Check out this email I received:
Dear Poetic Customers,
Thank you for ordering Poetic Slimline Case for Google Nexus 7 FHD 2nd Gen. Since this product’s release, we have received and reviewed your Feedback. We found three common issues in your feedback on this case that we are working to resolve for you.
1.Case causes tablet to go to sleep when case is folded back.
2.Tight fit around tablet causing difficulty removing the case
3.Magnetic strength on closure causing difficulty to open - We will be removing the middle one of the three magnets.
We apologize for these issues, but are appreciative of your feedback. To resolve these issues we will be releasing an improved final version of this case. Customers who have purchased our original version of SlimLine for Google Nexus 7 FHD 2nd Gen will be shipped automatically a FREE of charge replacement of our improved final version of SlimLine for Google Nexus 7 FHD 2nd Gen, without needing to contact us.
We are expecting to ship our improved final version of SlimLine for Google Nexus 7 FHD 2nd Gen out around Sept 20th 2013. You don’t need to contact us, we will automatically send out free replacement out for you.
Thank you for your patience and understanding on this matter.
We appreciate your continued support of Poetic.
Regards,
Customer Service Team
Great Company!
What? Seriously? I don't think they are gonna do that for international orders, would they?
I ordered mine, and it was shipped on 23rd august. Estimated date of delivery is 9th sept. I haven't yet received my first, and I haven't got any mail like this either.

I go the email a little less than an hour ago. The email does state "Customers who have purchased our original version of SlimLine for Google Nexus 7 FHD 2nd Gen will be shipped automatically a FREE of charge replacement of our improved final version of SlimLine for Google Nexus 7 FHD 2nd Gen, without needing to contact us." I have to assume that means anyone who purchased it no matter where you are.
I understand that, but seeing that you received such a mail and I didn't, makes me think they might not be doing the same with international orders. Maybe, I should wait for some time, for the mail to arrive.

I see they just jacked up the price on the case. It's now $16.95.

I bought mine off SmartShopOnline, an official Poetic reseller. No email for me.
OP, could you check to see if you ordered it from Amazon? I bought mine from Amazon and no email for me.

I received the same e-mail this morning from Smart Shop Online through Amazon. The e-mail subject was "Feedback request from Amazon seller Smart Shop Online". I ordered mine from Amazon on August 12th through Smart Shop Online.
I think that these improvements are all going to be great for the case. The original was okay, but with the improvements it should be much nicer and more polished. I am still unhappy with the general feel of the case (The leather especially feels inexpensive to me), but I am very happy with Poetic in general for doing this for their customers. This is my first Poetic purchase, and I must say I'm very happy with them as a company!
I ordered mine when they first became available for pre-orders through amazon. I also haven't received an email.

I got mine from Amazon (sold by Smart Shop Online) around the 28th of August. No email about a replacement. Original order was Aug 18, out of stock, expected shipping Sept 3 or so, bit came early. No problems really except for the magnet "turn on" not working all the time, but if they want to send me a better one, I'll gladly accept.

I bought the red one too, two days before they were available (August 28th), and I got the email today.
The first one seems to be working just fine for me, but a second case doesn't hurt

Has anyone seen one of these for other devices in person? I am just curious as to the quality and how well the different viewing angles work when touching the screen. I saw a video for the new iPad smart cover and when someone tapped the screen, the thing nearly flipped over.

I was feelin' antsy yesterday and shot them an email asking if they had any specifies dates, this is what I received back:
"Thank you for your email. Unfortunately we are not specific on a time frame for the arrival of the cases, but we are expecting them by the end of the month. We have to take into consideration shipping and customs clearance times which can vary. For those who pre-ordered, their case will ship the same day we receive the delivery of the cases. Please let me know if you need anything further."
Hope that helps
I sent them an email yesterday as well and got the same exact response. I was really hoping they would ship out sometime this week.

This case is very similar to the ASUS premium case. You can't go wrong for less that $6.

That's the case I'm waiting for. I have one (actually, three) for my OG Nexus 7. Poetic's customer service is fantastic.
Thanks. In for one.
The Slimline is pretty cool. I had one for the first gen N7. The quality isn't the best since it will start to fall apart at the ends, but they have a 3 yr warranty. Every time I contacted them, they would send me a brand new case. Can't really beat that... and for $6 shipped ain't bad. I paid like $20 for my first gen.
I just got a black one. The colored ones are like $14, which isn't bad, but I already bought a Portenzo that I plan to use.
thanks in for 1 black one.
It costs an extra $18 to ship to Canada. That's ridiculous.
Ugh. Best bet for us Canadians would be eBay.

Their quality is a hit or miss but they are good on replacements. The first batch had issues on old N7 but the one I bought has been perfect. Been using it for 10 months daily with no issues.

Its only $5.95 with shipping which is cheaper than a foot long samich from Subway, so if it only last 3 months then I'll use the warranty or by a new one. And that's all I got to say about that!

$0.01 + $2.98 shipping = $2.99. Probably a daily deal.

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.
I'm getting the nexus 7 next week, but with all the talks of problems, where should I buy? If Google does find hardware issues in the next couple of months I want to make sure they stand behind their product. Is the play store the best place to purchase, or is Best Buy fine?

Well
Google play is better than best buy, and lots of users complained to have hardware issues like stuck pixels in nexus 7 bought in bb
No problems with mine from Best Buy either.
Google Play store.
Got mine about 3 weeks ago from best buy. No issues here, I'd recommend buying it from a local store. In case you do get a defective device, you can easily exchange it for a new one instead of waiting on returning and shipping.

I got mine at office max, 32gb WiFi with 20% discount. Great deal. Any way you go should be fine I would of ordered it but I couldn't wait. As far as issues go some people are just picky or there are lemons out there. I have light screen bleed but it doesn't bother me and I don't wanna go through the RMA process. Good luck with your choice its a good one.

mine is good too. no dead pixels... bought in Europe the 9th sept. 2013
I bought mine at Office Depot which I would normally not recommend, but they have a pretty cheap warranty ( $50 for 2 years ) no questions asked. You do have to mail it in, and they mail you a gift card though.

Loved this case for the N4 gonna love it for the N5 I hope
I like that this case shows the nexus logo on the back of the phone.
I had this with my N4 but the buttons were too hard to press, then I sold my N4 and didn't keep up with the news, did they fix it?
Hopefully this one doesn't come with a billion weld/scorch marks.
Just wanted to mention that I ordered this yesterday. Even though the listing states in stock October 31st, I got a shipping confirmation today from Amazon.
Ordered yesterday too... Even if I still not decide about N5, shipping in Italy between 21-23 nov

This is the reason why I haven't ordered it just yet, going to wait and see the whole thing maybe in a video review before making the purchase, can't have my speakers covered.
Ermm.. I purchased this assuming it wouldn't ship until the Nexus 5 actually came out... It shipped out on Friday??? lmao... I hope they got the dimensions correct...
I think for Rearth, they just print/generate the shipping label in advance so it's ready to go out once the final product is done. I recall that's what happened with their Nexus 4 cases. But if the tracking number actually shows something is moving, then awesome!

I hope you're correct that they just generated the shipping label. I'd feel better if the case came after the phone was announced.
