Says available August 9th. Not bad for $5 as a temp case, but by then I'd expect to have a real case.
I've used Poetic brand and they aren't bad, but this version is the bottom feeder. Even at $5 it is a waste of money. IMO.

It was $40 earlier.

Looks like a good deal, at $5 you can't ask for more

There is also their slimline case showing up, I grabbed one as it was the case I most liked on my first gen 7

Not too familiar with amazon. It says it ships August 23, what's the chances of getting screwed, after that time are you still able to dispute purchases?

not to **** on the thread, but that looks like really poorly constructed leather.
instead of spending money on a case, this time i just spent $60 on a squaretrade accident warranty policy. I think the new nexus 7 is gorgeous and I couldn't bear to keep it behind a case.

Opinions! A few bucks for a cheap case will suffice for many until quality cases appear......at least for me.

Yea I agree the poetic slimline case looks great till I can get the official premium case.

I like the look and function of the poetic slim case, but can't wait until the 23rd for it to come in stock.
I'm thinking of just ponying up the extra for the Asus sleeve. I like the thought of having it protected in transport but using it bare. Using it at a stand is nice too.

Nice find. Didn't realize this case was available. I thought it was only that crappy flip case.

I'd make sure that fits before you buy it. The Description doesn't list the new n7 which is Taller than the original. That is just a generic 7" tablet case made by Asus.

Poetic revolution case

Rumor has it that preorder will start tomorrow and the case will be available in about a month.
I have one of these for my original nexus 7 and its really good for the price. Just figured I'd pass on the info.

Im gonna have to pass. I made the mistake of buying the Slimline for my OG N7 and it was terrible. Left marks on the screen and practically fell apart. And I hardly even used the flippin case. Only put it on when I was traveling about. I had it for about 5 months, and by the 4rth month it was already fraying at the edges.

I had the same problems with the slim case. I have had the revolution for my nexus 7 for a long time and it's in Greddy shape.
BTW the new case is on amazon now for $20

What a rip off
I'd rather get best buy protection and go naked with that price
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2

FYI, Amazon Just Dropped the Price on this Cae Its now Only $14.99 Free Shipping! , BTW I pre-Ordered Both The Revolution and the Slimline, heck for $20 shipped on both, its bang for buck, I've had Poetic in the past, Quality is not the best but not the worst either;for me it's enough; I'm really careful with my devices I'll bet they'll last me!
PS. I trust My N4 with a Poetic Atmosphere.
Revolution Case Link---> http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-REVOLU...sr=8-1&keywords=poetic+nexus+7+fhd+revolution

Thanks for the update. Any idea how OK can get them to honor that price instead of the $20 I already ordered out at?
As far as the cases go I really, really like the one that I have for my nexus 7. I was looking for a defender case but I wasn't about to spend $70 on one. I haven't really been happy with defender cases lately anyways. After buying one for my note 2 I'll never buy one again.
The revolution case is defender like, can be had for less than half the cost and the button press is easy and it feels good in hand. I bought one of the first runs and it had the blurry screen protector. I contacted poetic and they sent me two replacements..... It took a month or so to get them made amnd to me but they made good. While I was waiting I just knocked the one out and installed a stock on one on the screen.
Anyways ever since I got the new front its been on, clear and nice and I don't think twice about letting my toddler use the tablet.

Awesome. I just checked my shipment and it looks like it was just shipped 12 hours ago even tho I got a email from amazon saying it shipped before that. Kinda bummed, I've been waiting a long time for this case. I've actually been using my old nexus 7 all the time just because I like the way it feels in my hand with the case on.
Looks like I'll be happy with the case when I get it tho.

Ordered one of these myself. Looked very decent. Been looking for something that has decent protection as my kids broke the screen on my first generation that I'm still trying to figure out what to do with. Estimated delivery date is Monday, however I'm doubtful as the tracking days it's been in San Francisco since the 19th.

Is anybody else's screen protector very cloudy? Mine is cloudy and has specs that kind of look like a screen protector placed on a dirty screen. This is the screen protector however, and not the screen being dirty.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Make sure you removed the plastic protector film on the outside as well as the inside of the built in screen protector.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

Much better thank you. It was the inside cover that I didn't know was there. There is some distortion, giving a rainbow like look, but that's something I expect I guess from a screen protector that is not adhesively bonded.

That rainbow effect never goes away either. My original nex7 case still has it. It's not bad once the screen turns on.
This case is way better than the original case. only thing I don't like is the horizontal stand, it leans back farther than the original nexus 7 case.

Hey can you give some specifics on why this case is no good? I was really interested in their portrait view mode..

For the money it's not that bad. Mine is well made and the smell went away after a few days. I have two Roocases....the slim folio and the dual view.

Portrait view mode fails. I tired to get mine to work properly in portrait view and it would not work. It kept slipping down.

Too cheap, bad made, bad leather imitation, too thick, device doesn't fit well, stupid "addons" such as sd-card holders (for the card-less device!), ugly pen/stylus. And (as I've said) it smells like a "cancer greeting from China" - awful!

It was/is a decent cheap $3.00 case that I could get quickly. Serves the purpose until I convince myself to get ta Portenzo case.

I actually just got my case in the mail and I'm pretty happy with it! It does smell funny and the camera hole doesn't match up with the camera perfectly but for three bucks I'll live with it. I also add two pieces of velcro so I can have it in portrait mode without sliding.

I agree that its not a bad case for $3. Good first case while waiting for other better ones to come out, the smell also does go away.

Tech armour Screen Protectors.

Anyone have these. Going for $8 shipped on amazon. I prefer dry app SP and tend to just buy the cheap ones.

I love Tech Armor. Screen protectors are quality, and they have a really good policy of sending additional protectors if you mess up application.
However, this is for the first gen Nexus 7. Just making sure you saw that.
I ended up getting a 3 pack of protectors from Rearth. Same price. Didn't get them yet, so can't speak to quality.

Good catch. I searched nexus 7 fhd and that came up. Should have looked closer. Either way I didn't order one.

i saw these on amazon too, in general it seems like techarmour gets good reviews. so thinking ill give it a shot

I had a great experience with tech armor on my original nexus.
Protector is durable, easy to apply

Was just about to post a link here for this case. I tried to official premium case and it didn't fit. I must say, the "origami" flip cover is awesome & reminds me of the Asus TFP origami cover, AND it has magnetic wake! I'm sold.
Ordered one and went ahead and got the Poetic case too while I wait for this one. :good:

Ordered a black one at the end of August for 0.1 cent plus 4.95 shipping. Just ordered another..this time red 4.95 plus another 4.95 for shipping. Two cases for $15 total shipped is a great deal.

Nice find, thanks for sharing!! Just wish I could get it for $.01 and free shipping with Amazon Prime! That would be a sweet deal! I'm loving my all white Moko UltraSlim and my all white folio case that I only paid $1.79 shipped for that I won in an eBay auction, so I don't think I'd really ever need/use a 3rd case. Great deal for any one in the market for a case though!!
