Very nice of them. However I'm not noticing the device going to sleep when the cover is folded back. The other two issues are not problematic for me -- I'm glad the case fits snugly and won't open unless I intend to open it.
Side note -- I ordered the " Poetic Slimline Portfolio Case for Google Nexus 7 Android Tablet by Asus Black(Automatically Wakes and Puts the Nexus 7 to Sleep)(3 Year Manufacturer Sold by Smart Shop Online" on July 28 from Amazon and received a case that, size-wise, fit but was cut for the 2012 model (no camera hole, one speaker cutout at the bottom of the case). After returning it I saw that the description for it was revised to allow you to select from the 2012, 2013 and Nexus 10 model. Luckily that case fit perfectly. I wonder what that was all about.

I agree with your sentiment. I like the strong closure of the 3 magnets and the snug fit. Mine also does not go to sleep when the cover is folded back.
I just received my white one today and you figured since they just released the white it would have the update but nope I have 3 magnets on mine. Let's see if I get the email.

I have last years Nexus 7, generally keep it in my back pocket and sat on it way too many times, surprisingly without a problem using an inexpensive poetic case. Just got the Nexus 7 2013 and since I need a new case, thought I'd ask first if anyone can suggest a case to prevent a cracked screen.
Simple, don't keep it in the back pocket.
No seriously, you are bound to crack the screen one day. You won't be lucky every time.
which Poetic case did you use on your old N7?

From my order confirmation email: Poetic HardBack Protective Case for the Google Nexus 7 Android Tablet by Asus (Automatically Wakes and Puts the Nexus 7 to Sleep)(3 Year Manufacturer". I'm using it now with the new N7, isn't a perfect fit but better than nothing until the new case ships.
Just found this
http://dx-box.com/nillkin-ultra-slim-smart-shell-stand-case-for-google-nexus-7-fhd-2013-2nd-gen.html
I've loved the Nillkin cases I purchased for my phones (One X, One X+ and now SGS 4).
Tempted to purchase but still waiting on the cheaper cases I bought on Amazon before I pull the trigger.
$19.99 seems a little expensive. Does it has the smart cover function?
Looks nice and it has all the smart features...

Looks no different from the Moko or Poetic which cost less than ½ the cost.
I suspect the quality of the Nillkin materials are much better

In fact, I have. For my old (now sold) Nexus 7 2012.
Other than the markings there was no discernable difference between that and my friends' Poetic and iBlason(IIRC) cases. Both of which holding up nicely after a year's time.
Unless this N7 2013 case is different, I'll stick by my assessment.
Basically, you spend your money, and make your choice... :thumbup:
Most likely this one and the others that look like this are probably close to the same. As someone said in a different thread they buy them in bulk from somewhere and apply the companies branding.

That would have been me.... :beer:
Not uncommon, in fact, very common.
If you order a few hundred units, they'd put YOUR name on them. In nice, hot stamped, pseudo gold leaf even...
I must agree that there is great difference on the overall feel and materials of the Nillkin.
I have the poetic slimline and the moko already, and gladly shelled the $16 for one from eBay just now.
I had the Nillkin for my now gifted to nephews' OG 7, and knowing all brands I was really waiting for it.

Does it have magnet to hold the cover tight when closed?
Does it have magnet to maintain the triangle shape when folded as the stand?
No and no, just the auto wake/sleep feature I believe

I bought and received this case (from Taobao to Hong Kong)
I don't have the device with me at the moment so I will take pictures tonight with it in the case.
Initial impressions are that the leather is very soft and the back cover is made in very high quality (leather wrapped around the plastic shell) and see no exposed plastic bits. Furthermore the "baseball" stitching on the cover is very nicely done, and very pliable with no stiffness.
Will update with fitment and auto sleep/wake tonight!
Page brings me to an "Account suspended." That's shady, no thanks

What page? Link is good.

I don't have the device with me at the moment so I will take pictures tonight with it in the case.
Initial impressions are that the leather is very soft and the back cover is made in very high quality (faux leather wrapped around the plastic shell) and see no exposed plastic bits. Furthermore the "baseball" stitching on the cover is very nicely done, and very pliable with no stiffness.
UPDATE: fitment is good and cut outs are accurate. Speaker grilles are properly cut and quality of the case is insane against the 11USD value. Must buy given the current case selection on the market. The case is light weight and made of very thick "leather".
The only minor quibble I have with the case is that the magnet doesn't keep the flap closed completely. Auto sleep/wake occurs without fault with a 1 second delay. (standard among cases). Finally the "Nillkin" logo is not very prominent making this a very stealthy case.
Rating: 8/10
Price is now $15.89 on dx-box.com. Also noticed they have a white version and it seems there are also Red and Grey version elsewhere.
Does anyone know if this will fit a 2013 model or is it 2012? It doesn't say anywhere in the description.

2012. no camera hole the back upper-left.
I have this case for my Nexus 7 first gen, and I love it, except that the front cover edge has started to split. Hard to explain, I'll try and get a pic, but basically the outer layer and the inner micro-fibre layer are coming apart at the outside seam. I'm looking for a similar case for my 2013 N7, not sure if I'd get the Nillkin again based on the previous experience.
I just received in the mail a package from Poetic. They sent me an updated version of their Poetic Slimline Nexus 7 (2013) case for free. While the first version of the case was not perfect (the tablet would not wake up when I would open the magnetic case cover), I did not complain. Still though what a nice surprise! I will test the new case and get back with updates.
Updates
Update 1: With the updated case, the screen awakes when I open the magnetic cover
Update 2: I have attached a picture with the 2 cases side-by-side. The updated case is on the left-hand-side. As you can see it only has 2 magnets instead of 3 that the original had.
I see that these is an older thread in the forum. I will close this one.
Anyone order this case from Amazon and received it yet?

This "use to" go to a Nexus 5 product, it's pretty much the same. Ordered it 11/8, supposed to be delivered today, but received no shipping notice, now Amazon shows unavailable if you search "AceAbove Google Nexus 5 Case Slim [Black] Protective Stand Case for Nexus 5". Just wondering if this was a real product or the advertizing got ahead of the production. Have a similar one for my N7 that I really like.
Finally received this case! So far looks good, everything important is exposed. Didn't realize the Nexus 5 had the same magnetic on/off as the Nexus 7; this case supports that. Adds almost nothing to the x-y dimensions of the n5, just some thickness. Seems to protect it well. Nice built in stand for landscape (which I'll probably never use).

I bought this case in August when I got my Nexus 7, and I don't look back! This case is a beast, its not only quite cheap, but it is also good quality, and it gives the Nexus 7 a classy look when carrying it. Its got all cut outs for the power, vol up/down rocker as well as a cut out for the camera on the back!.
Please do me a favor and check out my review video on the case on YouTube(link below). Please like and subscribe too as it helps a lot!! If you'd like to buy one of these from Amazon, there's a link in the description of the video and I will also post a link in this Forum thread too! thanks a lot!

They are pretty good about addressing customer complaints too. I ordered one in late August when I got my Nexus 7 and by early September I received a second case completely unexpectedly with a note about how the new one had been changed to correct customer concerns. Two cases for $12? Not too bad!
Is it really protective though ?
It looks very good but I'm concerned about sturdiness as I always accidently drop my devices..

It will protect from wear in a bag or something like that. Because its a rigid case, I don't think the fall protection would be that great (besides the screen which obviously would benefit from any case with a front cover). I have not dropped mine while in the case so I cannot speak to its just how much protection it affords. I mainly only use the case when I travel or bring it to work because I don't want it getting scratched up in my bag.
It's a Nice Case
It's a nice, practical case, though I doubt it would be a lot of help for dropping it. It also works with the Tylt Vu wireless charger.

I had the exact same experience, and I definitely would recommend this case as well.

Received my poetic slimline case for the N7 2013 and it looks like they sent me the older version. I bought it through a 3rd party seller on Amazon.
The auto wake works but would like the newer version.
I absolutely love my slimline. Bought it in gray and its the best case I've owned for any device. My only discrepancy is the flap takes some getting used to when trying to use it as a stand.

If you want real protection, get the Poetic Revolution, or the Gumdrop case http://www.amazon.com/Gumdrop-Drop-...id=1386303182&sr=8-1&keywords=gumdrop+nexus+7
Those are 2 of the most rugged cases made. I wish Ballistic made cases for the Nexus 7, as I've taken my Infuse phone and purposely thrown it 20ft up into the air and onto concrete just to prove how good the case is.
two months of use and the hidden shoddiness of so much Chinese merchandize is rearing its ugly head in the Poetic Slimline case. the magnets have loosened to the point of falling out and the plastic around them is cracking. Two months !
Thing flew out of my coat pocket getting into an SUV this morning.
The case took all the damage. Some scuffs on the front. Freaked out, and inspected the tablet. Still flawless.
Now I'm using the revised one they sent me a week after I ordered the original. Knew the free case would come in handy one day.
I had the original on there since they were first released and it still had no signs of wear. No cracking, peeling, nothing.
Highly recommend the case.
