I just got off the Poetic Atmosphere Case website. They posted this Update:
We are aware the issue of IR Blaster is being blocked. Update version will be released and ship on May 13th. on the official site so I have no doubt that the ones shipped out from Amazon will be the same and if they aren't Amazon is great at sending out the replacements to your order for free if the manufacturer messes up.

I was waiting almost a month for this case after pre-ordering it from Amazon UK. I was drawn by what looked to be a good design that complemented the aesthetics of the phone. However, decided to cancel my order last week, when Poetic missed their estimated dispatch date. The OP's post explains why Poetic seem to be repeatedly pushing back their 'stock expected' date.
One question I have is...How can a case designer mistakenly overlook the IR blaster when it functions as a vital power button too?
Ended up buying an Otterbox Commuter. Pleased with it.
Currently interchangeably using HTC One, BBZ10 and Note 2

They overlooked the IR function, not the power button itself. The current design is opaque over the power button but works just fine as a power button. The new version will either have a cutout for the power button or have a clear button so the IR can pass through. I am hoping for the latter, but either way should be good.
ordered one a few days ago, they changed the date to may 13th as well.
wonder what they are doing with the cases they have already made, i would be willing to buy some for cheap as
i never use the ir blaster.
Reviews of this case for other phones say that it's crap and falls apart

I had one for my iPhone 5. The case is pretty nice and holds up well, but it's a pain in the ass to take off. The only thing that bothered me is the bottom lip at the bottom of the screen is a little flimsy. Might just have been an i5 issue, not sure, but other than that it's a solid case.
Anyone know how the white clear one looks on the silver version?

i want to buy one but they pushed back the release date
That's because of the infrared interface.
The shipped some cases with blocked ir port and some reviews got bad.
Now they'll change the production process and ship new cases.
But for me it's ok, I don't use that port and for a review it's enough to show.
My poetic case from Amazon got shipped today.
The pictures of the case I'm seeing on Amazon show the screen running Sense 4.
That makes me feel wishful for some reason.

Same here, I'm betting its not the revised version but oh we'll I don't use the phone as a remote and for 10 bux on amazon if I like it ill just order the revised version in a different color.
Sent from my iPad4 using TapatalkHD
im in the uk and it now seems that the case is no longer available on Amazon
Guess its due to the revised version being sorted, really wanted this case but got fed up waiting because of the dates kept changing and now its not there at all
mine was just delivered and included was a note stating the power button being covered and that the revised version would be released may 13th and that they would automatically send the updated version to everyone who recieved the original design. defiantly a nice case, will be using it in the evenings and weekends when im out and about instead of the otterbox i have for the work week.
I ordered on April 5, and was just delivered today. Same as the previous post, a note came with it. See image. English grammar doesn't appear to be their specialty! But definitely glad to hear I'll be getting another in the coming weeks.
The version that I received is white. Looks very clean and consistent with the silver/white look of the phone.

Ok so I was asked to update this post. Some of the information found throughout the thread is below:
The battery cover can be found at: cnn.cn
(thank you NoNameAtAll from this post)
The cnn.cn part is just the case, no retail packaging (ie. no media dock adapter.)
jjwatmyself in post says that you remove the insert in the car dock and it will fit the atrix with the battery cover.
digital.aaron in post has some pictures with the cover on the phone.
jjwatmyself has some pictures here.
digital.aaron says in this post: it's very different from Otterbox's rubber. It hasn't picked up any fuzz from my pocket, and I've got on fleece sweatpants. Used to be a nightmare for my 'Box'd iPhone.
Some problems people were are having, the sides are flimsy (you get used to this) and the different colors seem to have different textures.
=============OLD POST===========================
I bought the atrix from AT&T and I ordered a ruggedized battery cover from some website for $30 w/ shipping. My question is as I have neither yet, does anyone have the cover and is it good? Does it feel like it will protect the phone a bit and help hold the phone in the hand?

I'd be interested in this too. Asked a while back and it seemed no one has tried them, because there were no responses. I don't want to spend $30 on one if it feels cheap or doesn't fit right

Well, if no one else has tried I already ordered it so when I get both phone and cover in I will update this thread. It might be a while as I am stationed in Japan so my mom will be sending me the phone Tuesday or Wednesday and it may take a week or two to get here.
oh by the way I ordered mine from After market Cellular. Anyone have any dealings with them, are they honest?
This is the specific one I bought:
http://www.aftermarketcellular.com/ic/89490N.html
I've been looking at one of these batter covers but several sites that I have checked show an estimated ship date or out of stock. Have you received a shipping confirmation for the battery cover yet?
These are rubberized battery covers and thus replace the stock plastic cover. They are from Motorola and are rumored to be out about April 15th. This is why several places show "out of stock", because they aren't out yet.
I have not recieved a shipping confermation, but the store was not showing them as out of stock r estimated shipping date. Now that a320ca said they are nto supposed to be out until the 15th I am worried that the store is a sham because it never told me that.
FYI, I just called them and they said they are out of stock of the Blue one. She asked if I wanted her to check stock on the Green one but I already knew what the answer would be. Store doesn't appear to be a sham but then again, you might want to look into your order if are expecting it sooner than later.
I hope there will be pictures of the cover when people get them. I an intensely eyeballing the green one.
I've also ordered one, from 123cellsupply.com.
I don't have a shipping confirmation yet, either. I've put in several emails to find out the status, but no response yet.
Does the ruggedized battery cover wrap around the front at all, to provide a small protective lip around the screen?
Has anyone actually seen one of these in person?
These are in stock in my local bell store for 29.95. I might consider getting one of these

Really? Where's your local Bell? In the GVA by any chance? I ordered one from Bell online, because it didn't seem like there were any in stock in the Bell stores here in Vancouver... Admittedly, I didn't try very hard to find them.
But my order is still pending, turns out they're out of stock online...

Yes it wraps around the entire phone
They do look nice.... but to be honest, if it's actually silicon.... i dunno if i'd want it. That's basically my issue with the Otterbox cases. That outside cover attracts dust from alternate dimensions of your pocket. I can't imagine what the rugged battery cover might look like if it's the same material.
i want!! thats simply awesome. i wish amazon had green dangit
I just received my Galaxy Tab 10.1 Book Cover today and after couple of hours I can say that I'm pretty happy with it.
The most important reason why I bought that case over the other one (http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=544839), that I was thinking of buying, was that the Book Cover case does not add extra bulk.
I found the case with a very good discount on amazon. It costed £27.95, which is very good price for such quality product. Now the price is much higher on amazon.
On my case there are actually two differences from the original one that I watched a lot of reviews (you can see on my last photo):
1. There is an opening for the power button. Probably this is a good feature, because I found that some people are complaining about powering up and down the tablet by accident when the case closed.
2. The opening for the audio 3.5mm headphone jack is a little bit different. On my case if I plug my headphones when the cover is closed, I can open fully the case while the headphones are still plugged in.
nice, wish mine had that stuff lol

The one he has is the most updated model. I bought one when I first got the Galaxy Tab. The only difference that I can see is that it has a hole for the power button and a redesigned headphone jack hole. The one I have doesn't have a power button hole and I can't open the case with the headphones in. They look exactly the same though, Samsung and Galaxy Tab logos are in the same place, it folds the same way, etc.

On amazon were posted images from the original case. There was no hole for the power buttom and no updated hole for the headphones. So I think, if you want to know if its the new one, you should contact the seller and ask. He should be able to check without opening the packaging because its transparent.
Hope this helps...

Hey folks!
So, I'm willing to buy this case, but would like to ask you: is it tight enough?
As for what I can see in the pictures, there are just four "parts" holding the tablet in the corners, so... is it tight enough? I mean for daily use, no extreme moves and stuff...
Thanks!

The products are in production and expected to be released soon, I will definetly get one from them
I'm really loving that HTC is putting out their own accessories as well, I'm personally getting the flip case.
I never use cases for usual usage, but I'd like to have a kickstand since I plan on also using this for a very tiny but very portable working/entertaining interface. Like I usually jot down a few notes about appointments and lectures, as well as I like watching stuff on my phone

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Does everyone just have the hardback style or did anyone get the bookcase? If you got the bookcase, have you found a wireless charger that works with it? Neither of mine are working on the samsung qi charger.....
As you may have heard Poetic is sending out replacement slimlines to everyone who bought the originals.
I just received mine today and I feel it is a step down from the original.
Here are the points I noticed right away
The front cover is very stiff and not very flexiable (though I could assume over time it will loosen up
When folding the front cover flat againt the back of the tablet, it seems to put the tablet to sleep.
When trying to fold the front cover into the kickstand mode, the magnets do not hold up and the kickstand collapses.
There is a lot less of the microfiber material on the interior of the case now.(not a major flaw, just seems like a step down.)
Did I get a defective replacement? or did they just majorly fail with this new model?
How do you tell the new from the old? I just bought one from amazon and don't have any of those issues.

The original had 3 visible magnets on the edge of the case while the new one has 2
I agree on the micro fiber, its the first thing I noticed. The other points you make I am not noticing. I had no problems with the original.

hmm odd, oh well its still a free case. hopefully no one else has issues with the new model
hmm, I bought my case from an ebay reseller, I contacted him if I can get a replacement.
mine was the old version with 3 magnets I confirmed this.
I didn't receive the new one yet, but i have a question for the 'old' one.. Did the magnet wake/sleep function work for you? Mine seems only to wake 1/10 times and never puts it to sleep
mine was/is perfect.

I never had the original, but I have the replacement. I think it is too loose.

Some people already have it. Here is a picture of one with just the two magnets. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45535958

I just received the navy version today. Not sure if it's the old or new version - can't view the photobucket pic at work. Seems to work fine either way.

I haven't received my replacement yet. I like the original. It wakes and sleeps fine, never had issue folding it back and sleeping. I think the closure is good and strong, I found opening from top edge, works fine though never had issues. I am glad it snapped in tight. I don't want it popping loose on it's own randomly. God forbid dropping it and have it pop out and fly across the room.
I'd love to see a comparison video of both versions. Maybe one of you guys who received a replacement wants to do one.
I like the new version. It feels more "sturdy". I have a dbrand skin on mine (just the back). The N7 doesn't feel loose in the case. Feels fine, but that may be because of the skin adding a little more tightness.

There's nothing to compare visually except the new one has 2 magnets not 3. They are functionally the same. Watch a video review of the original case and that'll suffice.
