Just got an email announcing that the "Nexus 7" tablet covers are now available for purchase & shipping from the Google Play store....
They've been for sale for almost a week now

$10.00 to ship a $20.00 item ???? I'll PASS on this one !!!!!
Wrong. They have been backordered until today.
Who cares anyways. I'm not paying $31.28 for a POS case without a smartcover.

How have they been backordered until today if I ordered mine around Wednesday I think and I just got the email today? And I've paid more for other Nexus cases, and its not like its $60.

Definitely an easy pass. Case isn't worth $20 itself, needless to say another $10 to ship it. What a joke Google...
Not to hijack the thread. Just a question for everyone. It has probably been discussed elsewhere but you all seem interested on the topic. I know people have discussed if Google was in violation of crapple's patent for the smart cover. Do you ever wonder if Google decided to launch the device without a smart cover in order to not draw attention to it to avoid a lawsuit knowing others would make accessories utilizing it? They could claim it was for a dock or something.
I know this is a stretch, but how else do you explain such a pointless accessory? Also I know the Apple patent was very specific to the actual smart cover and that Google will be fine.

Nexus label on the rear. I'll take it.
Thanks for passing, more for us who would enjoy it.
This isn't an iPad, enough of the smart cover bs. I paid 60 for a smart cover on my iPad, and it doesn't even protect it lol.

You'll take it back soon. The plastic is too flimsy and no smart awake. Waste of money.

the cover doesn't stay closed. if you drop it and the cover is open, the screen is going to get damaged.

What's that even supposed to mean? He said he knew it wasn't a smart cover.

I dont want it to stand up. I know its not a smart cover.
I want a thin case with a cover for the screen.
Seems like it should work for me.
Also I currently have a leather case that is smart and fits perfectly in.... but I want it thinner.... And I can't get the "looks like a 15 year old nokia case" out of my head.:laugh:
The rubber rounds the edges and raises the screen. Good enough for setting it down and providing some defense from casual tumbles from the bed or couch. I don't want a smart cover, I use a password every time and the button is right there. Why do people always find stuff to complain about, instead of ways to enjoy what you just bought. There will always be something better, find what works for you.

Brand new Portenzo Hardback case. This was just released and is currently on sale for 2 days only @ $19.95! Watch the video for a demo of the super stick grip tape.
I'm still a very happy Portenzo BookCase customer. their quality and customer service is outstanding!

I ordered one. I'll post some pics next to the bookcase when I get it.

I have the BookCase and I'm thinking of ordering one of these too. I need to stop this case addiction!
It's nice but there's no way to make this stand right?
Sounds right. No stand.
Looks a lot like the Dodo Case to me.
Ordered one. All black with a red elastic strap. Thanks!

It does, but the Dodo is way more expensive and only available in 4 colors. Portenzo has a better reputation, less expensive and way more colors to chose from. Looks like I am buying another Portenzo today!
I will post pics when I get it.
Was liking it until I saw the adhesive approach to securing the device. Like everything else about it - moleskine type design, quality materials.
Anyone have any experience with the sticky pads?
Do they leave any residue if you remove your device?
I'm assuming they are a one time use as well?

If it's anything like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008A1XN28/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
Then the "sticky" is extremely sticky!
Enough so that when I tried to remove the N7, the back cover came off the tablet!
I don't mean that in some awful "it broke!" way...it's just that the adhesive is stronger than the tablet's back cover retainers.
So if you were scared to pry open your N7 with a screwdriver...this is an alternate way to open it.
But if you're careful and go slow, the tablet comes off and there is no residue.
The adhesive can be wiped down with water and when it dries, it's good to go!
I tested the case on my N7, then put my Galaxy Tab 2 7" in it, then back to the N7.
Since the Portenzo costs more than twice as much...I'd hope their adhesive is just as good if not better to work with than the $9 case!
Ordered mine yesterday in firetruck red! Pretty excited about this. I was looking for something classy but with thin profile so Bookcase came close but this hardbook was a better fit for my needs.
Does anyone now how long it takes for them to ship? Happy Friday all
I wonder how the quality compares to the dodocase.

I have the casemate tuxedo for the kindle fire using the sticky pad. It's re-usable and does not leave a residue. I sent my first kindle back and got a replacement from Amazon, no issues re-applying the pad on the replacement, just as sticky as the first time.
cant make it stand though, so a big nono for me
was going to wait till i got home to order but byt he time i did the price was back up to 39.99 :crying:
Looks like a good alternative to the Dodocase! I managed to place an order before the sale ended too. At $19.99, it was too good of a deal to pass up.
I just ordered mine (yes I know I said it looks like the Dodo but I couldn't help myself). And it was still 19.99 only I ordered the composition which added 9.99.

Check out the Ifixit teardown. This thing is impossible to repair, I think.
Doesn't HTC just send you a new one for warranty issues?

My point was that it is more feasible to replace the device as a whole than open it up and repair it.
OP, a quote from Ifixit: "The display assembly cannot be replaced without removing the rear case—this will make the most common repair, a damaged screen, nearly impossible."
Link to article: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/HTC+One+Teardown/13494/3
Sorry, but I feel like they would fail to fix the screen.
HTC have said the H1 is highly reparable and was designed with repairs in mind, but they say you need a special tool that only HTC has.

I have both defender and commuter..but i prefer the commuter since its have quite thick and soft rubber if compare to defender which have thin and hard rubber (not good to absorb impact) plus the hard poly plastic and aluminum i dont think they are good when mix with each other. Easy to scratch the aluminum body. The hard case, i observe is too tight (prone to scratch the alu body) when i put my H1 inside it, feel very solid, but i really afraid if it fall down, then plastic and its thin rubber unable to protect it from impact..i do try search if anyone had done any drop test using the defender or commuter with no prevail..

If you send it into HTC, they will send you a quote on how much it costs to fix. It'll probably be around the same price but this time, HTC will be doing it

Stop trying to save 30 dollars and get HTC to replace it. You will kick yourself when you get your phone back and the case is mangled because third party repairs don't have the right tools to disassemble the phone.
I have a TPU case and so far I've done great in terms of drops. At least one face down drop from three of so feet off the ground.
Not trying to save anything but if HTC does it I'll be out a phone for 10 days plus cost. That's probably what I'll have to do tho. The cs guy said they may discount the repair due to the circumstances.
Get it done from HTC. With local places you need to consider not only might they do a crap job but they also might use cheap unofficial glass which is more prone to smash again, my friend recently had that problem with her Nexus 4 repair.
I decided to just file an insurance claim 200$ witch means 400$ in less than ninety days on this phone fml.

i'm looking at a $200 claim less than a week after getting mine. first time i've cracked a phone since my iphone 3g.
i'm gonna try to get a gs4 back instead, i can't have a device that literally glides on surfaces. i didn't drop the phone it slid from my lap to the concrete. that's some ****ed up **** to have to deal with for the premium of "aluminum casing" lmao aluminum comes on beer cans.
Anyone have it. Any thoughts on it.

I had it for a couple days and I really enjoyed it. The only reason I returned it is because it attracts my German Sheppard's hair like crazy...lol but you might not have that problem. Also, it doesn't protect that much but it sure looks good.

Is there a setting that makes it turn on when you put it on
Sent from my 831C using xda app-developers app
It is not as tight or secure on my phone as I thought it would be. Dropped from a couple feet and the phone popped out of it. I have one of the older gray ones. Anyone else have the same or different experience?
The flap would not close all the way because I already had a tempered glass on the screen. It is extremely hard to use with one hand. I tried really hard to like it because I personally think it looks nice, but had to return it for those two reasons.
I just bought mine today. I thought it was broke at first because nothing happened when I put the phone into the case. I turned off my lock, checked to make sure the app was installed. Then I remembered I have a tempered screen protector on. When I took it off, the case works just fine. I think I'm going to take it back because it provides absolutely no protection at all. It only works with HTC apps: no gmail, fb, hangouts, 3rd party sms apps...nothing other than HTC's apps. It looks good and it's a neat trick but for $50 I saw all I needed to see here.
I do really like the principle of the Dot View Case, however its the effort of one handed operation that is hampering the thing... Its not as if i have small hands either - at 6'3" i have absolute shovel hands and still struggle.
Unsure...
Case sucks

There is a magnet on the left side just above the middle that invokes the dot view graphics. You can try it on your M8 with a small magnet.

Love this case! So unique. Well i am done, you guys can continue nagging now.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using xda app-developers app
I really like the case and the idea of it, but it is slightly off for me. When it is closed, the case is a few mm to the left, so the dots aren't as sharp and more of a blur. If I push the flap to the right a little they line up perfectly. I don't have a screen protector. Does anyone else have this issue? Possibly a defect?
I don't mind holding the flap to use the phone as the phone is big enough that I pretty much need two hands to use it anyways. I will continue to use the case, but I may end up returning it before my 14 days are up if I don't fall in love with it. Right now the only thing really bother me is what I mentioned above with it being slightly off.
I have no interest on Dot case. And also don't have any one.
sending mine back. it's fun but not practical as it hinders one hand use impossible .

Fantastic contribution guys...!!!!! Really. Why did you bother wasting your energy posting?
Given the quality of the doubledip cases for M7, I wasn't expecting much in quality. I hope 3rd parties are allowed to do their own dot view. I've only seen S view type cases for the M8 right now.

Flip the cover around the back and one hand use is just fine- it may not wrap around the back perfectly due to the curve, but does not stick out enough to hinder one hand typing, browsing etc, unless you have smurf size hands....

Purchased the Dot View case from VZW originally, wasn't very happy with the Warm Gray color. Purchased the Warm Black Dot View case from the Shop Android part of the site and received it today, its the exact same color that VZW is advertising as warm gray, I was expecting a black case as depicted in the photos, the part numbers on the packaging are different, the VZW packaging has an HTC SKU 99H11530-00 and the Shop Android packaging has an HTC SKU 99H11416-00. I will edit this post with a photo in a little while but has anyone else found a similiar situation or has anyone received the shop android Warm Black case that can comment and/or share a photo to compare the Warm Black color? Thanks! VZW Warm Gray on the left and Shop Android Warm Black on the right...
Anyone interested in buying a case? I bought it earlier thinking I'd like it, but it just isn't for me. Instead of returning it to sprint, I'd rather sell it to someone who's had a hard time looking for one. PM me for details.

Looks like the code has expired. Just tried to use it and it isn't taking it anymore says it expired on the 16th. Hate I missed out.
Bought some when they were 90%. Got a bad batch and contacted customer service. They immediately sent replacements. It's still curing but I'm liking the look thus far. I bought the full body protection. I like how the back has a better grip now.
If anyone has a new discount code for these, please pass it on. Would love to try them out. Thanks.
Just got mine today, shipped to Sweden in about a week.
Bought 1 regular and one "HD" (dry install). Payed all together $2 (!!!) with shipping to Sweden.
Just applied the dry HD one, looks all right, but doesn't reach all the way out to the edges, missing 1,5-2 mm.
Got 2-3 dust particles stuck when applying, and all of them creates a small air pocket around it, that I hope will go away.
Gonna let it stay on for a while, and see how it works out.

Got two dry-apply screens for 80 cents!
I just needed the thinnest scratch-resistant screens to protect the Gorilla Glass of the M8. I'm putting the rest of it in a heavy-duty 2-layer silicone and polycarbonate case anyhow.
Just got a full body kit and hd protector for 1.30 thanks! I thought I'd get away form the Invisible Shields, and these look promising
Do I miss discount? Anyway, can someone who uses protector for back side can share his/her thoughts? I don't like screen protectors but I consider to buy protector for back side.
