Which case would you choose? - Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories

I've been looking for a decent case for the new nexus 7(2013).
I've searched for a few days and finally these three products caught my eye.
1. Kayscase X-shape TPU back case - $10.95
All of the reviews are pretty favorable and it actually looks pretty decent, too. However, I'm just worried that this one is kinda too thin to protect the device properly.
2. Poetic Graphgrip Silicon case - $8.95
I actually like this one the most because it looks sturdy and not too thick or thin and I'm pretty sure that this one will protect my device very well. Also, the prices is OK, too.
However, the problem is everybody is complaining about the smell. Reviewers say it has the very strong smell of either diesel or kerosene. I'm not sure putting it outside to air out will make it better or not.
3. Mivizu Neoprene Sleeve Zip case - $11.95
This one is a sleeve case. The case looks pretty decent but there are not many reviews for this one. I'm not sure it's because whether people don't like a sleeve case or this case just sucks.
What do you guys think about these three?

I'm waiting for a full matte tpu case. In the meantime I just ordered this - http://www.etsy.com/listing/112753793/new-nexus-7-case-sleeve-pouch-2nd-gen?ref=cat_gallery_1. You can mix match your colors.

Thanks for the link ! I actually wanted to put links as well but i couldn't do that because this was my first post
By the way, which one do you think is the better for the nexus 7(2013) , folio case or silicon case?

Luxmo DInc2 TPU Case Review

So I went out on a limb and bought the Luxmo HTC Incredible 2/ 6350 Mix Protector Case in black from Overstock.com
I knew I wanted a TPU case based on the reviews some of you already posted, and I really liked the look of this case with the mixed glossy and matte finish...so I pulled the trigger . Both finishes are really very clean, especially the matte part- it seems like its an extension of the original phone surface (and just as flexible as any other TPU). No issues with fit, the case is snug all around. All cutouts align appropriately, and the volume rocker and power buttons are molded which gives them the added stiffness so they aren't pressed accidentally. Finally, the grips on the side make it especially study in your hand.
Check out the pics (sorry I wasn't able to take photos of the case on the phone...my phone is my only camera at the moment). Hope this helps!
Wow, good looking case. Is it still easy to slip in and out of pockets?
Edit: oh well, just ordered one. Cheap too.
Sent from my ADR6350VW
It fits very snug around the phone so its not much more bulk, and like other TPU cases it isn't clingy to your clothing like silicone is. So overall I'd say it's still relatively easy to take in an out of my pocket.
i ordered on ebay. still waiting for mine. these "s-line" tpu cases seem very popular. theres one for many other phones.
I loved mine when I had my thunderbolt so I had to get one for this phone too. I love the side grips on this case.

Wow, pretty good case, better than most tpu cases ive seen. You can actually use the buttons still without squeezing the life out of the phone. I haven't been a case guy in the past, but i think this converted me

i got mine today and again it did not disappoint. fits perfect. looks great. i had this same type of case on the evo 3d and iphone4 before too.
Just ordered mine today. I picked up two of these for $6 on ebay.
I have a TPU gloss that I've been using since I got my Dinc2 and love it. The matte looks even better.....I'm not real into the shiny look! Ordering now!

Having a tough time deciding on a case

I thought about getting the ballistic case, but I honestly don't need something that big unless I'm out in the field in the military, and for those I don't bring my tablets, the phone is good enough
now I'm looking at the slim cases just for basic protection and I have found a few
Here are my choices -
AYL® High Quality Slim Leather Case Folio
This one is nice, but no prime on amazon (I like to use that feature for fast free shipping and get my money's worth lol) but I think the ratings are skewed because the company sends you a stylus pen if you write a positive review... so everyone is rating the damn thing a 5 star. it's ridiculous and I can't trust the reviews on that thing because of it...
Body Glove Moto Xoom Phantom Case
It's an inexpensive case that seems ok like a not as tough ballistic case, but no screen cover which I kind of want (and no tablet stand)
Acase Slim Leather Folio Case
This thing seems identical to the AYL and I can't tell a damn difference, and it has prime. some people said it doesn't stay put when you have it on tilt while you type though...
rooCASE Executive Portfolio (Black) Leather Case Cover
Now I really like this one and it looks professional but no stand for it, so I don't know about that...
Snugg Motorola Xoom Case Cover and Flip Stand
Just a very sleek nice looking case, I love that white sticthing
I just bought the rooCase and it's nice...a bit bulky, not really slim, unless you use the inner sleeve by itself, but it's very protective and the case doubles as a stand. It's like carrying around a rather thick agenda, with all the pros and cons of that.
AYL CASE
Got the AYL case 2 weeks ago, did not receive that Stylus promotion though.
Overall I would give it a 4.5/5 as its all good except that the top is closed just by pure pressie, so I'm afraid after constant usage the stitching will start to give out.
I would recommend it though. Solid case.
How about that acase slim? it looks identical...
that roocase I think is bit too much for what I want it.

I'd say go with the AYL case... it looks nearly identical, to the carbon fiber folio case from kevikev:
http://www.shop.kevikev.com/Motorol...r-Multi-View-Case-Folio-Stand-YCASECFXOOM.htm
I've had the kevikev case for about 6 months now, and I absolutely love it. I haven't even thought about another case. I notice the AYL case has a cutout for charging and ports too which is nice.

I love that case. The CF look is real nice too, I might go for that case when it's in stock. Shame not on amazon

I do not have any of those cases, I have a zoogue, but I could not use a case without a stand. No stand narrows your choices a bit.

Found these cases on ebay, which do you think is best?

I found these cases on ebay and can't beside between the 3. Which do you think is better and why? Thanks.

ewwww. all 3 of them. tpu or ringke rearth case ftw.
Why do you say that? Do you have the Rearth? How is it? I liked these cases because they look like a colorful otterbox.
thinking about getting a ringke rearth. they look nice. i just think they're ugly because they're so fat and bulky. but you may need the protection so function over form in that case. i don't need that much protection so function and form are equal for me. i had an otterbox once for a nokia e71 and i needed it then, but it was awful big and a pain in the ass sometimes. such a pain that i started carrying in my pocket instead of holster and i lost it somehow. yes, from my pocket. i was pissed.
The 2nd and 3rd resemble the ballistic shell gel cases, but uglier. I have a rearth ringke slim and i like it. I also have a couple diztronic tpu cases and like them as well.
I ended up ordering a Seidio active case for mine $29 after taxes, I looked at other cases that would fit with the extended back but I've always gone with Seidio on my other devices and just couldn't stray away.

I have the first link case identical. I got it yesterday. The black is a rubber piece that goes around the red plastic does a very poor job. It would not survive a fall high than 3 feet. I will be returning mine. I am now looking for a white case and a good holster. Any suggestions are great.
Hmmm, i don't know which to pick. The reason I wanted to buy one off of ebay is because I have $25 ebay bucks. I originally liked the metallic but I heard it was slippery so I'm starting to think I should go with the matte black. Can anyone find one on ebay?
That first one looks sketchy, idk looks cheap. id kinda not get any of those. Just get an Otterbox, thats basically what these are posing. I realize these are cheaper but also these look it. If not then maybe their are other brands that could get you some reliability. I personally dont know because i rocked my D1 naked for two years and im rocking a cruzer on my Nexus. I also have an otterbox as a backup (thats the tough case).
I currently have the otter box but I would like to add some color which is why I am looking at these cases.

Good case with grip

I finally got my Note about a month ago and now I've been on the search for a good case with a good grip. I had a Case-mate POP for my Infuse and it was awesome.
I ended up picking up a Sparco (how ever you spell it) case from AT&T but for 40 bucks and being all plastic I knew I wouldn't like it. I ended up returning it and got a Seidio case. I thought having that black flexible material would provide a good grip but it doesn't, at least not for me, the plastic on the Seidio case provides better grip.
Not to make this to long, I'm just looking for a case that provides good protection and awesome grip. Anyone have good sugestions?
Case-mate POP for the Samsung Note....please!!!
Have you given the seidio case a thought? It looks like it was designed to give you a grip. Hehe.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Yes I have, I'm using the Seidio case right now and I thought it would have plenty of grip but it has less than the Sparco. When I'm texting I feel the Note slipping at times. I love the look of the Seidio but as far as actually use I can't stand it.
I'm looking at the Case Mate Tough right now but I was curious how much grip it provides. Spending another 40 bucks on a case is hard, I'm going to have more money invested in Cases than what I spent on the phone itselt haha.
Hey zkyevolved - I am using the el cheapo TPU cases that you get on ebay for less than $3. I know it sounds cheap (cos it is) but have found the build quality good, and the ribbed texture provided on each side is great for improving grip.
I've tried leather flip cases but they don't grip right. And using the note without a case is tricky - it looks amazing but is so slippery!
I was looking at those TPU cases at Newegg and the few times I've heard of them they've all been positive..and I guess for 3 bucks its not like your spending a lot to try them out.
I'll think I'll order one from Newegg and try it out.
I use TPU cases, and I just recently got this one:
http://www.ebay.es/itm/260972749866
Which is also quite good. I'll probably be using this one for a while. It was cheap, fairly fast delivery and it fits. The silicone is quite flimsy, but that's why it has the skeleton on it! It protects fairly well and it's certainly grippy. I thought this case would be a cheapo replica of the Seidio, I was wrong. If the Seidio isn't any good, then maybe the Seidio is the knock-off (and up!) case! hahaha.
Best of luck

Time to change my TPU cases for a combo with silicone!

I always go back to Diztronic.

I bought 3 cases for my xl 2, and although the other two were nice cases, they weren't diztronic cases. The first one i bought was this ringke case, and it was a pretty solid case, though it was a little slippery and the texture on the back meant my popsocket wouldn't stick to the phone. The second one i bought is this one by a chinese company called x-level, it was a really interesting super thin tpu case, and was nice but didn't have a lip to protect the screen and was a little too thin for my liking(and my popsocket didn't stick to it well either).
After trying these two and them not working out, I did what I always do, I ordered a diztronic case which I received yesterday and it is perfect, just like every one I've had previous(Nexus 6, 6p, xl 1). Diztronic and Cruzerlite were the only companies I trusted with tpu cases and I used to swap between the two throughout the year, and now that Cruzerlite is gone, looks like my first and only choice from now on will be Diztronic, and you know what? I'm perfectly okay with that. Honestly, they are one of the best case manufacturers out there, consistently great products at a great price. The only thing I could complain about is the looks of their cases are a bit bland but I'm just accepting that functionality is more important.
I bought a diztronic case for my Shamu which I still carry on me and the only time it wasn't in the case was just to clean it every once in a while. I'm probably going to buy one for my pixel but just waiting to see if they come out with another variant with more corner protection.

5x to pixel now pixel XL 2..these cases never disappoint...
I swear by Diztronic. Put them on all my phones and recommend to everyone. I've won over a bunch of friends and coworkers who were stuck with crappy, ugly cases.
Yeah, I want to see some photos with the device.
Especially the thinnest side of it.
How is the grippy feeling? good grip?
DO you guys know if popsockets stick to the diztronic cases?
this probably doesn't apply for users of clear cases, but i used to swear by diztronic until i found caseology - much better build, fit, and drop protection while still remaining slim
