I-Blason Slim Case for Hisense Sero 7 Pro

I've been a big fan of the slim cases that Blurex has made for the 7" tablets, specifically the Acer A100 and Nexus 7. So, when I picked up a Hisense Sero 7 Pro, I contacted Blurex to see if they intended to produce a case for it. Sadly, they passed, but I noticed a similar case for the $99 Sero 7 on I-Blason's site. It lacked the cut-out for the rear-facing camera, but otherwise looked like a nice option. Well, about a week ago I spotted the same case for the Pro version being offered on Amazon for $19.95 and ordered it. The package arrived yesterday and so far I'm very pleased with the fit and build quality of the case.
Like the Blurex cases, it doesn't cover the front glass as all. It protects the corners and offers easy access to all the ports and buttons. Unlike Blurex (which uses a leather covered spring-clip), I-Blason's case has a plastic clip on the side to hold the cover closed. It's attached to the case with elastic and opens easily enough with one hand. You can also use the clip to secure the flap when the case is open. As long as the plastic doesn't break, it seems like a nice feature. If someone wanted to lose the clip, and X-acto blade and some sandpaper would make easy work of it.
It also has a built-in hand strap which is nicely made as well. There's a piece of Velcro which holds the hinged part of the back leather to the plastic case. If you open it, the case acts as a 3-position stand for the tablet in landscape mode. The only this that's a little strange is the hinge on the front cover. I've played with the case for a day, and haven't found a situation where the hinge actual comes into play. In fact, it actually causes the cover to pop-up slightly when it's closed, although I'm sure it will flatten out after a couple days.
The verdict? I'm really and impressed with this case. It's nicely designed and has a high-quality build. For people who aren't a fan of cases that add bulk or cover the bezel, I highly recommend the I-Blason Slim Case.

That looks like a universal case for 7 inch tablets. Does it have cutouts for the speakers and the back camera?

Hope so. Not a deal breaker I hardly use the camera to take pics more of a around the house tablet for me. I'll update when I get it. After more reading I noticed it said MD-702 tablet in the listing. I contacted the seller. I have yet to have my coffee this morning and just saw it held business cards and fit the Sero.

Thanks to the OP for your pics and review. I just bought this case.

The hinge fold on the cover is there for "keyboard" mode.
Works well, doesn't bounce around and I was pleasantly surprised how quickly I was able to mash out some text considering how highly I regard the iOS keyboard on the full-size iPad.
My only complaint about the case is the "light colored" micro-fiber interior, which I'm afraid will get nasty with hand grossness as time goes on.

Returned my case, plastic clip already broke. Will keep an eye out for something new.

When I saw that part of the description of the case I wondered. There's a very similar case available for the Nexus 7 that uses the plastic clip design and either the thread here at XDA on the case or the Amazon reviews were full of complaints about the same problem with the clip breaking. Sorry to hear that this one suffers from the same thing.

Yep if the case was cheaper I could deal with the broken clip but for $20 it's going back.

They are going to discontinue this case. They sent me an email
We are out of the heated black cases and it is likely they will be discontinued due to a defect with the clasp.

Refund
I did get a refund for my case though...... I didn't expect it but they wanted me to give a product review for this case and I told them honestly that my clasp broke after 2 weeks of use.... Next email was they refunded...

[POLL] Poetic Slimline vs Moko Ultra Slim

How many people have both cases and if you do, which one do you prefer?
Poetic Slimline - http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimline-Function-Manufacturer-Warranty/dp/B00E5NOXM4
Moko Ultra Slim - http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Google-New-Nexus-Case/dp/B00CKA1IYU

I think they are going to extremely close in specs. I imagine both would be made of the same type of material and both close to each other in most regards.
I really think it comes down to preference on the cutouts and warranty policy.

I think the biggest difference is how the magnets are implemented. The Moko has that clasp on the center of the right edge while I believe the Poetic has 3 magnets distributed along that same edge. I've also read that there may be some minor differences in the quality of the material and the fit of the plastic backing.

Yea I liked my old Poetic how well it closed. The downside is that it required a whole strip of plastic down the side. The Moko only has 1 magnet and less plastic I think.

This is for people who have received or ordered both. I know there are a few but I'm guessing not a lot of people have both cases yet since they've just started shipping out. I also ordered both but figured it would be a cool to keep a running tab for people who are considering one or the other in the future.

From what I've seen in the pictures, The Moko just has a gap where the volume rocker and power button is.

I prefer poetic as it provides better protection around the buttons and speakers.

I don't have both. I just read reviews on the forum and ordered the Poetic. Cannot compare.
But poetic offers 3-year warranty. Cannot go wrong.

The poetic warranty is really nice. They've replaced 3 of mine from last year, no questions asked. When the cover got worn, I'd shoot them an email with my amazon confirmation number and another case would arrive in a few days.
I think Moko has a warranty but unsure of the process. Both are cheaply made cases and won't last past a couple months of heavy usage. The "plastic" cover will start to break at the folds.

I prefer the Poetic though. It feels better on the tablet and looks better. The Poetic lays flat better also.

I just got the Poetic slimline today in the mail. It is an amazing case, and built well. The only downside is I can NOT get the auto wake/sleep from the magnets to work. This is something I have gotten used to with my 1st gen. Nexus 7, and once you have a feature, it's hard to live without it. I'm contacting Poetic for a replacement or return. Such a bummer, because this case is truly awesome.

Cool, will try it when I get home in about an hour. I also ordered this case a few days after I got my Nexus 7 (July 26th), and just got the case today. I forgot I even ordered it, and it's by far the longest period of time I've had to wait for a product from Amazon. If it doesn't work, I'm going to email Poetic. I'll update with pictures.

Here are the better cokparison pictures I just took.
Poetic is first and then Moko. I also put them side by side to show the micro fiber difference. The poetic feels better with that part. Also like some mentioned be sure to be carfule taking it out as it does hold the tablet tightly. However if you take it out from inside first it should be eaiser. I did not have any issues also with back seperating.

VSTN® Nexus 7 case Review [Pics inside]

So i got this case today from amazon. Its very similar to the moko and poetic slimline case. When I got this case it cost $5.99 but it seems the priced raised today by a dollar or so. Overall its a pretty nice case with no complaints so far. Only thing is when I try to bend the case into a stand to watch videos, it does NOT stay it place. Maybe after a while it will but for now its not working so well. I will compare to the Poetic slimline once I get that one in the mail.

Holy crap, this case looks identical to my Moko Case:

Except the silver thing on the lid says "Moko" LOL.

I call shenanigans on this one. They could have changed it up a little to make it different from the Moko.

I think your right. Looking at my case and looking at the moko case pictures on amazon and others have posted, it looks EXACTLY IDENTICAL to my case. Only difference is the MOKO logo on the silver metal, since mines is clear.

None of this is surprising.
Most just order in quantity from China and get them imprinted or branded with their own.

I received the case yesterday as well and have the same issue getting it to stand with the cover folded back. I removed the metal clasp on the front just to be safe from possible scratching. The auto wake feature still seems to work even without the metal claps I noticed. Overall quality feels ok for what I paid. Will be ok for a temp case until something better comes

These cases are cool but I've had problems with them cracking and breaking apart in the past. As an aside, that's a really funky old CRT TV man. Reminds me of college 12 years ago

I just received the same case. Had the same issue. To make it stand properly, the magnet needs to connect with the other magnet. It will make a triangle. At first I was just rolling it back, but that wouldn't work. Roll it till you feel the magnets connect, and it will stand.

SPIGEN Google Nexus 5 Slim [Ultra Fit] *pictures*

I just received my n5 plus the case and thought I might give my first impression on the " [Non-Slip] SPIGEN Google Nexus 5 Case Slim [Ultra Fit] [Smooth Black] Premium SF Coated Matte Hard Case" available on amazon.
First if all, the case fit perfectly on the phone with no play what so ever. It has an soft smooth feel almost close to the feel of the all black nexus 5. Although it probably won't provide as much protection as a bumper case or all around case it keep the profile of the phone very slim. It holds up very well against finger prints. I probably wouldn't recommend it to a person that drops their phone a lot. I had a ringke slim case on my n4 and never had a problem, even with a few drop my n4 is still in pristine condition.
How does it compare to the ringke? I not sure if the texture of the n5 ringke slim is the same as the n4 but it has a more firmed plastic touch then the spigen. I think it's worth the extra $1 or $2. Spigen also include a screen protector with this case.
At $9.99 on amazon prime it is a steal for the quality.

Goood, give us the pics

Pics please... Im waiting on my white one.
OP, did you get the screen protector too? How was it?

Heads up, it's the same price from spigen on eBay and comes with one of their pet screen protectors

The one I ordered through Amazon came with a screen protector. I was surprised because it did not mention anything about that on their page.

Thank you for the pics. Can you tell us what the fit is like? Is it comparable to the Ringke Slim for the N4? (most people on this forum own/owned both products ) Also, how does the build feel - cheap or premium? Thanks again.

The fit is perfect but it was the same on the ringke even after a year it still held on tight and I expect this would be the same quality. As for which feel more premium? I would probably say the spigen has the tiny edge on that because of the softer Matt touch. The difference isn't by much and you can't go wrong with either.
How well would it hold up, I still don't know. But at $10 I'm not loosing much.

Does the tight fit around the flash cause any issues when taking photos?

Got my N5 and Spigen ultra fit today. Not a fan of it, I should have looked at it more carefully. Don't like how little coverage there is on the top and bottom.
I'm hoping the Chinese company that I bought my TPU case for my N4 on Amazon comes out with a N5 version. I think it was like $.79 with $2 shipping. Best case out of 4-5 I bought for the N4.

I have the white case on my black N5, it looks great. My only concern with this case is that it is sharp on the bottom where I use my pinky to hold the phone. It's nothing some sand paper can't fix. It looks like the Ringke has more rounded edges, which might be more comfortable.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

Just throwing my 2 cents in. I would highly recommend against this case. While the overall quality is nice, the top and bottom portions of the case are very sharp. I should not have to take out sand paper and take that off after buying a $10 piece of plastic that probably costs 10 cents to make. Spiegen will be getting a complaint from me.

I agree with this. The case looks really nice and feels high quality but the top and bottom are ridiculously sharp. I like to rest my pinky under my phone when I use it but I can't with this case because it is too painful. Hopefully this will be fixed in a revision.

For what it's worth, I have removed the case and put it back on several time and do not see any scratches. It fits on way too snug for my tastes(it is incredibly difficult to take off) so I was afraid it would mess up my phone. But so far no issues. In fact one of the times I was having real trouble getting it off and I noticed white stuff on the corner of the phone when I finally got it off. It appears that the phone will scratch the case rather than the case scratching the phone.

THINNEST case w/auto-wake function?

I want something as close to the iPad Smart Case as possible: super-thin, able to function as a stand, but with the auto-wake functionality. Any suggestions?

I am also using the Poetic Slimline. Very happy with it. Auto-wake, miracast with PTV3000 and wireless charging with Lugulake all work properly when using this case.

I bought the Nillkin V Series because it was the sleekest case I could find. It fulfills the two conditions in the thread title, but the stand function seems a bit unstable.
I take that thing everywhere and it's been holding up quite well.
People have been talking about the Mofi case lately, but it's only available in green, orange, brown and teal (which Mofi laughingly calls blue).
The brown version is only available on ebay.
The new cases by Seido are also worth a look -- though if you want one, you might want to wait for a sale.

MoKo case and I'm very pleased
I got the MoKo when it first came out, shortly after I got the N7. I've been very happy with it, the tablet is held firmly, but can be removed without a lot of force. I have another very similar case that holds the tablet so tight that I'm concerned when I try to remove it (I've decided to use that one for a car mount system I'm building as I know there's no chance it will fall out!) The smart on/off works great and the cover stays closed with magnets also. It took me a little while to get the bend lines to flex properly so that the stand functions worked, but after a few days it has been no problem. It still looks new after 4 months, no frayed edges, it goes with me everywhere, everyday. It's got to be one of the best cases I've ever had (no I don't work for the company, nor do any friends or relatives).

Brown is normally a low-key color, but Mofi outlines it in white, which makes it look garish.
I liked the orange case best myself but wish the surrounding plastic were black.
Still, the few people who own both the MoKo and Mofi cases and post here have claimed the Mofi is noticeably better made.
How are the magnets on your MoKo -- does the cover stay closed if you hold it upside down? Does the stand stay in place? I've read good things about those features.

Google released their official case yesterday on play store.

Just purchased and "put on" the rooCASE Origami Slimshell. It's got a polycarbonate shell back and a light flap (which turns on/off the unit) which can be "folded" to support the unit in landscape or portrait mode. I have a Nexus 7 (2012) I'm about to sell on which I used both the Speck Fitfolio and an Incipio unir. I preferred the Speck because of its clasp, but I understand that the Speck version for the Nexus FHD 2013 doesn't have the magnet for on/off ability.
If you want slim, take a look at the rooCASE. With the case on the unit is still just about a half inch thick.

The magnet is very good but the stand is a bit stiff even after using it for months and months on end so it doesn't always stay in but that's a minor inconvenience, but for the most part it works fine even when the stand comes out it still tends to stay in the same spot so I'm not really disappointed.

What's odd about the Play Store's specs for the black, gray/red, white/red and blue/red Nexus 7 2013 cases is that no mention is made of the kinds of materials used or whether there are magnets. What's odd about the ad copy is that no mention is made of features other than the fit's being exact.
I wouldn't want to spend $50 on a case for a $270 device -- even a white 32GB N7 (2013) -- but I'd be especially reticent not knowing if the interior was real or synthetic leather or the exterior, real fabric -- let alone whether the cover would actually stay closed.

The Google cover has no magnets anywhere. The gray is a denim-like fabric and the other two felt like synthetic leather to me. All the colors smell horrible.
Don't buy the official Google case.

I've owned 2 first Gen N7s and the Moko has been by far my favorite case - has anyone used both on the Gen 2 and can offer any opinions?

MoKo case has been excellent both function AND value
I use MoKo for Nexus 7 (2013), iPad mini, and iPad Air. It has been outstanding for ALL tablets in a variety of environments. It fits snugly, all ports and holes line up nice and square. Wireless charging perfect. The price <$20 incl. shipping.. (The Apple Air case is almost $90, MoKo gets the job done for under $20 shipping incl. I'd buy a MoKo in a heartbeat for my HP TouchPad if I could locate one. I have about half a dozen other cases for different usages, but the MoKo is on %90 of the time. GOOD STUFF!
