Cases

[hoosiermama2799]

I've had a devil of a time finding a case that I like. I originally got an i-Blason (Amazon.com: i-Blason The New Nexus 7 2 FHD (2nd Generation) Auto Wake / Sleep [Slim Book] Stand Case Cover (Elastic Hand Strap, Multi-Angle, Card Holder, Three Year Warranty) 16GB 32GB (Orange): Computers & Accessories) that I returned because the stand didn't hold the tablet up (it kept flopping over). I liked the style of i-Blason I had on my 2012 N7, so I ordered that (Amazon.com : i-Blason Google The New Nexus 7 2 FHD (2nd Generation) Slim Folio Auto Wake / Sleep Shell Stand case Cover with Elastic Hand Strap, Stylus Loop & Bonus Stylus (3 Year Warranty)-Black : Electronics). I liked it, but the case doesn't fold back flat, so if I'm reading or gaming or surfing, i had to hold it with both hands to get it flat against the back of the N7.

Soooo...I ordered the Moko case (Amazon.com: MoKo Google New Nexus 7 FHD 2nd Gen Case - Slim-Fit Multi-angle Stand Cover Case ORANGE (With Smart Cover Auto Wake / Sleep Feature): Computers & Accessories), and if folds flat. I've only had it today, but I do like this one. It folds nice and flat, has the stand that I like, and has a stylus holder. I may finally have a keeper! I like the quality, love the color, the stand is sturdy and it folds back nicely.

This one from Devicewear just showed up on Amazon.
Amazon.com: Devicewear Ridge Folio Case for Google Nexus 7 Version 2 (RDG-2GN7-BLK): Computers & Accessories
It might have the stand features you want.
It will stand in portrait if you just bend the back to form a 'Z' shape as you look at it from the top.

3. Poetic GraphGrip rubber wrap cover (for playing games and other minor uses) $2.95 shipped by end of month.

Nice deal. Amazon wants $11-13 (plus shipping [1]) for that TPU case now. Seems pricey for a piece of molded plastic, when a flip case costs about the same.

I received my Portenzo HardCase and promptly returned it after 5 days. It does not work well in the intellistand mode and the Nexus keeps falling off the adhesive. Also, the wireless charger does not work with it. It looks nice, but not my cup-of-tea.

Do any of these cases work with wireless charging?

A couple people stated in this thread that they've found wireless charging to work with the MoKo ultra slim. I would almost bet it would work with the Poetic slimline (my personal fav), since they are such similar cases.

 

[xweb10]

I ordered the Poetic Slimline. Hopefully it works with wireless charging.

Got the updated Poetic Slimline yesterday. As I was taking the old version off my Nexus 7, I swear the case was so tight the screen started to separate from the rest of the body. So then I took it off from the other side, with the folding hinge (or spine?). Definitely sticking with the newer version. Feels pretty much the same.

I noted that exact issue with mine, and have been keeping my N7 in the Moko case while awaiting a replacement. I have to wonder if anyone has/will actually damage their device extracting it...

I got the Poetic. I like it. Nothing fancy and it works with wireless chargers.

I know it's overpriced but has there been any update on the issues with the official 'Premium' cover? Amazon still lists it as being 'under review'.

 

[mysterygirl]

The official Asus Premium case is once again for sale by Amazon. I went ahead and pulled the trigger since I assume that means they have investigated the issue and have some satisfactory response or fix. I received the case yesterday and have no problems with fit. It's definitely more expensive than similar cases. But, in my opinion, the quality is also far better than what one sees with the many $10 cases available. I'll see how it stands up with time.

I ordered my Poetic September 1, I wonder why I've heard nothing about a replacement?

I'd originally ordered mine August 2, and had had direct (telephone) confirmation replacements were being sent out. I'm guessing they're not sending out replacements in the order in which the originals were shipped, so am giving it another week before recontacting them.

 

[bodum02]

I ordered thru Amazon. When I looked, it looked like they changed the style as well on the one I ordered. I wonder if I can contact the company directly.

Contact

By email or phone, they've always been very responsive. I'm pretty sure that "Smart Shop Online" (the Amazon storefront these are sold through) is a subsidiary of Poetic - or vice-versa. In either case, when I've contacted them in the past about orders I placed on Amazon they dealt with my concerns directly.

 

[bodum02]

Thank you! I've talked with them and sent pics of my receipt, etc., even a pic of my case so they can see the difference in the cases. They said they would answer within 24 hours because even the STYLING has changed since my first order on September 1 - just 3 weeks ago. Still no answer from them. I ordered a new one for my sister and thinking about 2 for grandkids with 2012 model. Love the case, not so sure about customer service since I've started this by leaving a message Sunday afternoon. But, we've passed that 24 hour mark and still waiting. Amazon gave me their phone number on Sunday. I KNOW I'm being antsy, but then again, maybe Amazon should be doing the calls since I did order thru them. Just a thought, I'll keep on waiting and buying more Geeze.. I guess we know WHO has the problem here?!?

Is there an actual defect with the case you bought from Amazon? Or do you just like the newer styling better?

That's the case I have. I had something similar from I-Blason for my 2012 N7, but didn't like it at all for my 2013. I returned it and ordered this one and really like it. I really like this type of stand, and like the stylus holder.
