The below was copied over from the case n cover thread, but I feel that this case could use its own thread.
For anyone that's interested. I've just received the devicewear ridge case. The back is hard plastic, and its soft leather is glued onto it from the back. It should be very similar to the original N7 in terms of design and material. I have not fitted my N7 onto the case yet, but I already have my doubts. Here's my opinion:
1st, the plastic back came scratched out of the box. There's also about one inch on the plastic that looks like it's been rubbed by sand paper.
2nd, the glue where it connects from the plastic back and cover is already coming off.
3rd, there is that strong chemical smell to it, makes me a bit nauseous. Reminds me of the first gen yoobao leather case I got for my ipad2.
4th and perhaps last, the thin plastic by the power and volume rocker, it feels very flimsy. A little pressure on it might snap it.
The above is from my personal opinion only, maybe others have received a better copy. I have emailed devicewear already, so let's see what their response is. Attached a couple of pics for your reference only.
Update:
I've finally fitted the case to the N7, and it fits like a glove, cutouts are very precise and the smell is almost gone. The inside material is very soft, but catches a lot of lint and dust. Also, the glue is not sticking very well as mentioned above, but devicewear is sending me a replacement, so hopefully it was just a bad copy I received.
Overall it's still a very nice case, a bit pricey for my taste though, $32 shipped. I would still recommend it if you like a quality and slim case, and great customer service as well.

I did mention that the smell was almost gone and they are sending me a replacement, and I do believe that I just got a bad copy. Look at all the positive reviews from amazon for the og n7, it was those reviews that made me choose case. I shall update again when I get the replacement.

There seems to be 2 types of materials, 3 finishes.
On mine, the clearish part is a slightly-bendable hard plastic with the texture of what all of my matte hard plastic. Think the type of plastic that is one most power adapters (that aren't shiny) but add a slightly bendable aspect to it.
The black part on the back is shiny, slick, smooth, and more flexible. It's similar to silicon cases (what I can assume you mean by soft gel/rubber) but I think it's still different. It seems to be less "floppy" even though it is very bendable. The shiny black part seems to "stick" to certain surfaces (such as my desk and other hard/flat surfaces) but not to some that you would expect (it doesn't stick to my pockets at all and glides just fine across my clothing, car seat, and non-leather furniture - it might stick to leather, I don't know). The black part on the front appears to be the same material as the black part on the back, but with a matte finish. The result of the different finish is that it doesn't have the "stickiness" on much of any surface, yet still gives your hand a slight bit of grip beyond what the stock TBolt gives you.
Overall, the "feel in hand" is comfortable and it gives you extra grip but doesn't feel sticky or anything like that. Imagine going from a slick, hard-plastic phone to a phone with a rubberized body (like our TBolt has). Going from a naked TBolt to this case is kinda like taking that one step further. But in no way could I ever describe it as "feeling sticky" in my hand or pocket.

So it looks like/feels like it's not going to just fall apart or anything like that, if that's what you mean. I can't envision drops/dings or other daily use wearing it down.
The ONE concern that I have about it holding up is because it is made with two types of "plastic" (I don't know if it's plastic, silicon, rubber, or whatever, hence my quotes). I fear that if I take the case off and on a lot (for my car dock), that the joints of the two plastics might start to come apart. This is NOT based on any quality issues that I have seen so far, just a concern based on the fact that this wasn't produced in a single mold when it was melted down (this is coming from somebody with an engineering background).
I will be shocked, though, if I have a problem with this case in the next 6 months, and for $5, well, I'd say that's pretty damned good!

Read my post a couple posts up about the 2 different types of materials with 3 finishes. As best as I can tell, the inside is the same material as the outside. What this means is that 60% of it is the very flexible plastic while the clear part does cover ~40% of the back. I would expect the black part to offer more protection to a fall/bump than the clear part, and fortunately the black part covers most of the corners and edges. Still, I expect the clear part to offer more protection than a hard plastic case would.
Updated the OP with some photos. Perhaps they will help.
thanks for the detailed feedback!
This case will also fit into the Verizon holster/shell combo holster. You just can't use the VZW shell, but it'll slide into the holster. The fit is a little snug, but it works. I like to swap out this case with the VZW shell. This one provies more protection, but the VZW one is pretty cool too.
In case anybody was wondering, I got mine from this seller from China: http://goo.gl/62Fhx
It took something like 10 days to get to me, but I didn't mind since it cost less than a good burger.

I received this today in mail from PC Micro. They had coupon for 20% off tablet accessories so ended up to be $26 shipped.
Here is my brief review, and I'll let pictures do the talking.
Build quality: Probably the best I have used for any case. I'm pretty frugal guy, I wouldn't pay an arm or leg for cases but this is one of the very best. It's genuine leather, thus it smells great and feels great. None of that cheap PU leather cases come even close.
Protection: I feel pretty safe with the Gtab 10.1 in this case. Obviously, it's less protection than the thicker cases but this is more than enough for most people's daily use.
Accessibility: All ports are cut out perfectly. Obviously you can't charge with the folio flap close, so you have to charge it with it open. It's also a thin case, so when you are trying to touch the lower borders of the tablet, the rim of the case wouldn't become obtrusive.
Others: There is a velcro flap to keep the tablet in the case so it wouldn't slide out with the case open. A very nice touch IMO. Also there is no magnet for closure. I purposely wanted a case without magnet, so this may be pro or con based on user preference.
Overall: 9.5/10 (I don't give 10/10s). This is as good a case you can get. Don't look any further.
Hi Gordec, thanks for your brief review.
Could you maybe expand it a bit more with your experience as far as using it as a stand? In both modes, for typing and vertical for viewing media or browsing?
Roocase
My friend had one for his Ipad(allple Suck)but the case was nice so I bought one for my galaxy and it was great ...love it made a great addition.
I just got the ultra slim case today and its amazing i dont like the leather one because it covers the bezel around the screen nd it kinda gets in the way with the screen but this case is amazing.. The ultra Slim one..
I just received this case yesterday and must say that I am pleasantly surprised. I was afraid that the advantages of a case would not outweigh the added thickness and weight. However, what makes this case so great is the stand feature. It is so easy to use and type on the tablet when it is perked up on your lap or on the table in front of you. If you are on the fence I'd recommend this case 100%.
Edit: I have the "multi-angle" one (search Amazon)
I have been using this for a few weeks now. It's is a nice little case. Workmanship is vastly better than the comparably priced Acase I returned when the stitching started unraveling.
I dunno if this has happened to any of you guys but after having this case for about 2 months now, I decided to take the tablet out and give it a clean. Lo and behold I noticed that the case has discolored the back of the tablet. I have tried using alcohol to clean it with a cloth but no dice. Anyone else got this?

Rats! I have been using mine for three weeks and this has not happened yet. Should I just nip this in the bud and move to a better case? Any suggestions as to a good upgrade? I'd prefer something thin.
I don't have a recommendation for you other than to warn you to get another case before yours becomes discolored like ours.

OK, thanks. I just ordered this case from amazon:

Cool, looking forward to it
I know this is an old thread but I just wanted to add that I have this case and have been using it for about three months now. I just checked the back of my Tab and it's pristine. I have the metallic gray back though, not the white plastic. It's a really great case-if you have the metallic back, don't let the complaints scare you-it looks like the discoloration only happens to the white plastic ones.
This case is pretty nice, I have the Diztronics Matte Case and this far superior.
EDIT: It appears I messed up with adding images, so I provided direct links to a Picasa album under the corresponding text.
First off, I'd like to point out its design.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694664838498885570
This case uses a combination of three forms of TPU.
The back uses two, and the side has the third. From the photo, the majority of the back is matte with a gloss design on the side of the back.
Now for the TPU on the actual sides on the phone:
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694666212754847586
It's a nice textured form of TPU that provides a great amount of grip without making the phone impossible to slide in and out of a pocket or gather dust like silicon. It may just be that I'm fourteen, but I always found the Galaxy Nexus a bit slippery, or maybe it's because of this the darn phone gets, which looks great but isn't entirely practical.
The case itself doesn't add much to the size of the phone, but it provides decent, and very eye catching protection.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694664844600398466
The back of the case is also raised near the camera to prevent scratches that phones like the EVO were plagued with.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694666188166111906
The volume buttons get a dedicated cover, as expected, but makes them feel mushy, but they're really small to begin with.
The cutouts on the phone are pretty big and shouldn't have any issues, and there is also a double-holed thing at the bottom for lanyards.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694666177130719426
This is overall a great case, for its price its pretty hard to beat as well. You can find it here on Amazon.

IDENTICAL
I just got my moko. Looks identical. It is indeed thin. One thing I don't like is the front cover is so thin it is almost sharp around the edges. So when you hold it with one hand, pinky wrapped around the bottom, it kind of digs into your finger.
Looks nice but I'm not gonna be keeping it on. I have 4 more to choose from. So far my favorite is the poetic case.

Would be keen to know if nay one has this yet, considerably cheaper than the Moko and looks identical.
It looks exactly identical to the moko ultra slim case that I have on my n7. It is probably just a rebranded moko.
Purchased case
Taking into account the shipping on the Moko its more or less three times cheaper, so I have bought the bullet so to speak.
I will endeavour to post my thoughts on it when it arrives. Delivery pending I should have the tablet and case by the 2nd Sept

Ok so the case is here initial impressions are good, case feels nice smart cover works well.
I will take some pictures and try them get them online today.
Pictures
Here are a few amateur snaps I took from my S3 (CM camera). The case came with a screen protector in which you can see I have failed miserably at applying, a stylus which I will never use and a small lint free cleaning cloth.
The magnet seems solid and when I hold the tablet glass side down the front flap stays put.
Any questions or photo requests let me know.
I'll post an update after I have used it for a few days.
Got mine today, not bad for 99p :laugh:
I bought this cover today ( 9.95 € + 3€ shipping) from amazon !
Looks good!
Won't a magnet damage the screen?
Not bad for £2.90 from Amazon including shipping. It is slim and light. :laugh:
It actually fits nicely into the Mivizu Neoprene sleeve.
The magnet works but would have been better if it is a clasp like the Blurex.
I feel the cover might move (if not inside the sleeve) when it is thrown inside a backpack and the backpack shifts.

Where you guys get it for so cheap?
I've ordered mine from eBay for 18€. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
I'm also doubtful about the magnet closure, I've never used any magnetic folder, so will you assure me it won't damage my precious Nexus 7?
The price has gone up to £9.90 -

As I said before I was worried about the magnetic case closure.
It was really hard to remove the Nexus 7 from the case.
I received my Blurex case via my friend in US. Its heavier than the InventCase and the clasp at the side make it feel secure. Fits nicely into the Mivizu Neoprene sleeve as well.
Mine arrived today, payed £1.99 + £2.75 shipping. Some pics https://plus.google.com/photos/1068...ms/5919832529468769553?authkey=CPefjKjstZjqTQ
The only difference from the MoKo one is the texture and I'd actually say that this (the InventCase) looks more premium than fake leather.

Gordon Ramsey says your screen protector has so many f***ing bubbles it looks like Ted kennedy tried to drown it.
When I ordered my official Google Nexus 5 Bumper in Red I was more than excited to have an official case I knew I wouldn't have any problems with.
Upon opening I loved it. The red bumper on my Nexus 5 looked fantastic! I was thrilled that I was going to be carrying it around now.
First:
It fits perfectly with the buttons on the sides as well as cutouts for speakers and buttons. There's no doubt about it, although the buttons may be a a little harder to push at first, due to the case's button popouts being rigid, you can quickly get used to this and it isn't a real problem. The cutout for the speakers don't seem to limit the sound at all, so that was all good. And the cutout for the charging port fits most chargers without any issue. I only had an issue with one of my cables that has a huge plastic piece around the micro USB metal piece, but it wasn't made for the Nexus 5 so it doesn't really affect my opinion of the cutout. Plus it works with wireless charging, so that's a plus. The cutout for the headphone jack fit all my headphones perfectly, even ones with the L-shaped jack, so I was happy with that as well.
Other than that, I loved the relatively slim design of the case as well as the nexus logo on the back. I can noticeably feel the case's added width when I take it off, but it isn't a huge difference like many other cases may add. So it keeps the device still relatively slim.
BUT I WAS DISAPPOINTED after I put it on and started assessing the actual fit. I thought it would be a harder material. Although it "snapped" on perfectly, the case was loose around the top and bottom.
On the top:
The case could be pushed in, to where it would make a sound from rubbing on the Nexus 5. I adjusted the case and put it on again but nothing. It almost felt like the cheaper silicon cases bought for devices that eventually warp and don't fit properly. This is extremely annoying (at least for me) because I expected the case to be a perfect fit on the top and bottom without me being able to push parts of the case and have them move, or make a rubbing sound.
On the bottom:
The same thing occurred. The small piece of rubber above the charging port (closest to screen) is very flimsy. I noticed wear from two days of use. This involved taking it out and putting it in my pocket. My pants aren't tight so it wasn't a squeeze. It came from me grabbing the case right above this small piece of rubber and pulling it out. As with the top, I can push this piece of rubber pretty easily and have it move in and out (or up and down, however you want to say it). It seems it will continue to get looser until it is warped a bit.
Overall:
I was disappointed with the case. I contacted Google and as per their return policy they offered a refund without returning or swapping the case. The top and bottom "mis"-fits really killed the excitement for the case. With the top being able to be pushed in AND making a rubbing sound, it irritated the crap out of me. And with the bottom rubber piece over the charging port being flimsy and possibly warping JUST from everyday use of the case, I can't love the case like I wanted.
Last thing:
Anyone else have this issue? Or any other issues? When I read and watched multiple reviews, none of them seemed to show all of the bad things I found with my case. So part of me thinks it may be just mine. I am considering ordering another with the refund offer but I am hesitant to spend money on another and have the same results.
I use the official bumper case for my 5 in the really dark grey/black color. I really like this case. I didn't pay full price for it so that might be why I don't mind it as much.
I do not have any loose areas anywhere on mine and fits very snug.
I seem to be in the minority here as I really like using this case. It's simple, slim, feels good, fits nicely, it's everything I need and want in a case. I'm extremely cautious with my phones and would never be caught with an otterbox or any other humongous case. For me slim and simple is the way to go.

same here. it works perfectly with my phone too. no loose top or bottom areas here. i don't know about slim but it is handy and gives a good grip. also the charging point rubber you talked about? for me it's a bit tight fit for the charging pin but it just gives way when pushed with a bit of presssure and comes back when pin is removed. otherwise no problems for me with this case and i'm pretty satisfied.

Sorry to hear you encountered some problems with yours.

Where did you get it ?
I saw a video about the replica bumper cases from China and decided to get a couple of them. They said the quality was identical to the ones from Google. Plus, it was only $20 for 2 cases. When I get them, I'll post here with a mini review.

Here's a youtube video of the replica case. Looks good to me. Btw, just search ebay for the cases.

Can I buy from eBay with something other than PayPal ?

Do you want me to hold your hand? Figure it out.
I would buy this, if the peeling issue wouldn't be present.. how is your opinion?

I haven't received them yet. Will let you know as soon as I get them. Shipping from China takes a while.
I got a red one about 3 weeks ago.
It started peeling (sort of) at the corners within 10 days, black material was showing up.
Upon removing the case, I discovered that it left long marks on the rubbery back of the black Nexus 5, along the ridges of the bumper.
Thats when I decided to sell it off.
Simply put, it looks awesome, fits awesome, but as a product, its bad, and not at all worth the money.
Atleast those marks are slowly dissappearing (Trust me, those arent dust or something)
