Has anyone gotten one of these? I've been tempted to order one but wanted to see if anyone could share an opinion on it. It looks pretty slick for $15.

I bet it would interfere with the NFC chip because it's conductive. It does look pretty cool though.
Hmm that does look nice. Might replace the cheap eBay TPU case I currently have
Does any case work with nfc? I have to take my moko leather case off to use it. I don't care since I only wanted to spend the free $10 but I thought pretty much no case would work.
At that price, I wouldn't be surprised if the "aluminium" part is really just plastic with a brushed metallic-looking coating...something that you can see on some Galaxy Nexus cases and battery covers. If it were really aluminium I'd imagine the case would have to cost over $20. Also it looks like the carbon fiber insert is exactly in the spot where the NFC chip is, which might be their way of letting the NFC chip work through the case.

It shouldn't be plastic, the description states:
soft-coated Anodized Aluminum hard shell
...anodized aluminum shouldn't involve any plastic, and if it does they are grossly mis-representing their product. Which isn't like Poetic. They are actually a pretty decent company, that cares about the opinion of their customers. I had to deal with them when they first released their leather cases and were having magnet issues. Their customer service is top notch.
Regardless, I'm ordering an element case today. I'll let you know how it goes.

I have a tag in my car, behind the plastic in the console, and can beep it through that plastic, and through a folded over moko slim fit case. Thats like half an inch total almost of penetration.. That's weird that you have to take your case off.
The nfc may... go through this aluminum. If it was steel there'd be a less likely chance.

I ordered this case yesterday- it looks really nice and very reasonable at $15 for a metal case.
My update today lists "Wednesday August 29, 2012 - Tuesday September 4, 2012" as my delivery date range.
Don't know if the aluminum case will effect the GPS- but I guess I'll find out soon enough

Bonus :good:
Got my case yesterday- it's plastic with a large aluminum insert. So- it's not all metal. It's really plastic w/some metal on the back.
BTW- it's only a cover for the back of the N7 not the front.
There's some photos of the case (white version) here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856371

That's kind of a bummer. They really should be more up front about that. It doesn't state anything about plastic in the description. Glad I didn't order yet.

Yeah- I really don't see how they can claim "soft-coated Anodized Aluminum hard shell" when it's a 100% plastic shell with a thin aluminum billet simply glued on to the center back side of the plastic cover. Inaccurate advertising to be generous!
At least shipping was free- but I requested a RMA because it is not a "soft-coated Anodized Aluminum hard shell" at all- it's cheap plastic.

Possibly- but it would most likely leave a sticky glue residue behind. If you've ever seen the way they attach the metal engraved nameplates to the marble base of trophies- that's how the aluminum plate is attached to the plastic cover- some sort of glue that's bonded to the metal- then pressed on to the plastic for a (semi) permanent bond.
$15 seems a bit steep for a simple plastic back cover for the N7...
Here's my first look of the Poetic Element case:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrmfbKQ--3Q&feature=plcp
I really like the functionality of the Poetic Slimline case for my Nexus 7. The tri-fold cover, magnetic closure, light weight and thinness are great. What is not so great is the quality of the materials and construction.
Has anyone found a case of similar design and functionality, but of better quality? Real leather, better fit and finish? Anything better out there?

I am wondering the same thing. I am going to be getting a nexus 7 soon so I have been trying to pick out a case. I like everything about the poetic slimline except all that is holding me back is all the reviews talking about the poor build quality and it falling apart.
The Nillkin leather smart case is another one I'm looking at that's similar, here it is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1884539
Also here are a few others that you can take a look at...I still have yet to decide which one I'm going to get
Speck fitfolio

MoKo slim-fit case

I have the Poetic case and it serves it's purpose but once I bought the Speck FitFolio I was completely happy. It's worth the few extra bucks without a doubt.

I too have Poetic Slimline, and I have not liked the build quality from the first time I laid my eyes on it on Xmas day.
The Speck case looks a lot better, but I would prefer the magnetic latches of the Poetic over the manual latch of the Speck. Other than that, the Speck would be a no brainer.
The Moko also looks like it has a few straps that would anoy me.
I literally want a non-crappy built Poetic Slimline and I would be happy.
i say get the nillkin, exotek or MoKo.
(ive got the MoKo)
One interesting thing about the Moko, it looks like you might be able to slide it into a dock while leaving it in the case, but that would need tested. You would just let the flaps lay behind the dock if they would bent correctly without interfering.
I just ordered the Speck about an hour ago.

Can you do a video review of this?
I am very skeptical because the Poetic Slimline use external magnets on both sides of the case to keep the cover closed because if they only have magnets on the cover, it will be too strong and will turn off the device when the cover is flipped to the back. And if the magnets on the cover is just right, then I really doubt it will keep the cover closed which will be a problem because when it flaps around it will keep turning the screen on and off...
Otherwise this look exactly like the Poetic Slimline but even smaller. (Doesn't mean it is better quality though).
Really interested in a review of this.
So are there actually any covers that are not leather, but rubber exterior? Something like these: https://www.hammerheadcase.com/
I don't get all the complaints about the poetic quality. Had mine for 2 months and its still perfect.

Look at Devicewear's The Ridge, and the Speck FitFolio, or the Incipio Slim Kickstand Folio
I also backed out from ordering a poetic slimline case because of some of the quality issues shown in the customer uploaded images on Amazon. Glue issues, fraying, etc... I'd also recommend against the trifold cover design as it is definitely more prone to toppling over.
If you want something similar and maybe a bit better for typing and other such use, the nicest I've seen was the Incipio Slim Kickstand Folio, but it isn't the most available case around. The good news is, it's basically the same case as the Speck FitFolio or Devicewear's the Ridge.
Speck's a more widely known brand, but I saw a few FitFolios, in a couple of stores, showing wear along their corners while still on shelves. The vegan leather material seemed a bit like an eraser from the ones I felt. I also didn't care for the harbor blue color when it came to the poly-shell against the color of the device, especially since it doesn't fully cover the back of your N7. I also didn't care for the clip, not that it doesn't have some use.
I went with Devicewear's The Ridge option myself. It's very slim. It has full shell coverage for the back of the N7 with holes for the mics (wifi). I believe there are three color options available. The outside leather is a bit less soft than the FitFolio, and it uses a soft stap to stay closed instead of a dangling clip. The sleep function works when it's supposed to, and doesn't when it's not supposed to.. I felt like I was taking a slight chance with it because a lot of the reviews seemed fake, but so far its been a very good case.
Don't sell the Poetic Slimline short
Gotta be honest, been using the poetic slimline case for a couple of weeks now, and I must have got insanely lucky or something, becase I really dont have any complaints. Doesn't really add much heft to the device (I came from an HTC flyer, and even with the case this is slimmer and lighter than the flyer was bare) provides decent protection, doesn't get in my way, and (after trimming a few little threads off the cover with a razor knife) has continued to look awesome regardless of my poor treatment of it. I think cases are up to personal opinion in the end, but I for one will certainly not complain about the poetic. Just another opinion.

It's smart. It's the case I use. Pleather covered cheap metal (my guess, could be plastic) that grips the Nexus in 6 places, the corners and midpoint of each short side. You slip the tablet out of the 2 bottom most corners and then sit it one of the slots in the lid of the case to use it like a stand. Pretty much how all of this sort of case works. But no it's not as thin as a true smart cover lid. OTOH the lid has a lip that clips over the Nexus to keep it closed and is thicker offering more protection and even an elastic grip to hold the tablet in portrait orientation.

Agree with your assessment of the images. Hopefully someone will order one and post better pictures.
I'd buy one, but I live in an area where I get 2-3 bars. That case would put me into permanent roam.
I don't think it is much different than the gs2 model, as it's just a simple 2-piece frame. Somebody - who ridiculously tries to assemble it with one hand, while shooting the video with the other - posted a Youtube video. I cannot paste the link as I'm a new member.

doesnt really look like a good design.
the holes around the headphone jack and the microusb port seem to be smaller than the holes in my ebay bumper case. given that my ebay bumper case stops me from using a lot of headphone cables and microUSB cables, i would assume this case would be downright silly for the price.
I don't like it....
.I bought this case for s II and note...but design for note 2 is failed
Metal bumpers for Note 2 are terrible designed because Note 2 is too curvy compare to other phones and the bumpers usually does not fill in the gaps of the curve back, and usually at the same level without raised edges to protect the back from scratching too.
A no no for me since I tried with a cheap bumper case from eBay

Sorry guys, maybe I don't get this, but wouldn't any metal bumper case be only for looks and not protection? Edges of the phone, when dropped, are the most vulnerable points, and slapping on it a tight fitting metal will just transfer the shock instead of absorbing it to protect the phone. Am I missing something? These bumpers don't look like hollow metal tube with a "crumble zone" and inner soft lining. It looks awesome as hell, original for sure!!! But with additional weight to our phablet and what seems to be like a slick grip-less sides - wouldn't you worry that phone will be even more vulnerable to drop out of your hand/pocket with a higher chance of damage? Of course, I'm looking more from a practical point of view, while missing the whole pimping aspect of it lol!!!

Since the aluminium bumper is mainly one solid piece with a smaller one on top it acts like a strong exoskeleton taking all the force. For me the importamt thing is to have big enough cushion inside in order to avoid getting the phone in direct contact with the metal and also big enough lips to protect the front amd back.

Ok so I absolutely cannot stand the glossy back on this phone. I mean, it looks nice... if you never touch it. But man the smudges... its just terrible. That being said I am looking for a case, but only to get rid of that. I usually don't get cases because they add bulk, that is why I am in search of a super thin one. So, case suggestions for Verizon G2, hit me!

The Incipio Feather Shine is also great. I have been using it for almost a week now and have had multiple people tell me that they didn't even know a case was on the phone!

Can always sand the back cover (there's a thread somewhere) or get a skin if you don't want a case.
I have both the incipio feather and diztronic and the incipio is the better of the 2 imo but the diztronic will offer alittle more protection.

I just got the Incipio Feather Shine and it's too slippery for me. I had a Feather before and I liked the tackiness. I can't stand the Feather Shine. What's the best case that's tacky like the Feather and is slim and just barely covers the phone.
I just got my matte black Diztronic. I can't imagine anything being thinner than it. It's pretty grippy, too.

I had a matte black TPU case for my HTC Inspire back in the day that I really liked, it was only like $5 too! I could never remember what brand it was though. I know it wasn't Diztronic (they have their logo on all their stuff right?), but when I searched for TPU cases for my GNex they looked closest to it.
Anyways yeah the TPU case I had was pretty thin, I think I am gonna try the Feather though and see how that goes. :fingers-crossed:

The Diztronic cases are TPU cases and like all TPU cases, adds a decent lip around the edges of the screen = nasty.
The Incipio Feather is the best slim case around. I have a feather case on my wife's iPhone, my old Gnex, and new G2. It is made up of top notch material that won't flake off the coating and is very durable.
I honestly can't recommend any other slim cases. And don't go for the Feather Shine or whatever... just the plain jane Feather. I got the Blue one from Verizon. They are like $18 on Amazon. Walmart also carries them. Pretty popular cases.

Also have the Matte Black for the VS980. I usually hate cases but this one is pretty thin and has a slight lip on the front to help keep the screen from resting on anything. I love the grip and the way the case feels and like most says it easily slides in/out of pockets.

They look exactly the same as the Feather (but cheaper).
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Palette-case-Sand-Black/dp/B00ED2DVZ2
Poetic also uses cheaper chinese plastics compared to Incipio, so you get what you pay for.
Also that case is not specific to the Verizon model. It appears to a be overall generic LG G2 case because of the additional unused microphone hole found only on the AT&T. Also the cutouts won't match the Verizon's smaller buttons.

I just don't get why Speck does not change the materials ...
you might want to change the title from CandyShell Grip to just CandyShell. I thought you were referring to the other ones. But yeah the Speck cases hold up good, but the back looks like hell. I have one on my LG G2 and was going to try one for the M8.
Just don't like how slippery they are if your hands are wet/sweaty, hard to get a good grip on the phone. I'm interested in looking at the Speck Grip Candyshell case but don't think there is any yet for this device? I have the incipio duo case which is great but again slick on the back so not a good gripe when hands are a bit wet/sweaty. Only grip on this "flashy" looking cases.

The richest part is I saw an Incipio case yesterday with the same semi gloss plastic back and it came with a screen protector for the back of the Incipio case. When your case needs a screen protector wrap to remain in good condition I think it's time to move to another material.
But on the flip side, those particular cases to take a beating. All our users that keep their phones in them never seem to come back with broken phones.
