Says available August 9th. Not bad for $5 as a temp case, but by then I'd expect to have a real case.
I've used Poetic brand and they aren't bad, but this version is the bottom feeder. Even at $5 it is a waste of money. IMO.

It was $40 earlier.

Looks like a good deal, at $5 you can't ask for more

There is also their slimline case showing up, I grabbed one as it was the case I most liked on my first gen 7

Not too familiar with amazon. It says it ships August 23, what's the chances of getting screwed, after that time are you still able to dispute purchases?

not to **** on the thread, but that looks like really poorly constructed leather.
instead of spending money on a case, this time i just spent $60 on a squaretrade accident warranty policy. I think the new nexus 7 is gorgeous and I couldn't bear to keep it behind a case.

Opinions! A few bucks for a cheap case will suffice for many until quality cases appear......at least for me.

Yea I agree the poetic slimline case looks great till I can get the official premium case.

I like the look and function of the poetic slim case, but can't wait until the 23rd for it to come in stock.
I'm thinking of just ponying up the extra for the Asus sleeve. I like the thought of having it protected in transport but using it bare. Using it at a stand is nice too.

I'd make sure that fits before you buy it. The Description doesn't list the new n7 which is Taller than the original. That is just a generic 7" tablet case made by Asus.

Poetic revolution case

Rumor has it that preorder will start tomorrow and the case will be available in about a month.
I have one of these for my original nexus 7 and its really good for the price. Just figured I'd pass on the info.

Im gonna have to pass. I made the mistake of buying the Slimline for my OG N7 and it was terrible. Left marks on the screen and practically fell apart. And I hardly even used the flippin case. Only put it on when I was traveling about. I had it for about 5 months, and by the 4rth month it was already fraying at the edges.

I had the same problems with the slim case. I have had the revolution for my nexus 7 for a long time and it's in Greddy shape.
BTW the new case is on amazon now for $20

Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2

FYI, Amazon Just Dropped the Price on this Cae Its now Only $14.99 Free Shipping! , BTW I pre-Ordered Both The Revolution and the Slimline, heck for $20 shipped on both, its bang for buck, I've had Poetic in the past, Quality is not the best but not the worst either;for me it's enough; I'm really careful with my devices I'll bet they'll last me!
PS. I trust My N4 with a Poetic Atmosphere.
Revolution Case Link---> http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-REVOLU...sr=8-1&keywords=poetic+nexus+7+fhd+revolution

Thanks for the update. Any idea how OK can get them to honor that price instead of the $20 I already ordered out at?
As far as the cases go I really, really like the one that I have for my nexus 7. I was looking for a defender case but I wasn't about to spend $70 on one. I haven't really been happy with defender cases lately anyways. After buying one for my note 2 I'll never buy one again.
The revolution case is defender like, can be had for less than half the cost and the button press is easy and it feels good in hand. I bought one of the first runs and it had the blurry screen protector. I contacted poetic and they sent me two replacements..... It took a month or so to get them made amnd to me but they made good. While I was waiting I just knocked the one out and installed a stock on one on the screen.
Anyways ever since I got the new front its been on, clear and nice and I don't think twice about letting my toddler use the tablet.

Awesome. I just checked my shipment and it looks like it was just shipped 12 hours ago even tho I got a email from amazon saying it shipped before that. Kinda bummed, I've been waiting a long time for this case. I've actually been using my old nexus 7 all the time just because I like the way it feels in my hand with the case on.
Looks like I'll be happy with the case when I get it tho.

Ordered one of these myself. Looked very decent. Been looking for something that has decent protection as my kids broke the screen on my first generation that I'm still trying to figure out what to do with. Estimated delivery date is Monday, however I'm doubtful as the tracking days it's been in San Francisco since the 19th.

Is anybody else's screen protector very cloudy? Mine is cloudy and has specs that kind of look like a screen protector placed on a dirty screen. This is the screen protector however, and not the screen being dirty.

Make sure you removed the plastic protector film on the outside as well as the inside of the built in screen protector.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

Much better thank you. It was the inside cover that I didn't know was there. There is some distortion, giving a rainbow like look, but that's something I expect I guess from a screen protector that is not adhesively bonded.

That rainbow effect never goes away either. My original nex7 case still has it. It's not bad once the screen turns on.
This case is way better than the original case. only thing I don't like is the horizontal stand, it leans back farther than the original nexus 7 case.

I go the email a little less than an hour ago. The email does state "Customers who have purchased our original version of SlimLine for Google Nexus 7 FHD 2nd Gen will be shipped automatically a FREE of charge replacement of our improved final version of SlimLine for Google Nexus 7 FHD 2nd Gen, without needing to contact us." I have to assume that means anyone who purchased it no matter where you are.

I understand that, but seeing that you received such a mail and I didn't, makes me think they might not be doing the same with international orders. Maybe, I should wait for some time, for the mail to arrive.

I see they just jacked up the price on the case. It's now $16.95.

I received the same e-mail this morning from Smart Shop Online through Amazon. The e-mail subject was "Feedback request from Amazon seller Smart Shop Online". I ordered mine from Amazon on August 12th through Smart Shop Online.
I think that these improvements are all going to be great for the case. The original was okay, but with the improvements it should be much nicer and more polished. I am still unhappy with the general feel of the case (The leather especially feels inexpensive to me), but I am very happy with Poetic in general for doing this for their customers. This is my first Poetic purchase, and I must say I'm very happy with them as a company!

I ordered mine when they first became available for pre-orders through amazon. I also haven't received an email.

I got mine from Amazon (sold by Smart Shop Online) around the 28th of August. No email about a replacement. Original order was Aug 18, out of stock, expected shipping Sept 3 or so, bit came early. No problems really except for the magnet "turn on" not working all the time, but if they want to send me a better one, I'll gladly accept.

You rock
Loved this case for the N4 gonna love it for the N5 I hope

I like that this case shows the nexus logo on the back of the phone.

I had this with my N4 but the buttons were too hard to press, then I sold my N4 and didn't keep up with the news, did they fix it?

Hopefully this one doesn't come with a billion weld/scorch marks.

Just wanted to mention that I ordered this yesterday. Even though the listing states in stock October 31st, I got a shipping confirmation today from Amazon.

Ordered yesterday too... Even if I still not decide about N5, shipping in Italy between 21-23 nov

This is the reason why I haven't ordered it just yet, going to wait and see the whole thing maybe in a video review before making the purchase, can't have my speakers covered.

Ermm.. I purchased this assuming it wouldn't ship until the Nexus 5 actually came out... It shipped out on Friday??? lmao... I hope they got the dimensions correct...

I think for Rearth, they just print/generate the shipping label in advance so it's ready to go out once the final product is done. I recall that's what happened with their Nexus 4 cases. But if the tracking number actually shows something is moving, then awesome!

I hope you're correct that they just generated the shipping label. I'd feel better if the case came after the phone was announced.

Replica official Nexus 4 Bumper for Nexus 5

I found this on Amazon, it's a Nexus 5 bumper, that's a replica of the official Nexus 4 bumper:

Has anyone here tried this case yet?

If it wasn't $23 I would go for it. That's too expensive for a bumper.

Looks awesome. I would certainly buy it, but since its a replica, its not worth the $20 to produce hence it wont last as long as I would like it to.

Overprice. Another month and it gonna be around $10

Its all over aliexpress for much cheaper. Like $3.50 to $15 depending on the seller and how many you buy. There do seem to be different kinds of bumpers on there for the nexus 5, and the nexus 4 clone is the more expensive one.

I don't think replicas are worth being over $10 before shipping. With it being a bumper and not a case, even more so.
For me, $8 - $9 with shipping included is probably the highest I'd go.

I got this in the mail from the amazon seller today. I'm very impressed with it. The buttons feel great and the texture on the rubbery parts is very grippy.
