Can't believe how nifty this case is. It has a hard back , flip cover and wake lock !! Yet it doesn't add much bulk, just how I like it. The ports are nice and easy to access. The case hugs the device nicely and its sleek looking. Unlike those leather crap around the bezel .
Overall I was planning to get a premium case but for this price I might just skip the premium case. Unless its reasonably priced.

Nice, I am still waiting for mine. Does the magnetic lock cover stay closed if you hold the tablet upside down?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Yes! It's magnetic . The magnet also snap into the wake lock magnet as you fold in a stand as well so it doesn't unfold itself. Kinda smart...

Tell me more about that metal piece. I'm afraid it may scratch the screen when you close the cover and press against it. What's your experience? Care to try?

Looks nice, I ordered the same one as well as the Poetic slimline.
When did you order yours? I was under the impression that they weren't being shipped until the 16th.
Now it says the 20th for shipping.
Look good. I ordered a white one. Yea I thought they were shipping out the 20th.
Oddly enough my portenzo hasn't arrived and said it was supposed to be done by the 9th. This thing really needs a case cause I'm so paranoid with it right now.

If you were worried you could always apply some clear packing tape over the metal part. That stuff sticks like...packing tape!
How sturdy is it when in stand form (both high and low). It it really stable?

I like this one better as it looks a bit more uniform and covers the side buttons and the bottom better. Poetic makes some nice cases

I can confirm it's sturdy enough because the magnets keep the cover in place so it doesn't unfold itself. It also folds both ways meaning you can have the inside of the cover showing or the black side showing.

From the nexus 10 review the moko is generally better build quality than poetic... Plus covering the side and bottom just makes it more difficult to use them... Disclaimer I have the moko for nexus 10... Its great for the price

Let me know how bulky that ends up being. Or if it adds a decent lip to the front of the phone. I was looking at some of the other Tridea models as well, but I want something that will keep the face of the phone off of the desk if I have it upside down.

My reasoning for staying away from either of the 2 tridea bumper cases is that the back is so exposed it looks like the camera lens would touch the surface of whatever you lay it on and get scratched

I just found these cases and then stumbled upon this review. I'm going to order the blue one, since I have the blue phone. I really like the brown one, but there's no way it would look that good with the blue phone.

Not until they start manufacturing them. Shipping mid to late August IIRC.
I think your SOL. Make one out of paper clips, bull dog clips or card board. There are plenty of YouTube videos about making a tablet stand.

I haven't had any luck finding a case yet in the mall and the cases at the store were ugly. I hate shopping amazon bc the pics never show the real quality and protection. Just curious as to what people are using as far as brands thus far. I love the feel but I need to protect this $708 investment!

I just received my Spigen case - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DCICXMU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Fitment is good, it adds minimal thickness to the device, and seems like it will add just enough protection to make me happy. I had a similar case on my Note II and was very happy.

decided to go with a cheap TPU for just under $2 shipped from ebay, I prefer TPU over the minimalist cases because it protects the top and bottom of the phone.

A little off topic, but care to share your lockscreen app/theme?
And I actually purchased that same Diztronic case thanks to your post in the other thread. I figured it was pretty simplistic enough to get me through as I wait for my neo hybrid.
