I just came across this case case
http://www.amazon.com/MiniSuit-Gala...TF8&qid=1364730407&sr=8-1&keywords=B00AOAS1S4
The product claims to have auto wakeup and sleep feature. I could not see a confirmation of this feature working in any reviews.
Has someone here tried this case and can provide feedback?

Since our tableta dont normally have this feature, I would assume it is suported via the keyboard and the bluetooth connection
I know there's a app that uses the proximity sensor in conjunction with a flip case will auto screen on and off when the flip cover is open or closed. Maybe the same thing is being used here? I don't see anything mentioned in the reviews about this particular feature.
Skeptical, even if it is, it should just be waking the tablet up with an equivalent of a key press, but perhaps automatically with magnets in the keyboard. And activating the lock button when closed

Got my nexus today and the official quick cover I ordered came with it too, even though the order indicated part dispatch. I had assumed this meant the case had been delayed.
Have to say it is a very nice case, feels great, nice snug fit and it is really thin. While it is still bedding in the front flap is lifting slightly when closed (see pic) but I am sure this will give a bit in the next few day's.
Not worth £35!!!!! But it is a nice case. If the spigen one is as nicely made (seem to be looking at pics and reviews) then it will make them a bargain
Nice, but I REALLY miss the Nexus sign from the back...

Hey there, quick question:
The Notification light is not visible with this front, right?

Yes, correct. Notification light is obscured by cover.
LG/Google case design = FAIL
Time to get out the drill or hole punch, shall I take the phone out of the case before I begin drilling?
haha, there aren't many pictures with a broken screen yet so do it! ;p
where did you get the quick cover? Play store?

Yes, play store.
Was in new gadget blindness mode and didn't really think about the cost, at £35 it is a bit too much.
I reckon at that price the hole punch cut out for the notification light should go for about £4 on eBay

Well all the pics show a hole for the notification light. If there is no hole for your camera also, then you have it installed upside down

You had me going there for a moment - I had to reach all the way past my keyboard at work to test your theory.
Phew, I am not an idiot after all, although most of my daily actions would prove otherwise, LGoogle have forgotten to poke a hole in their case!
I will have to ring them and see if they can mail me a hole upgrade? If the makers of polo mints can remember to put holes in their products, I don't see why LGoogle can't
What do you think Google will charge me for postage on a hole?
I really like it but to bad the nexus logo on the back is lost
Id love to get this but losing the nexus logo is a no go for me. I think ill just buy a real bumper.
Does that mean that the front flap isn't magnetized? I'd heard it was and that when you open it, it unlocks your screen.

I have the case as well myself. The flap IS magnetised. The magnet is actually located above the volume buttons, so that when closed the magnet touches the screen glass over the volume buttons.
And I agree, while the case is nice, it definitely isn't worth £35, more like £15 and that's pushing it.

Ok...how did you guys get the case? When I look in the Google Play store, it says "coming soon". I'm in Canada (eh?) and never have any issue purchasing other stuff. I got the white Nexus 5 and thought the white flipcase would look SIC!!!
I received my Quick Cover with my Nexus 5 on Monday. First time I have used a case like this and I must say I am impressed. It feels premium (perhaps not £35 premium) and does not add as much bulk to the phone as I expected.
I for one am glad it has no notification light hole as the light used to wake me in the night on my bedside table.
One question to any other owners, is the rear too thick for wireless charging to work?

Pretty sure wireless charging is fine with this case, think I read it somewhere?
I am sure LGoogle wouldn't overlook this, especially considering they are releasing a charger for the nexus devices too.

We were the lucky few that were able to grab one at launch, they ran out pretty quick though

The hole in the picture is at the top for the earpiece so you can talk on the phone with the cover closed...
What happens if the flap is closed, you receive an incoming call and open the flap? Does that automatically answer the call? What happens to a call when you close the flap?
Thanks for your feedback.

Opening the flip just turns on the screen. All it does is it saves your pressing the power button. You still have to swipe to unlock if you have it turned on, still have to enter your unlock code etc. When there's an incoming call, after opening the flip you still have to swipe to answer/reject/silence the call. And closing the flip doesn't end calls either, it just turns off the display, or the speaker hole on the flip would be pointless.

I don't know what about it wouldn't work. It's not doing anything other companies haven't done, just putting it all together with solid protection and a latching mechanism.
I just received mine today. Nice case. For the record, the "Smart View" app that you'll need to download is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobius.rainbow

Be sure to post a review about it
I posted a review on this yesterday, if you want to check it out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681942
---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------
I got this yesterday. The wake and sleep function doesn't work unless you use the flawed Style View app. The app works by using the proximity sensor instead of a magnetic sensor. This means that if you are using your phone and happen to get close to the top of the screen it will go into the "Smart View" mode. Extremely annoying. Hopefully the Spigen app being released on 5/1 is better, or this case is next to useless for me.
Spigen is releasing a specific app next month. I have one and live it. I use Gravity Screen, and Nils floating notifications over the cm lock screen, is the best solution I found, haven't noticed significant battery drain.

whats about the app?
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
too expensive..
As we know htc desire is a fantastic phone but there is a one little draw back. that is the power button not placed at a right place... so can we on or off the device without using power button?/ Like for example double tap to wake or any other such thing? if yes then How?
One is the inbuilt flip cover that comes..
Secondly.. You have some app in playstore that switches the screen on when shaking.
Double tap should be supported by kernel, otherwise if Dev does then the screen will be active all the times expecting a touch, which in turns drain battery.

I think he means HTC dot view cover. Currently, it only support the m8 but @evleakes tweeted that the cover will support at least 7 models.
Let's hope that desire will be among them.

Hi, I am using SmartScreenOff and activate its Screen On by proximity option. It is useful I guess and it's really help me on this.

Gravity Screen Free apk is the one you probably need, which is available from http://www.appsapk.com/gravity-screen-on-off/.
Hit thanks if I helped you in any way.
there are two covers for desire 816.
one is the ordinary flip covers and another is the nfc enabled magnetic flip cover which brings to life a sleeping phone when you flip it open. of course if u use password or pattern lock then it will be shown and you have to unlock it. no need for pushing the power button every time you use the phone.
its very useful for me to read stories and browse internet.
proud owner of 816
Does it exist? Like a smart flip cover that shows what time it is and stuff like that.. without using the proximity sensor, that's a major no for me..
I saw one in Amazon and aliexpres but I read in the opinions that it is too fragile and I don't know if it works well
It about 7 euros
