside it by about 1mm.
All I can assume is that this is the speaker location.
yes I have that too. I had never noticed it until you prompted me to look.
thinking about it, it would be weird if nothing was there.
nice colour choice BTW
