Blurex Cases With Keyboard

Recently I emailed Blurex. I knew from the other post here that they would be making cases for the N7 and I wanted to know if they would make a case with a BT Keyboard like the one I had previously. I also decided to have a little fun with them because they usually love this as it breaks up the boredom of their crappy jobs. Here is the conversation.
My letter:
Name: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Company Name:U.S. Air Force
Company Url:We INVENTED the Internet!(with help from Al Gore)
Message: Hello! I love your cases and have purchased by my admittedly
completely inaccurate estimate at least 2 million of them. I am wondering if
you would be making a case for my shiny new Google Nexus 7(which apparently
will never ship). I would be particularly interested in one which had your
awesome Bluetooth Keyboard bundled with it!

The reply:
Dear XXXXXXXX,
You are a fantastic writer! You really get your personality through. Thank you 2 million times over for a great e-mail, and o-yah, your interest in our products. We are making a cased for your never been shipped(but will surely get to you)Nexus 7. I do apologize, but it will not be a keyboard case.
I will be sure to keep you posted.
Have a great day,
Alex

So it seems for any of you who like me were hoping for a nice Blurex KB Case you will not get one, but they will at least be making cases

This thread could have easily been added to the existing blurex thread. Please post there.

Made my day lol, love it.

Man oh man, a case like that Xoom one for the N7 would be amazing. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

Sadly they woin't be making it. BUT they have released THIS bad boy here!
An XDA user spotted it. It's probably an incorrect price but for 6 dollars including shipping, it's a no brainer! I bought 2 and they are shipping!

Suh-weet. How is that really nice case on 6 bucks AFTER shipping? Doesn't matter. I got myself one before they realized how much money they've gotta be losing, haha. Nice find, man.

well it was originally listed at $299.99, was supposed to be $29.99. They went back and fixed it to say $4.06 now. Guess they've been drinking! Or maybe a couple people accidentally bought at 299 and they felt bad so they gave a steep discount for a time.

Yeah, there's something fishy here...the product isn't even in stock yet, however there are several 5 star ratings from people who already received them. And I looked at the review history for several of them, and they seemed to rate everything 5 stars...

Careful guys. It could be a scam. It's littered with phony 5 star reviews.

I don't think it takes much to be a 3rd party seller. Either way, I don't think the company will completely rip you off. I think the scam is selling cheap case made to look a lot better than they are by planting fake reviews.

i returned a $6 kindle fire case with keyboard because it was some knockoff of what the pictures stated (it was missing the spring hinge to hold it in place, the stitching was just for show and the glue was around coming off within 24 hrs) - issue resolved very quickly with little hassle

Yes. I don't think a company is going to commit total fraud on a $5 item. But, it's quite obvious they're planting phoney reviews. If they're shipping cases for $5 including the shipping and making a profit, I wouldn't expect too much when it arrives.

The price seems way too good to be true.

I'm beginning to suspect that companies price these kinds of items insanely low at first, get tons of buyers, then get tons of awesome reviews, then they jack up the price and ride the positive reviews straight to profit (see the blurex magyc case as an example). In other words, pays to get in early on these deals (except I won't because I want an easy rotating case, not Velcro reattachment stuff).

This is the reply I got from the seller:
Hi dear customer,
Thank you for your email and concern. We are sorry for the misunderstanding and confusion about those product reviews. In fact, we usually produce around 100 samples for each new item before start producing large quantity. Especially for the tablet cases, we have confirm the case is perfectly fit the tablet. Those product reviews are the reviewers who received our sample in 2-3 weeks ago.
Thank you for your referral and patience for this back order. Please contact us at any time if you have any questions when you receive the case.
Thank you for your time and have a nice weekend
Sincerely,
Accessorise

This is what I wrote them originally: I should've posted this first... my bad..
Hello I recently purchased your product and would like confirmation that this is a legitimate product because I have referred your product to many people. They have questioned your product due to its obviously fake reviews. If you would please email me a confirmation or reference of yourself as a seller it would be good for your businesses and my peace of mind. Thank you.
I guess it makes sense and helps a Lil that they responded..

That's what I'm thinking too. A couple of cases that I'm eying for already increase their prices and shipping as well. I just ordered blue one. Not too much to loss. Just $5. We'll see.

Nexus 7. Thought I was going to hate it.

After coming the new Asus Infinity tablet, and after returning/exchanging my 4th one caused by QC issues, feeling bitter, I thought I'd never (At least until QC is fixed) purchase another Asus tablet again.
Opportunity struck when I was bored and tablet-less, to purchase the Nexus 7 that was on hold from a friend with my name on it. Supposedly I purchased the last Nexus 7 within a 170Mi radius of local stores relative to me, remarked a District Manager of the store.
A shot in the dark, yes, after being through hell with the Infinity.
I absolutely pre-judged this devices 7inch screen, lack of rear camera, lack of ports, etc to justify buying Asus' Flagship latest Transformer tab.
I cant seem to put this damn thing down, I use it constantly, the form-factor is a perfect size and weight, the back feels great to hold. No issues with QC (yet), not a single dead or hot pixel, no screen raising or separation, no creaking or squeaking, this unit feels solid. FYI: My unit is from the 'C8 Serial Number' series.
The biggest issue I have yet are from the bystanders who approach me wherever I seem to go and ask me about my 'iPad Mini' or how did I get an 'iPad Mini'.
Within a 40 minute coffee shop sitting, 7 people approached me asking if it was an 'iPad' mini. I spent twice as long explaining them it's not an iPad Mini, its a Nexus 7, it runs Android OS, etc. Then bombarded by their questioning on why I didn't wait for the iPad Mini and ridiculed as to why I didn't have an iPad yet.
This is my first 'real' Android device, let alone tablet (not counting the Infinity which never left my house, except for the BestBuy exchanges).
I've learned that the confusion of the Nexus 7 for an iOS/Apple is inevitable.
So I raced home and came up with an easy solution... attached are photos.
Yes it's actually easier going with their beliefs of it being an iPad Mini then quickly hiding the device in my bag and watch them try and snap photos from across the room. It also gives me an excuse to quick-pitch the curious that 'they never saw this', and 'we never and cannot talk' which usually does the trick.
A fun game I am enjoying as I await my case to arrive...:laugh:
Cheers to all the newfound friends and support on here. I'm blessed.

You put an apple sticker....on your nexus...? And you posted a pic here?

Nice trolling with that sticker!

It's doubly funny because it trolls the Apple zombies and a offends the Android fanboys.

Don't you know, Apple invented the 7in formfactor. As soon as they get them out the door in September, they will start legal proceedings against Asus for copying their ideas.
Really, Apple fanboys laughing at you... I think the joke is actually on them...
I love my Nexus7. I bought our first one for the missus - I had a Asus Transformer 10in Android tablet/netbook, but I have since sold that and bought a second Nexus 7 just for me (I could never get on the first one). Both are perfect and both are used CONSTANTLY.
7in tablet is perfect for me, and the spec and price of the Nexus7 are perfect two. I can buy "his and hers" Nexus7 for the price of a single iPad. So who is REALLY the fool?

Thank you for the input. A local consumer electronics store "Best Browse" may have a 7 inch net book around. Probably comparable in size. I think I'll give that a shot to see how cramped it may be. Worst case scenario I'll have a $25-$30 hard shell case. Best case scenario it is a decent keyboard to get some typing done when there isn't a full keyboard around.

How is this much better than the portrait keyboard?

I work in a store that sell elektronic accesories and we have this for the ipad. It's quite good quality. But the pad is quite unprotected when folded.
I have only tested it a few times and can't speak anything about battery time.
Hope this helps a bit.
And i had some experience with aliexpress. And the sellers that had a few reviews that i barted with have done their job. I haven't had any problem with them. Always got my goods, maybe quite late sometimes, but I got them.

Different tablet, different size, etc. There are a lot of factors that can determine it. The blatantly obvious one would be that the Nexus 7 is 7' not 10 with the iPad.
I'm interested in one, however I'm waiting for reviews to appear. If it turns out to work great, I'll get one to take notes in class with.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I'm certain this will be an I/O giveaway just like the white version of the nexus 7. Whether they bring it to retail on the Google play store is unknown.

I/O tickets were expensive and were sold out instantly... they deserve a unique giveaway at least

White Nexus 4 pictures go back to earlier this year. Typically white Nexus devices have been special give away releases only, not for sale.
One thing I didn't like about past white Nexus phones, was that the front was still black. So with case on it, could never tell it is a white phone. Why not make it white all around like Samsung or Apple does, do then with a white case on, still looks white all over.

+1 for black!

Eeeeeep, the white looks hot. But given the theories mentioned, I can't imagine how I'll ever get my hands on one lol.. Without the crazy assed prices, of course.

The price for an I/O ticket is pretty much the price for all the hardware you receive there as "gifts".

Even if it were real I wouldn't buy it. The black just suits the design a whole lot better.

i think there wont be a white nexus 4

Yeah, I'm betting on it being an I/O gift, and that's it.
Might find a few on eBay later, but they'd go for a pretty penny, I'm sure.
There was also a white Nexus S, and I believe it actually was sold at retail IIRC
EDIT #1: Yup, a quick Google search confirms my memory isn't going bad [source]
EDIT #2: Looks like there was also a white Gnex that was available at retail as well. Hmm, maybe this white N4 might be available to buy afterall, if history repeats itself.
