First let me say that the turnaround time on my order was amazing for a handmade case. I placed my order last Friday 02/01 and received it today 02/06.
The build quality is impeccable. Everything is tight and the materials are top notch. The case itself is absolutely gorgeous.
I have tried using the case in portrait mode with the cover open and folded back and found that both positions are easy to use.
In landscape i have tried the case laid down and propped up and have found both to be workable. Standing up is great for viewing videos and laying down has presented the best typing angle I have experienced on my Nexus 7.
The case is easy to remove and the strap does a good job of keeping the Nexus secure when not in use.
The speaker does appear to be slightly muted. This is not that big of a deal to me as most of the time I am using a Bose Soundlink II.
If you are looking for a top notch case made of premium materials then this is the case for you.
Here are some images. My apologies for the image quality as i took them from my GNex.

Does it add considerable weight?

I know that it looks like it does but the case is actually very light. There is no considerable difference in weight.

It ain't a very light case, so yes, it does.
I can confirm that the quality is very good and I like the looks (I don't have the 'wooden' edge).

I should be getting my gnex soon and I was going to use of primarily for work purposes like notes and such.
I have a leather portfolio for work right now that I take hand notes on for meetings which is really nice then I convert them to the PC. I'm going to utilize Google drive for a medium between my tab and work PC. F'in love Google!
My question is does anybody know of a good 7 inch tablet portfolio style case with a pad of paper in it so I can take notes and work on my tab at the same time? I would prefer leather but I'll take the other smart case style material as well.
Any help appreciated. Thanks!

I found this one after looking forever for the same thing you were looking for.

I'm also interested in a case that holds a pad, but I'd like it to hold an A5 pad and be A5 sized.....

Does anyone know if the magnets on the N7 would support an iPad smart cover style front?
I had a wooden Miniot smart cover for my iPad and loved it. And I love how the N7 feels in the hand so I don't want to add bulk.
I've not heard of any though...

Looks sweet! This would match perfectly with my Mica Plank watch
I sent an email request to see if they will even think of creating one for the N7. We'll see :fingers-crossed:
We won't ever see this I think. The iPad has 2 sets of magnets. One of the left to anchor the case, one on the right to turn the screen on/off. The N7 has one on the left for on/off only.
Such a shame. I hate how much bulk most cases add.
Better keep my eyes open for the thinnest case I can find.

Got a response today and they said no. :crying:
Hunt goes on! LOL
Considering the back of the N7 can come off with a fingernail, we almost need a replacement back for the N7, with an attached screen flap. I think there's an antenna in the stock back though... so an aftermarket case may exclude that. Not sure if it's just a NFC antenna or what?
Picked up this case today.
Feels great and fits well. The sandy finish really helps with the grip. Plus this kind of red is hard to come by, a kind of dull red that even guys can use. Looks great on my gray note.

Can you post some pics on your device. I have the white one and I'm doubting it is going to look as nice.

Does the case offer any front protection? Does it have raised front corners or sides? I'm thinking that the screen is the most vulnerable area on the phone, and therefore needs some format of protection.

Hows the signal/wifi etc like?
I'm using this case but black in color.. feels a lot like Rock Quicksand hard casing. Doesn't affect signal/wifi at all in my opinion..maybe cause it's not made of metal?
Agree. Signal is not affected at all. It's made of some sort of plastic or resin or whatnot. I really like the feel of the case. It feels like a very fine sandpaper or what not.

This is what I use for my n7 and I have zero complaints also.
Do you have any tips installing it? I have ruined 2 and couldn't manage to put one without any bubbles?
Follow the instructions peel half of the first later off from top to bottom and align appropriately then smooth it out as you peel off the first layout the rest of the way, afterwards there will be some bubbles just smooth them out with the wedge giving in the package some may take some pressure to get it completely gone

Use some screen cleaner to get as much of the dust as possible off of it. It really helps to cut down on the number of bubbles that are caused by dust.
The hardest part for me was just getting it centred and positioned properly. Must have taken me 7-8 tries.
I just bought this off Amazon and installed it on my phone yesterday. The build quality is excellent and the cut out is spot on. The case came with a build in screen protector. It also came with 2 extra power button for replacement. Although the volume is part of the case but i have no issue pressing it.

Would you recommend this for someone using it at a construction site? And what would you consider the drop protection to be from what you see?

This case is not as good as everyone says if you want quality go with a defender or shocks it. I returned this case after I physically held it

For the price. I think is pretty good. I agree it can't compare to ottobox product. It is just user preferences. Thanks
