Portenzo Hardback case with Intellistand

Well my Hard-book Portenzo case with optional camera cutout and Intellistand arrived this morning. Have to say that the case is top quality and feels really sturdy.
Once again thanks to Portenzo for such an amazing case!
http://shop.portenzo.com/hardback-for-the-new-nexus-7/
Here are some pics
Even got a cool box drawing done by Lea who works in customer services.
Oh the pics above make it look like the case is a royal blue colour (damn flash).
It is really a "Dark linen blue" colour, here are some pics that are more accurate to the actual colour

Nice looking case, just don't really like how thick it looks when folded, and it's $54 shipped, too rich for my $260 device.

I have to say that I quite like the thickness as it is like holding a hardback book. Also the case feels very solid and I imagine it can withstand a few knocks.
Yeah it's not cheap, but it definately has a premium feel and is extremely well made.

How does it stay on there? Also seems like the edges would be a little vulnerable. I might get one of these for my lady.

It's got some sort of sticky grip tabs on it that hold the device in place.
You can check out the video I linked to see how it performs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atSCZxbLg_E
I was abit worried about this when I read about it but this video assured me that it won't fall out or have problems keeping the device from moving about or coming out.
You might be right about the edges but the case is ever so slightly bigger than the Nexus7 so the edges of the device are covered so it would still offer some protection.

Do you have a wireless charger you could test?

How long did they take to make yours? I ordered mine back on August 8 and after contacting customer service, they stated that they hope to be done with my case by middle of next week.
I'm not sure if this is common, but the turn around times are terribly long.

I have an Orange one. I owned one on my OG N7 and loved it. The sticky tape never comes off. Owned it for months and never adjusted it or had to reapply. I don't have the intellistand. Mime has 2 strips of tape and the camera hole. I paid like $24+shipping for mine during their preorder sale.
Mines orange, yellow interior, and a red strap. The orange is more of a burnt orange, almost brownish. I like it.
Qi Charging works with it. I use my Samsung all the time.
Its a tad thicker then those Moko and Poetic Ultra cases (I have a white Moko). Both are close though. I'm using the moko for a week to see how I like it but I can already tell you the Portenzo feels more durable. The craftsmanship is great.

Yeah unfortunately they do get super busy during the first few weeks of a new product launch due to the demand.
They hand make every case and as far as I know they are only a company of about 10-12 workers.
Just be a little patient and I am sure you will get yours very soon.

Wrote that's a long time for a turnaround. I ordered mine on Aug 17th. What is your status on the website? Mine says awaiting shipment which in their FAQ means its being manufactured and should ship soon. What colors did u get? I got the Black outside dark green inside and a brown strap.

Yeah the band also blocks the camera hole when the case is shut but that is normal as portenzo designed it like that to limit the amount of dust that can get into the lens when the case is shut and also you can't use the camera when the case lid is shut anyway.
Opening up the case allows the camera lens to become unblocked.

It takes them usually a few weeks. They handmake everything on the case to order. Its a small shop. Everything is custom made. I ordered one for my nexus as soon as they was offered and mine was just send thusday so ill have it monday. Yes i bought one of the nicer ones around 120 paid. But its the best case u will ever own. You could put it on ur bookshelf and noone would know the difference. It will take drops and everything. Call me crazy but ill pay for a USA handmade case, made with care then a cheapass overseas made one that dont last a month. Ive seem some people wind up paying more for cases of cheap crap then they could have paid for 1 nice Portenzo. Check they website out and see how real cases are made. But all this is just opion also. This is my 2nd case. My first one lasted 2 Original Nexus and still was in beautiful condition.
Wicklet

Mine came a couple weeks ago. Love it. I got black outside with sky blue inside with dark blue elastic. My sister's order is still awaiting shipment. Definitely a nice case.

Caseology Slim Fit

Did anyone order one of these from Amazon and actually have it ship?
http://www.amazon.com/Caseology-Goo...aseology+Google+Nexus+7+FHD+2nd+Gen+Case+2013
I ordered 2 of them (1 orange, 1 black) back on August 20th when they were on sale at Amazon for a penny apiece plus $3.98 shipping. They were supposed to ship yesterday. Yesterday I received a ship confirm email with tracking number. At around 2:30am this morning, I received an email saying my order was to be refunded and the item was out of stock. I checked the tracking number provided in the first email and it appeared to be bogus. I emailed the seller back asking what the deal was and they stated:
"Your order was processed prior to knowledge of the out of stock issue, which is why you received a confirmation email. Please disregard the confirmation details as we cannot fulfill your purchase at this time."
Seems suspect to me. Just wanted to see if anyone else ordered these and actually has them on the way.

Just a few warning they take a long time to ship order mine on Friday came one week later on Saturday and about the case it is really stiff. It's so stiff it can barely go to the lowest stance position and be careful of the inner bottom left clip because it clamps on hard. It nearly tore the back of my Nexus 7

When I ordered mine it was 1 cent and 3.99 shipping. I stop using mine when I notice it clamp on tightly on the inner bottom corner which is stupid because you have to take it off to use the stance.

[Q] How to clean official bumper?

Hey all. I own a bright yellow official bumper case, and my new wool coat stained it while in the pockets. First off, costs getting cleaned to prevent any more dye staining. Second, I've tried water, oxyclean and scrubbing, but I can't get the stains off the case. Has anyone had to remove ink stains from the bumper before successfully?

They were looking into exchanging until I decided to go for the full refund. Even with a refund, you can just purchase a different one and keep the old one.

There really is no way to clean the hull ?
I personally have a gray, its edges are very dirty.
I buy the day out in France is there a way to walk the warranty or not ?

It's not stained with ink. These cases stain from the dyes in your pockets transferring to the case.
I called and told Google my case was starting to discolor around the edges and received a refund.

I was refunded for my grey case as it stained inside a day. They didn't argue at all, refunded and told me to keep the case. Pity only the black bumper would actually be usable for real world usage.

Hi everyone. Thanks for responding to my distress. I placed my order for the case on Nov 27 2013. Do u think I could still get a refund now? I saw some of u mentioning abt a one year warranty. I bought the phone and case on separate transaction from Google play.

I was able to contact their customer support and get a refund in the span of about 30 min, which is nice since it has been getting pretty noticable recently. It is to bad as i like the colored cases a lot. Maybe ill just use this one getting discolored for a few months then have a bright red one again in 3-5 months.

Yes, call them or better yet use the website and let them call you back. Just tell them what happened and that the case started to stain and has become unusable and unsightly that while you would expect a light coloured TPU case to get dirty eventually that this case is clearly not fit for purpose as it stained so soon. That the case is at a premium price and that as a result you would expect a premium product which you clearly do not have...they will give you a refund or exchange...if you want/like the black go for that, I dont think any of the others will hold their colour...so if you dont like the black - take the money and run.

FastTech selling TPU cases for $1.75

Not sure if anyone knows about this site. It's like going to ChinaTown of your local major city and buying goods from their market. It's rebranded, backdoor manufacturing, knockoff, products that didn't meet the tolerances, type of things. I saw some GNex phones on there a week ago or so. There is a ton of stuff that is legit on there, but at super huge discounts to what you pay anywhere else.
Here's another forum I'm on and what they have to say about the site. Most of the problems come from looooong shipping times. You have about 10 different shipping options. Can take anywhere from 2 - 6 weeks. 8 and it got lost in customs or stolen off the truck. But they will ship you another or refund you if that happens. Most of the problems we have with ecigs are batteries. Most of the time they get taken in customs before even leaving China. When that happens, FT gives you two choices, refund or attempt again.
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...30819-fasttech-thread-all-fasttech-posts.html
I don't see any problems with customs and an unbranded TPU case. I don't mind waiting a couple weeks for it to come in the mail. So I picked up 3 of these. One in black, white and blue.

So there it is if you want to pick up some cheap TPU cases.

I bought the Official Protective Case from Oppomart. It was no good! See this post i made a while ago.
This was from August 9. I'm still waiting for a replacement (they didn't have the one i bought so i'm waiting for a Clear Case now).
Also, the tracking numbers they sent me do NOT work!
Their response system is rubbish, even though they always respond back. Their answers do not really help...
To conclude, i think you should buy your accessories from eBay or something else. Not Oppomart.
Good luck!

damn.... that was really a big help! thank you for that! :good:

No prob... I wish i had better news :/

I got a case from there. Love it. Even switched back to it after using the diztronic.

.... I bought 3 cases, they travelled just 15 days from Singapore to Italy, they are good quality, one BEPACK ad 2 AIUXAN, nothing bad to say ....maybe I've been lucky ?
who knows .....

i bought a nillikin glass screen protector, a pelosi case and the official one plus clear case. it got to me in about a week, and all were good quality.
i have heard some people complain of the one plus case, but mine has been great. no cracking issues after three weeks.

So on the Oppomart replacement case. It's been a initially 2 months since i initially bought the case. After they agreed to refund me if the 3d tracking number didn't work in 7 days time (that was on 1st September), in September 8 I sent a new message informing them on the subject and requested my rightful refund. But no, today (9/9) they declined it again and sent a new tracking number that works for the moment. However, I'm done waiting. I told them that if the case is not here in 7 days i will escalate. I do not trust them anymore (not that I ever did). By 18/9 the time period left for me to escalate is over.
So a good shop is shown when things go sideways. They failed!!
Please guys, do not do business with them. You never know when someone is gonna "play" you!
PS. For everyone now knowing what this is about, please refer to my previous posts.
Good luck!

i never buy an accesory from the official store

I bought the original flip cover and everything went right

Of course they will be customers that bought something and everything went according to plan guys.
That's not the point...

I bought a red aixuan and a green original case from oppomart they both came in an excellent condition in about 12 days in Europe from China

I did to, after a couple of weeks the plastic cracked.

I'd bought the official clear hard shell case for my first OPO from Oppomart but I'd sold the phone before it arrived. However, I got my new OPO yesterday and it fits fine - not loose, clips into place nicely and although it doesn't give a lot of support it's enough for me along with an official screen protector. I'm happy

I bought two case but only one has arrived. The case description said it was leather but turns out to be plastic. It fits well but looks cheesy SKU E0036
