With Poetic, you get what you pay for. They're stuff is decent for the price but it's not great quality. I ordered 3 and sent back 3 Poetic Revolution cases (no, I didn't mind the bulk) but each one had the same manufacturing defect on the inner lip of the front bezel of the built-in screen protector (not to mention that the screen protector was god awful with the rainbow effect and touch issues in a few spots but I could overlook that since I planned on removing it and replacing with a static-cling screen protector.
Yet, I had it with Poetic after the 3rd incident.
I ended up paying more but getting quality when I ordered the Seidio Dilex Active with front cover.
Again, Poetic isn't bad considering what they sell their products at but don't think you're going to get high quality either.
Unfortunately for me, my OCD wouldn't allow me to keep the Poetic case. If it wasn't for the manufacturing defect, I would've kept it as I liked how grippy it felt and while it was bulky, it always felt secure.
I can't seem to find anything inbetween price of poetic and seidico. Poetic seems to be unreliable.

I feel ya. I'm in the same boat. It seems you either buy the Poetic/Moko slim case, or the pricey/bulky Portenzo-like book cases. I thought I found a winner with the Seidio Ledger case that is priced in between these two options, but lack of a magnet or strap to keep it closed is a deal breaker for me. I caved and just bought the Poetic Slimline. I figure when it breaks, I'll just warranty it and get another one.
I had the same problem with the plastic cracking and 2 of the 3 magnets came out. I had to put scotch tape over them to keep them in place. Make sure the magnet polarity is correct, lol. Only paid $6 for it when they first came out so I expected low quality.

Have you tried the roo origama case ? Very slim case with different options on how the tablets stands.
I've had my poetic for almost a year now and have had no complaints at all.

Just looked at mine. I have a crack in the same place. Their warranty process seems like a pain in the ass to deal with too. I really really like this case, but I'm not sure if I'd buy another one.
Yep, mine cracked this weekend and the magnet fell out. I superglued it back in but I've still got the crack that protrudes so its totally obvious.
I want the official Google case but can't see spending that much $$.

Mine's done the same. I would like to find a similar case but maybe with more quality. I don't want to add any thickness and auto wake/sleep plus magnetic closure are necessary. Anyone have any Ideas? It's hard to complain about this case since i only paid $6 for it. It's currently $15 on Amazon. I'm hesitant to pay that much for such poor quality.
I have the roocase mentioned above I've only had it a few months but so far so good it was only $10 when I got it.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ET9H588/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I contacted poetic through their website about the failed case. They had me email them a copy of my purchase receipt and a pic of the damage. They said it'd take 2-5 days to process. I'll see what happens, but in the mean time I'm keeping on the lookout for another case.
I want the official Google one that has auto wake but it got horrible reviews and it's out of stock.

I bought one of these cases, and it seems that my battery drains faster. This may require some testing once I get home. Has anyone noticed this too?
I emailed poetic, sent them a pic of the crack, and they're going to ship me a new case.
But black is out of stock until 3/31. Oh well, I can wait.

My poetic wore out. I sewed one of the magnets into my Google case so I now have magnetic screen control. The Google case is excellent quality and I do not foresee it wearing out any time soon. If you get it just transfer over one of your magnets. Screen control is the only feature I wish it had, but that's solved now. ?

So the initial reason why I decided on the galaxy tab was because of its incredibly thin profile and light design.
I searched for days picking apart cases so I could keep that thin, light profile.
Well I think we found a winner folks. Its the Acase Ez Leather Folio Case.
It has an excellent feel to it, holding the tablet very tightly inside. It has those nifty magnetic flaps to keep it shut when needed. It has all of the ports cut out properly, including speakers, and the build quality is top notch.
It really has the two best viewing angles you could ask for. Perfect for typing, perfect for watching movies.
When you fold back its flap, it keeps the tablet thin and easy to view in landscape.
I guess my only 2 gripes is there not being a cut out for the charger when the flap is closed. But that seems to be very common among all folio cases. I guess they are trying to keep the dust out. Not a big deal for me as I am pretty good with a ruler and an exacto knife.
My other gripe is the bowing of the edges around the rim of the glass. It doesnt lay completely flat or flush. Although I will say its extremely stiff and probably the best I've seen in comparison. Alot of the other folio cases use a super thin and flapity leather or vinyl and, not only does it look cheap its very loose. This one is definitely an improvement over those. Its tight and uses a very thick, high quality leather, best I've seen.
If your looking for a high quality leather folio case that will keep your tablet thin & light without breaking the bank, then I recommended you go pick this one up on Amazon for $30 Shipped.
Dont forget to hit thanks if this post helped you!!

Looks very functional and thin but I am not loving the contrast white stitching.
I can't decide if I want to put full Ghost Armor on my GT or go for one of these type of cases. I would have loved the knock off Apple smart case, hopefully Samsung will approve that one soon. Screw crapple.
Personally, I love the white stitching. It matches my wallet and shoes! Haha.
Comparing it to all other folio cases, at least this one is unique with its own bit of personality and style. Searching through tons of cases, I was tired of seeing the same boaring straight black cases. I guess to each his own, but I like it cause it stands out.

Thanks for this! I was about to pull the trigger on the official Samsung case, but then I figured I'd take another quick look at the forums to see if I missed anything. I looked at your post and immediately changed my mind. I was looking for something that didn't add much bulk to the device, but would protect it fairly well. This looks pretty stylish to boot.
Also got a 3 pack of the same company's screen protectors for the Tab for 20 percent off with purchase of this case on Amazon. Ordering the case and the protectors, with next day shipping on Prime was 48 dollars, still about 20 dollars less than the Samsung case. Thank you SO much!
I like the case, just not the stitching, just my opinion.
The problem with getting such a brand new device is there not being anough quality choices in cases. Happens to me a lot because I unfortunately like to be an early adopter. I have spent so much money on Blackberry cases because I changed berries so damn often. Same happene with my Evo, bought a Golla pouch that I thought I would really like and then ended up not liking it so I got something else.
I may just do a full Ghost Armor for now until I find the ideal case, or just get the pasic slip in case for now.
I would have to agree on the stitching aspect. I like the case and would definitely buy it but I just think that doesn't sit with me for some reason. Thanks for the review.Nice to get one from a user aspect and not a company. Something I have been reading and searching for all day.
I love the look of this case. I am down to this case and the Melkco case. Tough decision to make.
Your welcome!

One of these days i will take a picture of my shoes and wallet and youll see what im talking about
This reminds me of the Yoobao executive folio case that I had for my iPad2. Have been looking for something like that and this is almost exactly like it.
Thx alot for the tip bro.
I received my Acase case today. It is a very sleek leather case that does not take away from it's attractiveness and yet its a great protective cover for my GT10.1. It is the best of both worlds.

Got mine and have been using it for about three weeks. I agree with the review overall. Unfortunately, the stitching on one of the corners is coming apart. I hope I can return it.
As long as you haven't poured something on the case or abused the case, you should be able to rightfully claim poor workmanship. No vendor wants to see bad reviews of their business on Amazon or on any message board.
Sorry to bump this old thread, but I think this deserves some bumpage.
I've been using the case for a few weeks now and I have one major complaint. Either the stitching is coming loose, or the leather is wearing down already. The leather tab that folds over the tablet to keep it in place does not stretch tightly anymore.
This means that when holding the tablet normally, since the bottom of the tablet rests on this flap, the tablet falls through the case quite a bit. Not only do the speakers get covered since it's not sitting right in the case anymore, but the entire thing is just annoying. Very hard to hit volume or power buttons, etc.
The Tab has not fallen completely out of the case....yet. But I can see that is where this is heading.
Funny thing is, I haven't even used the Tab all that much since getting the case. This case wore VERY quickly, and now I'm looking into other options. Don't think I can get my money back from Amazon at this point either
Anybody else with this case seeing this happen?

Do they take payment now or in the 1-2 weeks it's expected to ship? Gonna work out to around £25 to get one to the UK but it's definitely tempting. I'm not usually one to use cases but this looks very low-profile. I hope it fits in the car dock. Very much doubt it though.

No by the looks of pics that I've seen, the phone can only fit in the dock with no case. That's the only reason why I'm probably not going to get a case for this phone as I intend to use the dock on a regular basis.

I wonder if this is prone to turning yellow like most clear cases. Just a heads up that the crystal clear is a fingerprint magnet whereas the soft clear isn't :good:

Case looks nice. Looks like they have two choices. Frost/Soft and Hard/Clear. Almost tempted to get both.
I already have 4 cases now before the phone The Rock Thin Case in Silver and White and the Nillkin in Black and White.
This one looks even thinner. Have the case early helped me get a real feel for the phones dimensions. I really like the size of it.
I would like to have a very very thin aluminum case with the same aluminum finish. So it looks like the back of the phone. That way I can scratch it and not feel bad and keep the same look.
I think they should check their description box. They still have iPhone 5 instead of HTC.
Spigen cases are beautiful. I have an ultra capsule (soft rubber case- i dont think it is tpu) on my SGS2 which works wonderfully. The only problems i have with this case are:
a) no front lip which leaves the screen/screen protector prone to scratches when face down.
b) its a hard case which means no impact absorption
My brother had this case on his HTC One X, and when it fell on its side, the screen/digitizer cracked straight from where the charging port is (on the side for the one x) as it is an exposed area. SGP steinheil screen protectors have unmatched quality. I have had them on 5 android phones throughout my family, but i think ill be going for a cruzerlite tpu case because of their impact absorption, and just getting the steinheil protectors. I look forward to AFN's review to see if anything has changed with this particular case, but my hopes arent high. Sadly, Spigen informed me that they have no plans for an ultra capsule for the HTC One.
Just my thoughts...

Here is my review of the Cuzerlite Experience Cover and Androidified A2 cover for the Nexus 7 FHD (2013)
I have a wood skin on my Nexus 7 from stickerboy . net and it does not interfere with the Cruzerlite cases.
The Androidified A2
The A2 for the nexus is exactly what we have come to expect from Cruzerlite a great TPU case at a great price. The A2 sells for $17.95 and is available in 11 colors. The Case fits the nexus like a glove all the port and buttons are easily to use. I like the different finished on the case the Android is a soft touch finish and surrounding it is glossy. The A2 adds some good grip to the sides of the Nexus and In my testing I did not have any problems using different headphones or charging cables. I have a inductive charging plate and the cover does not interfere with the inductive charging feature of the nexus 7.

The Experience Cover
The Exp. is the perfect case for the stock android user. If you like the icons used by a stock android ROM then this case is perfect for you. The cover has a nice soft touch finish accept for the icon they are transparent. I like the added grip to the Nexus 7 and the fact that the case is very thin a light. In my testing I did not have any problems using different headphones or charging cables. I have a inductive charging plate and the cover does not interfere with the inductive charging feature of the nexus 7.

I think all the preorders got something extra in there shipmnet.
I ordered one of the SLine ones for $2 on Amazon. It "shipped" yesterday but with no tracking and is not due to arrive for almost a month. I'm guessing it's because it's a preorder and they don't have them in yet, but it would have been nice to know that. Not to mention now that they've marked it as shipped (though I highly doubt it was) I can't cancel the order.

To be honest, it was such a terrible experince with Nexus 4 bumper cases.... They again started selling the bumper cases at very competitive prices, but maann.. that was such a bad peeling experience.
I remember i changed thru amazon at least 4 times.. hope they are doing better job right now.
However, I am still considering buying poetic or not for N5, but to be honest, besides that peeling problem, I have seen way better case designs so far on the forum. This is like the same as the last year N4's exact design.
With couple more bux, i might go for a better looking cases
Poetic makes cheap crap. I have their case on my Nexus 7 and after less than a year of low use it is cracking and falling apart. Absolute junk and will not be buying any Poetic products ever again.
There is a reason these things are less than $5 shipped...

thats it, no offense.

Mines only broke once but then I wasn't too fascinated with the button feedback so I switched to a Rearth Fusion
Leather pouch FTW

Poetic makes cheap crap. I have their case on my Nexus 7 and after less than a year of low use it is cracking and falling apart. Absolute junk and will not be buying any Poetic products ever again.
There is a reason these things are less than $5 shipped...

I'd have to agree. I had a terribly time with their "Poetic Atmosphere Case for Google Nexus 4". The rubber peeled away from the plastic on two of their cases, and had to fight them for a refund. Check out the reviews:

Perhaps there has been a design improvement with this particular case, but I'd stay away.

As the post said, they are different styles...the first has colored bumpers and the 2nd is crystal (clear) around sides which is not a choice for the first. The amazon page for each does have multiple pictures that show the different sides and color choices.

Thanks, I decided to go with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid though.
I agree with the above... The nexus4 poetic bumpers were terrible quality... Tho the only bumpers apart from the official lg ones out there... And tho they did give good customer service, they would take forever to actually send out the replacement cases...
I think The main reason why the case sold alot on the N4 was due to the glass back easily cracking... People wanted minimal protection while having the awesome 3D design on the back still showing... Since the N5 no longer has that shatter prone glass back, I think lots will go nude this time around... I know I will...

Best deal
This is the best deal I could find online.
aliexpress.com/item/Ultra-Slim-Simple-Design-Frosted-PC-hard-case-for-LG-Nexus5-D820-D821-Matte-Surface-for/1440619475.html
aliexpress.com/item/Streamline-shape-Design-S-type-Pattern-Hybrid-TPU-edge-PC-back-hard-case-for-LG-Nexus/1440449718.html
Just ordered them both for USD$3.68/- with consolidated shipping. Be patient with the shipping cuz china post can take up to 1 month...
It seems like we have two options:
Poetic Borderline or this Abacus bumper, which seems to be the same as this i-Blason bumper.
I just got the i-Blason bumper, and it's pretty terrible. It's large and thick, yet the USB hole is just big enough to accommodate the stock cable, which is on the slim side.
Check the photos below, with the first comparing with another crappy case from caseology, which I thought was bulky as well, and the second a closeup of the 3.5mm hole, showing off the thickness in all its glory.

I am about to give up on bumpers and get a cruzerlite case or something

[OP]
By that, I mean bareback, border-only ones.
My N5 just shipped, and would love to protect them corners, but leave the back open.
Has anybody found one?

I thought that wasn't a bumper case. Must be the bad rendering.
Thanks.
yah that is bad rendering. and i think that looks like an ugly bumper case.

Google made effort to use silk touch plastic... it's a shame to cover the back.
Where are the regular bumper like the officiel Nexus 4 one.
three colors one a phone are too much imo, I'll pass on these one... I think I would by something transparent + color though
Poetic cases are good, but not attractive at all. They will probably be the only bumpers we get.
Currently i'm leaning towards a full case with a clear back, or just going full dbrand skin and a screen protector.

I like that the official google ones at least say nexus on the back like on the phone. I don't like the price however.

The price is a bit high, but I'll admit that I probably would have ordered one with my phone if they had been available, mostly because it says nexus on the back.
Spigen and Ringke both have bare back bumpers which I am looking at as well. Just don't know which to get. Both on Amazon. Just search for Nexus 5 bumper.
Got my Spigen Ultra Hybrid today. Phone arrives Monday. Can answer questions on the case if anyone has any.

I'm interested in buying it. Are the sides that are black bulky at all? I'd like it if it were pretty slim. How are the button placements? Mushy or firm? Does the clear backing look/feel vulnerable to scratches? Thanks!

Sides don't seem any bulkier then a Cruzerlite case but are harder plastic. Don't have my phone yet so can't tell you about the buttons other then I suspect they will be firm. Back is hard plastic so I'm guessing it won't scratch easy.
Can provide more feedback when I get my phone Monday.

How's the inside of the case? Any causes for concern that the case might mark the case or any part of the finish inside that might rub on the sides of the phone when on?
Just I have had bumper cases before that can cause marking on the actual phone through poor finish on the inside which is what you don't want from something made to protect your phone
Cheers in advance

Inside it just feels like real smooth hard plastic. Didn't feel any sharp edges that would rub and wear.

exactly my point
I just bought a spare one to wait for a good 'real bumper' to hit the market in europe (the poetic will cost me double the price because of the delivery from usa, and and don't like it, aesthetically)
This one looks better than the poetic case

SOLD. These look very nice, and though their version for the N4 had some issues, this N5 version looks like it'll be just fine with the 2 piece design instead of one solid piece. and some nice color options.
Just sucks there is no prime and it's going to be a few weeks.

Yeah, I have one of these for my n4. Survived one fall(concrete), corner of case little scuffed, n4 fine . Never took it off once I put it on, used it with a horiz holster during the warm month, breast pocket of winter coat o.w. or just lying on a table/carried by hand.
What do you do sit and stare at your case all day? Frankly I don't even notice it.
Note: mine never fell apart like some of the Amazon reviews for the n4 version claimed OTOH I wasn't putting it on/removing it every other which I suppose could account for it eventually pulling apart...
I've already ordered the hybrid & slim armor(wanted something available now since the only time that I dropped the n4 was shortly after receiving it), plus the other case listed in the threads here. Might end up ordering this again IF I don't like the three that I've got on order already(well the slim shipped should be here same day as n5).
Now all I need is another horiz holster w/belt clip as I'm sure the one that fit the n4 isn't going to fit the n5 as it was already a little tight with n4 + bumper case...
