Has anyone received one of these yet? Can you confirm whether or not it covers the usb port and headphone jack?

Well you thought wrong. The pictures don't match the descriptions claims & the pics date from pre release so are probably for a different model.

If you look at the picture, you'll notice that the device they are showing it with is a Kindle Fire with a Nexus 7 screen photoshopped onto it or running an ICS/JB ROM. It looks like it would NOT cover the USB port, but would cover the audio jack.
I was thinking of trying This because it has the automatic sleep/wake sensor at a great price. Only problem I have w/ it is it looks a bit bulky.

I found a phone number for them & the chap promised that all ports are accessible. He said it was a photoshopped image because it went up before the Nexus 7 was released. He said he had received his Nexus 7 this morning so I'm going to assume he knows what he is talking about. I placed an order anyhow so we'll see when it gets here.

Perfect Fit
Hi, I can confirm (as the seller of the product) that all ports are uncovered and the case is the perfect fit for the nexus 7.
Regards,
Parm
Laptop Kit
My case arrived this morning, but alas, my N7 didn't. Ordered 28 June.
The magnetic closure seems to work, and is not too strong.
I received my case this morning. It fits my Nexus 7 perfectly. All ports available & the smart sensor (yes I know it is a magnet) is working 100%. Not bulky like I thought it would be.
I'd totally recommend this. For the price it is top notch. :good:

First of all, sweet username.
Second, is the lid held shut magnetically when it is closed?
Third, has anyone ordered one of these in the U.S.? Laptop Kit has a new store on the American version of Amazon, but I got a little nervous when it said it was shipping from the UK. I was wondering what other sort of fees I might be facing.

Yes it is held shut magnetically. And it is completely secure. If I wave it around upside down it doesn't show any signs of opening.
If you go through the checkout process on Amazon.com it will estimate the duty due (if any) according to this page. Under Import Fees Deposit

Yes it is. I mostly use it like that, as my main reason for getting it was as an ereader.

I just got this one as wel off the seller on eBay (Carbon Fibre version). Fantastic case for the price, and really happy that it has a smart sensor magnet that works perfectly.
I'm still able to fit the Nexus 7 in my jeans pocket (side and back) with the case on, so it's not too bulky.
Dirt cheap but cutouts are all in the right place, the device is a snug fit and it magnet thingy too!

This question is subjective. Like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I am sure you have seen the myriad of threads and posts about cases. Have you seen them?
Is this your first tablet? If not did you use a case with your previous one? And were you happy with it?
Are you curious about a certain case? What makes you ask the question, really...I mean your answer is out there. In other words, the answer you seek is the one you answer yourself.

This thing is my favorite, personally. It's cheap. Durable as hell. Wakes and puts the device to sleep with the flap. Can be turned into a stand, and it don't look half bad. :laugh: It's all your choice, but I would look at this one if I was you.

Too soon to call it bro, it also depends on your price limit.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Soooo many case threads... maybe there should be a "which case is worst" thread. Don't like the one I bought on Ebay here. The fit in the portrait direction is not great, slides up and down about .25", so the camera gets covered easily. Also has no hole for the side mic, so mic pick up is questionable. Also the thickness of leather prevents a finger slide right to the edge of the screen. No auto-off. I wouldn't buy it again or recommend it to anyone.
It absolutely depends on whether a case offers functions or features that would give you more opportunity to use your tablet.
I typically get cases for my devices so that I am not as concerned about breaking it while out and about. I am also often in situations where it is best to be discreet about using an electronic device.
Something else to consider is how the case will impair the experience of using your device as opposed to having no case on it. One of my biggest gripes with cases in general for touchscreen devices is how many of them encroach on the screen surface, so I go for the usually higher cost cases that put more thought into how the device is secured into the case without putting anything on the screen surface. When I say that they encroach on the screen surface, I do not necessarily mean that they hinder viewing, but that they cover the unused edges of the screen, and that happens to be where I prefer to grip with my thumb, and I prefer the feel of the glass under my thumb rather than leather, cloth, microsuede or whatever else.
Those are just my personal rules when hunting for cases for my devices.
This case almost makes it, if only the back was black, and that stand popped off.

I have that case...and the revision of it.
First case that I received had a strong magnet causing my Nexus 7 to go to sleep mode when the front cover is folded to the back of the case.
The second cover that I received today had no magnet (or a weaker magnet). The smart cover sleep/awake function is nonexistent.
Also the stylus holder is blocking the volume buttons. This issue actually is for both versions of the case.
Despite the lack of the smart cover function, I'm going to switch between the latest revision of the hardback case that I just got today and the official Google case....for now.

I hate to revive an old thread, but DODOCASE recently released their Nexus 7 HARDcover and it's definitely the one I'm eyeing for my upcoming Nexus 7 purchase.
I can't post links yet but search for:
dodocase nexus 7 hardcover
BlueRex is pretty legit.
I made a video review for it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBjNpG95Zu0&list=UU25TmsJidl31Hbf5PVckK8Q&index=1&feature=plcp
Well, got my DODOcase in the mail today. It won't shield your Nexus 7 from large amounts of physical abuse, but I got it so I can put my tablet down without having to worry about scratching it up. There is indeed a magnet embedded in it to turn the tablet on when you open it, off when you close it.
I would post a picture, but I am not allowed by the forum software.
Maybe an attachment will work?

That seemed like it devolved into a patent argument. I will answer questions there too though.
Question: if you flip the cover all the way back, does the magnet turn off the screen? Thanks.
How does it fell when holding it? As in, with the cover folded back does the thick side feel strange? Do you trust the adhesive? How thin is it when closed? How well does the stand work on a normal desk surface?
Thanks!

Without question. There is no way the tablet will come out without some serious force (not so much it does damage if you do want to remove it fthough).

I am assuming you mean setting it on its side in land-scape mode? That is the one thing that is a little weird. From what I see on the site, you basically but the elastic band underneath the opposite end. It keeps it up-right, but there is not much room for adjustment. I don't use tablets in that way very often though.

I should clarify that that actually works well for me.
I just got one of these DODOcases and I'm really impressed with it. The adhesive is surprisingly strong, once you have the Nexus 7 in place it does not budge a millimeter. I'm very partial to the low profile that this case offers. The 'smart cover' functionality works just as expected. It's not going to give you an Otterbox level of protection, but it should be enough do the job in preventing damage if you were to accidentially drop it in a normal day-to-day situation.
It's not quite as comfortable to hold with the case as it is without, particularly in landscape mode. That's to be expected since I feel that one of the real strengths of the Nexus 7 was how comfortable it is to hold, and with any case you're likely to give up a little bit of that. It feels like you're holding a small hardback book, and that's not an unpleasant feeling. The adhesive is so strong that I might be more hesitant to remove the Nexus from the case as often as I might with a different case, but that might be a good thing. The only other drawback to the case is that the stand functionality that the case offers is pretty limited, and as a result it doesn't support very good viewing angles for landscape mode viewing on a desk or table top. If they marketed a stand to go along with the case they could probably do some business.
The aesthetic touches do have a nice emotional resonance for me, it really does add a classic 'reading a book" feeling to using the Nexus.
All in all I'd give it a 9/10

I don't use facebook lol oh well. going with treegloo
I picked up a Dodo hardcase for my N7 yesterday straight at the HQ. It's pretty awesome all around.
Adhesive is strong and as was said previously, the device doesn't move a mm. That said, the power and volume buttons are awkwardly positioned because they are slightly set back from the edge of the tablet so you need to sort of wedge your finger under (not far) to push them. The landscape stand works pretty well using the elastic band and clips but the angle is not adjustable. Folded back the device feels good in the hand and the magnet doesn't affect the device improperly when in the fully open position behind the tablet.
The look and feel of the case are very high quality and I love that it's made start to finish here in SF. I got a little tour of the factory, which is probably smaller than you imagine given the brand presence and there were some cases being assembled while I was in there. Everyone that I spoke with was super nice and you know this is a company that believes in their product and would stand behind it. It seems that they've come up with a great, innovative repurposing of bookbinding machinery.
Does the adhesive leave any residue on the back?

You prompted me to attempt to remove it for the first time. The answer is no residue whatsoever. However, that adhesive is really really strong. I unclipped the back panel from the screen on accident while pulling it up. No harm done it just pressed back together.

I'm not familiar with that game but I looked at it on the Play store. Not sure how well it would work? Can't see it being a problem though.
has anyone found (or have a link to) a nexus 10 case that does not have any magnets on it? maybe a case with a strap to keep it closed?
also, how about a usb keyboard case for the nexus 10 that doesn't have any magnets on the case either?
from what i've seen from countless searching, all of them have magnets for closure and for the auto sleep/wake function.
anyone?

Here's something to get you started

They are known for their amazing iPad cases. So I am sure that carries over to their N10 cases as well
Another. They are very high end and quality is top notch

Again, EXTREMELY popular with the iPad crowd. Their sleeves are the best you can get
The first two have the Sleep/ Wake feature even though they are not closed with magnets.

A round magnet within 6 inches of a internal defibrillator (ICD) which are always implanted in the abdominal cavity, will inhibit the device from delivering life saving shocks to the heart. In some cases, a magnet can completely turn off the device. Imagine having an ICD, using your tablet in bed, and falling asleep with the tablet on your belly. It is entirely possible that you will never wake up if it is an iPad 2 (they have round magnets for connecting to the iPad smart case) or you have a case containing magnets.
Just remember, Apple kills. GO ANDROID!!!

What are you talking about? It has those holes so when people are calling you can see directly into it. Those cut outs are where the name and accept reject text is. No need to flip it open! It has NOTHING to do with magnets inside it. It's just a hole in the cover to see who's calling.
It doesn't like this when you're getting a call.
Man, the Note 2 can't recognize you're using a cover. S4 can because it has an Hall Sensor (magnet) that makes the phone know it’s closed by magnets and it only lights up that part of the display so you can read notifications without removing it, Note 2 doesn't have that sensor, so it's pretty much useless to buy that kind of cover for a Note 2 in my opinion.
You can either search for that flip case with a a transparent front and cut out holes, or buy a normal flip cover, cut out holes where the answer options & name pop up.

It has holes for the area that lights up when someone calls. It doesn't need a magnet. When someone calls you with or without a case on the front that's where the information is displayed. So while it doesn't have a magnet and make use of the features, it doesn't need them for that case. I've seen a ton of people with that kind of case! It's to have a flip case and not have to flip it open every time you want to see who's calling. But i agree, there is no magnet. But this flip cover doesn't need magnets to be useful.
I got myself one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MERCURY-GOO...CASE-FOR-GALAXY-NOTE-2-II-N7100-/321157898786
it'll show who's calling and i just hit my home button to answer. As for the screen I used UCCW to make a notification type thing for texts/calls/mail/battery. I always wanted a flip case but I would like to know who was calling without flipping the case everytime.
