A case I ordered from taobao (pictures attached) - Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories

Here is a case that I ordered from taobao (a China online shopping website) . I live in Malaysia and ordered this case week, it arrived today at my office so I have decided to show you guys some photos of the nexus 7 with the case.
To my surprise, the case came with a stylus, a SP, an OTG and a pouch for cards (which I dunno what is it for)
It feels good in the hand and doesn't add too much bulk to the device imo.

yea it does. and i have just updated my post with the link

hi, I would like to know how long it took for your order to arrive, and how much it roughly is in RM?

less than a week. i asked some other 代购 to buy for me. inclusive of shipment is at around RM42.

Hi! This is using the normal shipping? because I live in Singapore and if I could get it in a week that would be awesome
Edit: does it also have a magnetic closure?
(E.g) the cover snaps close and won't open if the tablet is lifted upside down?

The displayed price is about US$9.50 (not mentioning shipping) but their are a couple of cheaper options listed below it. Reviews are very mixed but I noticed that an improved case may be on the way.

Yes there's wake lock function with the case.

One thing to keep in mind with that case is the micro USB cable that comes with the phone doesn't fit with that case on. My store sells them, try a vzw premium retailer (not corporate)

Thank you, I am using a verizon charger that i bought so it fits. I currently have the white one but I prefer black because I am a guy.
I called all of the local private retailers and none if them had it. Any suggestions?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Went to two verizon stores and bestbuy today... you'd think this phone hasn't been released yet. There is no sign of it. Same went for the wireless zone premium verizon retailer i bought it at. Needless to say there were no cases either.
I know, its horrible because of how much of a good phone this is.

Do you own the case? All my chargers work with the Pop case and ext battery except for one aftermarket usb cable, an older Verizon car charger is a snug fit but it actually guides it in perfectly.

FSRBIKER, the case fits with the extended battery/cover on LTE version?
could you post pics?
how the heck do you remove the case-mate pop?
It seems impossible to take off once put on.
I have the Lte version w/Vzw extended battery and have them installed on both my wife's and mine. She is out so no pics but not sure what you want to see, it just fits. Definetly makes the phone feel stronger as well. $16 at www.thecellguru.com

You may want to break your drill and punch a hole in the upper right back for the second microphone. That is what I ended up doing.
Case-mate should also have new cases with the hole opened by next month.

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

What a rip off
I'd rather get best buy protection and go naked with that price
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.

Dam, for $70 I would need a b...job with it. lol That is way to high for a device under $300. I'm sure it is awesome though.

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.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
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.

For the money it's not that bad. Mine is well made and the smell went away after a few days. I have two Roocases....the slim folio and the dual view.

Portrait view mode fails. I tired to get mine to work properly in portrait view and it would not work. It kept slipping down.

Too cheap, bad made, bad leather imitation, too thick, device doesn't fit well, stupid "addons" such as sd-card holders (for the card-less device!), ugly pen/stylus. And (as I've said) it smells like a "cancer greeting from China" - awful!
It was/is a decent cheap $3.00 case that I could get quickly. Serves the purpose until I convince myself to get ta Portenzo case.
I actually just got my case in the mail and I'm pretty happy with it! It does smell funny and the camera hole doesn't match up with the camera perfectly but for three bucks I'll live with it. I also add two pieces of velcro so I can have it in portrait mode without sliding.

I agree that its not a bad case for $3. Good first case while waiting for other better ones to come out, the smell also does go away.

Asus premium case available

Found a vendor on amazon selling the white version.

Here is the same in black:

So I've purchased a black one and will be doing a review of it when i get it later this week. It does not appear to have the magnetic auto wake function, as stated before by others do to the patent being held by another company.

For an offical case it's not pricey. Take the flip cover for the note 8. It's 50 dollars. Every offical case out there is double what the aftermarket ones are. If not more. I'm buying because it's the offical case so I'm already expecting a premium.

I just found out this case doesn't support auto wake/sleep feature
I mean come on Asus!!! for a $40 case you couldn't add a piece of magnet!!!
This case and the travel case are both just big fails. Although I don't mind getting ripped off on OIM cases but at least I want to get a "premium" case.

Ordered a black one at the end of August for 0.1 cent plus 4.95 shipping. Just ordered another..this time red 4.95 plus another 4.95 for shipping. Two cases for $15 total shipped is a great deal.
Nice find, thanks for sharing!! Just wish I could get it for $.01 and free shipping with Amazon Prime! That would be a sweet deal! I'm loving my all white Moko UltraSlim and my all white folio case that I only paid $1.79 shipped for that I won in an eBay auction, so I don't think I'd really ever need/use a 3rd case. Great deal for any one in the market for a case though!!
