Hey everyone, I ordered one of these on june 14th. It got mixed up in customs or something and I never recieved it. I emailed the company and was promptly sent a replacement free. I got one of the sleeves in the mail today. The customer service was very good and id do business with them again!
I am heading on a roadtrip for a few days and will not be able to deliever a review right away.
I wanted to post up for any questions and provide a link. I will put it through the paces on vacation and will write up a full review
here is a link to their galaxy products. they offer a few different sleeves.

I ordered the alcantara one, in grey. It feels good and the fit is good. it fits tight and doesnt slide out.
When I got my new 2013 Nexus 7 I wanted to make sure I got a case and screen protector asap. So I ordered the i-Blason case because it showed as one of the only cases that was actually in stock. This was on August 3rd. A couple days later it showed as shipped, but it wasnt actually on the way, it was just that the seller had created the shipping label. Its now 10 days later and it hasnt moved at all. I have emailed the seller on Amazon to ask about it, but I think what they did was list it as in stock even before they actually had it. Anyway just wanted to see if anyone else actually ordered and received it? Thanks
I got mine, but it really shipped about 6 days after I got the "shipped" notice. Also the USPS tracking number I got when they said it was shipped was apparently re-used because the post office showed it as having been delivered a year ago (it did finally get corrected once it actually shipped). I've got a Moko case on order now which should be better (I hope). The i-Blason is kind of annoying because the cover won't fold back flat (but it does at least provide protection when carrying it around, so it is better than no case).
I received mine
>^.^< Sent from meow HTC One which is like catnip to me atm
Also received mine. The fold issue is not as annoying to me. I like it so far. Pen part of the Stylus broke already,(cheaply constructed) but other than that, no issues.
I ordered the orange color because it's the only color which has the order fulfilled by Amazon.com. Will receive it today !

I got mine a few days ago.
It took a couple of days before I got the tracking number, which was not a big deal, but then it took 6 days before the post office reported actually receiving it for shipping. I was not happy about that. But I got it and it a nice case.
Hi:
I got mine on the 6th of August. I was happy to get any case so soon. The bending cover is a little irritating but otherwise, a fine case.

Got mine. The fold issue is a bit annoying but OK for now (at least its something to protect my N7 for now). I ordered the Blurex case too so ill know in a few days how that is.
Finally got a reply from the seller saying "The Nexus 7 II heated black cases were delayed due to a quality control issue. Your order should ship by no later than 8/16. Thank you for your patience."
I received the same email today. Guess ill just hold out. Not worth canceling with the price so low anyway
I had the same experience as well. Ordered on the 3rd (sat), got a shipping notification on the 5th (Mon) but it was just the electronic shipping label. They didn't actually hand it over to USPS until the 9th (Fri). I felt a little duped when I realized what was happening because it clearly said in Stock and ready for shipping.
Then the case shows up and the cover doesn't fold flat. Yeah no more i-blason for me. I'm still hoping the cover will fold flat after some break-in but I may return this one as soon as I get another case anyway.

Let us know if the case you eventually get has a cover that can fold all the way back - that certainly seems to be the big quality issue with mine. Maybe they are adding a bit more slack the the "hinge".

I should be getting mine today, can you add a pic to show what you mean when you say it wont fold all the way down. Then I can compare it. Thanks
Don't have a good way to load a picture at the moment, but if you try to fold the cover all the way around flat against the back of the case, it gets to about 20 degrees and all the slack in the "hinge" is used up, it won't fold all the way against the back of the case, which makes it inconvenient to hold in your had for reading a book.
I just put a medium size rubber band in between the case and nexus 7.
When I fold it all the way back, I put the front cover underneath the rubber band, so that way I can let it hang with just my palm in the hand strap.

Sorry guys, I ended up selling the Nexus 7 before I got the i-Blason case. The case came today but I have no way to test it to see if it was revised in some way to fix the closing issue.
Mine came In today and even after the delayed shipping to supposedly address the quality issues it still can not be folded all the way back. Will take some pics tomorrow
I bought this case
And for the most part it is disappointing. Seems like when I try to prop of the stand it just doesn't fold in place right and the "stand" part of it that should prop it up is uneven and doesn't hold right. I feel like it's going to fall everytime. I should have done more research to find a better case, but you live and learn I guess. Will see if it just needs to be "broken in" to work right, if not I will purchase a better case later.
There are so many good cases sadly not available in Canada and if they are they are overly priced with shipping. So I have to resort to ebay.
So I'm wondering if anyone has bought the below cases?
Case One - For the price its seems like a good deal, but it has an extra flap that wraps around the back and I think thats going to come in the way when using the tablet.
Case Two - Seems like a copy of the MoKo slim case but it looks good.
The first case looks pretty good and only $1.95 CDN shipped. Might pick one up to try it.

I got the new N7 two weeks ago from EEUU, and now, just few days left to spanish release, where I'm from, there's still no portfolio cases available in my country.
I'd like to buy Poetic Slim because I don't feel comfy with leather frame ones at all, I'm touching it every moment when I slide my fingers on the tablet corners, and the MoKo is too expensive now (about 25$ now, I saw days ago at 0.99$.. lol).
I am looking for a folio case at 20 bucks or less shipped which have wake/sleep, slim finish and no frame... and all ebayers wants to cheat me about 15-20$ for 14-21 days shipping plus 15$ for 10$ amazon case (yeah I know stock problems but what a way to speculate), while DBrand "robots" sent the decal I bought from Canada for 3$ and arrived in ONLY 4 DAYS by ordinary mail :silly:
What do you recommend me? Wait till spanish release or try the second 7$'s one which seems like MoKo?
Thanks.
I got a couple cases from eBay. I've already received the S Line TPU case, which I paid less than $4 shipped for. I also won an auction for a white folio case which was around $1.50 with free shipping from China! Not expecting much, but I'll update when I receive it. Today was day 16, an the seller told me 10-20 days. I'm expecting it Tuesday, since Monday is a holiday.

I got my eBaY TPU s-line case today..Purchased it last Aug.29 for $4.99 shipped. its pretty snug and fit very well with all the ports all cut clean.
I like the matte finish with glossy on the back and the textured side of this case. i choose a solid white color than the transparent one. but i hope that this case stay clean and white.
after installing my extremeguard screen protector here it is.
I will always suggest Poetic Slimline. It has 3 year warranty!
There's already a discussion on cases/screen protectors for the Pixel 3 XL. However, I'm not seeing much talk about skin options.
After watching a few review videos, I'm nervous about just how easily the matte glass on the back scratches and gets marked up. One reviewer even seemed baffled by how easily the back of his 3 XL got marked up, considering the phone was in a case from the very beginning. You can see him talking about it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzERR48mz6o&t=90s
With that said, even though I have a Spigen case and tempered glass screen protector sitting here waiting for the phone to arrive on Friday, I'm still very hesitant to install the case without a skin/wrap for the back. I went ahead and pre-ordered a DBrand skin that fully covers the back. But after talking to DBrand customer service, it sounds like the wraps won't be shipping out until late next week, at the earliest, since the first batches are still in production.
With that in mind, I'm looking to see if anyone else has another option for a back wrap, that they know of. I'm a nutcase about keeping my phones pristine, so at this point I plan on just leaving the phone packaged up until the DBrand skin gets here, even if that's still 2 weeks away. Unless there is another solid wrap option that currently has products ready to ship. I did check out SlickWraps but their site doesn't indicate how quickly they could get the product shipped.
Anyway, open to ideas/discussion.

Watch Austin Evan's review of the Pixel 3 and XL. He had it for like 1 day, and after 1 drop the glass back on it was completely shattered and broken. This is not a case I would personally just put a skin on it. It needs an actual case unless you are 100% sure it will never be dropped. I'm thinking like iPhone 4 glass breakages here lol.
I got the Spigen Thin Fit, and if that's not enough, I got a cheapo TPU case that should be a little better for shock absorption.

He's not saying he's putting just the skin on it. He wants to put a skin on it before he puts it in a case and is wondering if anyone knows of a skin that's available now.

Ah I mis-read. I thought he was wanting to use the skin instead of the case.
To answer OP's question, I used Xtremeskins on my Pixelbook, cuz at the time they were cheaper than Dbrand and more customizable than Slickwraps. They have a PIxel 3 skin, but it's still pre-order, and they're UK based so shipping took a few days.
I can't imagine you'll find much right now, since it's so new.

Yeah, everything I'm finding is still pre-order. So when my Pixel 3 XL arrives Friday, I'll probably keep it in the box until my DBrand arrives. Hopefully it will be sometime next week. I just think it would be a real shame to throw the phone in a TPU case and immediately scratch the back of the phone up, just from the case rubbing/pressing against it. I'll definitely be testing my ability to hold out while this phone just sits on my home office desk while I work all next week.
But in the end, it will be worth the wait to keep the phone in 100% "like new" condition. Especially for resale. I did this same thing with my OnePlus 6 (DBrand skin > Spigen TPU case > full coverage glass screen protector) and I'm now able to sell the phone for top $ since it still looks brand new.

Good call out. Just ordered one as well. Now I'll have to see if the DBrand or Slickwraps arrives sooner. Slickwraps did allow for expedited 2 day shipping for $6. I went that route. Hopefully that means I get it by Tuesday. But it will probably still be Wednesday, given the weekend.
I ordered a DBrand skin last week as well as one from SlickWraps.
DBrand hasn't sent any updates either but their website still says pre-order for their 3 XL skins. Hopefully that ships this week. However, I'm getting annoyed with SlickWraps. It's been 5 days since I ordered with no updates or notifications of shipment. And they indicated that they had inventory and were no longer on pre-order.
I'm going to ping SlickWraps support. If they say it hasn't shipped yet I'm going to cancel that order and just hold out for DBrand.

Just saw your signature that you went from the OnePlus 6 to the Pixel 3 XL which is exactly what I am doing (when it finally comes out in the UK)
I ordered both a DBrand True Color - Yellow skin and a Slickwraps Colorshift - Green/blue skin.
Slickwraps was ordered on October 9th and still says "Processing"
Dbrand was ordered on October 19th and still says "Processing"

Is that a Pixel 3 or Pixel 3 XL? If it's a 3 XL, how did you already get a wrap? Is it DBrand, SlickWraps or something else?

I emailed slick wraps a few days ago because at that point they're website said everything was in stock yet I hadn't received a shipping notification. They responded on Monday with the typical "we're overwhelmed with new purchases and our warehouse is heavily backed up". Wednesday and still nothing...

Anytime you order in/around those massive sales they do (like 50% off) you can expect delays. I'd guess it'll be around 3-4 weeks

If I don't see anything by next Monday I'm cancelling my order lol. 3 to 4 weeks is not acceptable these days. I can't remember the last time I saw a company back logged that far out. Hopefully this isn't the case

LOL! Good luck. I tried canceling my order yesterday, 6 days after placing my order with no updates, and they basically told me to screw off. They said they will not cancel orders unless the cancellation comes within 2 hours of ordering. I tried arguing it and said they were being misleading because they indicated the wraps were in stock when they clearly aren't. They responded with the exact same response the second time. I requested that they refund the $6 I paid for expedited shipping, at the very least. They even refused to do that.
I'll never buy SlickWraps again, because of this BS. If it wasn't relatively cheap, I'd open a dispute with my credit card company. But it's not worth it given the price point.
Pitaka MagCase Note 10+
Got in the Pitaka Magcase for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 plus today.
This is one of the finest quality cases you can get for the Note 10 plus if you are looking for a very minimalist case.
This case is like using your phone bare nekkid.
The case protects the back, top and bottom of your Note 10 plus with real Carbon Fiber material.
Feels great in the hand and adds much needed grip to the device.
Works perfect with the 3 different wireless chargers we have here.
Great Case, Great Materials, Great Fit, Great Feel in the hand and thin as a potato chip.
Link to case on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2kK3Cuw
Here are a few pictures of the case on my black Note 10 plus.
Pre-ordered mine early August. Still hasnt been delivered here in Australia... Meh, ill never buy from them again.
Mine was shipped earlier this week and now is at local depot expecting delivery on Monday.
My cover arrived today! It is good quality and therefore worth waiting for.
What clock widget is that?
I have one for sale for note 10 if anyone is interested. It's brand new, believe it or not , it's too thin for me.
I ordered one and all I received was an empty box! Amazon issued a refund and only the after I posted feedback did I receive an email from pitaka, would never oreder a pitaka case again
