Has anyone bought/used these before, and do they work? I have an s-line tpu case and wondered if its worth it to upgrade to this. -Ara

Amzer is a pretty decent company to buy from, and the skins are somewhat inexpensive. They sent me a few demo items to see if our stores were interested in carrying their Nexus 7 products... The overall fit was pretty snug, the skin seems fairly well made minus the edges which needed a little cleaning up. I didn't have any issues with the skin obstructing any features of the device, and it was easy to slip on and off. Here's a few pictures, hope they help with the decision making:

So just a little more feedback on this silicone skin... I dropped my Nexus 7 while getting out of my Jeep this morning (hands full and in a hurry to get to the office), and the blasted thing landed face down on concrete. If not for this skin I would instead be spending my evening searching for a replacement screen. It's by no means an otterbox, but the fact that it covers around the screen saved it.
Definitely give it two thumbs up!
Amzer silicone case
I got the black one bought at Expansys.com. It feels great, very thick rubber with a leather-like texture, reinforced with the x-shaped, thicker rubber piece in the middle that serves as an outer skeleton and adds extra rigidity. The case wraps around of all of the device without obstructing any holes/ports similarly to an otterbox impact cases.The edges serve the protective purpose. There is nothing wrong with them. They are spaced out more like the protruding edges of balistic cases. I feel confident that if my Nexus falls it will bounce off without any damage due to the case design. I store my Nexus when not in use in the bag inside a Case Logic Eva zippered case for additional screen protection.
We just reviewed one here at the office and the case does a pretty decent job. Not expensive either, so, I'd say worth the purchase.

This needs a bump, I ordered one from amazon.. and it was crap to say the least. I contacted Amzer and even though i ordered from a third party seller they offered to replace it for me for FREE! gotta love customer service! Other than that its a great case. :good:
Nice case!
I have the black one ordered from amazon as well.. It came in very quick . I agree this will protect the device from most bumps and bangs. this is the 3rd case i bought .
I am going to sell all 3 on ebay for a good price if i decide against buying another nexus 7.. not made my mind up. sent two back not sure i wanna deal with the hassles of google device support to order another..
anyway GREAT CASE for the money..

Does anyone know where to purchase one for the Legend, or if they're going to be available/produced soon?
think there should have one already or soon to come out with one. Just what a waste to put a silicon case on an beauty like the legend. guess we want to protect our gadgets too
Just bought here:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/White-Silicon..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item27b15ced09
wow that's eh, not pretty
I've ordered THIS http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...Category=20336&_trkparms=algo=LVI&its=I&otn=2
Hopefully, it will look like the picture, ie. cleaner arround the edges. If not, it's useful until something better comes along.
i got this http://cgi.ebay.it/HTC-LEGEND-FITTED-HYDRO-GEL-CASE-CLEAR-UK-SELLER-100-/360261490790?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item53e1421866 it's hard silicon and therefore easier to take out my pockets, just perfect in my opinion
search for Amzer covers if you like color.
Can't put link here cause i'm new.
CAPDASE makes a nice gel skin called Soft Jacket 2 Xpose that is worth paying a bit extra for IMHO. I had one for my HTC Hero and it was the nicest gel skin I've ever used. Easy to slide in and out of my pocket without the it gripping to my pocket too.
Comes in white or black and includes a screen protector!

I found them on ebay from an hong kong seller called decoholic.
Have a look!
Hi folks!
Can't post links as this is my first post, but just search for "HTC Legend flexishield" on ebay
I have been really happy with it thus far. There are some great reviews if you Google the above phrase and look at the listing on the mobilefun co uk site. There are some better photos there too.
I was on cheap silicone cover till yesteday the today I moved to flexyshield.
Works really great and fits the phone perfectly
One of the best aspects of the Legend is its sleek aluminium body/chassis.... there is no way I could cover it all up with a case!!
Yeah it's nice but that aluminum on the back sure taps like it's plastic. I kinda wish the entire back was that soft black rubber coating. But then it would not slide in/out pockets very easily...hmmm
I have tried multiple Nexus 7 cases and this is the best one I have come across to date. I bought it last week at £6 and I thought that was a good buy. For £4 it is a steal.
The case does not add much bulk like other cases available. The quality of the case is also pretty good (even if it is pleather).
The cover is kept closed with magnets and it can fold back to make a viewing stand (similar to the iPad case).
Available in Purple and Black for £3.98

why can't I find this in amazon US?
!!!
TeckNet seems to be a UK manufacturer who actually seem to have their own stuff rather than generic Chinese imports.
Is there any way to get this in the U.S?
Without the folio type covering around the bezel, this case would've been perfect.
Bought one of these yesterday and it just arrived.
Fits the device rather well, very secure with the way the velcro folds in at the spine. The magnetic bits do the trick and the device wakes up correctly. All the appropriate buttons exposed.
Main issues I have is that the cover doesn't close 100% flat (comes up a bit at the fold nearer the spine), and the cover doesn't easily fold round to the back. Hoping it'll improve over time. Does feel a tiny bit cheap but I've seen covers 3-4 times as expensive using the exact same material!
For £4 it's a bargain.
Edit: actually, new problem - nature of it covering bezel means it's harder than it should be to bring down the notification area. Still think it's worth £4 though, if you haven't got a case already. Wouldn't pay more than £6-7 for it!

The folding problem does go away after a few days of use. I agree about the bezel. If the device clipped in it would be perfect.
Received 4 days ago as backup for treegloo (not received yet after a month)... Great case for the price, suggested!
It arrived with 2 scrren protector!

The Nexus 7 clips into this case without velcro as somebody mentioned earlier.
Also, the magnets are so strong I can hang my Nexus 7 on the side of a metal filing cabinet using this case.
I ordered this case off ebay as well and it was shipped from California. I believe it was $10 with free shipping.

The case comes with these extended bumper corners which make holding the phone easier and provides extra protection from the Left Corner Drop of Doom. The weakest point of the case is the kickstand. The kickstand is flimsy and does not have a positive lock in place or a strong hinge when opened. the volume keys as well as the power key are covered. The charging port as well as the earphone jack are left exposed. The black rubber is harder than the standard TPU but not as hard as the white plastic that it is attached to.
All in all its a nice case

Nice case..found it too, with so many color variations..but they wont ship here..huhu..thanx for the review..
not a big fan at all, looks horrible!
Makes it look like the size of the Ziggy device on Quantum Leap show.
Well......
Im not sure how it makes the phone look bigger because the case isnt pictured with the phone in it.
Anyways I was in Sprint looking to see if they had gotten in either of my two favorites which are otterbox or ballistic and they hadnt. There was an older than me gentle man who was looking for a case for his phone and they had none and he said he was affraid he was going to break it. I explained that I understood seeing how my first one lasted 20hrs. I reached in my back pocket and gave him the case. He wanted to pay me for it but I told him it wasnt necessary and wished him a happy holiday season. He seemed a bit confused as well as the Sprint employees wonder why I was asking about a case when I am just pulling them out of my pocket giving them away like toys from Santa's bag. I think giving away an $8 freely shipped case to someone who will appreciate the act and may recipicate an act of kindnes to someone else this season is worth the small investment.
I have this exact case as well. It makes the phone too big for breast pockets, but still fine for pants pockets and carrying. I plan on only using it for when I need protection, but not as a daily driver. For the price, you can't beat it.
Ordered the same case. Do you have pics of the phone in it?
I have this case i think it feel really good in the Hand and looks good too. CLICK on the Link to see the Pictures

Agreed, but the TPU is a lot more stiff. Not certain but I would venture to guess these cases wouldn't do as well in drop tests.

Just got mine in the mail today. I like it, first tpu case ive ever used though so I cant compare it.
While searching for a case that's slim, good looking, folio, and doubles as a stand I stumbled upon the Moko Slim Shell Folio on Amazon. Others suggested the Moko Slim Fit which didn't seem slim at all, and the Poetic case which I ordered first. I found the Poetic case to be unnecessarily thick on the back piece and it just felt cheap overall. Compared to the Poetic the Moko Slim Shell felt better made, the plastic case was noticeably thinner, and although similar to the Poetic in appearance, the subtle changes make it look more premium. Just like all other cases with a "smart cover" it doubles as a stand in two positions; a more laid back typing position, and a vertical position for watching movies or playing games. It triggers the sensor on the Nexus 7 perfectly to put it to sleep when closed and wake when opened. The previous version of the case had an issue where the device would go to sleep when folding the cover all the way back, but it has been revised and no longer suffers from that issue. Lastly the case comes with a lifetime warranty from BSCstore and at $15.99 it is almost $10 cheaper than the Poetic, so there is no comparison in my opinion.

Lifetime warranty they say so it doesn't matter, if you have a problem you just get another.
It does look good, the price seems to be fine... I'm just wondering if the front glass will get scratched in time from the metal thingy on the front cover..

That was my only worry but the magnet on the case part is slightly raised so the metal tab doesn't come into contact with the glass.
Bought this for my wife for Christmas. There was still an issue with the magnet turning the screen off when it was opened all the way. Emailed the original seller about it and they said it was a defective unit that was missing the shielding. They're now sending me a replacement for her, one for me, and gave me instruction on how to remove the magnet from the old one to use as an interim case while waiting on my replacements.

Tech21 doesn't seem to get a lot of attention in this group. I'm just wondering what everyone thinks. I have an Evo Check for my phone and it is a great case. Fits well and seems like it would protect the phone. Still, I also want a folio type case, to protect the screen. Tech21 has this case: https://www.tech21.com/en_us/evo-wallet-galaxy-note8-black
Does anyone have any experience with it that would tell me whether it would be a good or bad purchase?
Their cases are too slippery and they make so few cases for the Note 8 I over look them. Quality is crap for how much they cost

Yes, they are quite expensive.

I hope this information helps. I also wanted a folio type case to protect the cover as all the screen protectors seem to be pretty lacking. I went with my wife to the T-Mobile store where she wanted to get an S8 Plus and this case that you picked out was close to what she got. Was given a drop test by the cashier using his own phone. The packaging was pretty plain and I wasn't that impressed but wanted to get in and out and we got it. After checking it out after she had it a few weeks I went ahead and ordered the one that you pasted a link for above. Honestly I recommend it. Pretty sturdy and thin but protects the phone quite nicely. has a clip clasp and obviously covers the front. Not bulky but not skimpy either... My fourth case for the note lol and this one is a keeper.. Go for it.

I use the Tech21 EVO as it fits with the Dome Glass protector I have. This is my first Tech21 case but the version I got is not slippery at all due to the back.

Looked into that. Its a nice case, but that clasp needs to be magnetic or something, I found the plastic push-in clasp to be cumbersome to open and close quickly.

My s5 it has a tech 21 case has 3 years old and it fel so many times. It is an impressive piece of engenering, just the sound it makes when it its the floor...it sounds muted like it is made from ruber.
Off course i would get a tech 21 for my note 8, choose the evo wallet because ...such a big screen ...
It is very expensive.
they are not slepery unless one has spider hands!
I wish they made a case that completly isolates the phone, and another one so that i can put the phone on my bikes like rokform does.
I am very happy with my evo!
