Portenzo Case

Nothing will protect it from a 2 year old. Lol

Especially mine. He is a terrorist lol. As least I will be able to justify the purchase with my wife. I am quite looking forward to receiving this case.
 
Just received my email. My book case has shipped! Very excited!

Just ordered mine yesterday. Portenzo is actually in my back yard and I got to go down and meet the folks there. They are quite busy. They just moved into a larger facility. It takes some time to build them since they are built-to-order, BY HAND, and there are so many customization options. But I know it will be well worth the wait.

Waiting still sucks though.
 
Just put my portenzo on my 7 and wow is all I can say. I love this case. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a high end case.

Need the coupon code? Just chat online with Lea before order the Portenzo and ask about it.
I got 10% discount but need an effort a bit.
Hope this help.
 
Just ordered a BookCase from Portenzo, with an elastic strap. I am, however, a bit concerned. On their website, the strap is said to be "double glued." Can anyone with the strap comment on its sturdiness and longevity. For a $50 case, I don't want the only closing mechanism to rip off...

I messed with a strap while I was at Portenzo. I've got no worries about it. In college I used hardback sketch books with elastic closures. They're done the same way and they worked really well. I think the elastic is a more secure method than the magnets so it's what I went with.

Did the place smell like awesome? I can only assume it did

Here is the condition of my Portenzo Alano case. I throw it in my pack back and after 6 weeks it looks like it's taking a beating..

Looks like a nice, well-worn book :)

I just noticed that those of you with embossing got "Nexus 7". I'm just curious why not your name or initials?

Didn't really want my name on the cover in the event I wanted to resell. Not sure how much I can get for the portenzo case now since I dropped it and the wood Splintered on the corner. I wonder if Portenzo can put in a new wood piece.

Good to hear you are okay.

Wanted to add; I have been carrying my Nexus with the portenzo Alano cases to family events. And everyone was asking me why I was carrying a bible... Hahaha. I should have gotten the embossing in red.

Contact them and see what they say. They seem like a very good company. I would be interested in what you find out.

Are you referring to the video I posted? That's not me. :)

Mine is just going to be a BookCase. Judging by their production schedule, I'll probably receive it about the week of Thanksgiving. I hope to get it before Thanksgiving, then I can show it off at my parent's house.


... and thank you for the explanation on the embossing. :)

With as cool as Portenzo is, they might replace your case. Never hurts to try
