I've been on the hunt for a really slim, lightweight case for my Incredible. I have the white HTC battery cover, so I was hoping for something like the iPhone "bumper" cases that allow the back to show through. Since there doesn't seem to be much in that department, I went hunting for the closest thing: the REVEAL by Griffin Technologies.
I really really like it, and couldn't find any other discussion of it, so I did a quick video review, and also took some close-up photos. I promise this isn't an ad, I actually do love this case!
Griffin sells it for $24.99, but you might be able to find it cheaper somewhere else.

Looks great... But where can I buy it using PayPal? I am really paranoid about these oddball vendors...

I can't really find it anywhere except griffin and bestbuy. I found one for $17.99 from one place but it had terrible sales reviews and I didn't want to risk it.
You just sold me on this so hard. Buying right now. Looks amazing with the white back, I can't wait to show it off finally, haha.
Oh by the way, check it out all. Found a coupon code if you order direct from Griffin Technology's website. The code is PIRILLO1510, it seems to have been active for a few months and you get 15% and free shipping. I can confirm it works. Hope this will help someone else out.

Nice review I was in the market for a case earlier in January but I got one before I saw your review. Then again, maybe if I had a cool white battery cover it'd look cooler. I still have the stock black one.
I actually just ordered one aswell with the discount code mentioned above the free shipping says it only lasts til feb 28 tho cant wait for it!

For those who have bought this case,
How rubbery is the black part of the case? Is there plenty of flex to easily hit all the buttons? Does it feel solid or cheap?

sides are flexable... real solid feeling and slim.. the buttons are easily pressed..by far the best case ive owned..I have the SPECK, otterbox commuter, and various "slim" fit cases and this case surpasses them by far...my case shopping days are over.

Anyone have any experience with this case? It seems some of the Xoom guys have Acase cases and like them. This one's under $10 if you use their promo code. I'm tempted to pull the trigger, but I have some other things to purchase, first.

Can you share the promo code for others, or is it a one-time thing? The item costs about $18 with shipping.

It's a tough one. I'd like a case, but I don't want the T-Mobile Folio case since it's not a good fit by all accounts. At the same time, I don't want to get this one if it's a POS, too. For instance, it looks like it doesn't completely fold out. But, for $10, I might just have to.
Just ordered one. Less than 15 bucks shipped, I figured I couldn't beat that even if its a POS.
I will let you guys know what I think once I get it.

I also ordered one, for use when (and if) I take my S7 out of the house. I will report back. I concur; it was too cheap not to try it.

Got mine yesterday. This is a very nice case, especially at the price. I will continue to use it when I go out of the house with my streak. The leather is good quality and the fit is good if not perfect. But I think it will l protect very well.

Well I got mine yesterday and for 10 bucks I think its awesome. It fits very snug and I can reach all the buttons with ease.
The only thing I can complain about is the piece of leather that goes around the screen kinda bows up a little bit but that may be cause its so new and just needs to break in a little bit.

Mine also bows out a bit, but since it holds fine, I have no complaints.

Yeah, promo code's gone, now. I ended up getting a wicked sweet murse, so I didn't purchase this. I'll post on it in a bit.
Doing pretty well
I have been using the case for a while now. I still like it, but it does slide a bit left to right. So for example if I wanted to use the camera (which I don't), I might have to position the device a bit to make sure the holes aligned.
Still can't beat it for the price...
I just picked it up, unfortunately not for $15 but for $25. For $15 I'd be happy, but it does not fit as snug as I'd like. I think it's going back, and I'm going to bite the bullet on the dell rotating case. Now if they can just do free shipping again.
Just got it today, i'm a happy camper! well built! fits snugly!

Hi Folks,
I emailed Incipio last week to see if they intended making covers for the N7 like they do for the Ipad and they emailed me back last night to say they are releasing a range of products but no details are available yet, but to keep an eye on their website and there should be info there soon. Would really like a Incipio feather case for my 7 along with a smart cover..
Hopefully in the next few weeks we'll have more info
Cheers,
Mick

Hope they make the legend case! Its the best case I've seen so far
These cases are amazing. I've Put some cash aside for when these are released. Even the international shipping seems reasonable. I'm surprised there isn't more mention of these on the forum rather than all the cheap plether bulky rubbish everyone seems to like! No accounting for taste!
Any updates on this?
I got this response from them yesterday. I did ask about which specific cases might be available but no details yet.

Thank you for your follow up email. We do have plans to be making cases for the Nexus 7, however they’re currently in development so we do not currently have an estimated release date for the cases. I apologize for any inconveniences, however if you have any other questions, feel free to let us know.

Kind Regards,

Exactly. Google is selling tons of these things and it's been over a month now. I want to give my money to anyone that comes out with a "tank" case but no one is stepping up to the plate.

Maybe it's because lots of friggin people want to friggin buy them?
...or maybe it's because one size fits all and so it's easier to get one to market early.
No company can set up, tool up and manufacture quality products at the drop of a hat never mind them wanting to make sure there's going to be a sustainable market for it.
I realise that moaning is one of the US national pastimes but these forums are international and believe me it gets very old very quickly having to trawl past all these whinging posts to try and find the good stuff.

sweet looking forward to getting one

Oh please. I'm not one of the complainers on this board and my post was not whining. These tablets have been selling like hot cakes and it's been out for long enough where someone should be making a hard case by now.

i agree with this. i also believe google announced the tablet and released it 2-3 weeks later and didn't work with anyone on accessories. perhaps it was to generate sales of their case, but the consumer got screwed. i'm not a fan of the asus case. from day one i wanted a leather case and over a month later, i'm still limited in my choices becasue companies are still working on their cases. i emailed marware last week and they still said 4-6 weeks.
OMG can this come any sooner?? :crying:
$30 for a sleeve? Are you guys seriously melting over this?
Talk about low standards.
Incipio makes decent cases, but they're always way overpriced. I got the N7 because of its value, and this is going to carry over with my accessories for it. If I wanted to overspend, I would have gotten an iPad.

You can't pick them up in stores since they are custom made and shipped. They do ship Worldwide, so you can order it, it will just take a while if you get the cheapest shipping option. Since I live in Canada, shipping is around $14, but worldwide looks to be around $17, so not too much of a difference.
Not so expensive shipment..thank you then!

Yep, it looks like they are the same as EarlyBirdSavings on eBay, which is based in Shenzhen, China. No surprise on the shipping then.
OP you might want to put that in the title.
You can get the black one from them on eBay for $3.41 as well or even try a best offer to see if you can get it cheaper. Still have to wait forever for it though.

Still looking for nice case with a kickstand. I don't know why these are so uncommon. People do want to watch video hands free on these tabs! Not a big fan of the portfolio cases, they just add too much bulk for my liking.

I'm assuming you've seen the TPU with a kickstand, like the Fosmon one on Amazon? I know its not the nicest looking one though.
Take a look at the soon to be released Poetic REVOLUTION Case too. It looks nice.
if you live by a major city (JFK, LAX) you can usually get it around 10 days
Shenzhen is next to Hong Kong, so most of the time they send it by HK post, and aside from chinese holidays the turn around is fairly quick, but if you live in the boonies, the USPS is where things slow down in my experience (for some reason USPS move domestic post faster than packages and envelops from overseas)
i got 2 more from them just in case the one i got breaks.
