Folding smartcover like ipad

Im looking for a folding case similar to the ones for an ipad.
Has anyone seen any of these?

Me too! But from what I've seen, there's nothing similar...I'm not liking ANY of the cases available for the Nexus 7 right now...all seem too bulky and just doesn't go with the whole tablet...

I don't like it when they have something covering the front bezel as it gets in the way, especially with a smaller tablet.

The smart cover with a cover for the back is exactly what I'm looking for.

I'd say there's probably pretty huge demand for this among N7 buyers. One of the big draws for a 7" tablet is portability compared to a 10". I can fit the thing in my pants pocket or my inner coat pocket with ease and no real additional bulk. These huge covers currently on sale seriously take away from that.

I'd glady pay $25-40 for a tpu case with a folding smart cover that can be used as a stand as well. It would be thin, give protection on all sides & turn screen off automatically.
I agree the market is there for something like this, with the sales through the roof of the N7 I do think we will see alot of quality cases soon.

+1, we know the market is there, it just seems the manufacturers don't or they'd be making them....everything is some hefty duty thick ugly cover up your entire device type of case....

I think we'll start seeing cases like that in Middle/Late August or September. Most of the nicer cases that are made specifically for the Nexus won't come out until later.

I would love to have something like the Apple Smart Cover with Android Robot in GREEN!!!

I would like one too. Almost all cases for Nexus 7 that I have seen just makes the device bulkier.

I'd love a smart cover like the one for iPad's. I use a carbon fibre sticker on the back of my iPad to protect it and with the smart cover for the front, it hardly adds to the thickness. Currently using a playbook case (until the case I ordered comes in) and it definitely adds bulk.

looking for the same

Same here. I want something thin and foldable that's not cheap leather crap.

I have the Amazon Kindle Fire Tuxedo Slim Case:

eBay Meifeng Hard Case

I purchased this on eBay for $8.77 shipped. Purchase date was 10/7/2012 and it arrived today 10/23/2012 from China.
My Note 2 should arrive later this week but I got some detailed pics of the case in case you guys were eyeballing them on eBay but hesitant to buy.

What I find most annoying about these cases is that they don't cover the top and bottom bezel, which is actually the part that will get scratched the most easily as it's the parts that have the most friction going into and coming out of your pocket! I can't wait to get some nice OEM cases (like the S3 TPU case that Samsung makes) or Case Mate cases or Seidio! Come on companies! Make your cases

this is exactly what I though when looking at cases. I now have a silicone case which protects all the sides of the phone...

Avoid the metal backs, I bought one for an S3 that I was trying, GPS dropped from seeing 16 Satellites to 3 and I lost 2 bars of cell signal. So if you want a metal back, make sure you can return it just in case.

Rule of thumb: never cover your internal antennas with metal! It messes with the reception and attenuates the sound of voices in phone calls. The iPhone can do it only because its antenna is on the outside. Still, I personally like the plastic. I mean, it doesn't feel as premium as other devices, but it still feels great in hand Love my device. I got a TPU case to protect it. I haven't dropped my phone in the past 4 years, so the case is just against scratches. hehe.

Someone mentioned they opted for a plastic/metal case. But it was more of fore warning because if you got Ebay there are a ton of aluminum backs.

Whats a good otterbox alternative?

I'm going to be doing some field work soon, and want to be able to take my phone with me instead of taking a cheap feature phone like I used to.
Problem is, its going to be dirty, cold dusty and jagged and I need a good rugged case with screen protection, preferably one that won't me back 40-60$ like the otterbox does.
must have features are port covers, a dust resilient screen protector, and a toughened shell/case.
thanks in advance for any help
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Even if you were to go with something other than an OtterBox, for that level of protection I believe you'd still be looking at the ~$50 price range.

Im a field service engineer and let me tell you that my otter commuter saved my phone a few times - from multiple angle drops to dirty fingers. had it on for a week now and it works as advertised. was looking for a cheaper alternative as well but after reading the reviews and watching drop tests videos its the best protection you can get for ~50 bucks.

Drop test for the note 2 commuter? Only seen defender vids. Link? Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

I am also a field service engineer and work with literally tons of abrasive dust. I have a cheap fosmon kickstand cover that I bought on amazon. it was really only a few bucks. I also have on a cheap wet apply screen protector I bought on amazon I think it is the just like glass protector. The case makes the softbuttons hard to use, so you may want to flash a rom with the nexus buttons enabled.

victorlht88 said:
i am using speck candyshell on a daily basis now that i am used to the bulk it adds. Apart from the fact that the back scratches up pretty much easily, I don't have any negative comments about it.
A pretty decent protective shell excluding the front screen protector of the otterbox.

Incipio DualPro Shine, has silicone inner layer and hard poly around the corners and back etc. Also raised over the screen, just add your own wet application screen protector.

Casemate told me the Tough case is coming out on Wednesday. Always liked it more than the commuter

$15 free shipping and screen protector. Nice Industrial style.

I have the commuter case. I believe it is a great case and I highly reccomend it. It cost me around 32 euros and I dont regret it. Most of the times when we look for cheap alternatives we end up spending more money on various cases just to return to our first and more expensive option. And if you want my opinion you dont just but 2 parts of silicon and plastic. You buy the reassurance that whatever happens to your case Otterbox will replace it. And of course you also buy their experience. Just check all these crazy drop tests on youtube.

[review] Deluxe Leather Card Stand Flip Wallet Case

Original Post
Has anyone used this leather flip case?
Deluxe Leather Card Stand Flip Wallet Case
It looks to be high quality, but I have a concern. It looks to be magnetic. Where is the magnet? If it is in the little flap, I would just cut it off. If anyone has used it, I would appreciate hearing what you think.

Purchase Review:
I thought I would start this off by giving a quick review of the transaction. I ordered mine through the eBay link in my original post that is quoted above. Shipping was very fast. It was packaged pretty well, and I got exactly what I ordered. If anyone is interested in this case I recommend using the this eBay link.
[Modified] Product Review:
I am reviewing the product as I modified it. I cut the little flap off to remove the magnet.
PROS:
The case does seem to be very high quality. The coloring is very nice and the case has a premium look and feel. I also really like the shell insert to clip the phone in. There is no bulk around the edges of the screen to contend with. It allows you to use swipe gestures as you would on a naked phone.
There is also plenty of storage for 4-5 credit cards, a pocket for cash, and another pocket for papers (Social Security Card, Voter ID, or things like that).
This case also offers pretty good protection as long as it stays closed on a drop. If it were to flutter open in the air before and land screen down, the screen might not fare too well.
CONS:
There is a second magnet inside the front cover of the case. I piece of metal will stick to the outside very easily, However if you run the piece of metal along the inside of the front cover, there is no magnetic pull. I don't know if it would interfere with the phone, but I don't want to risk it.
The storage, while a pro, is also a con. The case is too big to use everyday in your front pocket. It fits, but there is a huge bulge that just looks weird. And I don't like the thought of sitting on my phone all the time, so the back pocket is out. If I carried a bag around all day the size wouldn't bother me at all.
No front cutouts. A cutout for the notification LED would be nice. I don't really need a front speaker cut out, but I could see why others would.
Credit cards in the case. I worry about have the edges of the cards always rubbing on the screen. I have a screen protector your screen would be safe, but the protector itself would have rub lines from the cards.
OVERALL OPINION:
I really like the way it looks. I really like the idea of it. However the cons are just too much, and this case isn't for me.

I would also like to know looks super nice for the price...I want a wallet case like that so I can throw phone in my backpack for work and watnot

I picked this up and love it. I actually did away with the little flap and with precision sliced it off. I keep three cards in the card holders and with a little over a months use it is nicely worn in getting an authentic 'vintage' look. Because it's worn in the cover doesn't have issues closing completely giving it a true Journal/Diary appearance.
I bought mine here, but still stuck with the same color posted on the OP.

Is there any cases out there that portray that minimalistic look of a bumper case for the nexus 7? I just want something to protect the rim of the device.

I can't see it being viable really, since the iPhone is flat sided and the Nexus 7 is, well, not. Also, do you want one for the 4 or the 7? Title says 7, post says 4. Regardless, unless you modify a TPU case, I don't see it happening.

The 'basketbally' pattern gives it a really nice grip and feel, the reflective 'X' is also grippy in a weird way. I don't miss the naked back at all.
I have never uploaded photos on XDA before and this is on the XDA app so I don't know how I will go...
EDIT: BTW, this is just a cheap Chinese eBay generic X design case, there are hundreds of eBay sellers selling these.

I have an Incipio case on mine. Fits perfectly, keeps your device safe from scratches. Doesn't do much else but looks good and is a good quality piece of plastic. I like it because it actually keeps my thin tablet thin, while still offering some protection unlike other cases which make your thin tablet into thick beast. It also comes with a screen protector so you can save money on that. It's a little under a millimeter thin all around.
http://www.amazon.com/Incipio-Feath...id=1358535542&sr=8-1&keywords=incipio+nexus+7

Pretty much the same as the Insipio but way cheaper are the hoard of cheap Chinese made cases just like those found on eBay for less than 10 bucks even from domestic sellers although the direct from China ones are cheaper yet. Search hard plastic Nexus 7 case to see which ones I mean. Search hard Nexus 7 case to find cheaper ones from a huge list of cases including TPU ones although I find it quite a stretch to call TPU "hard." I have one of these on my HTC Flyer and love it although I never even looked for one for my Nexus since I wanted something over the screen.
