Hey everyone I recently received my SupCase Slim Fit Folio case and am pretty impressed. It isn't like super high quality leather but for the price it's pretty much what you would expect. I have the one with the elastic hand strap on the back and also the stylus holder. I really like being able to use the Nexus 7 in bed when laying down, which is where I spend most of my time using the tablet.
The folio features work as advertised and is pretty sturdy. It really is the generic folio we see for every tablet, but that's not a bad thing because everything seems works pretty well. You can actually buy this without the hand strap or with a hand strap and free stylus holder.
Keep in mind though, anyone using the LMT Launcher or something similar may not be able to use it with the case on because the edges of the case go onto the bezels. Also, just so you guys know, I did receive this product from SupCase prior to the release date since I review these products on YouTube.
If you have any questions just let me know!
great review. great production quality. nice to see a review that doesn't seem to be filmed in the kitchen or bathroom.

Haha thanks man, that review you linked to was hilarious.
Thank you for the review. Have you had a chance to see if any Qi chargers work while the device is in the case?

I don't have a QI Charger, but I don't think so. The Poetic Slimline doesn't work according to Poetic, so I doubt this will.
Is there a camera cutout on the back?

I bought this case via Amazon for a ridiculously cheap $6. It's now $13 so I just got lucky. The Supcase is really nice. Has a high quality look and feel, fits tight and elegantly, and works perfectly. The magnetic auto on off is very quick and flawless. I haven't tested it with wireless charging but instructions said it won't work while device is inside the case. I really like this case nevertheless!

I got the black glossy Cruzer case from Amazon and it fits snug and tight...better than my Incipio case I purchased from the Verizon store. The case is nice and durable. The power button and 3 prongs are open and the volume keys are closed with a nice rough texture. The volume keys are very easy to use since they are sealed. I recommend this case to GSM Galaxy Nexus owners and the price is not bad at all.
I gave it a 5 star review on Amazon.
Here is a link...
Check out the other designs Cruzer has... Android print case looks pretty cool too.

How is the fit and finish, for lack of a better term, of the case? How tightly does it fit around the face and how are the areas around the mold seam?
I'm currently using this Qubits case and while it is quite good, it is not perfect.

I have this case and while it fits perfectly it takes away from the look of the phone. Also makes it bulky and just not the same. I have a smoked one if someone wants it. Will sell it for $5.

I got black. I didn't care too much about the color though. I only use the case when I am in route from one location to another. When I'm at home or at the office I take the case off.
So mine shipped way earlier than it was supposed to (i think it said Aug 23) and so far it seems like a great case considering what I paid for it.

The Poetics have a awake unlock when you open it. Not sure on the official travel rubber case.
What's the difference between this and the Moko? I know of the physical differences but I'm asking about the feel or why one would think either is better then the other?

Any issues with the magnet being too strong and triggering the sleep/wake function when folded all the way back? I know the one for the 1st gen N7 had that problem.
Also, how flat does the cover stay on the whole screen, especially after it's been folded into stand mode?

The magnets seem just right, and they only trigger sleep when you close it.
As far at the cover staying flat, mine doesn't want to go completely flat but I assume it will go away over time.
mine shipped out yesterday, can't wait to get it.
On the first gen nexus 7 i also had the same exact case. VERY VERY nice and fits secure and snug. i love this case and can't get over how cheap it is
I'm torn between this and the Moko. Some people say the Moko is better while others say Poetic. Ordered the Moko but it's shipping out on the 23rd so I still have time to cancel and order the Poetic.

hows the front cover fit/sit? my poetic case for the old nexus 7 didnt fit perfectly, it was kinda off centered.
the moko's front cover looks off in the pics that people have been posting...
Mine fits perfectly. It does have a bit of a gap when the flap is closed shut, but it isn't something that will bother me. This case exceeds all my expectations for the quality.

The poetic fits better than the moko. I have both.
Pros
Three magnets on the side to keep a secure closure.
Doesn't open by accident easily when carrying.
Very snug
The button cut outs feel better.
No metal tab (I know some were worried about this)
Adds very little bulk.
Con's
None that I can think of but maybe it costs a little more than the moko.

I did a review on my Qi Charger and tested it with my Poetic Case and it worked
I asked the TreeGloo people asking if theirs works with the Qi charger. They said the slim case does. Got one on order and keep it in a sleeve for now until it comes in.
Thanks for the info, I've been looking at getting a Qi charger for my N7 and wanted to make sure that it would work with my current slim case.

Well one of my friend owns a QI charger for her N7(2013) and its not creating any differences with the cases...and working pretty well...so no worries...
Just received my white Nokia DT900 in the mail today. It charges perfectly with my Moko UltraSlim case on my N7 FHD! AT&T currently has the DT900 on sale for only $24-25 AND in all colors Nokia offers! Amazon has the Nokia DT900 in black for just a few dollars more, but all other colors increase the price by almost double! AT&T allows you to choose whatever color you want for the same low price! Moko UltraSlim case is very similar (almost identical actually) to the Poetic Slimline, Nilkin, and many others. I only have the Moko UltraSlim case, so I cant assure anyone that the DT900 will definitely charge through any other case. That said, I don't see why any of those other cases wouldn't work with the DT900. I highly recommend the Nokia DT900 Qi charger!! Don't just take my word for it though, do a Google search for "Nokia DT900" and see for yourself the positive reviews after positive reviews and happy customers for this charger with multiple devices and multiple cases!

Only option for a "Water Resistent" case is the Pelican 1040 case. Probably not what you are looking for.
nothing specific
If you need waterproof right now there are generic bag cases such as: Random Generic Water Resistant Bag from Amazon. Which should fit our phones with pretty much any standard case on them.
Still looking for an actual fitted case (not pouch) for N5 which is waterproof. Guess will have to wait a while...

I don't think there is reputable manufacturers out there that is interesting in making ANY waterproof case for ANY Nexus device.
If you search, there is not even one for the Nexus 4.... There are tons of em for iOS device..and some make one for S4..but that's it.
how could that thing be waterproof?

How protective are aluminum cases though? I feel like TPU/plastic combos would probably protect the best since it absorbs shock better than metal.

Why does that one bottom corner stick out like that? I'm guessing that's how the case clamps together. Seems like it wouldn't feel very nice.
Yeah not bad, but I'm not a fan of Florida sticking out of the corner there. Always making a mess of things!
Also with it being an Aluminum bumper, I'm pretty sure it's aesthetics only. That's a relatively soft metal, especially with how thin is looks. Any real bump and it will probably dent/scratch easily. It's like using a thicker version of the HTC One as a protective case.

I am holding off as well. Even with the screws, not sure if it'd fit in my Seidio holster without scuffing the crap out of it. However whenever I visit this thread and look online at the pics, it seems unbalanced to me because of the screws.
Waiting for feedback on the aluminum bumper. I'm interested to find out if the bumper keep the back of the phone off of surfaces. It looks like it wouldn't protect the back of the phone at all.
