Nillkin TPU Case Review[i9023]

I was going to get the mercury case, but from pictures it was way too thick for my liking so I decided to get this case. The case is titled to be silicone, but it doesn't look like silicone from the pictures so I emailed them and they said it was silicone material so I went for it. I received the case and it turns out it was a TPU case. This case feels REALLY thin for a TPU case so it doesn't add much bulk to the phone. This case is tailored to fit the i9023 so ALL cutouts are perfect and fit is perfect as well. Overall, if your looking for a good TPU case which doesn't add much bulk to it I would recommend this. I don't have a mercury TPU case to compare it to, but I'm really happy with how this turned out. The only con that I would have for this case is that the volume rocker buttons were a bit tight so it would be easily be pressed, but if you stretch the case a little it will fix that issue.

I got this case from Here. It took exactly 2 weeks to arrive and customer service is spot on.

Nice. Would have gotten it if there wasn't a hard nilkin case.

Magnets on Case?

So i'm super protective about this tablet, so much so that I've had it for about a week but haven't really used it because I don't have a case Lol. I wanted a magnetic case for the sleep/wake function however I'm a bit wary about them. Don't magnets cause havoc on electronics, or electrical devices, or is that just a myth?
I want a sleek looking, sturdy case for everyday train commutes, that also works as a stand. Must be available in the UK :good:
Also looking for a screen protector. However, is it really necessary, for normal finger use? Lol

It's a myth, a strong enough magnet near a magnetic storage device like a hard drive might do harm but the magnets used in cases for the N7 are far too weak to ever do that. They have to be weak so as not to put the device to sleep when you fold the lid back.

Magnets are a bad idea near the following:
1. Magnetic storage like hard drives and floppy discs
2. CRT displays
As you can see the N7 uses none of these, the only possible problem is the magnetometer (compass) may be offset while the case is on... maybe

and mechanical watch

This is a great case I use it and like it a lot.

just check out the reviews for newer cases. some of the early ones were a little too strong and turned off the N7 when the cover folded back.

I got one of the Ultra Slim Smart Leather Cases off ebay (sorry can't post link as new member)
It's ok. The one issue I have with it is that it's actually a bit fiddly to get the Nexus 7 out of the case. The magnet works well though and have had no problems with it.

All these cases seem to bring the same thing to the table in my opinion.
Cheers, FReaKRaNT

Magnet works.... Except compass....

Most cases on the market have this feature (the ones with the flap etc, normally with horizontal viewing possibilities)
Plenty of them around, found a v. reputable seller on eBay selling a case, stylus and protector for £6.99
Look inside the store of "babz_media" (UK only, cant post links yet sorry)

decent deal, but that white surround is a bit much. looks like its really distracting.

That white is annoying and too thick tbh, I've got similar one but the sides are a little thinner

[Review] Moko Slim Shell Folio

While searching for a case that's slim, good looking, folio, and doubles as a stand I stumbled upon the Moko Slim Shell Folio on Amazon. Others suggested the Moko Slim Fit which didn't seem slim at all, and the Poetic case which I ordered first. I found the Poetic case to be unnecessarily thick on the back piece and it just felt cheap overall. Compared to the Poetic the Moko Slim Shell felt better made, the plastic case was noticeably thinner, and although similar to the Poetic in appearance, the subtle changes make it look more premium. Just like all other cases with a "smart cover" it doubles as a stand in two positions; a more laid back typing position, and a vertical position for watching movies or playing games. It triggers the sensor on the Nexus 7 perfectly to put it to sleep when closed and wake when opened. The previous version of the case had an issue where the device would go to sleep when folding the cover all the way back, but it has been revised and no longer suffers from that issue. Lastly the case comes with a lifetime warranty from BSCstore and at $15.99 it is almost $10 cheaper than the Poetic, so there is no comparison in my opinion.

Both reviews were regarding the problem that was fixed in the revision.

Lifetime warranty they say so it doesn't matter, if you have a problem you just get another.

It does look good, the price seems to be fine... I'm just wondering if the front glass will get scratched in time from the metal thingy on the front cover..

That was my only worry but the magnet on the case part is slightly raised so the metal tab doesn't come into contact with the glass.

Bought this for my wife for Christmas. There was still an issue with the magnet turning the screen off when it was opened all the way. Emailed the original seller about it and they said it was a defective unit that was missing the shielding. They're now sending me a replacement for her, one for me, and gave me instruction on how to remove the magnet from the old one to use as an interim case while waiting on my replacements.

anyone get the speck case?

if so please post pictures as well as a review.
thank you

i Broke down and ordered the black one.. I will report back when i do

I'd love to see it too. I got the clear adopted case for my 5x.

It's totally worth the price. Below are some photos.
Slides in and put of pockets very nicely. Phone feels very slim even with this case on.
The rubber on the back helps you hold onto the phone when using it with one hand, and it doesn't get stuck on your pants pockets because it isn't too sticky nor is it a lint magnet.
Also the lip on the front of the case is stiff and high enough to keep the screen off the ground if it is dropped face first.
Also the buttons are very clicky which is nice. I had a spigen case on my nexus 5 and it ruined the feel of the buttons.

There's a video review on YouTube

A customer came in today with a speck on their gs6 and it felt great. Buttons were clicky and awesome. I hope the 5x is as nice

I will confirm that the buttons are very clicky. No much like on cheap tpu cases.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I ordered the black one because it bothered me that the whites were different shades of white

I received the black one yesterday. I ordered an el cheapo case for work from amazon but I hated it, the Speck case fixes all the problems I had with it.

Can you post a few pictures of the black one please? All reviews so far ive seen have been for the white one

The black one would obviously look best on the black phone. Not sure that model is as popular.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I have the white one on the black phone. Love it. I've always liked the Speck Candy Shell cases.

Mine will be the black case on a white phone

Case came in today... It feels great. I love it.. I dont see myself buying another case.. And im usually a 7-8 cases kinda guy

I would have bought the white one too but I'm a construction worker and my hands are always filthy. As a matter of fact, I would have bought the quartz 5X but went for the carbon one for the same reason. Black on black for me.

Same here this is the highest quality case I have ever had in a phone. I've had otterbox and spigen cases before but this is sooo much higher quality.
Now I know why most iPhone users have this case.

Q: Tech21 Evo check case

Was wondering if the above mentioned case has a slight sticky tacky feel to it which I like.?
I remember the Tech21 Mesh series ones on older Samsung devices had a wonderful slight tacky sticky feel to thier edges of the cases. Thanks.

It does slightly but if you have greasy fingers stay away

Cheers. Was looking for something with a slightly sticky tackey edges.
I think it was the Mesh series Tech21 I had for the S7 , edges were orange colored and had a slight sticky tacky feel to it.

I've been using this case since day one. I tried a few others, but keep coming back to it. It's a great case. I'm not sure about tacky, but it is not slick. I've never even come close to dropping my phone.
Just one word of warning. My wife got the white Evo Check, and the white yellowed pretty quickly. We just threw it away and got a cheap case on Amazon for her. My black case is still in perfect shape.

I primarily use a leather type folding case on the N8, but have tried a few regular cases which I find in all honesty uncomfortable to hold for long.
I find the edge tpu plastic or whatever it is hard to the touch. Was hoping to find a case that has soft compressible sides. The skins are soft and pliable but the edges are too thin for protection.

Note8 Tech21 evo check users, can help see if your case inside edge facing screen near top of power button is there a small extra protruding bit? Wondering if mine is defective. Thanks. Mine is black case, also tell me if yours is black or white.

I find the plastic injection faulty in these cases, UAG cases are by far, better built
