As this is the default case offered for the KF HDX I went ahead and got it, and I was not disappointed.
Origami case got its name from "folding" and some nicely hidden magnets. It fits snugly onto the HDX. You "slide" HDX into the "baseplate". Removal is easy, as there's no clips. It also has its own 'buttons' that pushes on the official buttons, unlike other cases that leaves your buttons exposed.
The folding part is the "folio cover", which has "seams" that can be folded. When you flip it over, and pull up on the fold the cover turns into a stand as the magnets stick to each other and the back of the base plate. Pretty clever design, and probably patented. You can get it in a variety of colors, though I got mine in plain black. Here's a picture (not mine)

And yes, it works in portrait mode as well.
Complaint 1) this case when folded over somewhat covers up the buttons (I have fat fingers) but only when it's lying flat (like when you're holding it with both hands, like playing a driving game). it's less noticeable when the stand's 'deployed".
Complaint 2) The case attracts a bit of finger print, not quite as visible on black, but when tilted at an angle...
Complaint 3) its relatively high price. It's just a plain case, albeit a clever one, but $40 for "rubber" case?
But it's not completely disappointing.
Protectionwise... This case will NOT save your HDX from drops or such. But then, given the weight of the HDX, I doubt anything will except maybe one of those expensive Ottercases. This is a dust cover and stand, little more.
Size-wise... this case is pretty thin, and adds minimum bulk and weight to the dense thinness of the KF HDX. Baseplate is solid, while the cover does not look flimsy despite the need to fold and unfold over and over.
Pros: Clever stand, official Amazon Kindle design, perfect fit
Cons: Expensive, attracts fingerprints, covers up back buttons when folded over
All in all, IMHO it's slightly overpriced, but it's a quality product. If you don't need the clever stand, get something cheaper.
I actually picked up the genuine leather version of this case when I got the HDX 8.9 a couple months ago. It is even crazier expensive than the PU version, $65 - $70, but the leather is really nice, it smells great & it just gets softer, more supple every week.
I really like the case. It stands the device at very usable angles in both landscape & portrait. It also is about as protective as any of the other similar cases, while being about the thinnest one out there. Funny thing, the case weighs as much or more than the tablet, but I would think most would, since the tablet is so light.
The real leather one is only available in black, or at least was only in black when it released.
It has a ballistic plate in the back, which is cool, & the tablet is held in place with magnets that also serve to launch the camera whenever you raise it above the horizon of the case. It is also great because I have always like cases with removable inserts, & with this, the tablet is easily removed, so you can enjoy that ultra-featherweight goodness. Another nice thing about the magnets, if you read at night, they serve to kind of align the tablet, so getting it back into the case square is easy as pie.
The leather is pretty darn durable & as a plus, if you scuff it a bit, you can grab that old can of shoe polish & clean it right up.
At first I was a bit nervous about magnets being the only thing holding the device in the case, but as a big meaty fingered guy, I can tell you that not once has it popped out.
I would estimate that the bulk this thing adds is around a millimeter or less.

Real Racing 3 is f***ing amazing on HDX. Smooth as Silk.
Good to hear. It plays well on my xperia z1 but the phone gets too hot.

Thanks for the review i'll probably get something cheaper.
I have the PU version of the Origami Case. Best investment I made when I first picked up my HDX 7 and still going strong :victory: Have to agree that the price is high but very good quality case.
One complaint after prolonged use: the "seams" in the cover leaves a bit of marking, as well as the "Amazon" logo, on the screen protector after prolonged use. And I had the premium Skinomi protector. I just replaced the protector as the lines are distracting me.
Just picked up both the Amazon one and the roo case.... Amazon one is hands down the winner, hence it is double the price. The only advantage the roo has over the Amazon one is that it has a firmer grip on the tablet so the tablet can't slip out. The Amazon one obviously ccan't grab the tablet firmly as it is meant to slide up and down on it, but by no means does it feel like it'll slip out either. My biggest complain about the roo case one is that the back flap never lays securely flat. So either it's folded or loose. I happened to get the Amazon cover for $10 used on the site with minor cosmetic flaw.... When I received it, it looked perfect, nothing that would make me believe it was ever used.

Yeah, as I mentioned, I went with the insanely priced genuine leather version of the Amazon Oragami case. It does hide fingerprints rather well (I am pretty hard on this thing) & after more than a year, it is holding up very well. I also like the fact that since it is leather, I can dab a little of my Allen Edmund's shoe polish on it & voila, it looks brand new again. I like the feel of the leather case better too. It handles sweaty fingers very well on long stuffy flights. As you mentioned, it is not the worlds most secure design, any good drop has a chance of spitting out the tablet, but it works great in a laptop bag or back pack + it adds only minimal bulk & weight.
My favorite Thor case: MoKo Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7" Case (in black). Clean face, minimal bulk/weight, modest protection, functional buttons (better feel than stock IMO), doesn't muffle speakers. Device inserts with a firm snap; won't fall out. Folding cover needs a week or so to break in then holds shape well. Lies flat when open or forms a small triangle which I find to be a perfect grip in portrait orientation. Opens/closes easily. No gaudy logos. Cases like this aren't for everyone but works well for me. Price is right too.

@GSLEON3 don't know if you've tried it but the magnets in the case backing and leather top flap are strong enough that you can stick it to the fridge and have the Kindle right there streaming netflix when you're in the kitchen! lol, I like it because it doesn't get any mess or take up any counter space

Got my Melkco Jacka case in finally and after using it for the past 4 days I can confidently say that the case is amazing. It has replaced my Barely There case for daily use and I even feel comfortable using it when I'm at work because of the *padded* flap that protects the screen.
It's kinda neat how they made this. For the back, they took a plastic snap on shell and glued a layer of leather to it so it maintains the contoured shape of the back of the EVO which I think is pretty cool. No other leather case does that. The flap in the front has probably a thin piece of plastic in the middle of it to retain it's shape, with a felty material on the screen side and leather on the outside. The padding in it (on the outside of it, not the screen side) makes it feel really soft and luxurious and I'm sure adds a bit of added protection for the screen. The clip that holds the flap on the phone is tight enough that it stays in place but doesn't require any effort to latch. There is no extra leather around the seams like other cases, and no rough edges at all. My ONLY worry about this case is that the two little strips that hold the front flap on to the back are a little thin but they are reinforced with extra stitching so it's probably not a problem.
The leather that they used came from happy cows that probably went to the health spa often because it is incredibly soft to the touch. Like expensive leather couch soft. The case itself is also pretty thin and the EVO retains full pocketability whist comfortably nestled inside the case's protective bosom. The stitching is only single stitch but that seems strong enough and is done with a level of quality that I did not expect from a chinese case. In fact, the whole thing has a level of quality that I did not expect.
All in all, I was a little skeptical when I ordered this thing but couldn't be happier. It is my new favorite case and I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone that wants to dress their EVOs up with a little style.

Score! I've been waiting anxiously to hear how you like it!
Do you think the catch on the top will stand up well to extended wear? I'd hate to have it start coming open-ish in my pocket and getting caught when I pull it outta my bluejeans.
Also, how raised up is the stitching? Is it recessed so it won't rub against stuff much, or is it raised above the surface?
I LOVE the concept of this case, especially since carrying the Evo on my belt has in the past proved to be disastrous. Hoping to pick one up soon.
Thanks again for your review, and for keeping me posted along the way!
MDM
Sounds great but how long did it take to get it?
Also, with the front and back piece, do you find it make the phone really thick in your pocket?
MadDog- The clip is hard plastic surrounded by leather and I don't see it coming loose over time. The only way it will come loose is if those two straps that connect the front to the back loosen up, but I honestly don't think that will happen. At least not any time soon.
The stitching is tight and well done, and has little chance of getting rubbed loose because of the padding in the front of the flap that makes the front stick out a bit, with the sides where the stitching is being recessed. The only place where the stitching sticks out a bit is around the clip because there is no padding there but even then it is still tight and probably won't come undone.
And no problem, happy to help. If you were planning on getting it, go right ahead- I promise you won't be disappointed.
mitchell- I ordered it on December 22 and got it this past Saturday. That's not that bad considering it came from China and it was over a few holidays. It does add some thickness to it but not much. Like I said in the review, it is still perfectly pocketable.
Currently using the Amzer Rubberized Hard Case, has an approximate thickness of 5/8". How much thicker would you guess the Jacka is?
Just measured it, it's just shy of 3/4". About 11/16".
DANG! Not bad at all!!!!
Nope, definitely not
Been rocking it every day for a week now and it is holding up very nicely.

just flip the flap back when you talk? doesnt get in the way? i use to use a holster but i have been putting the phone on my pocket now... dont mind it.... like this but worried about the flap
Yep, just flip the flap back. It's not the most natural thing but it doesn't bother me.
Just got mine today. Orderes January 20 Received today, February 10 so, about 3 weeks shipping.
I love this case, and the only downside I can see is that the notification LED's are not at all visible when the case is closed. Otherwise, pretty good quality case.
Looks great!
i do prefer the flap to flip from the top, but it still is nice...
Just ordered mine, but for Desire, based on your review. Was so freak about thickness I calculated added size based on your observation.
Many Thanks! I've been searching for two weeks the perfect case to replace silicone hard case until now.
Just got my Jacka Type for the Evo in the mail today.
First off, I ordered on Feb 12th or so, the item shipped on the 16th, and arrived on March 2nd.
On arrival, it both lives up to expectations and doesn't.
On the one hand, it's very slim (either the same size or SLIMMER than my Amzer rubberized hard case) and feels very svelte/sleek in the hand.
On the other hand, the stitching appears uneven and in some places not straight (as if done by hand), and some of the cut-outs are not regular. Additionally, the setup makes it a little awkward to press the power button - but this may be common with the low-pro type case that it is built off of. Once I get home I'll take some pictures with my camera so you can see how the Evo looks in it.
Overall, happy with my purchase, but think it's probably not worth $38 due to the irregular stitching/cut-outs.

Hmm.. all the stitching on mine is straight and uniform, maybe you got a defective case? And you paid $38? Mine was only $28.
Yeah, I mighta misrememberef the price.
Here's pix of the uneven-ness.
Honestly, the case is really growing on

Here's three shots with my phone in the case. I gotta say, it's damn sexy. The crooked stitching is mostly in the hinge piece, and you really don't notice it.
Better still, it FEELS great in your hand and in your pocket. In one day of use, I've already got to the place where the flap doesn't really impact my use of the phone, just keeps it nice and protected in my pocket.
I would feel really dumb talking with that case in public.
Almost like I had some floppy jaw extension made of leather/plastic.
Any pics of you "using" it?
Want to see if it looks as goofy as I think it will... Thanks!

Super cheesy and flimsy looking case. IMHO.
I'm hoping it will fit in my Nook Color case with 3 position Landscape stand. I'm pretty sure I can modify it to fit becuz I love that damn case and it cost me $35
Thanks for sharing though.
The Crazy On Digital case below via Amazon works great and looks sharp. It is for the Playbook, but fits the Fire perfectly.

Things to watch for in cases
One really important thing to be mindful of when buying a case is how close the case is to the home key popup button.
I have a Speck case I like except for one super annoying problem: the bottom of the holder is right on the edge of the screen so it makes it impossible to press the home popup key. You have to bend down the holder to make room for your finger. Granted the holder part is pretty thick, part of its function is to act as padding between the case and the cover.
Oh, and also make sure you can put the Fire in the case upside down because at least one app I tried doesn't properly rotate the screen so I have to put the Fire in upside down when using the case as a stand. I think a reverse opening case would actually be best but I've yet to see a "manga style" opening case.
I bought the PU case from ebay (as mentioned by the OP). I figured at $9 shipped it would just be an experiment.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PU-Leather-...ccessories&hash=item45fde7f83e#ht_2692wt_1037
I have to say it's not too bad. It seems to fit well, and the stand seems to work OK in both positions. I only really wanted it to travel with on the plane, and it won't be a permanent case, but for the price it does it's job. It has a magnet catch to close it, which isn't very strong, but does the job. It is also quite a low form factor, so it doesn't bulk up the overall thickness of the Fire too much.
Frankly, I prefer the feel of the kindle outside of a case, and with it being rubberized and made of Gorilla glass, I'm not too worried about scratching/marking. I just wipe it down with a damp cloth every few days.

When you fold the cover back, does it lay flat? I've seen some where it doesn't, so it leaves a space of say .5" or so on the side with the flap. I hope this is making sense, I'm tired. I want to get a case, but I don't want it to have that space on the side. I wish I could find the picture of it again to make myself clear. They never show pictures of the cases with the cover all the way folded back
I'm not sure what you mean, so here are some pictures of it in both positions. Does this help? Sorry, they aren't particularly good quality!

See how on the side of the flap it doesn't actually sit flush, thus doubling the size that is held in that hand. An yes, I know thats for the touchpad, but just for reference.

Yeah, it can, but what that does is make the flap protrude maybe 3/4" out of the front. So there is no real optimal fully flat position that keeps to same form factor of the Kindle itself. Each position requires you to kind of mold it to sit there, but that is probably because it's new, and doesn't have a lot of give yet.
At the end of the day, it's $9 delivered, and for that money I believe it's a reasonably disposable purchase. I'd be pissed if I had paid $40-50 for a case and didn't like it! (although I suppose I could always take it back)

You make a good point. Really as long as it sits flat, I'll be satisfied with it. Thanks for taking the time.
As soon as I saw the OEM flip case from Samsung I knew it would be one of the first accessories for my new S3. Unfortunately after having read reviews of the case's questionable construction, coupled with the fact that I wasn't a huge fan of the integrated battery door, I figured I'd shop around for an alternative.
Thankfully that alternative came in the form of ROCK's Big City Flip case. With their "Quicksand" case has been a big hit amongst XDA'rs, I figured it was a no-brainer.
Warning: Picture Heavy:

}
PROS:
*Texture is PHENOMENAL ! - The pictures really don't do it justice. ROCK claims the material is "Italian imported PU", (I suspect it's like a "Pleather", plastic-like leather) but whatever it is, it provides a great deal of grip but remains extremely soft to touch. An added bonus is the fact that the "dark blue" variant matches PERFECTLY with the S3 Pebble Blue version.
*Design is simple, elegant, and creative - Reverting back once more to the texture, I've never seen anything quite like it. It's almost reminiscent of a cascading waterfall. The inside is completely lined with a micro-fiber/felt-like material that ensures both the front and back of the device will remain scuff free. Not to mention the "cradle" for the actual phone hugs it in all the right places, ensuring it won't escape the case's clenches All ports, camera, light, and speaker portions are precisely cut and accessible, EXCEPT the volume rocker (at least when the case is closed); thankfully however the material on the spine of the case is soft to the touch, thus allowing you to press the volume rocker with ease.
*Reasonably priced - Similar cases run $25+, and given the reputation of ROCK and the quality of the case, I'd say it's nothing short of a great buy. Not to mention it comes with a screen protector and decorative lanyard. I managed to pick mine up via eBay for $16.88 shipped (note: I have yet to come across a seller not based out of China or Hong Kong).
CONS:
*Loose Frontt - Similar to the Samsung OEM Flip Case (along with a bevy of other similar products) the front portion of the case has no clip, magnet, or similar fastening feature. While not a particular deal killer for me, I'd rather not have the flap potentially swing to and fro every time I use the device. (Note: I plan on trying to add a magnetic strip to solve this in the near future).
*Top and Bottom Minimal Protection - I suspect ROCK took a cue from slim case designs when designing the "cradle" portion. Similar to slim cases, there seems to be a minimal amount of protection for the device on both the top and bottom portions of the case. Unfortunately I haven't tested a screen protector with the case on, but will update accordingly
*Tricky Using with One Hand - I assume this is a no-brainer for most who have used or plan on using these types of cases, but attempting to use the device cradled in this case with a single hand, proves more difficult then you might suspect. Most of this has to do with the spine of the case not sitting flush with the back when the front is flipped over. Not a total deal breaker for me, but possibly for some.
Overall I'm quite happy with the purchase!

Nice! Think I'll be ordering a blue one
Thanks!

Nice to have this as an option. I have the OEM white flip cover case and found I actually prefer that it's the battery cover and not adding more bulk with an overlay. Since the GS3 has a removeable back, I'm not at all worried about protecting it as if it gets scuffed, I'll just swap a new back on. In fact I just got my Touchstone chargers and backs so I'll be modding the back for inductive charging like shown in the other thread - something that some cases will hinder since it will add too much thickness.
I've been mulling over modding it so the flip is vertical instead of book-type, which sometimes annoys me as well when I'm holding it. I've found that the only time i really hate the flip cover is when I'm trying to take pictures, the flap gets in the way. Not sure how to mitigate that at all with a flip cover. In regards to the cover staying closed I have some super tiny neodymium magnets that should work to make it snap closed.
Would have been bad-ass if it worked as a smartcover on/off, but I guess Samsung maybe afraid of apple coming after them for copying again. I tried using the smartcover apps that use the light sensor for on/off but they just become annoying at turning the device off at random times for me.
Does this come in any other textures? I find the one pictured not to my taste and would rather have a grain instead of the wavy lines I see.

Actually ROCK does offer two additional flip-style cases.
One being similar to the Samsung OEM case, which has the back portion of the case serve as the battery cover. Colors vary for this version, and the texture looks a bit similar, just seems to trail in a horizontal pattern.
ROCK Elegant Side Flip - http://www.rockphone.cn/en/products...5&id=1478&year=0&month=0&pmenuid=0&pbrandid=0
The other offering has the front flat of the case flipping up and over the device. This case also seems to be constructed of a more traditional leather-like material, making it more smooth as far as pattern is concerned (can't seem to find a direct link on their site):

It should have had the quicksand back cover, this seems very slippy.

Actually the texture and pattern make it INCREDIBLY tacky, which has made me overlook the front cover not having a fastening mechanism. It's also far easier to use with one hand after a few weeks of ownership (the fold has relaxed quite a bit). Honestly this has replaced my Elago slim fit case.

I personally didn't really like this case, it seemed too bulky and the texture was just a bit too soft. It's significantly larger than the official case, because the back snaps on and doesn't replace the battery cover, and the material they use has a layer of cardboard sandwiched within.
I got this case a couple days ago for my white SIII. Love it so far.
I think i' over flip cases though. Just hard to use the phone with them.
ROCK has best cases ever!!!
I also bought the Rock "Big City" flip case and I am very pleased!
I made a video for you to see the case, with close ups! the texture is realy amazing.
In this video, I review two Rock cases, the first is the Flip case and the second is the well-known Quicksand!
thanks..just ordered the big city in blue!! this looks awesome
i effin hate my stupid samsung flip cover. I have honestly exchanged it about 6 times and each one has fallen apart....its a POS
QUICK QUESTION
Does the case extend 1mm or so beyond the top and bottom of the phone? it seems to be that way in the pictures..just curious
thanks!
ROCK Case is always get my breath,last time I got a Rock quicksand case for GS3,amazing case!!! what a pity they now stop to manufacture that case for the reason of a lot of knock-off ROCK case in market, so just cherish the copyright ROCK Quicksand! Instead, the ROCK forest case is also outstanding with its natural leaf design...

This is a review of MoKo Slim-Fit and Ultra-Slim cases for Nexus 7 HD (2013). http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Google-New-Nexus-Case/dp/B00E4OKXPU/ and http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Google-New-Nexus-Case/dp/B00CKA1IYU/
Speaking from experience of reviewing multiple dozens of smartphone cases, you can never have one or a dozen to suite your different needs. But when it comes to small tablets, and based on my experience of owning original Nexus 7, I came to a conclusion that you really need to find that one special case you feel comfortable with in your every day use. From my experience, that one special case was always book-cover type which gave me enough protection with thin yet durable padding, flipped cover for the screen protection with some kind of a latching mechanism to stay close if it's dropped by accident, and auto-wake/sleep feature so I don't second guess if display was left on after my kids were playing their battery draining games. That's how I came across Slim-Fit and Ultra-Slim book-cover cases which I'm sure some of you are already familiar with. Why did I choose MoKo? Because their BSC store on Amazon offers Lifetime warranty and because they were the fastest and the most knowledgeable to get back to me with my inquires. In my book this means a better support and customer care. Plus, lifetime warranty means they have a better quality control.
Starting with Slim-Fit, this design offers a protective hardback cover with exterior that comes in 20 different colors and finishes, including smooth PU leather and carbon fiber, and soft microfiber interior that will protect your tablet from scratches. The fitment of the tablet is very secure, and every port cut out is precise without interfering with port openings, external charging cable or headphone cable, clear view of camera lens and access to power and volume up/down buttons. You also get a great corner protection with this case. The cover has a smart functionality of auto-wake/sleep feature that works flawlessly. Furthermore, the inside of the cover has elastic band and a very comfortable hand-strap for holding the tablet with one hand when front cover flipped all the way back. The narrow elastic band can be used to hook around the corner of the tablet side to keep the front cover from flipping back. A simple design, but very effective when you don't have a flat surface nearby and in the middle of watching a movie or reading a book or browsing internet, etc. I can't even say enough how valuable I find this hand-strap in every day use. But when you are near a table or any other flat surface, the case converts into a convenient two angle stand, great for watching a movie gathered around with friends or maybe looking up that recipe while cooking in the kitchen. While my original Nexus 7 case was smooth PU leather, for HD version I chose carbon fiber finish that adds 3D dimension look. Whatever color or finish you choose to personalize your Nexus 7 HD, for sure Slim-Fit case will be great to protect your tablet and to enhance its usability and functionality.
Here are the pictures.

Just like with smartphone cases, some users might actually be looking for cases even slimmer than Slim-Fit, and that's where you find Ultra-Slim to do just that. This smart-shell is very lightweight and still offers a great hardback protection with premium quality PU leather exterior and microfiber interior to protect from scratches. It comes in a wide variety of colors and finishes, and offers a very precise and non obstructive cutouts for the ports, buttons, and the camera. Also, there is an adequate corner protection. The front covers has a magnetic latch which doesn't interfere with tablet functionality. Also, the cover offers the same auto-wake/sleep functionality where screen will be turned off automatically upon closing it. Everything tested to be working great. To keep the case ultra slim, you will not find any hand strap or extra elastic bands. The cover actually tri-folds to form a neat kickstand to use your tablet upright in landscape mode on any flat surface. I also found this tri-fold makes a very comfortable grip to hold your tablet with one hand. This will definitely come handy on the go when you want to use your Nexus 7 as book reader or in any other situation where you want to free up your other hand. As an alternative to Slim-Fit, Ultra-Slim has a very sophisticated slim look and still offers a great protection!
Here are the pictures.
the carbon fibre look is nice, is it magnetic ON/OFF as well? any ebay? i wouldn't mind getting that one
They refreshed the Ultra-Slim case!
I have the old version with the metal thing on the cover.
Nope, not going to spend money on another case.
Nope..
Slim Fit
I absolutely love the Slim Fit for my Nexus 7 2013. I chose the black leather finish.
The fit is perfect and the quality seems to be very good. The stitching is nicely done and the leatherette finish is very good quality. At least for feel you'd almost think it was leather even though you know it isn't. It has stood up to my two year old tossing it around without so much as a scratch.

Yep, the sleep/wake function works perfectly! Very slick looking case, and the tablet still feels slim overall even with a case on. Plus, extra padding on the front/back and corner protection gives it a piece of mind if you drop it.
I have the Slim-Fit case and the Poetic Slimline case, another vendor's version of the MoKo Ultra_Slim case. I prefer the Slim-Fit case for use around the house because the open-close seems more natural and I have found that I really like using the hand strap. The Ultra_Slim case is nice because it is much slimmer and lighter, making it better for general out-and-about carrying - the N7 in that case is amazingly thin and light. Both case work fine with wireless chargers.

Gotta say I really like this case. It fits like a glove and isn't very bulky at all. I can't believe how inexpensive they are.
Thanks for the pictures. You have a very nice kitchen.
I've been using the Slim-Fit for a few weeks now and it's a great case for the money. I find the on/off function to be a little wonky at times, but everything else is just fine.
i got the WHITE moko slim magnetic case, haven't opened it yet, got on amazon for 18cdn.
maybe a knockoff, it doesn't have the MOKO logo at the front ( it does have the MOKO logo on the magnetic clasp

I got the same case from Amazon. Compared to the pics of the case it looks just fine. So far...the case has worked great.
Picked up the carbon fiber (softish) case for my girlfriend for her N7 that she got for christmas, and JUST got home with my own...
Think I'm going with the hard shell one, but I'm a bit curious:
I use my tablets in bed a lot as I don't want a TV/laptop in my bedroom and I was wondering about the reliability of the fold-stand for the hard case...How do you think it would "stand" (I'm sorry) on say a bed?
For any stand it's preferable to have a hard surface so its leveled, otherwise it would tip over. But if you are in bed, wouldn't you just keep it propped on your stomach?
Btw, both of the cases work perfectly with wireless charging. The charging takes almost as long as it does without a case, so I assume it charges at the same speed.
Three questions
With the Slim-Fit case, does the handle and/or grooves leave markings on the face of the device? Meaning, when you close it and reopen it, are there stripes on the Nexus?
Does the Nexus really fit securely in the Slim-Fit case with just the corners protected and not the sides, top or bottom?
When you close either one, do they lay flat (either case) or is there a way to close it tight like a closure flap or strap similar to the one hooking it backwards? (Hope you understand what I mean)
Thanks in advance.

No markings at all, its microfiber material - super soft to the touch, the kind you would use to clean your screen.
Super secure fitment, actually a bit hard to take out. It will loosen up a bit after awhile, especially if you pop out the bottom two corner protections when using in kickstand position, but still will grip it secure. It should survive a drop, although if you are outdoors and drop your tablet a lot, I would suggest something like Seidio DILEX for more extreme protection.
If you look at the first picture of Slim-Fit, on the edge of the cover (next to where elastic band is) there is a fix flap that will clasp the other side of the case when closed. So the cover flap will not open by itself. You need to physically push on it to open. This is very important because if you drop your tablet and cover flap will flip open - it could land on the display, but instead it will stay shot and as a matter of fact that extra rigid padding on the cover will provide a shock protection.

NFC also works with this case. I tested it by transferring pictures and a short video from my galaxy s3, both running carbon ROM 4.3.

I've been on the hunt for a decent case for this phone since I got it on its release date and it's been greuling. It's almost as if this phone doesn't exist, in the Americas anyway, a lot of cases I've come across are nameless and generic, worst of all, poorly designed with a big theme being the inclusion of the battery door button cutout.
Here's a few companies and cases I've found to be actually designing a case for this phone:
VRS Design, some simple designs that work, nothing too fancy but that's just what some of us want:
https://vrsdesign.com/collections/lg-v20
Noreve, these are some impressive wallet style cases and the quality seems unprecedented, great for a gift or for those of us who want a nice leather flip case, definitely not within most budgets with certain customization options but worth keeping in mind:
http://www.noreve.com/en/1303-v20
J&D Slim Case, a simple case from Amazon for cheap, does the job but features the aforementioned battery button cutout and a less precise design than the rest on this list, I found it to be the more acceptable of the budget cases I've come across because of its simple design, small form factor, and the 4 color options:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KNQ4SH6/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_ONQGybGDMFMHS
Seidio, skeptical at first but glad this is a case I bought, a random brand that popped up in my search a few times. They seem to have one of the few 2 layer cases that don't have a battery button cut out and that also doesn't add much heft to the phone, all with adding a kickstand as well. Another great thing I love about the case is that it's inner layer can function as a standalone super slim rubber case, the fit is perfect and there are no quality issues as far as the precision and design is concerned (will post pics eventually):
https://www.seidioonline.com/product/lg-v20-surface-case/
Incipio, a popular brand making decent cases for more than just Samsung and Apple phones? WHAT?! I was surprised to see the selection Incipio has for the V20 and they look very promising. Starting from $20 you can get a case that fits well, looks nice, is from a trustworthy brand and best of all, doesn't have a battery button cutout! I took a liking to the Dualpro, NGP, and Octane models, they seem to provide good protection without adding a ton of bulk and offer some options for color:
https://www.incipio.com/cases/smart...lg-v20-cases/incipio-dualpro-lg-v20-case.html
https://www.incipio.com/cases/smart...0-cases/incipio-ngp-advanced-lg-v20-case.html
https://www.incipio.com/cases/smart.../lg-v20-cases/incipio-octane-lg-v20-case.html
I hope this helps some people out there hunting for cases, I was sure in need of this research and thought I'd share.
these are some cool cases. Thanks.
I have the High Pro Shield VRS (also had it on Note 7). Fit and feel is perfect,however.... The kickstand pivot seems to be positioned a hair too low. The phone tends to wanna fall over at the slightest bump. The Note 7 didn't suffer from this (same model case). Its like the center of gravity is a lil higher, still a great case and is not a deal breaker.
Oh hey, I've wanted Incipio to make cases for this phone. It's my lucky day. Now to convince myself 19.99 is worth it...
Have you actually tried them all? If not which one did you end up going with? I may go with the Incipio for $19.99. It's definitely worth it because I don't have phone protection. You think I'd learn my lesson after dropping a Nexus 6P and cracking the screen. Nope. I'll try to be careful.
UAG
It's a bit bulky and the cam is recessed (good).
However, when you insert the case, make sure the button (left) side inserted first.

My big thing has been keeping screen recessed since my Evo 4g took a 2 ft fall getting out of a car & hit perfectly on a rock to shatter the screen.
I always used OtterBox defender after that. But phones kept getting larger. When I got Note 7, tried UAG and loved it when I switched to V20 got UAG again. Much less bulk, but feels just as safe. Phone has dropped multiple times with zero issues.
I bought this one in navy for 11$ on Ebay sale. Gorgeous looks with solid quality, great feel in hand (not slippery at all), not bulky and totally protected with Spigen tgsp! #stronglyrecommend https://www.incipio.com/cases/smartphone-cases/lg-smartphone-cases/lg-v20-cases/incipio-ngp-advanced-lg-v20-case.html
How good are the Ghostek cases? They look pretty cool.

i found the poetic revolution to be the best case . My phone has fell so much in the street and also i accidentally threw it to a wall. LOL everything looking good so far. I have had it since november. It has flaps for dust proofing and whole for every mic and the IR . It has a screen protector that if it gets scratched or you dont like it, well, you can always remove it and use your temper glass.

How well does it slide in and out of your pocket? My biggest beef is when a case is too "rubbery" and gets hung up.
Also how is the built in screen protector? I've been thru a ton of glass protectors now, none seem to suit me.

It slides very nice in and out of pocket. Lol
The built om screen protector is quite good. I didnt remove the one that came with the and yet it adhered very well to it. Up until now it has just one small scratch on it.
Over the time, the cover start getting some external sign of use that looks like sctatch but is more caused by all the time thr phone has felt on the street and other places. Lol nevertheless it still feels as if thr cover were brand new.
The only downside is that if you put it in a diagonal surface, it will slide easily. Unless you put it upside down
Picked up the Poetic Revolution case but removed the screen protector. In hindsight, that might not have been the best idea because of the double-sided take they use on the top and bottom of the front piece that holds the protector.
Let's just say I'm almost worried about removing the front now as I can see the adhesive trying to stick to the phone. ....... (Wait, Devhux! You mean to say you didn't think of that BEFORE putting on the front piece????? Hahahahaha!)
