Thin cases like HP's touchpad folio?

Has anyone seen any cases like the folio case HP put out for the touchpad. I'm looking for something way thinner than the crap I've seen posted so far. This whole idea of plastic clips and thick leather is a bit silly to me.
Just looking for a silicone case that's thin, has a screen guard flap, has ability to be a stand, and hopefully a magnet built in for "smart" sensing.

I agree! Something simple and lightweight.

I ordered this item on Amazon on Sunday: i-Blason Auto Sleep / Wake Google Nexus 7 Inch Tablet PC Slim folio Case With Built in Stand Hard Back Cover 8GB 16GB (Black)
It looks like it will not ship until 8/3 though, so I'm still waiting for it.
The price is right and it looks like it's very thin.

Actually, to be honest, reading the reddit post advertising this exact case was what led me to make this post. That thing has clips and has thick leather, etc.All these cases I've seen so far are "mount into a frame" style or "slide into a pouch", etc. Something like the stock case, but with a tad better quality and standing features, would surely suffice.
That being said, this case you linked is actually one of the better "bad" cases that I've seen. It's not over the top with crazy stitching and really bulky, but it's still not really what I'm looking for at all. Something like this

Yep, that's the best one I've seen so far. I'm tempted to order, but with an August 20 ETA, I see no point at this time. I have a feeling something better or the same will come out by then.

Whoa.. this is the one! added to wish list. this is a winner. simple. thin. can be propped. smart cover actions.
nice find.
almost is just like the (unavailable) Asus Nexus 7 factory case... except WITH the smart actions..

Something like the Poetic Slimline, but better quality?

I really like the functionality of the Poetic Slimline case for my Nexus 7. The tri-fold cover, magnetic closure, light weight and thinness are great. What is not so great is the quality of the materials and construction.
Has anyone found a case of similar design and functionality, but of better quality? Real leather, better fit and finish? Anything better out there?

I am wondering the same thing. I am going to be getting a nexus 7 soon so I have been trying to pick out a case. I like everything about the poetic slimline except all that is holding me back is all the reviews talking about the poor build quality and it falling apart.
The Nillkin leather smart case is another one I'm looking at that's similar, here it is

I have the Poetic case and it serves it's purpose but once I bought the Speck FitFolio I was completely happy. It's worth the few extra bucks without a doubt.

I too have Poetic Slimline, and I have not liked the build quality from the first time I laid my eyes on it on Xmas day.
The Speck case looks a lot better, but I would prefer the magnetic latches of the Poetic over the manual latch of the Speck. Other than that, the Speck would be a no brainer.
The Moko also looks like it has a few straps that would anoy me.
I literally want a non-crappy built Poetic Slimline and I would be happy.

i say get the nillkin, exotek or MoKo.
(ive got the MoKo)

One interesting thing about the Moko, it looks like you might be able to slide it into a dock while leaving it in the case, but that would need tested. You would just let the flaps lay behind the dock if they would bent correctly without interfering.

I just ordered the Speck about an hour ago.

You really narrowed it down for him, why not throw in the speck while you're at it.
For serious, any reason you left that one out?

Moko looks good but is it worth the additioanl money over the Exotek? I might get that since it is so cheap.
They look exactly the same... am I missing something?

If you want cheap, from Amazon and with free Prime shipping may I suggest this $10 case. Seems just like the others to me. I have one and like it:

Can you do a video review of this?
I am very skeptical because the Poetic Slimline use external magnets on both sides of the case to keep the cover closed because if they only have magnets on the cover, it will be too strong and will turn off the device when the cover is flipped to the back. And if the magnets on the cover is just right, then I really doubt it will keep the cover closed which will be a problem because when it flaps around it will keep turning the screen on and off...
Otherwise this look exactly like the Poetic Slimline but even smaller. (Doesn't mean it is better quality though).
Really interested in a review of this.

So are there actually any covers that are not leather, but rubber exterior? Something like these: https://www.hammerheadcase.com/

I don't get all the complaints about the poetic quality. Had mine for 2 months and its still perfect.

Look at Devicewear's The Ridge, and the Speck FitFolio, or the Incipio Slim Kickstand Folio
I also backed out from ordering a poetic slimline case because of some of the quality issues shown in the customer uploaded images on Amazon. Glue issues, fraying, etc... I'd also recommend against the trifold cover design as it is definitely more prone to toppling over.
If you want something similar and maybe a bit better for typing and other such use, the nicest I've seen was the Incipio Slim Kickstand Folio, but it isn't the most available case around. The good news is, it's basically the same case as the Speck FitFolio or Devicewear's the Ridge.
Speck's a more widely known brand, but I saw a few FitFolios, in a couple of stores, showing wear along their corners while still on shelves. The vegan leather material seemed a bit like an eraser from the ones I felt. I also didn't care for the harbor blue color when it came to the poly-shell against the color of the device, especially since it doesn't fully cover the back of your N7. I also didn't care for the clip, not that it doesn't have some use.
I went with Devicewear's The Ridge option myself. It's very slim. It has full shell coverage for the back of the N7 with holes for the mics (wifi). I believe there are three color options available. The outside leather is a bit less soft than the FitFolio, and it uses a soft stap to stay closed instead of a dangling clip. The sleep function works when it's supposed to, and doesn't when it's not supposed to.. I felt like I was taking a slight chance with it because a lot of the reviews seemed fake, but so far its been a very good case.

Don't sell the Poetic Slimline short
Gotta be honest, been using the poetic slimline case for a couple of weeks now, and I must have got insanely lucky or something, becase I really dont have any complaints. Doesn't really add much heft to the device (I came from an HTC flyer, and even with the case this is slimmer and lighter than the flyer was bare) provides decent protection, doesn't get in my way, and (after trimming a few little threads off the cover with a razor knife) has continued to look awesome regardless of my poor treatment of it. I think cases are up to personal opinion in the end, but I for one will certainly not complain about the poetic. Just another opinion.

It's smart. It's the case I use. Pleather covered cheap metal (my guess, could be plastic) that grips the Nexus in 6 places, the corners and midpoint of each short side. You slip the tablet out of the 2 bottom most corners and then sit it one of the slots in the lid of the case to use it like a stand. Pretty much how all of this sort of case works. But no it's not as thin as a true smart cover lid. OTOH the lid has a lip that clips over the Nexus to keep it closed and is thicker offering more protection and even an elastic grip to hold the tablet in portrait orientation.

[Q] Nexus 7 Case

Hi guys. Well I just got my nexus 7 a few days ago. I've been looking through the forums but sadly all I see is leather cases. Can someone recommend a good non leather case for my nexus 7. Thanks !

Very few of them are actually leather. They are mostly "vegan leather" which I guess is the latest term for artificial leather (sigh, I'm old enough to remember Naugahide). But there are reviews on the Otterbox, Seidio, Treegloo and many other non-"leather " cases in this subforum. Did you even look through it?

I did look through some of them, really wasn't interested in the treegloo, but i guess i'll check out seidio.

I dont like using "Leather" to my case, since they tend to thread apart...
Use TPU material case, IMO they offer more protection, since its rubber and bouncy...
http://www.gadgets4geeks.com.au/product/google_nexus_7_case_x-line

What kinda case do you want? A book style case, a screen cover, plastic cover and edges, something else or a sleeve? we know what you dont want - a leather case but what do you want? once you figure that out we can move on to finding what you want or something similar.
Right now i have a case logic sleeve until my treegloo, if it ever, gets here. there are other book style cases if thats what your into, Portenzo, reauthored, and recently dodcase came out with a similar case - with the wood frame.

I'm really digging my Poetic case:
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimli...359146334&sr=8-1&keywords=poetic+case+nexus+7
Very low profile. Adds almost no bulk and the stand function works much better than I suspected.

Best Accessories for Nexus 10?

Hello,
I'm most definitely buying a Nexus 10 this weekend. What are the best accessories for it?
Most importantly I am looking for a dock/kickstand and a case. Can you people recommend any?
Thanks,
Crazysah

http://www.amazon.com/IPAD-ST-Universal-Tablet-Stand-Kindle/dp/B0045JNBNU is a pretty nice basic stand that works fine.

Any other recommended accessories out there?

The Moko Slim-Fit (note, NOT ultraslim) is a great case with the ability to act as a kickstand at multiple angles.

+1 for the Poetic Hardback. I have a smart cover and a silicon case, but keep going back to the Hardback.
I would also recommend getting a POGO cable. Some question the price/value, but at this point it is the only option and I have found it quite useful in terms of somewhat faster charging and less wear on the micro usb port.
If you use screen protectors, you can just leave the one on that it ships with unless you want an anti-glare protector.

Get the SGP screen protector. Absolutely beautiful.

I've heard a lot about the Moko Slim-Fit versus the Poetic Hardback? Not exactly sure which is better.
So that is for the case. Both have kickstands right? So no need for a dock then?
And the POGO cable, yes, I'll get it.
Anything else I should for?

There are no true docks available for this device yet that I am aware of.
The Hardback case can be configured to prop the tablet open to several angles with the top cover laying flat in front of the screen. That might work differently than what some people think of as a kickstand, which to me is something that opens from the back to prop the tablet up and nothing lies in front of the screen. The problem with either style is that the POGO connector is on the bottom, so you might end up using the micro usb for power or maybe flip the screen upside down in the case, but then the power and volume buttons are on the bottom and you have the POGO connector sticking out on top. We really want a true dock for this soon...

Okay. The only question now is, The Moko Slim-Fit or the Poetic Hardback?

Why the poetic have that ugly cross on it ... Little macabre

I have the moko slim-fit, here's a quick run-down:
It's quite a good looking case, with various different colour options (I took orange). The PU material did not come stinking of catpiss, is very well made and shows no signs of wear after some use.
It has magnets that wake/sleep the screen and it can prop the tablet up at various angles.
It has a really nice microfiber interior, which will never scratch the screen and feels pleasant to the touch.
All the ports are exposed and easily accessible, as well as the buttons (this is not true for the poetic).
I also read that the corners on some peoples' poetic cases would crack.
Those are pretty much the reasons why I bought the Moko and I am more than pleased with it. Excellent case.

looking for a slim case with kickstand.

hey there guys I'm looking for a case for my samsung Verizon Galaxy Note 2. looking for one that fits the stock battery as well as one that fits the extended battery.trying to find with a kickstand is proving difficult.I don't want a folio or one that closes like a book I want that had the screen open all the time. also need it to be able to go in and out of my pocket easy without catching, smooth if you will but still has some grip. a tall order I know I've looked quite a bit any help is much appreciated.

The seidio surface looks like the thinnest case with a kickstand but I'm just judging by looking online.
You could look into the flygrip too. I have it and it's actually a lot thinner then I thought it would be. I love it, it makes one handed operation so much easier and it doubles as a kickstand you can use in portrait or landscape. Plus you can attach it to any case.

+1 for the Seidio surface case. Good protection, hardly adds any bulk at all, and it does have a kickstand. I usually use the active cases on my phones, but the note 2 being as big as it is, I didn't want to add that much bulk. So far very happy with the surface case. (And I've dropped it a few times, holds up very well.)

Another vote for the surface. I love the look and feel of mine. The only thing to note is that it may push up your screen protector if you have one. I had to trim mine with an exacto knife before I applied it once the surface was on. Now I'm looking at the vitreo as a new surface protector as that'll fit with the surface as is.

I ordered this case. Will let you know how it is.

I have that exact case too. After a while the kickstand did start to fall out of the case but i found out it was because the tiny (and I mean tiny) bump that they consider a latch had broken off. So I just dabbed a little super glue and it fits just fine.
It does get a little slippery at times, but I like that the kickstand is pretty sturdy on portrait mode. You don't often see a kickstand that is sturdy and doesn't topple the phone when you press on it.

Agreed. Before getting the ZL battery, I tried a couple of kickstand cases and the thinner cases have thin kickstands.

I purchased the Seidio case with the kickstand. I've used their cases for quite some time simply because they have such a low profile and it's easy to remove the battery. My wife has the Otterbox on her Note II, but only because she doesn't know how to hold on to her device and has already shattered one Note II. The protection you get from the Otterbox is nice, but I really prefer the smaller footprint of the Seidio. Also, the kickstand works terrific.

I have the Sedio Surface case and I liked the kickstand on that a lot, but I did have one gripe. After having to take out my battery a few times I noticed the case didn't stay together very well. Sometimes the case would actually come apart in my pocket when I went to grab it from my pocket. I did find sticking some thin paper between the case and the phone helped with it coming apart often though. If you don't find yourself taking off your case a lot it might be a good case.
