I have many of this for sale. Please search for my username, chaiwat_t, if this item number has been sold. It got a good review in my country so hope you like it.

I'm interested - are there any published reviews?
So am I. I'm curious what the white version looks like. Any pics?
They have it here : http://www.boxwave.com/products/flexiskin/flexiskin-qtek-9000_722.htm
In 5 different colors for 27.95$. Can everyone with experience in silicon cases comment about it being a dust hugger? I heard it gets dirty easily but i don't have personal experience.
If it is that bad (the dust) how come they still sell?
I am using one myself for my SPV M5000 and it's not a dust hugger. Anyway, it's normal that if you use the black color, you'll notice the dust easier. It's the same for everything in black color, I think.
I've not seen any reviews yet but you can ask tho who had bought it from me (via eBay).
It makes my life less heavy as other cases make this giant like a big brick while this siliconse case just adds a litte weight to it.
I'll be doing a review soon. And the alumium grey is the best one as far as Jasjar's are concerned as i was told the skin blends very well with the original color.
If you have an exec, then i suggest you go for the clear version, thats your best bet.
Docc.

How much are you selling them with shipping to Madrid, Spain included? In €uros preferably.
I've never used ebay. Where is your link? Thanks
Hi,
I ordered one from ebay and it cost me 24 euros including postage.

Can you please post the link to the seller? Also is that 24€ international postage? I live in Madrid, Spain
I used the link in the first post. Check it out .You have to pay in advance with paypal. I paid 24 euros and am waiting for the delivery (tony_ix: any idea how long that'll take?). This includes postage to the Netherlands (price is GBP 9,49 and 5,99 postage: is about E24) . If I'm wrong, I'm sure tony_ix can give some more info, since he's selling them.
Please do let us know how it fits. One concern of mine is that some of the cut outs might not correspond to the actual holes. If you could possibly post some pictures, that would be very nice.
Yes, that's true. The photos on the boxwave site show that the videocam hole is not exactly in line
For more photos...
http://www.pda4thai.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1333
There is no issue of cutouts not correspond to the actual holes.
ng, I have no picture of the unit with the white color at the moment. From the items sold, the black color is the most popular.
Is there anyway of getting one of these without using ebay or paypal?
Hi,
When I get this case, I won't be able to be of any use as to how the case will fit, since I don't have my device yet . I still have to wait some time before the end of my subscription before I can go get the universal. I bougth this case in eager anticipation. I thought the price was right and figured that by the time I get my device, they would be sold out.
So you'll just have to make do with the pictures online. Based on the pictures I expect it to fit well, also with the cut-outs. I was also not too fond of the flexiskin pictures showing the holes out of allignment. I do hope it will color ok, since I'm going to get the silver mda pro, but I that's just esthaetics.
I was wondering: based on the pictures of this silicone case, would it be of any help in the "keyboard marks" issue, since the case will add an extra strip around the border of the keyboard. This is pure speculation ofcourse, but an optimistic one. Any thoughts?
N
Regarding the keyboard scratchs, i wonder the same thing, any ownser of this skin care to comment?
Riceburner,
Please email me if you want to try paying in another way.
About the keyboard, I think if the skin covers the keyboard, then you'll find it hard to see the alphabet on it and that is pain. I like it to have the cutout for the keyboard.

Yes, but is it thick enough (the case) that the screen part doesn't touch the keyboard? Check this forum for xda exec case marks and you'll see what i mean. The upper part of the device (which is where the screen is) has shiny "dots" that correspond to the keys as they rub against eachother. Normally only the upper part of the screen. Just want to know if the "frame" of the silicon case is thick enough to prevent this to happen as there are a lot of people with the device for more than a month that have seen this symptom
its amazing... the screen is not touching the keyboard
the material feels very soft and strong at the same time
i did not expect it to be so perfect it fits like a glove
if yu guys want any particular fotos pls pm me and i'll try my best to provide
i would recomd this case to any one using the universal...
as i have the jasjar it looks a bit weird because it does not cover the hinge on the outside otherwise excellent case

The official sammy case I got has the camera slot near the wedge, and yet the photos on their website have it the other way round! What's going on??
The bookcase I received, has the camera slot on the inner wedge (photos below), and it causes two problems. i) the tablet is turned 180 degrees in the 'typing mode' (shallow support) and some programs like Youtube can't do a 180 degrees turnover, and ii) when you close the bookcase, the short magnetic clip does not cover the camera when closed, thus the camera is exposed.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/5907483311/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/5907483363/
Yet, when you look their photos for the bookcase, it shows the camera slot on the far side, thus the tablet would not be upside down in 'typing mode' and the clip covers the camera slot.

(select "view larger" on the lower right side to see the position of the different camera slot)
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EFC-1B1NBEBSTD
Can it be that the bookcase I received, which had the part number EFC-1B1NBEGSTA is different from the one on display which has the part number EFC-1B1NBEBSTD ?? But Sammy didn't say anything about different models, and I for one, would prefer the camera slot on the far side. Did you all receive the bookcases like mine, or did anyone receive bookcases like the one on their website? Did anyone actually receive a bookcase that looks like the gallery one (STD) rather than mine (STA) ??
I've got the same one as you. My guess would be that the pictures on Samsung's website are of what the case was going to look like originally.

Ditto here. I also figured that the display model was an earlier pre-production model that was changed.
As far as the OP's concerns, while it would be nice to have the camera covered I don't think it's that big a deal. Allowing the camera to be recessed should protect it from most wear and tear as compared to what my caseless Evo has endured with its raised camera.
Just a photosop fail on their part
I just found this Samsung book cover case with a slightly different model number over at tigerdirect.com. It shows the rear facing camera lens hole on the opposite end from the model you received (same pictures that were on the Sammy website). Has anyone purchased this model and is the camera location different? I noticed the different model number and was actually worried about ordering from Tiger Direct in fear that it was an older model or something (version 1.0).
Samsung's website model: EFC-1B1NBEBSTD
Tiger Direct's model: EFC-1B1NBECXAR
Sorry I can't post links yet, you will have to search on google for "samsung galaxy tab 10.1 book cover case" and the top listing under shopping should be the tiger direct link.
The product id of the book cover case I bought from Samsung a couple of weeks ago was EFC-1B1NBEGSTA. Now when you put that product in your shopping cart it comes up as EFC-1B1NBEBSTD. I wonder if this new product id signifies a modified book cover case with the camera hole in the other position...
Noticed this as well but I thought it wasn't that big of a deal to post - It's not the first time Samsung messes up photoshop on their own website.
Most of the pictures on Samsung's site are photoshop fails.

1st and 2nd pictures are contradictive (USB port is on the bottom of the phone)

There have been 3 totally different part numbers for this case so far. So far 2 of the 3 photos have been posted in various threads and they are identical.
Well, I wouldn't mind a bookcase that looks like the one on the site, rather than the one I have ... Will keep an eye out to see if different versions actually come out, in the US or elsewhere.
I have to say, even the cnet gallery here shows the GT10 in an upright position when the bookcase is set to typing mode. Unless they deliberately took it out and turned it upside down, this photo would also support the notion that there is a Sammy bookcase that has the camera slot cut out on the far side rather than near the binding ...

There is only one version of the case. You can tell CNET deliberately placed the Tab in the case upside down, since the cut-out for the headphone jack is on the bottom.
My bet would be a last minute redesign so that the head phone jack would not be covered. When on the go, it is probably the only port you want to make sure is not covered.
Samsung should have updated their site to reflect that though.
Good point about the headphone jack....
When I got this case I was really disappointed in design.. I like the materials and build.... The case just feels like it is backwards. I decided to put my tab in the opposite way... I will likely never use the camera, and Its covered up by the case when you open it all the way.
The only way to use the camera with the case is to hold the tab upside down and let the cover hang.. Just silly. You will fumble around with it for sure the first time you try to take a pic with this case on - trying to figure out what way to hold it so the camera is not blocked by case.

Like you said, I would rarely use the camera but messing with it in the case I simply hold it at the top with the fingers of my left hand holding the cover up and my palm on the top left of the tab. Annoying but works fine since it's so lite.
They should have made it with a removable top (cover). They could have had the 2 pieces slide together with a plastic hinge of some sort. Or maybe some heavy velcro.
or just made a smart cover like the ipad
Ok, so the Samsung website has it listed as a leather case... and the pics in this post look like the outside flap may be leather... mine is plastic and nylon and only the inside flap that touches the screen is leather. Is everybody else's like that?

It's plastic. There is no other version. Samsung's photos are wrong as is their description. You would think the actual manufacturer would get it right or at least after 2 months fix it.
Hey guys, found this on ebay:
I was originally searching for a custom back cover some of the Google employees got.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Ba...ccessories&hash=item3cbda658d5#ht_2449wt_1180
Seller says its "original" (wtf)
Think its worth it/looks nice?
oh heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell no
Is that the Verizon one?
I need to learn my different models...
Anyway, a 3rd party back plate may be problematic with the tabs. Probably crappier material and I can see the tabs snapping off.
You could always spray paint it yourself...
Galaxy Nexus - 4.0.3 CM9
Asus Transformer - 3.2 Revolver
It's for GSM, I'd like to try it actually, but the price is the same of a case from a reputable manufacturer, to pull or not to pull.''
What makes me curious is why it has white logos, instead of something like gray.(full invert of the real battery cover)
Well the prongs all seem to match up.. who's going to pull the trigger?
my guess with it saying "original" and having logos same shade as the rest of it is that it is an official back cover from samsung... just painted...
I'd like a custom backplate too, but that white does not match AT ALL with the rest of the Gnex.
Why would anyone do that? It looks terrible.

Maybe with certain white cases, it'll match up, shrug.
But given the seller's rating, I'd say it's legit - just seems overpriced for a flimsy piece of plastic.
Because they're original white because there making the the phone in white already is my guess. I would a got it in white

That is OEM and has the Google logo like the grey one and the Samsung logo...looks nice on the White Galaxy Nexus, not so much on the Grey one
You can't see either logo with the light they have, but it's there
it's not original, the original has the serial number engraved at the bottom, whiles this is near the middle on the right hand side, it seems like it was made from the same manufacturer as those metalic silver one that were on sale before in ebay, the connectors were in the wrong place, but this time, the white one has the connectors in the right place, and upto now i haven't hear of any white gnex, so I think why would a white cover surface before the actual phone.
I wont say a white gnex will never be in production in the near future, just that it's strange a cover comes out of nowhere.

A GSM Galaxy Nexus was hard enough to obtain in the states, now we're talking ablut a white version?
Any case/carbon skin combo this would look nice with? Just want to make my device stand out a bit.

yes they are, but it seems like it was made from the same company, as the engraving of the serial number is in the same place at the middle right, oem ones are at the bottom.
I'm not really into cases, but would you think a certain color of carbon fiber skin would look nice with this battery door?
you can just spray paint it if you want. wont harm anything at all.
Never done this before, I definitely don't want to screw it up and get a bad finish or something.
A white battery door, personally I think would look out of place. Now I'm debating on how difficult the phone actually is to dissect, and hoping to wrap the housing in some sort of white vinyl.

So I thought the Gnex looked kinda boring as it stands (esp since there are no buttons on the front face), so I decided to customize my VERIZON Gnex a bit.
Before anything even happens, I want to find some parts to make it my own original design. Here are the things I'm looking for:
1) Brushed aluminum (silver) battery door; ideal design would be circular patterns that radiate from a central point (like the Acer Transformer Prime tablet)
2) A small Samsung decal in gray, silver or black (preference in that order)
3) A small Google decal in gray, silver or black (preference in that order)
4) A medium sized Nexus "X" decal
I would then paint my middle housing (and all buttons) the pearl white that's found on the Lexus IS 350/250. The back door would either be the brushed aluminum (silver), or I'd paint the original one the same pearl white and apply the Samsung, Google and/or Nexus decals accordingly.
Sadly, I've spent some time searching for the above items on eBay and have found nothing for my Verizon Gnex. Please point me in the right direction if you know where I could find such items. I know this kind of project is very popular (referring to the thread about the white housing), but I wanted mine to be a little more original. I have access to an auto body shop, so the painting isn't the main issue.
Criticism is welcome.
Make the images yourself then take it to one of those sticker places at the malls and have them make it for u. Won't cost too much and you will be able to get exactly what u want

If there isn't a manufacturer already making them, the battery cover in aluminum could get a little pricey. You would probably need to have it produced as a one-off piece from a machine shop with a CNC machine. I don't know for sure, but wouldn't that much metal have a detrimental effect on your signal quality? It seems like NFC would have a hard time at least, since it's range is so limited already. Either way, the idea sounds pretty cool. Would love to see some pictures when you get everything together.

Aluminium batter covers already exist on ebay and they kill NFC entirely. That's the reason why they aren't that popular.
This is how they look for the international version. Does not work with the Verizon (i515) version though.

Cool. Thanks for confirming that suspicion.
I actually dont use nfc at all right now, so its low on my priority list. However, i dont plan on having one custom made due to pricing. If anything now, i might make it full silver or pearl white with the decals.
Still lookin for decals tho

definitely not slim, and not cheap, but I've been very happy with this case for my N7-2012.
http://www.thesnugg.com/tablet-case...ather-case-cover-and-flip-stand-in-black.aspx
Will post once I get mine (pre-orders claim to ship Aug 23).
I got my Snugg case today...
what I like: they moved the loop for the stylus (not that I use it) away from blocking the USB port (as it did on the N7 2012 version of the case).
But alas, the case I got is a big fail. Open the case, the N7 turns on.. as you expect... and then when you finish folding the cover back behind the N7... that same magnet has enough pull to turn the N7 right back off
all you have to do is fold the cover back behind and slide it back and forth a little. I never had this problem with my N7(2012)+Snugg.
So I'm returning my case. Maybe they'll get the kinks worked out in a future batch.
EDIT: similar to the 2012 case, I do wish they made it a bit easier to reach the power/volume buttons.. the cut-out on the Poetic slimline is MUCH better for that.
EDIT2: Snugg is sending a replacement.. we'll see if its any better.
EDIT3: the comedy continues.. the replacement they sent was a red iPad case... not much good that will do... have emailed them again and waiting to hear back.
Got my replacement case.. same issue.... so I decided to do a little surgery...
I removed the stitching from 3 of the 4 sides around the tan Snugg logo, and peeled it back. Under that was a layer of light brown tape/paper.. I used a nife to scrape that back, and under that was a magnet which resembles a button battery... maybe 2/3 the diameter of a dime (US).
I used 2 pair of pliers to attempt to snap it in half.. it was fairly brittle, do I ended up with 4 pieces of different sizes.. I 1st tried the largest piece.. maybe ~50% of the original magnet... put it back in place, piece of electrical tape over, and tucked the logo back in place... still saw the problem.
So then I swapped that piece for the 2nd largest (maybe 1/4 of the original magnet).. and so far that seems to be doing the trick. Seems to open reliably from the front, and is NOT detected (knock wood) when the cover is folded to the rear.
I'll give it a few more days, then add some glue to secure the stitching I removed and call it a win.
I've emailed Snugg about this, but so far they are saying "we haven't had any other complaints".. I dunno, since I got one of the 1st cases they made for N7v2, I think that is a premature assessment on their part.
At this point, I hope I have the case I wanted.

Well Snugg is a nice case but I dont like that stylus space there...because I dont like to use stylus and more over that space will be more irritating one rather than being useful.....on comparison it with black leather portfolio case...i find that portfolio one is much better...as A case or a cover is a product that should be for the care of tab properly so i prefer that one over snugg...almost same price..but quality of leather portfolio case is much better...but its my personal experience i would say.....

The stylus loop was at the bottom, blocking the USB port on their case for N7-2012.. they moved it to the top for N7-2013 (so it doesn't block anything now).. I don't use a stylus either, but it stays out of the way for me.
Snugg replied to my email, saying they have now gotten other complaints and are making an adjustment to the magnets in the case. Will be sending a revised case once it is ready.

took a look at the link... I had a case like that for my Touchpad.. never again... I much prefer the Snugg style/functionality... I've had the N7-2012 version for almost a year.. zero fraying... it still is like-new. 2 others in the family have Snugg cases for different tablets, and they've had no issues either. *Other* than this current magnet issue (allegedly being fixed in a new batch of cases), I've seen nothing to suggest Snugg cases are anything but top quality, equal or better than any other "leather" case I've owned over the span of several tablets.
but the nice thing about this is that everyone likes a different style case, and there's something out there for just about everyone at every price point.
I got my rev2 case.. they did more than just fix the magnet... the inside cut-outs are different, and most importantly, they did a carve out around the power and volume buttons, making those much more accessible.
Oh, and by dumb luck, I figured out that the stylus loop can easily tuck in behind your N7, so it's totally out of the way (even tho it didn't bother me anyway).
and the magnet strength seems fixed now.
All in all I can now call this a very good case.

Just saw the update on the rev2 case, right after I got done talking to Snugg. The lady at first hesitated, checked with her supervisor then came back. Said they had similar issues and it was fixed, new cases would be aent out to thoae affected meaning you muat first complain to get a replacement. My issues were bad fit, camera slightly blocked front and back. Buttons impossible to find, edge was curled badly, left aide of screen slightly covered, and just now typing this response my magnet kicked my screen off! Just goto Snugg's website and click the chat link they will send out a case once they verify your order number with them or amazon. Glad to hear the updated case looks more like the picture on their website. Waiting for mine now.

hmm.. just looked at the website.. their pic looks like the original rev for N7-2013... the one I got has cutouts above and below the screen ~3/4 the width of the display... vs. their pic show just a cutout for the front facing camera.
EDIT: FWIW I have NO idea why the new cutouts above/below the screen were done this way. the other changes they made, make sense to me.
OMG, what the crap case!
