EXOTEK Premium Slim-Fit Folio Cover Case

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MIQGTQ/ref=ox_ya_os_product
So here's a case I pre-ordered for $4.99 total. Not sure if it's worth it or not, but hey for 5 bucks I figured it was worth a shot. What do you guys think?

What tablet is in the case in the picture?

Looks ok, imagine paying $60 for that, lol. Let us know how well the clips hold the tablet in.

I have that case in red without the sleep wake magnet. I decided to order a TPU case recently, and a slip cover plus a car mount. Folio cases make it harder to mount in the car which I actually like to do, oddly enough. GPS is excellent on the N7.

Yeah $60 would never have happened. My tablet normally hangs around the house so the Moko case seems a bit overkill for me. And hopefully the clips hold it in.

It's a Kindle Fire. Looks like the other cases out now.

Poetic makes the same one for a few dollars more. Looks like this is the cheapest one. I'm ordering.
Long live the One X

MoKo, Bluerex, and a few others are making what appears to be the exact same case for a few bucks more. Did they skimp on materials, or are they identical. Warranties? Anyone know? I would think they are all buying them from the same manufacturer, so I'm curious how these guys sell foll less than half the others.

Hey, thanks for posting that! That's exactly what I'm looking for (a case that doesn't completely cover the bezel, has multiple angles, and cheap). I just pre ordered mine as well, and will be using it until Speck releases their FitFolio for the Nexus.That's the case I ultimately want, but this $5.00 case looks like it will hold me over just fine for now.

These guys probably bought a large quantity from the manufacturer and probably got a big discount which equals best price for the consumer. Makes sense no?

I guess, but I hear the other names more, so I would have put them at the bigger order. Never heard of EXOTEK. Are they big?

Depends how much profit they want to take. You can look these cases up on alibaba to see where they come from - the manufacturer is happy to emboss a logo on the front to make it look branded. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a couple of different factories ready to supply the same basic design, but doubt there'll be much difference in quality.
[Edit: I can't find this design on Ali Express at the moment, but similar cases are running for around $6-7 in lots of 20-50, so $4.99 is getting pretty close to the base manufacturer price.]

Wow, I am so annoyed with amazon's shipping. Not the first nice case I've found, and for such a nice killer price too that won't ship to Canada. The case concept is exactly what I'm looking for. I found this one that ships to Canada branded by i-bason, but it's 24 bucks with shipping though looks the same. I'm debating either ordering that or waiting until more 'look alike' cases appear on amazon that ship to Canada.

Yeah, very strange. Thanks for the link. I think I'll see if anyone else gets this branded case before jumping in. Like you said, there is almost no profit for EXOTEK, and that doesn't even include shipping/transport for them. Something seems off about the price. For not much more, there is a bit more peace of mind I think.

I preordered the orange one from iblason (ships on 7/26). It's to hold me over until the treegloo cases start shipping. I'll report back with one of my mini reviews.

This is almost identical to the ViperTEK case I had for my Tab 8.9 which I loved. I just pre-ordered this as well. Looks like it has a magnetic as well for on/off functionality which is a bonus. Thanks for posting this.

Looks like they raised the price to $8.99 + $4.99 shipping...
I checked my invoice to be sure, and sure enough it's still at $4.99 and no shipping charges. Maybe a mistake on their end by having that original price, or they saw the orders coming in and thought they could make a few more bucks by raising the price?

Is this the same as moko's version?

I was OK with paying $25.00 at the most. But 9.99 for shipping? They're really adding insult to injury there!!

I'd love to see how they justify $9.99 for 4.7oz of material.

most of the reviews of this case basically says it kinda sucks, doesn't have smartcover fuction, and offers fairly little protection... and they still don't seem to have the color options they showed pictures of from Asus.
when you can get dozens of cases that will fold back, have smart cover functions and are about 1/3 the price, its kinda dumb

Yeah, no smartcover is ridiculous for this price range. No way!

I'd be willing to sell mine to anyone in the Seattle area. Not a fan of it.

erg skinomi s pen imprints..

Hey guys I just recently put on a skinomi full body protector and it looks like the s pen leaves imprints of what I write.... anyone else having an issue like this?

is the skinomi any good? is it clear and not rubbery? :/

I never use the screen protector that come with the full body protection from skinomi. It's very soft and leave marks with the pen....I would suggest you take it off and use a sgp instead...very scratch resistant....

Hmm maybe I will except I thoughg the skinomi was supposed to be really strong? Does the sgp not get marks from the s pen
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

Any of those types of protectors (Zagg/BodyGuardz/BestSkinsEver/GhostArmor/PhantomSkinz) will leave impressions. The ones you apply without liquid like Spigen are harder and will not leave impressions.

Ah ok wish I knew that... why are these so soft? Does the spygen provide better protection? Wonder why they dont say the s pen will leave impressions if they are going to sell it for the note 2...

Had the exact same problem with the Zagg HD. Very disappointed.

Yup. Had a Skinomi for my Note I. Tore the screen protector off within a day. Never again...

Lame... got it on amazon wonder if I can get a refund ..I feel like thay is a defect for the note 2 and should be in the description.

Won't hurt to ask Amazon or Skinomi. Skinomi has a 30-day money back guarantee on their site so maybe they will stand by their product even if purchased on Amazon, who knows. Get a credit or at least something for it.

yeah I know just didn't know about protectors... however when doing he refund option it says it has to go through the company first for approval. Never had that before.

Sounds like it was purchased through Amazon but from Skinomi. The return process is different for items not processed by Amazon directly. 3rd party returns like this one go through the vendor. Easy way to tell is by the shipping, if it is Free Amazon Prime/Free Shipping > 25 dollars it is being processed by Amazon.

Otterbox Defender in stock at otterbox.com and sprint.com.

Too expensive for me, around $65 with tax and shipping. I'll wait for Amazon. Happy shopping.
Otterbox Coupon Code: AM2012

Just spent my $63.25. Called 7 sprint stores before I found one in stock. Man it makes it bigger, but if it saves me $150.000 on insurance deductible its worth it. I also like the back much better now it has grips so it won't slip in my hand.

$65 well spend. Otterbox makes top quality cases and they stand 100% behind their product. They have the best customer service ive ever seen and will go above and beyond for their customers. Buy a cheap case and you're basically SOL if you dont like it or its defective.

I did not pay retail price for my Note 2. I sign a two year agreement with T-Mobile and they discount the Note 2 for $150, but you need to ask for the retention department.

I agree, Otterbox warranty service is the best, my HTC HD2 got two commuter case for free, no questions ask and also my HTC Desire HD. I just love it. Hopefully Amazon will have it soon.

With sprint the upgrade price is 300.00 and deductible is 150.00. This is my first otterbox because all my other phones had slide out keyboards. So whats the cost to replace it with t-mobile?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

Otterbox isn't for everyone, but I'll gladly spend 60 bucks to keep me from having to pay a 200 deductible. And the cases have a 1 year warranty. Anything goes wrong or it breaks/gets broken, they replace no questions asked.

There are better versions of that case for less money. That one has no magnetic closure, nothing to keep it shut when you want it shut.

I would but it's one of the most common case designs and not hard to find on Amazon or eBay, think how much more fulfilling it would be if you discovered it for yourself.
