When I slightly try to flex my Nexus 7 horizontally, a sort of an odd sound comes from it. Do other other users also observe this. Is it of poor build quality?

The nexus 7 is not a flexible device. That odd sound is likely a signal to the user to stop trying to flex the device.

I may sound like an OCD victim, but I was trying to test the rigidity of the device. Like The kind of tests tech Youtubers do with Mechanical keyboards and other large devices. Marques Brownlee had done an extreme variation of what I did on his LG G Flex video. While I understand that LG Flex has been specifically manufactured to withstand these extreme tests and conditions, I just wanted to see how my Nexus 7 compares. I was not at all extreme with it and just slightly flexed it, subjecting it to those conditions which were all extremely likely on normal user's usage scenario. Pardon me, if you thought what I did was wrong.

I wouldn't take it personally. It's just that it kind of gets old when you keep reading posts in the forums of people looking for defects in their devices that aren't really defects at all. If you take a gander in the Nexus 5 forums, you'll see they are littered with threads about real non-issues. For example, one guy made a post saying he thought his Nexus 5 had a problem because when he would push hard on the back under the camera, it would creak a little bit.
My advice... Just use your tablet like it was meant to be used, and don't sit on it or do anything that would cause it to flex. One can really drive him/herself mad looking for imperfections in his/her electronic devices.
I agree.

I'm not judging right or wrong here, I just don't see the point of stress testing a perfectly good device (unless of course you are a tech editor and want to show your readers/viewers a potential device weakness). Personally, I treat my devices with kid gloves - I like the way they look and feel now, and I'd like them to be the same 2 years down the road when I trade up to the newest version.
And flexing a device that wasn't intended to flex is just asking for problems.

I just bought a cruzerlite spi force nexus 5 case and was wondering what u guys thought about it... It looks nice but I read mix reviews on it... It seems like people's complaints was that it was a hard plastic vs the rubber material so it won't protect it as much... Also the buttons are a little hard to press... So I was just wondering your guys opinion about it... Or if there is a better case that was similar...

Do you like the case?
In all honesty you can ask for the opinions of everyone here, and you might get a bunch of different answers. But if you like the case and are happy with it, who cares what anyone else thinks.
That being said, I have no experience with that case so can't comment anyway!

Why are they not making a holster? I am sure people would love it.

I really don't know. I asked them via twitter when would the holster be available and they said they have no plans on making a holster for the HTC 10.

Well tomorrow I will be posting my review for the spigen ultra hybrid clear case, spoiler alert but it is a sweet case.

I let Seidio know that they've lost a long time customer with no holster for the HTC 10. It is a critical part of the case in my opinion.

Lol so did I, told them I've been using their cases and holsters since the Palm Treo days and now I will no longer be buying their cases for any phone. They really make great cases and holsters but things like this drive me crazy.

Thanks for the review. Would you say you'd prefer the Tech21 over the Spigen Rugged even with the size difference taken into account?
I currently have the Spigen and may pick up the Tech21, but the size difference bothers me.

I prefer the spigen because it's smaller, doesn't attract fingerprints, the camera and flash cutouts are much better because they completely cover the back only showing the camera and flash. Hope this helps

I just received this one today and installed it. Reminds me a lot (almost a direct copy) of the Seidio case and holster at a considerably lower price.

Anyone know if the "ring" around the back camera is made of metal or is is chrome painted plastic?
Looks like chrome paunted plastic. Seems like the weakest part of this well made device
