Not sure if it been posted before, but ive currently ordered the following
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SD-Tabletwe...F3DO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1342898437&sr=8-2
Anyone have any experiences with this case?

I'd like to know the same thing. Been looking at these myself.

Ive bought one, so, we shall see.

Ive seen the case before, but not bundled with a screen protector and stand. I actually ordered the TPU case. Comes in S, waves, and X rear design. Will post pics once I receive it.

Please post your impressions of the case AND the stand once you receive it. I'd love to know

need this to be sold here in the US lol

TPU
I keep searching and notice a lot more vendors have them available, TPU cases that is. Seems they are all selling the same 2 designs.
But this one has the largest color selection. For those looking for the White Backing

I have the clear S case coming today/tomorrow, and the Black X case coming Friday. Also Have a 7in Android slip cover coming. will post thoughts when I receive.

Thanks goes to vancouver_hawk for linking;http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/mob/3158954395.html
GREAT source for pictures on how these Series S-line look on the Nexus 7. I ordered the X series, which I think covers the buttons.
Found another clear X series installed on a I/O unit;
Borrowed me some ebay pictures of a clear S-line installed on a retail unit;

I have the s-line case on my nexus 7 n its a nice fit. Cutouts are perfectly lined up with buttons, speaker hole, charging port, etc. Very thin not bulky at all but thick enough to protect the n7. I would recommend it.

Looks nice. I will pick one up. Nice too as you do,nt have to worry about setting the device face down, getting the back greasy (reading while eating ) or having to look like an old person with all these "folio" cases.

I bought one of the X designs shows in the various colors on the previous page. I bought it from Amazon in black. Coupled with a SP this maybe all that I need.
I would like a thin flap case but they add way to much bulk right now. Maybe when someone creates a thin model, I'll jump.

Anyone using this slim Smart Cover case?

http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/NEW-Slim...ccessories&hash=item3a7833a3ae#ht_4066wt_1139
it looks great..comes with hard case and slim cover. I just ordered..not sure how's the quality though
anyone already using this?

looks close to an incipio feather case design for the ipad... the corners dont seem fully covered though? i want something like this as i hate the current folio leather case i have.. its serving a purpose by keepinng the nexus safe.. but i want something slimmer

Been waiting for something like this. Ordered in grey!

Ordered one in gray earlier in the week so should receive it by the end of next week.

I don't understand the bottom set of pictures detailing the case wrapping around the back. Will be keen for someone to chime in and explain how it actually covers the unit

Completely agreed. Likely enough to get me to abandon my TreeGloo case if so.

How come I can't find any with US pricing? What does RM even mean? Thanks in advance...

Once you guys get it please post pics and reviews! :fingers-crossed:

It surrounds the whole unit in a similar way to the TPU cases, but has a wrap around cover to protect the screen.

i also order this case last week
waiting shipping to my house now

I don't like the flap how it wraps completely around the device and attaches to the back. I guess you could cut it off or something but then it would just flop around.

i agree...why not have a TPU style case and then just attach the front flap to the edge of the case....that is really all they need.

Maybe cuz sometimes the flap folds up from the screen when you put it in a bag leaving the screen exposed....does anybody know if it wakes and sleeps the tablet?

From the description, yes..this case has the wake/sleep feature

I received this one in black yesterday. It works great and you can't beat the price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221095819899

It makes the n7 look like a brick

Re: Nexus 7 smart cover
I ordered a grey color cover from this seller last week. Expecting it to be delivered this week.

Waiting for a cover like Apple's ipad smart cover

Can we expect quality smartcover, like Apple's ipad smart cover, soon from any of the established players? I bought the poetic one but it looks different from the image displayed at Amazon.

at the moment, it's either the Poetic one or this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840085
I prefer the latter, from eBay. Prefer how the front cover wraps around slightly.

Thanks. But seen that one and it wraps all the around to back.

Then check the Poetic one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792355
I just got mine yesterday and I really like it. The only problem is that the flap doesn't fold completely back flat.
You could however, probably cut off the flap and super glue it on to the edge of your N7 lol.

Have you even glanced at this forum? Theres like two posts that talk about cases that have "**SIMILAR TO APPLE SMARTCOVER**"

mate, they may be cheap and not have the overly priced Apple price tag like the official Smart covers they offer, but honestly, for $14 you cannot go wrong with these cases. The quality is above average IMO.

Well then what is the problem? It looks like the smart cover. It's the same quality as the smart cover. And it's cheaper!
Would you like me to sell you one for 50$ to make you think it's better? (Like apple)

I wrote "LIKE" not "BY".

The Op is referring to a cover just for the screen with no backing. You guys are confusing the apple smart case with the smart cover, two different products from apple.
I would be interested in a cover like the iPad cover too just to protect the screen and act as a stand without doubling the thickness and is easy to take off when not needed. I'm not sure if a cover like that is possible with the nexus 7 though since the ipad cover looks like it being hold in place with a magnet but I'm not sure.

You got it right.

This and the quality is certainly not the same, if u look at the review videos u see that the stand feature doesn't work that well.
I want something high quality, custom built for the Nexus not some junk they try to pass off

high quality?
Wrap it with toilet paper...

Bunker Ring

Has anyone tried a Bunker Ring or FlyGrip on the M8? I REALLY want a kickstand, but they're all either ugly, or really thick. The Seidio ones are okay, but the kickstands are housed in a bumpout, and I've had stability issues before with kickstands that are off center. Also, they're expensive. I ordered a generic Bunker Ring from amazon for cheap, (instead of the original from Thehishop.com) to try it out.
Mostly wondered how it would do with the curved back of the M8. I'm thinking it 'might' be alright on a TPU case I'm getting, in that it might just pull the case out flat where its attached...but figured I'd see if anyone has tried...
I'll post my findings on it when it arrives, but it's coming from china...so it'll be awhile...

Where do you keep it when not in use? inside the case? or just floating around?

If you think about returning to a case with a kickstand checkout the "HTC M8 One 2 Puregear Kickstand Case Holster Combo" can be bought on Amazon for $16.99. It has a raised edge around the screen which protects it if you lay it screen down and the kickstand is stable. IR blaster works to. Comes with a belt holster or easy to carry in your pocket.

Tech21 Cases

Tech21 doesn't seem to get a lot of attention in this group. I'm just wondering what everyone thinks. I have an Evo Check for my phone and it is a great case. Fits well and seems like it would protect the phone. Still, I also want a folio type case, to protect the screen. Tech21 has this case: https://www.tech21.com/en_us/evo-wallet-galaxy-note8-black
Does anyone have any experience with it that would tell me whether it would be a good or bad purchase?

Their cases are too slippery and they make so few cases for the Note 8 I over look them. Quality is crap for how much they cost

Yes, they are quite expensive.

I hope this information helps. I also wanted a folio type case to protect the cover as all the screen protectors seem to be pretty lacking. I went with my wife to the T-Mobile store where she wanted to get an S8 Plus and this case that you picked out was close to what she got. Was given a drop test by the cashier using his own phone. The packaging was pretty plain and I wasn't that impressed but wanted to get in and out and we got it. After checking it out after she had it a few weeks I went ahead and ordered the one that you pasted a link for above. Honestly I recommend it. Pretty sturdy and thin but protects the phone quite nicely. has a clip clasp and obviously covers the front. Not bulky but not skimpy either... My fourth case for the note lol and this one is a keeper.. Go for it.

I use the Tech21 EVO as it fits with the Dome Glass protector I have. This is my first Tech21 case but the version I got is not slippery at all due to the back.

Looked into that. Its a nice case, but that clasp needs to be magnetic or something, I found the plastic push-in clasp to be cumbersome to open and close quickly.

My s5 it has a tech 21 case has 3 years old and it fel so many times. It is an impressive piece of engenering, just the sound it makes when it its the floor...it sounds muted like it is made from ruber.
Off course i would get a tech 21 for my note 8, choose the evo wallet because ...such a big screen ...
It is very expensive.
they are not slepery unless one has spider hands!
I wish they made a case that completly isolates the phone, and another one so that i can put the phone on my bikes like rokform does.
I am very happy with my evo!
