Nice Leather Case

Hi I found this one on ebay and was thinking about buying this instead of waiting for the original samsung ware.
What do you thing?
http://cgi.ebay.de/ZENUS-LEATHER-CA...429511?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2eb0f65607

It looks GREAT! I was looking for a case with a strap too
Go for it!
2 other choices to think about ( lower priced ones without straps )

I bought that one from Zenus. Waiting for it to show up here !

I just got my dk grey/ylw zenus case in. Great quality. The pics on their website are spot on.

Where are you located and how long did it take for you to get the zenus case? Was there a tracking number and where did you order from?

I did the faster shipping option to get tracking ($26 US), and I placed the order on the official website (www.zenuscase.com). The order was placed very late on Tuesday evening (Nov 2), the order was processed/shipped on Wednesday/Thursday, and I recieved the package on Friday afternoon in central US. The tracking showed every detailed step of the process, even that it was momentarily held at customs in Chicago. Kinda unbelievable that it flew around the world and made it into my hands so quickly!
I don't think the cheaper shipment option includes tracking but I could be mistaken.

Be careful -- photos for this one do not show it has rear-facing camera opening -- I am returning one I purchased only to discover it has not provision for the rear-facing camera.

I just received the cheap silicon skin I ordered for my Galaxy Tab. It's perfect for my usage pattern, but I can see that the tight-fitting won't be tight enough for some users (the rubbery edges are soft enough to slip off the tablet). I like it because it doesn't increase the dimensions of the tablet, it protects the plastic case in the unfortunate event of a (short) fall, and it offers more grip than the white plastic material at the back of the Tab (which is good for when resting the Tab near the edge of a table, or simply when holding the Tab with one hand).

I have bought the official notebook/stand case from Samsung:

So far I'm happy with it!

I was waiting for the original case... but after seeing shots and the quality of the case, I think the Zenus cases are of MUCH better quality and looks. D3O technology is interesting though....

Well the Zenus case is not exactly in the same price tag... You can get 2 official cases for the price of one Zenus case!
Still, the original case is made of genuine leather and d30 so I don't know why you doubt the quality? Plus I'm not too fond of the black/orange color of the Zenus... But I have to admit it looks nicely finished, although probably not as secure as the original one (lack of d30)...

I can confirm that there is indeed a hole for the rear camera and LED flash on the zenus color edge.
Why I chose the zenus case over the official samsung notebook/stand case:
-Less intrusive on the tablet's front.
-It was already available for order.
-Slightly better styling in my opinion.
Zenus does offer two other cases for the tab already, more conservative in design, and cheaper to compete with the official case.
If I hadn't found the zenus case, I would have been on board with the offical notebook/stand case as it seems very nice. One wouldn't go wrong choosing to go either way I believe.

Yeah, I guess they do cost more. I do like the different/bright colored accents so I guess I am sold on that. I like how the case is made though and the finishing.
Still waiting to see the official beige slip case. Zinio also has a really nice slip case which will be released Nov 11th...

Okay finally I brought the Zenus one, for a 700€ device I wont protect it with a 10¢ case like the silicons on ebay or some mid quallity like the samsung cases.
First I was waiting of the leather book release by samsung but at least I decided that its stupid because it cost just some bucks less and its only pressed leather (see edges) and it may only got collored plastic back, second thought was to wait at otterbox but according to their pricepolitik »bigger device» higher price this is out of buisiness.(ipad about 90$)
So I will make a review when its arrived.

Ordered the yellow and gray zenus case, it's simply beautiful, and I'm too impulsive to wait for vaja cases, Piel Frama and Piquadro to come out with their annunced galaxy case.
And b.t.w. The zenus one is very similar to the 200$ vaja case for the ipad
P.S.
I used the faster shipping option, and will review it as soon as it arrive
Sent from my Galaxy Tab

Oooo... I love Vaja cases... no wonder I was drawn to the zenus cases... I too paid for the more expensive shipping option. Can't wait to see mine... and yeah... grey and yellow rules!

My £500 Tab is nicely wrapped inside its soft rubbery £4 silicon skin, with the advantage of the versatile orientation options not being compromised by a thick and heavy flappy cover on one side
Each to his own though, it really depends on the usage pattern (need for pocket-ability, risks of falls, etc.). I really like the looks of the leather covers, but personally they would compromise my experience of the touch tablet.

Just bought a case for $4.99 on ebay

Hey everyone. I just purchased this black case on ebay for 5 bucks. I'll leave a review once I receive it but here is the link.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300500743423&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_3183wt_907

It will be a while before you get it since it is from Hong Kong, so please don't forget about the review in 2 to 3 weeks when you finally get it! Especially curious since the last picture is a Nokia phone.

I bought one from a usa seller should get this week.

I think that last picture is the same for every style phone. I found a thread on XDA about the same case for the N1 and it had very good reviews. But I'll be sure to follow up with my review and photos.

Any update on this case? Does it provide enough protection?

Still waiting on delivery. Supposed to get it by the 27th. Will post photos and give a review.

I got my case. I like the case a lot. It looks great how the glossy finish matches the dell perfectly. The case is bendable and offers a very snug fit on the streak. The only thing that should work better is the button pressing needs to be pressed with some force.

REVIEW!
Hey everyone! Just got my case in today that I ordered on ebay from seller dcmugen88. I purchased the "JET BLACK Epik Case TPU Jacket+anti Dell Streak Mini 5".
I ordered the case on December 12 for $4.99 and received it today. Free Shipping is included but the estimated shipping time was between 3 and 4 weeks. I was able to expedite the shipping for an additional $1.94 and delivery was estimated between Dec. 20th and Dec. 27th. So all in all, I paid $6.93 for the case and it took 12 days to receive. The seller is shipping from Hong Kong and I received it via USPS.
My first impression of the case upon opening was excellent. Here's a shot of the case in it's packaging.
Included with the case is a clear screen protector. This is a nice throw in...especially for $4.99. I don't currently have a screen protector on my streak, and I'm not sure that I'll apply this one. Since the screen is made from Gorilla Glass, it should be able to withstand normal wear and tear. I'm pretty easy on my gadgets as well...so I have that going for me =) But the screen protector looks to be your average mill. It's not the rubbery kind like the invisibleSHIELD made by ZAGG (which I had on my captivate and hated!).
Free screen protector
Back to the case. The case is very sleek and thin. It's not much deeper than the streak itself. Here are a few photos without the phone in the case from different angles.
This is a form fitting case. I previously had a vinyl skin from Skinit. So when trying to put the case on, it was catching on the edge on the skin. I decided then and there to take the skin completely off and I'm glad I did. The case and phone together look NICE! It's the perfect combination with the black glossy case and large glossy screen. I forgot how good the phone looked with the full screen in all it's glory.
Front screen shot
Rear shot
The functionality with the case on the streak is pretty good. You don't have access to the buttons on the side/top (depends on how you hold it). It definitely takes some extra pressure to control the volume and to press the wake/power button. This isn't a downfall though. I actually like having the buttons covered. It makes me feel like I won't press them inadvertently. There is a cutout for the 1/8 inch headphone jack for easy access.
You have full access to the PDMI port on the bottom/side of the phone. There is no plug in that covers the opening like in the otterbox cases.
Side view
The back of the case has a opening for the speaker, but there isn't one for the dell logo. I consider this a good thing since there is less chance to get debris/trash in the phone which could potentially scratch it. There is a cut out for the camera and dual LED flash as well.
OVERALL:
This is a great case! You can not beat the cost at roughly 5 bucks. I saw in earlier in the thread that some XDA members were buying their cases in the States, so you might find a better deal elsewhere (maybe somebody can post a link?).
My concern with cases in general is that they will be too bulky. This case is the opposite of that. I notice virtually no difference in the feel of the phone w/ the case on in my pocket. It does feel a little more substantial in the hand...but I think that's good. Having the phone with only a skin on it made me feel like I needed to handle it with kid gloves. That's not the case anymore (pun not intended).
There are many other colors available on the sellers ebay store. He also offers different deals. 5 for $15. 2 for $7. That kind of thing.
My sister and her husband just ordered the red unlocked streaks of dell.com and are due to receive them in January. They just ordered their clear cases tonight.
Okay...that's all I have. I hope this helped everybody and feel free to pm me or post in this thread.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Got mine today too. It is nice for the price.

I to have bought this case in jetblack. Love it. If you can wait it out from hong kong, the $5 price is a really good steal! Fits perfect!
But I will suggest. Put 2 pieces of clear tape in the inside of it where the Dell Logo sits at on the back where the battery cover is. If not, give it some time. It will eventually pull the ring off of the Dell Logo. When I noticed, I put the Ring back on the battery cover, and put the pieces of tape in on the case itself. Works fine!

Ordered mine last night

This case is by far the best looking case for the dell streak. It might not offer the protection like a otterbox but it defintely looks great.

I remember emailing dcmugen88 ages ago to make a case for the Streak, he said that it wasnt possible at the time but good to see its been made.

I placed my order today for my red streak. Thanks for posting this thread!

I got the same black shiny case. I don't like it at all. I wanted a rubber gel case like the hd2 comes with, so i can put it on and take it off easily. The details say rubber gel, but its more like soft plastic and its tough to get it on and off because the corners are to tough to fold back. I only need to use a case in certain situations, so this is garbage to me. Let me know if anyone finds one that is real soft gel like the hd2 came with.

I had a case made from the same material for a Nokia e71 - it was great. All the benefits of a silicone case without the lint collecting or pocket clinging.
I had hoped to get on for my streak but I couldn't find anything and finally dropped the money for the Otterbox Commuter. I've very impressed with the Otterbox, but I think I would have been just as happy with this.

best case w/ stand that doesn't cover bezel?

I am looking for a case which doesn't cover the bezel and has a stand. I have two ten-one flings for gaming, and I want to be able to use them without removing from the case. any suggestions?
I was hoping speck would make a fit folio for the nexus 7.

I have THIS one waiting until something better comes along. Just covers the 4 corners and a magnetic closure (though probably doesn't act as a "smart" case). Decent for the cost, especially if you have Prime.

I need a case for a Thursday trip and this one is on my short list. Can you tell me a little more about what you like/don't like, I'd really appreciate it.

Since my N7 won't be here until tomorrow I can't comment on fit, but it seems like a decent case for the price. Obviously not real leather, it does look to be amply padded for protection. The slots for adjusting the stand are shorter than the width of the flap that is supposed to fit in, but with the weight of the tablet should still provide enough to hold it in place. The magnetic closure is nice, better than an elastic band to hold it closed unless you drop it. Like I said, nothing special, but it'll work until some nicer cases are available.

I received that same case today. It will do, it's not as nice as the Blurex one I have for my Fire, but it's okay.
Negatives is it has a bigger flap then the blurex. I like a simple book style. But worse is the top corner strap covers the power switch making it difficult to use. I also just noticed the N7 sticks out about 1/8 inch from the bottom.
I can't wait until the magnetic bluerex shows up, ideally with Prime shipping.

Damn that's nice as F lol

i pre-ordered the crowncase since july!!! but the pre-release date have been pushed back from july to aug.. now sept.. got an email from them saying that the "C" logo on the front is stamped backwards, and the front flap puts thetablet to sleep when folded behind the device... so i'm guessing they are fixing the problem yet pushing the pre-release date further? i want that case already!!! i love how it looks and how slim it is.. anything else similiar?
i'm currently using this http://www.amazon.com/CaseCrown-Sta...459337&sr=1-4&keywords=casecrown+bold+nexus+7 LOVING IT!! it's slim and nice.. but want something without the bezel

Can't post links yet, but google or go to amazon and search "EXOTEK Premium Slim-Fit Folio Cover Case With Multi-Angle Stand For Google Nexus 7 Tablet (With Automatic Sleep/Wake Function) (Black)" it's 6.99 with 4.99 shipping, unless you have prime,

I order from eBay for less than $10, US seller:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/221095819899...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3100wt_978
It comes in different colours, it says "Smart Cover" so I would assume a sleep magnet, but even if it doesn't have, it's still not a deal breaker.

Poetic Slimline Case Review *NEW* *PICTURES*

This is a review for the Poetic Slimline Case for our Nexus 7.
I've been using this case for a little over a month now, and thought I should fill you guys in. Until now, there are mostly only those hideous, ghetto leather cases that cover up the bezel of the Nexus 7. The Nexus 7 is such a beautiful device that we ought to show off all of it aspects. The case is thin, it adds minimal bulk and is still easy to hold in one hand. It IS a smartcover, meaning there's a little magnet in the flap that power's the screen on/off when you open or close it. And in the end what really matters is that the case really looks good on the Nexus 7. If you don't care about pictures then here is the rundown: smartcover, 2 viewing angles, durable, slim, and completely worth the $20 price!
Poetic said:
The Slimline by Poetic™ for the Google Nexus 7 offers a sturdy folder design providing protection to the screen and the back of the device. The microfiber interior lining offers scratch and dust protection as well as anti-slip protection when rolling back the cover in multiple view positions.

The Google Nexus 7 charging port, buttons, and speakers are exposed for easy access while being protected by the Slimline case.

NOT Leather (it's made of PU which imitates the look of leather but feels much closer to what the back of the Nexus 7 feels like)
Recessed (not cut outs) buttons, this allows for much easier access to the vital buttons.
Cutouts for both mic's, headphone jack, microUSB port and Speakers (seen above)

Pricing and Additional Pictures:

Thank you very much for this detailed review. I'm seriously contemplating purchasing this now.
Edit: I ordered the case from UK Amazon.

I have a brand new spare one of these for sale to UK members for £12 delivered. I personally use one myself but just have a spare. PM me if you're interested.

God I want this. I don't like the case I have for mine at all

It came up when I searched for android decal on Amazon.
Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0067AHZAK/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00
They come in a few more colors, but you'll have to look around for them.

+1 on this, I got a cheap "slim" ebay case for now, but the poetic one looks like the case I've been looking for a while now.

+2; need / want this as the no-name case I had from DX.com was not up to what I expected (check my review with pics, it's the "Lychee Pattern... bla bla" case review).

Looks fantastic. Appreciate the review and the useful images. Mine is currently on its way to my door! So happy that the revised version folds back flush with the back.

Build quality is pretty good on this case! The flap is very Apple-esque in terms of build quality.

Well, many people appear to think the opposite concerning the build quality ... even for the third rev. of the case, see this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792355
They are large concern about the poor build quality and the fact that this case deteriorate fast ... pictures on the amazon webpage speak by themselves ...

From what I can tell there are bound to be some who are harder on cases than others. I am not saying that this is necessarily the reason for the issues some have seen. Poetic seems to be doing a good job of improving their product and listening to their customers. It also has a 3 year warranty, so if something does happen then it will be replaced. I think that shows you a company that will stand behind their products.

Can this case be used and have a screen protector? The Nexus 7 seems to be a fingerprint magnet.

I've been using the original case, that's without any revisions, for about a month. No signs of wear and tear, and this was the same case with the flap that wouldn't fold all the way back! I had no problems with it, since Poetic promised to have it fixed shortly after I received it, WITHOUT any complaint from me at all. The company stands behind their product. And should something go wrong with the case, it's under warranty for 3 years!! I'm sure none of us will even hold on to our Nexi for 3 full years
As for the screen protector, YES! If you look closely, I have a xoskins screen protector on it. If you can't see it in any of the pictures, then the screen protector is just that good! I've always been happy with xoskins products. They don't brown and yellow after use like Zaggs, and there is virtually no orange peel either. The only reason I opted to put a screen protector on the N7 was because of the fingerprints, and the xoskins screen protector really does a good job at keeping those fingerprints at bay.
EDIT: Just realized you can't really see a screen protector actually on the device in the pictures... You'll just have to take my word for it, it's really that good!

Fair enough ... and thanks for the review!

The Search for the Nexus 10 Sleeve/Case/Cover of my Deams (and possibly others')

First off, let me describe what I look for in a case/ sleeve.
First and foremost, I want a premium look and feel, preferably leather, but other materials will do. I paid a large sum of money for this gorgeous tablet, and I would like to put it in a gorgeous case. In my opinion, getting a slim tablet and putting it in a tank like case defeats the purpose of the tablet being thin in the first place.
Typically the premium factor is limited to sleeves. I have not found any high end leather CASES, they're all either pleather, or low quality leather, and look poor on the tablet. Also most leather cases that double as stands look weird, or have too much excess material to secure the tablet to the 'board' of sorts on the back of the case.
Shown here:
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimbook-Leather-Function-Warranty/dp/B00A6X4048/ref=pd_sim_pc_2
As far as cases go, cases that have a cover, but then fold back to form a weird angled stand like so: http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Google-Elastic-Included-Warranty/dp/B009RZPH1G/ref=pd_sim_pc_10
are just weird in my opinion, they look odd, and I don't want that much snapping on and off the corners of the tablet, it'll create ware.
However Sleeves often do not have a clasp, or a securing mechanism, but as far as I can tell, friction will do it's job of keeping the tablet in the case, especially due to the Nexus 10's grippy back.
So far I have found two cases that employ both form, function, and a premium feel.
A sleeve: http://www.dodocase.com/products/durables-sleeve-for-nexus-10
(Although it is neither made of leather, nor does it have a clasp)
and a Case: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimbook-Leather-Function-Warranty/dp/B00A6X4048/ref=pd_sim_pc_2
(Also not leather, but the leather texture will do if realistic enough. At least I don't think it's leather)
I do have one question about the poetic slimbook case I just linked to, would the cover of that stay attached and covered if held upside down via a magnet of sorts, or is it rather flimsy, and just flops around, as a slave to gravity?
To close, I would like to ask a few questions.
Does anyone else have a want for a premium case or sleeve, or am I the only one?
Has anyone found cases or sleeves that are similar to the ones mentioned above (the last two, not the first two)?
Any word on that smart cover that the nexus 10 was unveild with, shown in the video from The Verge Hands on and such.
Also I'd like to mention that I'm really interested in buying a product from http://www.vajacases.com/ however they conveniently do not have a nexus 10 case.

You hit the nail on the head. My thoughts on cases are basically yours. And the Vajacases are really awesome but in my opinion too much premium and therefore too expensive. I think i'll wait for the verge-video-case which hopefully seamlessly attaches to the N10. It can't be too expensive as well. I'm curious when we'll get more information on the same.

I ordered the Slimline, and got this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A6X3ZM6/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00 in the meantime. I it arrived yesterday. I'm going to return the Poetic that's in the OP when it arrives. This one is nice.

If you want to send it up to me in Canada I will pay you full price. We can't get the poetic cases up here. Which one were you going to return?

There's a thread now in accessories with a video and pics of the poetic slimbook a guy just received. I also ordered one as there's only 3 left in stock and it looks good enough for me.

I cant wait for the slimline case as I love it on my nexus 7

SF bags offer some good looking high quality sleeves.
http://www.sfbags.com/products/nexus-cases/nexus-slipcase.php. In this slipcase video, it shows kindle fire slipcase and it shows that even when turned upside down, the kindle won't come out.
they have plenty other choices but it's pre-order for now and start to ship at 11 december. The prices are kinda steep but since you don't care much about price, might as well try it out. Personally, i love the citysleek design.

I've looked through and seen all of the SF bags for the Nexus 10 a while ago, the suede jacket (http://www.sfbags.com/products/nexus-cases/nexus-suedejacket.php) seems to be to my liking. I personally would want something with a little more protection (I don't know how, but I feel like leather would protect it more than suede, despite them being virtually the same material).
The city slicker one is cool, and so is the out back one, but as far as the city slicker and other multipurpose/ travel/ compartmentalized cases go, I already have a North Face Surge bag, so I don't need any more space. I'm looking for a case or sleeve that would protect my tablet INSIDE of my other back, as well as protect it from day to day carrying outside of my backpack, such as if I'm driving to a friend's house, I'd want to case it and throw it on my passenger seat.
I know the previous sentance is a run on, but it's 4:30 am where I am, and I don't care about run on-s and grammar at the moment.

Looks like they'll have one for the Nexus 10 eventually.

How about the SFBags Nexus 10 Smart Case? It looks to be right up your alley.

The Nexus 7 case was well reviewed. I'd like a quality case too, but $100+ makes me think twice considering the life of gadgets.
Thanks for the heads up. Looks like it's pre order now and becoming available at the end of the month.

Here is the sfbags.com sleeve with optional pocket for the Nexus 10. Ordered it Friday morning and paid for the FedEx ground delivery and was upgraded to the priority delivery for free and received it Monday morning. This thing is nicely made and it was exactly what I was looking for, tablet goes in snug and has 3 anchors to help to you insert it and remove it from the sleeve. The mesh pocket is a extra feature and I use it to carry my freedompop hotspot and a stylus pen. I am hoping that when the oem cover is release, it will fit without a problem but its a very snug fit.
Only thing I would change would be added a cord at the end to fully enclose the device inside. I paid $32 shipped to me.

I've actually been looking at this case since it appears that the nexus 10 is pretty similar in size to the note 10.1, and this case seems to offer good protection.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nimbus-10-U...1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1355416000&sr=1-1
Anyone know anything about it or have any opinions?
EDIT: On closer inspection it seems the nexus 10 is too wide. Odd, I thought there was a different version of the case for bigger tablets but I can't seem to find it.

I just received an Ultimate Sleeve case from SFBags for my Nexus 10. This is one nice sleeve. It's very sturdy, well-made, and fits the Nexus 10 perfectly. I bought it to protect the tablet while traveling and I think this sleeve will do a far better job than the Case Logic case I bought and returned. I don't care to test it, but the SFBags sleeve has thick padding and the plastic insert sewn into one side should prevent damage for anything short of a drop-kick. I definitely feel a lot better about throwing my Nexus 10 into a backpack or suitcase. It's not cheap but it's worth it if you're looking for quality protection.

SF Bags Slip Case
Received mine yesterday. It is $36 (shipping included) well spent. It fits tight and looks good.

I got the CitySlicker from SF Bags. It's really a quality sleeve/bag. :good: I imagine it will be too big for some, but it's great having space for headphones and a cleaning cloth with the tablet at all times. Also looks and feels high end.
For the price, I sure hope it fits whatever I end up replacing the Nexus 10 with down the road!

I second SF bags. I have their slip case and couldn't be happier.
