Hey forum,

i noticed mine dings easily on the sides, but have yet to actually break anything, but farthest i think it has dropped is about 4 feet, and the hardest being a wood floor in a house.
Good case and a screen proteror and you are good to go. When I have to take mine out of the case it still looks like new.

I have my speck candyshell case for just about three weeks now and I'm really getting annoyed by the edges (tpu part that grips the edges of the phone) because the material is scraping off. Is this a common problem with this case?
Mine is starting to do this to. I thought I read somewhere that they was a recall because of issues.

Hmmm, would there be even a slight chance that this is covered by warranty? I live in the Philippines and I bought this from an authorized dealer. Is the customer support of speck good?

BUMP!
Bought mine from a vendor on Ebay, not sure if it wild be covered.

I've used Speck before and they cracked in the middle. Love the design, hate the quality.

That problem is only for the Pebble/Buyao and they were already recalled and the new ones had this issue solved.

Rumor has it that preorder will start tomorrow and the case will be available in about a month.
I have one of these for my original nexus 7 and its really good for the price. Just figured I'd pass on the info.

Im gonna have to pass. I made the mistake of buying the Slimline for my OG N7 and it was terrible. Left marks on the screen and practically fell apart. And I hardly even used the flippin case. Only put it on when I was traveling about. I had it for about 5 months, and by the 4rth month it was already fraying at the edges.
I had the same problems with the slim case. I have had the revolution for my nexus 7 for a long time and it's in Greddy shape.
BTW the new case is on amazon now for $20

$70! Damn I ordered one for $20 on amazon. I paid $30 for the one for my original 7 but I see they are $20 now as well.

What a rip off
I'd rather get best buy protection and go naked with that price

FYI, Amazon Just Dropped the Price on this Cae Its now Only $14.99 Free Shipping! , BTW I pre-Ordered Both The Revolution and the Slimline, heck for $20 shipped on both, its bang for buck, I've had Poetic in the past, Quality is not the best but not the worst either;for me it's enough; I'm really careful with my devices I'll bet they'll last me!
PS. I trust My N4 with a Poetic Atmosphere.

Thanks for the update. Any idea how OK can get them to honor that price instead of the $20 I already ordered out at?
As far as the cases go I really, really like the one that I have for my nexus 7. I was looking for a defender case but I wasn't about to spend $70 on one. I haven't really been happy with defender cases lately anyways. After buying one for my note 2 I'll never buy one again.
The revolution case is defender like, can be had for less than half the cost and the button press is easy and it feels good in hand. I bought one of the first runs and it had the blurry screen protector. I contacted poetic and they sent me two replacements..... It took a month or so to get them made amnd to me but they made good. While I was waiting I just knocked the one out and installed a stock on one on the screen.
Anyways ever since I got the new front its been on, clear and nice and I don't think twice about letting my toddler use the tablet.

Dam, for $70 I would need a b...job with it. lol That is way to high for a device under $300. I'm sure it is awesome though.

Amazon canceled my $20 order so I ordered one at $14.99 and just got confirmation that it shipped. Can't wait to get this in a case!

Just got the email that it will be shipped between 24th and 28th

Hi guys,
So my order came in today. I’ve had the case for about the the whole afternoon now and I wanted to give my quick impressions. Took a bunch of pictures to show off this beautiful case.

Nice write up and I'm exited for mine to come in. The pics are a little small but nothing a little pinch zoom can't fix.
Thanks, Danny R.

Awesome. I just checked my shipment and it looks like it was just shipped 12 hours ago even tho I got a email from amazon saying it shipped before that. Kinda bummed, I've been waiting a long time for this case. I've actually been using my old nexus 7 all the time just because I like the way it feels in my hand with the case on.
Looks like I'll be happy with the case when I get it tho.

Ordered one of these myself. Looked very decent. Been looking for something that has decent protection as my kids broke the screen on my first generation that I'm still trying to figure out what to do with. Estimated delivery date is Monday, however I'm doubtful as the tracking days it's been in San Francisco since the 19th.

Is anybody else's screen protector very cloudy? Mine is cloudy and has specs that kind of look like a screen protector placed on a dirty screen. This is the screen protector however, and not the screen being dirty.

Make sure you removed the plastic protector film on the outside as well as the inside of the built in screen protector.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
Much better thank you. It was the inside cover that I didn't know was there. There is some distortion, giving a rainbow like look, but that's something I expect I guess from a screen protector that is not adhesively bonded.

That rainbow effect never goes away either. My original nex7 case still has it. It's not bad once the screen turns on.
This case is way better than the original case. only thing I don't like is the horizontal stand, it leans back farther than the original nexus 7 case.

I have a brand new rugged case (the black and white one) it has the inner plastic then the rubber goes over the plastic. I am giving it to the right person. All I ask is you to pass it forward.
Tell me why you need it in the comments

I need it because I'm the first person to reply. I don't have a sob story or any real special need for it besides wanting a case for my new 10.1 2014 that I bought (after coming from the 10.1 OG) so I won't do you the dishonor of lying to you. I would treat it nice and when I'm done using the tablet and case I will donate it to charity in a few years.

I would like because I'm just getting my first Samsung device in the mail soon! I ordered a 2014 Note 10.1 After selling my iPad mini retina to pay for it. I hopefully can be a lot more productive for school with it. It would be awesome to get a case right off the bat so I don't have to worry about dropping it going to and from classes.
l always wanted a rugged case for my tablet which i am using the while day as it is my phone, reading material, reference and my entertainments. I basically carry it all the time. A rugged case is the most suitable case for me. But, sadly as i researched online I will cost me a bomb, 3x time more expensive compare to normal book case. I am using one with Rock Case as the brand name. The material is starting be feel rough and will start to peel off soon.

I had wanted to get that case for my v10, but people had signal problems with it on. Sadly metal cases affect phone signal.
Looks very ugly.
