REVIEW ON POST #6
Has anybody bought this stand! I really like it. In fact i prefer it over the other cradles, since it can be used both in portrait and landscape.
i tried buying it several times but paypal keeps giving me limitation errors though i am verified. contacted them but no use, they suck. i cant even make donations here
Here is the link to the product
http://www.4u-mobi.com/onlineshop/online_shop_detail.php?pid=5415
If anybody here has it, could you pls review with some pics. thanks
Paypal sucks as*. They refuse to unfreeze my account even though I did 4 things they asked me too. I refuse to fax them pics of my social security number and id.
I was going to order the stand because I've been looking for one. I clicked ABOUT US and found this:
4U-Mobi is offers a wide range of accessories of PDA, iPod, Smartphone, etc.
We accept credit card payments over the PayPal. Accepting Visa and Mastercard. All payments in US Dollars and deliver worldwide.
The above is copy/paste from their site. I never order anything online from foreign companies unless I've heard of them.

I researched 4u-mobi and they seem reliable , some guys here in the htc hd forum have already purchased from them and received their products.
Well i am gonna buy one and write a review for you guys.
+1 on paypall being idiots.
This is a awesome stand! I shall purchase one after im done saving for my Nikon D300
i just received this stand.here is a little review:
the +ve
I really like it. Looks elegant on my desk.
The bottom has a non slip rubber, the part where the device goes in is plastic and the leg is made of steel. the 90 degree rotation is very useful. There is cut outs for the usb and earphone plugs. i am using the device on it with no issues, it is stiff and its not shaking at all.
the -ve
I bought it from here
http://www.4u-mobi.com/onlineshop/online_shop_detail.php?pid=5415
I got it within two weeks, the thing is don't expect any customer service from these guys. They don't even send you an email of purchase confirmation.
Despite contacting them several times- No reply.
I am attaching some pics
Very nice gonna order 2 of those, and thanks for the review.

You are welcome!
I just got mine a couple days ago after reading your post. Agree with everything you said. It's nice and sturdy. The 90% rotation is great for watching YouTube videos in landscape mode. A lot better than I expected. It feels like it'll last for years. Just don't expect to take this with you because it won't fit in your pocket. I rest it next to my computer and use it as a secondary computer, listen to radio, watch movies, check email, etc...

Thanks for the great review and pics.
It looks like from your pics that the volume down button is a little obscured. I'm I right, or is it just the angle of the picture? Did yours come with the top clip as shown on the website? Is it tight with the top clip on? The reason I ask is because I have the US HD2 and it's a little taller than the EU HD2.
Thanks.
Has anyone tried using this stand with an HD2 skin on their device, such as BodyGuardz, InvisibleShield or BSE? I'm wondering if a transparent skin would make it too hard to insert into this stand.
I think I will get this and secure it to my dash as a car mount. This way I can use it in both landscape or portrait if desired.
Looks great to me, thanks for the heads up!
(Official car dock is expensive :S)
Update: Just ordered, looking forward to this.

Yes , unfortunately thats the only setback. the volume down button is obscured. It doesn't really bother me though.
Yes i got my top clip but don't need to use it since without it its easy to put the device on and off. Even without it the phone stays securely in place.Plus i think the clip has a couple of mm more room.
I also did some DIY on the inner side of the stand to protect my phone from scratches. i used self adhesive soft fabric and cut it right.

Great, thanks for answering my questions. I purchased the stand based on your review. I think if the volume down being obscured bothers me I can just cut a bit of the plastic. Great idea with the lining, I might have to do that too.

Hey! I'm doing the same thing as soon as I get it. I'll be mounting it on the top of my steering column. With my CarPC, I'll be using it with Remote Desktop for diagnostic functions and GPS. In portrait it won't obscure my gauges...
3 weeks...
I ordered this on Apr 22nd and still haven't received it. I emailed them and they actually replied back the next day with a tracking #. Shipped May 4th and will take 10-14 days from HK.

Just made a similar modification to my stand, although with Moleskin Plus.
Although I found putting it on the arms made it very tight and too difficult to slip the device in.
In fact, even with it just on the back and sides it is very tight.
Do you find the same issue with yours?

Mine slides in and out smoothly. You need to use very thin fabric lining like i have. i also cut the left plastic side which covers the volume button. now it works great.
HTC HD2 smart stand is also available on Expansys ... I'll buy from them (very reliable in previous transactions)

Ordered a leather case of ebay for £8.99 its basic but i do think its better than the cloth one you get with it

Ah very nice. I would interested in a write up of your opinion and images with the Streak in the case when you get it, if not too much trouble.
I need to purchase one pretty soon if the US release indeed is July 14th.
.
BAD EXPERIENCE with the seller.
I order this one on 22/6, havent received it. I sent a couple of email to the seller, and wanted to return the item if he had not sent it yet. He just closed my return case and reported to ebay that he dealt with me through email, the thing he never did.
I will wait a couple of day more before opening a dispute through paypal and report to ebay
The one listed above? The case isnt available until the 3rd July (as its says in the listing) so you wouldn't have got it. Since the 3rd was Saturday id have expected delivery about Wednesday this week.
I purchased the case on 22/6 which saved it was available on 23/6, he also marked it as despatched on that day. That's why I am so upset right now with the seller attitude
I ordered one of the super trader ones yesterday, its just been shipped, should be here in the morning.
Guess it will take up a bit less space than the oakley hard case I've been using to transport the streak this weekend..
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
this one might be good. they custom make it for you
$bay:
design your own case
have a look at some of the comments on the "easecase" on xda..
especially the HD2 forum, some people weren't that impressed with them
I'm presuming Noreve will come out with a case at some point for the streak, their cases are really good, I've been really happy with my Hd2 one.
My HD2 easecase is really nice. It fits perfectly and is well made. Id say the leather isnt high end quality, and does look fake, but its been durable.
Ive seen some of those so call high end cases that cost £50+ and frankly they look like rubbish. Good leather, but not so well made or fitting.

I think you have given him more than enough time. REPORT before he skips town !!
I got my case from superetrader, via the ebay store, the link above this morning having ordered it over the weekend.
I suggest dropping them a line via their online shop, they have been pretty responsive in the past. I've never had an issue with them
Anyway the case isn't too bad, theres a recess for the streak and a cover held in place with two magnets. Not certain what effect those magnets will have on the screen or the compass. But we'll see..
Its not a tight fit, with the cover open, so it's pretty easy to get the streak out. It's a pity the internal compartment isn't see through so you can see the screen without moving it from the case. But overall it should do the job of protecting it while its in my bag.

Whoa thank you very much for doing this! A huge help.
- Do you think it would be easy to cut off the belt clip?
- Can you fit it in your pocket?
- Does the flap have magnets in it?
- Does the flap bother you?
For me personally, I think the flap would be very bothersome. I would prefer just a simple slide out.
Thanks again

belt clip is held on buy a stud so should be able to take it off but i wanted one on
it fits in my pocket OK but would fit better with no belt clip
the flap has two magnets on it and no it does not bother me i dare say in a few months ebay will be full of accessories
The flap is big but i do think it makes the pouch more damage proof if you know what i mean
This is the Roo case with the kick stand, bought from a seller on amazon. I just wanted to warn anyone who is thinking about getting this case. My experience with both the seller and the case is horrible.
First, the seller does not reply unless you threaten them with a file claim and negative reviews. My first email went completely ignored. My case was past due and the tracking number was invalid, i'm guessing they forgot or ran out. Anyways then they replied to my second email with its lost somewhere but that they will upgrade to priority mail when they receive it.
Then i finally got the case. First i gotta say the viewing angles are great. Unfortunately the case is loose and the top is not covered when the case is open. At first i didn't think this was a problem until i accidentally picked it up by the wrong end this morning. The result: my nc fell, while i was in the kitchen, on the tile floor. There are now scratches on both top connor of my nc. The good news is that the nook is pretty sturdy, everything still works at least.
Anyways i just wanted to post my review here first. I will most likely review on amazon too.

I have this as well, and entirely the other experience. I dislike the non closed top, but havent had it fall out, ever. it is easy enough to fix too.
Hmmm I'm considering this case. Thanks for the review.
I am surprised at the review here. I had no problems contacting the seller about not gettng my case. Not only did our correspondence start with email, with an immdiate response with no threats, and when I followed up via phone I reached a human immdiately. It seems like Amazon was accepting orders beyond the sellers supply. Unfortunately the sellers system was set to assign shipping info automatically thus I got a shippng confirmation when my item wasn't shipped.
I love my RooCase! I LOVE the many multiple angles and I think it fits snuggly in the case. Despite the lack of cover at the top when opened my very clutzy self and my almost two year old son have yet to get it out the case despite our many accidents! I have easy access to all buttons on the sides; power and volume. I like how I can either readit propped on a table or while lying down on my back in bed.
I find the magnet quite strong. When I don’t want to use the multi angled stand it turns into a not so bulky case for simple hand holding or laying down on my lap or table.
I take my NC everywhere! This case holds up to the rough daily wear I give it.
I will admit sound is slightly muted with no cut out in the back. This was tested with B&N read to me book Go, Dog Go. I was dissappointed it required manual page turns versus automatic when it gets to the end of the page. Since I didn't buy the NC for its sound quality properties I am not really considering this an issue with the NC or the RooCase.
In conclusion, I highly recommend this case!

I was thinking about getting that case but since reading your review I think I might pass and continue my search.
Just to second this I also had a terrible experience with the seller and filed a complaint with Amazon. They claimed the package shipped on one date, charged my credit card and did not actually ship it for several weeks. They never replied to my email. If you look at the seller feedback the main complaints are about them failing to ship. The case itself is ok (nothing special and makes the nook color a lot bulkier) but the seller does not appear to be trust worthy.
Yes that was my main complaint with the seller. They send out an email that the item was shipped, with an invalid tracking number, and then lied that it was "lost somewhere" when you contact them to ask where your item was. They should have just truthfully told that the item was out of stock and ask you to wait.
I've read differing reviews on the fit of this case. Personal experience says the case is too loose but other reviews has stated that it was fine. If it helps any, I ordered the grey case.
I bought this case and had a simlar experience. I purchased the case on Jan 20 with an estimated delivery date of Jan 27-Feb 1. The item didn't "ship" until Jan. 28. I checked it using the tracking number on Feb 5th and it had made it all the way to the Anaheim, CA post office (the company is located in Chino, CA) travelling an impressive 25 miles in that time. It was on this day that I wrote my letter to the seller. I still have yet to receive a response from the company, but I finally did recently receive the case. The case itself is actually pretty cool. I find it solidly built, and convenient. I noticed, as was previously noted, that when open there is nothing to block the nook from sliding out if the case is held upside down, so I will probably get some sort of leather strip and velcro to keep it in. Let me know if you have anymore questions.
In summation case = good, seller = really bad.

I have a similar case with open top. Here's how I secured mine, required punching 3 holes, bit of stretchy cord + thin charm.
Sorry about links, it won't let me post external links until I have 8 posts, ugh.

The charm is used like a button which fits through the hole punched in back cover.
I have the roocase as well and my experience is similar. I got shipping info immediately that was invalid and i had to contact the seller. They gave me the free upgraded shipping and i had my case a few days later.
I really like the case. Fits snugly and feels great. I highly recommend it if you can stand the wait for shipping.

Indeed- I took a gamble and ordered this case on Sunday, February 20th. With my Amazon Prime shipping benefits, it arrived today- Tuesday, February 22nd.
Whew!
Wow. Wish I would have read this and or waited til Amazon took over the shipping duties. I ordered mine on the 14th and it is still preparing to ship. I sent an email to the seller today. I have Amazon Prime as well. Yay me.
interesting.
Got same case, only thing i dislike about it is the fact that the speaker is blocked. Nothing a lil boxcutter knife wont fix but still, could have been better.
My experience has been good. Ordered the case, got it about 5 days later.
Overall, I like the case. Yeah, I think they should have closed the top so the device can't fall out, but it's not that big of a deal.
The case is super useful. Love that you can set it up at any angle on a table and read. Leather is nice too. Recommended.
I was looking into getting this case. Right now I have the smoke grey case from B&N.
Does this have slots to store items, like SD cards and such? And can they potential fall out when the stand is being used?
Hi Guys,
Thinking of getting this case as well .... but found that the stand is for portrait. True?
How do you have your NC on the landscape format and standing and tilted - I mean if you are watching videos, it would be in landscape, right?
Is there any other alternatives? So far, the folio types open side way (not flip) but user feedback that the straps at the top is covering the power and volume button.
My son decided that he wanted the WOWparts case. I posted a review on Amazon about it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008M5SD9U/ref=oss_product
It claims to have a magnet for the sleep/wake function, but there isn't one. Also, the part that holds the device is too big vertically by just over 1/4". As a result, his Nexus 7 can slide around inside the case, making it more difficult to use. I've contacted WOWparts in case they accidentally sent us the wrong case. I'll post here again if they respond.
I'd say to avoid this one. Even if everything was right, the similar Poetic case (which I review here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795991) is superior in every way. At the time, it was $2 cheaper to boot, although now the Poetic one is more expensive.
Would love to hear any feed back on the rotating case from WOWparts. Anyone order this?
Thanks for letting us know.

Ah, thanks for this, this was on my list of potentials.
They got back to me. Evidently it was mis-listed as having a smart cover when it doesn't. They offered to let me keep it and get a partial $5 refund. I took a them up on it. It would have cost me at least $3 to ship it back anyway. The fit still isn't the greatest, so I can't recommend it. They were quick to respond, though, so I'll give them credit for that.

From looking at the listing, it doesn't have the smart cover, if that makes a difference to you. If the Nexus 7 fits in that one like it does in the one my son got, I'd say to take a pass.

I did end up getting the rotating case from WOWparts. Although it doesn't have the smart cover - it does fit the Nexus 7 perfectly. For $10 delivered to Canada.. I would say it is a decent buy

Was just about to take the plunge on a Portenzo, BUT NOW IVE SEEN THIS !
Don't know which one to get, only problem with this one is its plain, and the stand doesn't look very sturdy, and if its anything like the one I have now itll fall over with the slightest touch !
Wow, this looks really good AND THEY SHIP TO NEW ZEALAND!!
Now i have to decide between this and the Nillkin Smart Cover.
Cheers for the heads up!
I received the case yesterday and I'll say, for $25 bucks delivered, its an awesome case.
My only complaint is the way the cover flap snaps on. Its got two hooks on the outside that snap down over the back side cover. I'm trying to think of a way to engineer a better solution for closing the case. I think I'll remove the two hooks and make a latch in the center that holds it down. I'll post pics of the creation when I figure out the logistics and get it done.

Whats wrong with the hooks? Does it not shut tightly? Also, will the case fold back flat onto itself for holding the tablet in portrait mode?

The hook are a little clunky because you have to pause for a moment after closing the case flap to make sure they both went on. I like it though; it keeps the flap closed but it doesn't really get in the way. I'm a little worried about the magnets though, as I've heard they can cause problems with the N7. Has anyone had any issues with them?
EDIT: Forgot to answer your other question. Yes, the flap will fold flat onto the back of the device.
bad case
Had the case only 2 weeks and the plastic clips that hold it closed broke. Contacted Devicewear and all they are doing is giving me the run around
O we have sent you emails but you have not responded. Funny i got that one though. when i responded back they just ignore you. This case is crap and the company has lost any future bis with me.

Nope. It just slips and falls over.
Have had the case now for over a day and I do have a few thoughts about it. Purchased at a Verizon store last Sat(none in my area had it in stock apparently) for $48 with tax and 3 day shipping to my home. Color was the grey which I thought went really well with my gunmetal model. Upon putting it on the phone I felt that the fit was spot on. The back snapped right into place and the front flip cover rests evenly on the screen. Functionality of the case is second to none. It works as advertised ranging from being able to see time and current weather conditions to making and answering calls.
Some of the other things that will light up are any incoming text messages and you can also dismiss any alarms that you have set to go off by simply following the gestures. A big question that I had when I bought the case was whether or not that the music playback would be hindered. I'm very happy to report that audio playback was just as clear and precise as if the cover wasn't over the front of the device. Another plus is when you open the cover the phone automatically unlocks and the screen shuts off when the cover goes back on. Thus greatly eliminating use of the top mounted power button.
I felt the choice of the materials for the case were not bad. The rear material certainly doesn't feel like a cheap plastic by any means, but it's nowhere near as nice as the phone's metal finish. The most comfortable way of using the phone for me was to hold the cover with my left hand and use my right to operate the phone itself. Now, I have rather large hands so this could obviously be different if you weren't blessed with such a thing. Folding the front of the case back over the rear proved to be uncomfortable to me. Another downside is the fact that the front cover cannot double as a kickstand when positioning the phone in landscape. When done so, the phone just falls flat on its back.
Overall, I definitely like the case. It has that wow factor to it as everyone I have showed it to have been amazed by it's functionality. The only things that HTC should improve on it is to have the front flap being able to fold back and stay flush on the rear of the device. I also would had like for the front flap to stay open when you open, but the trade off is that when it springs back into position it does a good job of staying over the screen, even in a loose pocket. I noticed no addition use of the screen during the day in Gsam battery monitor. If I were to give it a score out of 10 I'd place it at an 8. Only major cons would be price and certain aspects of holding the device depending on hand size.
I'd have to tip my hat to HTC for coming up with the concept. If anyone has anymore questions about it feel free to ask.

What is your provider? It looks like the black ones are available on Verizon.com again (they were sold out all week). Just ordered one for a friend.

I'm having german t-mobile as well, they told me today that the cases should arrive this week..? but don't know how true that is..
amazon started listing the colored variations today, but all of them are marked as "available for preorder"
any chance you could post a couple of pics showing what the case looks like when open and folded back? All the photos i've seen of it don't show this. want to know how much it bulks the phone out.
cheers
Managed to pick the one and only one of these up from my local Phones4U in Croydon today, then went to the other local Phones4U and bough the other one, looks like they are finally starting to trickle in.
Figured out how to get the case to function as a kickstand. It's simple, but involves needing something else like a laptop or book as a prop. Simply open the cover and fold it over the back of the device. Then just rest the device on the laptop or book of your choice. Then, boom it stays put in place and with the way I got it, the angle is pretty nice for viewing.
