New Poetic Slimline is worse then the original? - Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories

As you may have heard Poetic is sending out replacement slimlines to everyone who bought the originals.
I just received mine today and I feel it is a step down from the original.
Here are the points I noticed right away
The front cover is very stiff and not very flexiable (though I could assume over time it will loosen up
When folding the front cover flat againt the back of the tablet, it seems to put the tablet to sleep.
When trying to fold the front cover into the kickstand mode, the magnets do not hold up and the kickstand collapses.
There is a lot less of the microfiber material on the interior of the case now.(not a major flaw, just seems like a step down.)
Did I get a defective replacement? or did they just majorly fail with this new model?

How do you tell the new from the old? I just bought one from amazon and don't have any of those issues.

The original had 3 visible magnets on the edge of the case while the new one has 2

I agree on the micro fiber, its the first thing I noticed. The other points you make I am not noticing. I had no problems with the original.

hmm odd, oh well its still a free case. hopefully no one else has issues with the new model

hmm, I bought my case from an ebay reseller, I contacted him if I can get a replacement.
mine was the old version with 3 magnets I confirmed this.

I didn't receive the new one yet, but i have a question for the 'old' one.. Did the magnet wake/sleep function work for you? Mine seems only to wake 1/10 times and never puts it to sleep

mine was/is perfect.

I haven't received my replacement yet. I like the original. It wakes and sleeps fine, never had issue folding it back and sleeping. I think the closure is good and strong, I found opening from top edge, works fine though never had issues. I am glad it snapped in tight. I don't want it popping loose on it's own randomly. God forbid dropping it and have it pop out and fly across the room.

I'd love to see a comparison video of both versions. Maybe one of you guys who received a replacement wants to do one.

I like the new version. It feels more "sturdy". I have a dbrand skin on mine (just the back). The N7 doesn't feel loose in the case. Feels fine, but that may be because of the skin adding a little more tightness.

There's nothing to compare visually except the new one has 2 magnets not 3. They are functionally the same. Watch a video review of the original case and that'll suffice.

Give us an update about what kind of battery life you see. Also some pics would be appreciated.
I'm not inclined to believe the capacity claims, but if it at least offer close to 3000mAh that would be decent.

Update
Update on my experience with this case. I already tore the leather for the flip front cover, so to me that part is poorly made. I simply cut it off since I didn't want to see that tear all the time. On Saturday upon receiving this case I fully charged both my phone and the case and started using them both around 4 PM. With normal use for me the case died today around 10 AM and I have been running off of the phone battery every since.
I can't say that I'm going to use this case every day as it makes the phone a little bulkier than I would like, but for me, this case will come in handy more often than not. Overall, I am happy with my purchase thus far with the exception of the tear. We will see how it does after several charging cycles.
I'm not too much of a fan of flip cases. They conform you to use the device as a book or in landscape orientation. If they made a version that would flip upward like a traditional paper note pad as opposed to off to the side. definitely buy it if one was made like that. I wish mophie would make their charging cases for the note 2.

Sweet looking official accessories!

Stumbled over this a few minutes ago. They all look pretty amazing IMHO and it's kinda interesting that HTC will be shipping an external battery. Hope that's not an indication of poor HTC One battery life.

maybe im wrong, but i would guess that it's unlikely there will be any bumpers from main manufacturers considering the phone is very thin at the edges and also the fact that it gets narrower at the edges (ie. not constant thickness)
There doesn't seem to be any official pouch at the moment which is unfortunate. I like my phone to be nude when I use it but be protected in my pocket.

Bro, check on http://www.pdair.com they sell high quality leather pouches. I'm like you and I like my phone to be naked and only be covered by a pouch so that people can see the device I have (I know, it sounds kind of egocentric) but also, I like to see my phone as it is, without anything covering it except the screen protector
The products are in production and expected to be released soon, I will definetly get one from them
I'm really loving that HTC is putting out their own accessories as well, I'm personally getting the flip case.
I never use cases for usual usage, but I'd like to have a kickstand since I plan on also using this for a very tiny but very portable working/entertaining interface. Like I usually jot down a few notes about appointments and lectures, as well as I like watching stuff on my phone

flip one looks gorgeous but they should make one without kickstand. they'd be surprised if they know that not many people watch long duration videos on their phones.

Poetic Case

I just got off the Poetic Atmosphere Case website. They posted this Update:
We are aware the issue of IR Blaster is being blocked. Update version will be released and ship on May 13th. on the official site so I have no doubt that the ones shipped out from Amazon will be the same and if they aren't Amazon is great at sending out the replacements to your order for free if the manufacturer messes up.
http://www.yourpoetic.com/p/435/poetics-atmosphere-case-for-the-htc-one-m7
I was waiting almost a month for this case after pre-ordering it from Amazon UK. I was drawn by what looked to be a good design that complemented the aesthetics of the phone. However, decided to cancel my order last week, when Poetic missed their estimated dispatch date. The OP's post explains why Poetic seem to be repeatedly pushing back their 'stock expected' date.
One question I have is...How can a case designer mistakenly overlook the IR blaster when it functions as a vital power button too?
Ended up buying an Otterbox Commuter. Pleased with it.
Currently interchangeably using HTC One, BBZ10 and Note 2

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
They overlooked the IR function, not the power button itself. The current design is opaque over the power button but works just fine as a power button. The new version will either have a cutout for the power button or have a clear button so the IR can pass through. I am hoping for the latter, but either way should be good.
ordered one a few days ago, they changed the date to may 13th as well.
wonder what they are doing with the cases they have already made, i would be willing to buy some for cheap as
i never use the ir blaster.

I had one for my iPhone 5. The case is pretty nice and holds up well, but it's a pain in the ass to take off. The only thing that bothered me is the bottom lip at the bottom of the screen is a little flimsy. Might just have been an i5 issue, not sure, but other than that it's a solid case.
Anyone know how the white clear one looks on the silver version?

That's because of the infrared interface.
The shipped some cases with blocked ir port and some reviews got bad.
Now they'll change the production process and ship new cases.
But for me it's ok, I don't use that port and for a review it's enough to show.
My poetic case from Amazon got shipped today.
The pictures of the case I'm seeing on Amazon show the screen running Sense 4.
That makes me feel wishful for some reason.

Same here, I'm betting its not the revised version but oh we'll I don't use the phone as a remote and for 10 bux on amazon if I like it ill just order the revised version in a different color.
Sent from my iPad4 using TapatalkHD
im in the uk and it now seems that the case is no longer available on Amazon
Guess its due to the revised version being sorted, really wanted this case but got fed up waiting because of the dates kept changing and now its not there at all
mine was just delivered and included was a note stating the power button being covered and that the revised version would be released may 13th and that they would automatically send the updated version to everyone who recieved the original design. defiantly a nice case, will be using it in the evenings and weekends when im out and about instead of the otterbox i have for the work week.
I ordered on April 5, and was just delivered today. Same as the previous post, a note came with it. See image. English grammar doesn't appear to be their specialty! But definitely glad to hear I'll be getting another in the coming weeks.
The version that I received is white. Looks very clean and consistent with the silver/white look of the phone.

A few pics of the Sonivo Sleep Sensor Wallet Case (video soon)

Hi All,
I've attached a few pictures of the Sonivo Wallet case for the nexus 5. It also has a sleep sensor but the best way to show that is through video, will try to upload to youtube and this thread a little later today.
I've been using it for a couple days now and it's a brilliant, sleep sensor works perfectly, it's the only case I've come across that has this feature! All the additional pockets on the inside come in handy too.
It's available on amazon which is where I got mine from, arrived a day after I placed the order so they've defo got stock of these already. You can search for it on amazon "Sonivo Premium Leather Wallet Case nexus 5"
I'll try my best to get a few more pics and that video up a little later today so you can see for yourself why I think this case is so good.
If you have any questions post a comment and I'll try reply as soon as!
link on amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Premium-Lea...1&keywords=sonivo+premium+wallet+case+nexus+5
Only thing I hate about this case is the fact that it has sim slots.
sent from my Nexus 5
Looks nice. Looks like no one in the US stocks it unfortunately.
I hope they bring some of these over they look nice.
Looks nice enough for £12. Ordered one. Like the idea of a wallet. I've a dt-910 and if I could combine a wallet case that would work with QI charging I'd be happy! Happy to pay a fair bit more for something premium, suggestions anyone?

Received mine today
Well actually it's not for me but for my husband's new phone. I knew he had been looking for something with sensors so had bought this case after reading about it here. I don't usually write on forums but I thought that it might be worth sharing my 2 cents worth given that I wouldn't have found the case had it not been for coming across this xda thread.
It arrived really quickly so was able to surprise my husband with it before he flies out tomorrow. Looks like a nice case in terms of finish. Stand is easy to use and I can attest to the sleep sensors working perfectly. Obviously it's early days so might convince my husband to write a more in-depth review of it in a few weeks. The phone was easy enough to get in the case, getting it out can seem harder but I just clipped a corner out and the rest followed without effort. Test shot with the camera was fine but again it was just one pic so will see what's it's like when you need to take images on the move etc.
One thing I noticed someone mention is the SIM card holders. While I agree that I personally would have no use for them, they are definitely going to be useful for my husband who has one of these global SIM cards for when he travels. Either way I don't think they are obtrusive given that they are on the inner flap and out of sight most of the time.
Anyway let me know if anyone wants any pics posted, though I won't see the case (or my husband) for a week after tomorrow. Or even if anyone has questions...

(Video Review) Sonivo Nexus 5 Wallet Case with a Sleep sensor

Here it is guys, the review I done for this case. Absolutely in love with it.
I thought I'd share this with everyone as if you look online there really are no wallet cases in the world like this to have the sleep wake function.
If you want more information about this case reply to this thread and I'll try to best answer your questions.
Hope you like the review and the case as much as I do!

Does the magnet interfere with the phone in any way? Maybe the compass or any other sensors?

It's fairly easy to get the phone in and out. If you insert the case one side at a time its really easy. I normally insert the phone in from the left side then once that's in, clip the right side it. Getting it out is the same thing just in reverse. The support on the case is tough but does have a bit of allowance to allow the phone to come out.

Been using it for a few days now and haven't had any problems with it.
No movement from the phone once it's in the case. It's a hard case support thats made especially for the Nexus 5 so once the phone is in won't be going anywhere.
Hope that answers your questions.
One other question: does qi charging work with this case or is it too thick?

Seconded. This looks like the best case with an autowake cover. But it's also the only one that's not available in North America
I was curious about this wake n sleep function and played with a magnet on the phone, the sensor seems to be on the top left corner of the screen. Might glue a thin magnet into the cheapish pink wallet case my gf got for her N5 to ad this feature :good:
Where can or will Americans be able to purchase this? This case seems to be the best option and I only use wallet cases.

I have one that's similar:

The only issues are (1) doesn't work with a car mount as is a frequent case problem and (2) the phone seems to get hotter with a wireless charger than the phone gets without the case on.
I'm assuming if you have this case, you have your phone in your jacket pocket.
I'm also a bit worried about the magnet for the flap, wouldn't it demagnetize your cards?
