Video Review: Cruzerlite Androidified Case

Hey fellas,
I normally post on the Galaxy S3 accessory forums but a few of my viewers have been asking for Nexus 7 product reviews, so I've gotten some cases in and will review them. The first I received was the Cruzerlite Androidified case, which is a simple TPU case that wraps around the sides and back of the tablet. It features a distinct 'android army' imprint on the back, which has a slightly matte finish to it. It's lightweight and offers decent protection, so it is a good 'average' case. It retails for $20 and comes in a myriad of different color options.
If anyone is interested in a giveaway of these, let me know. I can get a few in from Cruzerlite is there is enough demand
Check out my full video review below for more info;

Its a nice case, Id get one in red but IDK if a tpu case is worth $20.00

Cruzerlite is giving me a few cases for giveaway, so maybe you'll get lucky

Great job on the review ! Id love one in Orange looks really nice

I have an Androidified case for my GNex, and I liked the design (and price) of that version much better than the one for the Nexus 7. But I have to say it does scratch fairly easily. I treat my gadgets very gingerly, but just being slid around on my desk at work or put in my purse during traveling (in a pocket away from my keys and other things that could damage it) it still picked up lots of little scratches.
At any rate, I don't like the "lots of tiny Andys" design as much as the "one large Andy" version, and for $20 I don't think it's worth it, considering there are other TPU cases available that are also good quality for about half the price. For $20 you can get the ASUS travel case, which isn't everyone's favorite, but it has a nice feeling finish (due to the microdots all over it) and the front flap, which to me is the better deal. If you tape a thin magnet to the front flap of the ASUS case you'll have a serviceable smartwake function, as well.
Good review, it just helped me realize that this case is not for me, and I wanted to make sure people knew about the scratching thing. It's not terrible, but it can happen and it does mar the finish of the case, at least on my GNex anyway.

imak Cases

Hey guys I recently stumbled onto a new brand of cases. The brand is called imak and the cases they look pretty nice. They currently have 3 types of cases for the nexus 7.
The first one is called the imak slim. You can eBay search it as there are multiple posts of this case. Its like the incipio feather but much cheaper. It looks pretty high quality not like other eBay cases.
Price - $13.20
The third one is the imak cowboy. Its basically the same as the imak slim but with a more rugged texture. Same as a above just type in imak cowboy to find the case on eBay.
Price - $14.30
The third one is my favorite but a little more expensive. Its called the imak luxury. It is really good looking and is made from genuine leather. It looks awesome. The problem is that there is only one posting and it is shipped using economy shipping. Which could take up to 4 weeks to come. I'm going to be ordering one of these. The quality of the case is amazing. BTW there are only 9 left so get em while you can .
Price - $22.99
Ohh and did I mention you get a free screen protector with each case.
All these cases are on eBay.

I don't know man it does not look like good quality. The texture itself is not smooth and looks very tacky. I am not sure if I would be comfortable with a brand that says iMak on my Nexus...lol. It is cheap though compared to the other high end quality cases like the Noreve. That case cost me around $70 which is ridiculous price but you get what you pay for. The biggest thing I would be worried about is that this thing is coming from china. You might as well get the Speck nexus case for $35 which is really nice and genuine. Good Luck

I'm going to go ahead an order one of the slim cases. I will report back once I receive it.

Please report back with a review or some pics of the slim case. Im also thinking about it.

I'm going to get a blue slim case and a grey cowboy case. You can get them much cheaper at this site. Will post a review of both of them once I get them.

I used imak cowboy for my S3. The quality seems quite good and I like it because it's so slim and provide good grip for S3. Will try to look for nexus 7 cover.

I think you can buy better looking better protection for the same or less money, those slim cases you link to are basically book type covers without any edge protection

Anyone tried PDair pouch?

I Can not decide what case to choose, SENA one, but it's to thin and I hate the leather pattern, or go for good ol' PDair,
they have than one http://www.pdair.com/index.php/eboo...google-nexus-7-vertical-pouch-type-black.html with multiple stitching color to chose from.
I asked them what the inner side part is made of, and they told me
"Thanks for your enquiry. ALL our Genuine PDair Leather Case is made of Premium Korea Cowhide leather and inner part is pvc. The inner part is a little hard to support the case but won’t get scratchiness on the phone."
Now PVC can also mean vinyl, maybe they mean it's hard to bend but soft to touch? anyway post your answers, still think to go with PDair as the shipping is free, SENA wat's 30$ to ship to Israel and it's ridiculously pricier, LOL not that I'm one to complain, as I ordered some acessories from EXPANSYS UK (extended battery w/cover, and desktop multimedia dock for my GNEX, but they was cheaper back then in comparison to eBay):silly:

If you want to pay $50 for a pouch you can buy for $5 then by all means do ok it's leather on the outside but it's damned thin leather. I've had a couple of PDair cases for phones and they are well enough made but vastly overpriced for what you get.
If you want to pay that kind of money for real leather, have a search of this forum. Someone posted a couple of months ago about some hand made stuff that was real quality.

Well to describe my problem, I want to use it with the dock, when it out, I will not say they overpriced, I use SGP Crumena for my Galaxy Nexus, that cost me 30$, and it worth the money, from all the crap I seen on eBay, there also MOFi soft pouches, but I only zip type, I want one like a sack with strap, and the big size sold on taobao or resellers, and I afraid to deal with them, SENA looks cheap with that ugly pattern and 30$ for shipping? the PDair exist many years so I know what I pay for, what else can you recommend?

^^ etsy.com
Thousands of quality, handmade sleeves ranging from cheap 12$ cloth ones to superb leather ones. Take a look. Just about everything there is handmade by people who do this in their homes for a living.

Thanks, very creative stuff, but I want something from a brand like the SENA or PDair, they have another one;
http://www.pdair.com/index.php/eboo...-asus-google-nexus-7-business-type-black.html
Yeah I know the price is like 2 smartphone cases, but it will be used for good, I think I even maybe sell the SGP of my GNEX to make some profit,
and get a one from PDair to make a pair, they have same case for NOTE (II), so maybe they can make me a smaller one
but keep up with the comments, I just couldn't find any reviews of the tablet cases they sell.

It's a trap

Trident Aegis cheap?

Anybody know where I can pick up a black one for cheap? Cheapest I found was $19.95. Trying to save some money. I just want it for work because my main case is going to be the UAG scout. Thanks

Why not keep UAG as the only case? It will offer both style and protection, all around the day. Also, keep in mind, no matter how great UAG is going to be (I'm waiting for Navigator as well), taking it on'n'off every single day along with an alternative case will wear it's off sooner or later. A cheaper and more flexible TPU case will have a greater longevity, but obviously less protection. I'm just guessing UAG will be more rigid and after constant on and off might form cracks.
Regarding Trident, $19 is probably the best you can get until Note 3 is released, unless if they are slow sellers and have special one-day promo deal.
Since you are saying you trying to save money, I would just stick to one case

True about the taking it on and off part. I mainly want it because its ridged and has dust covers. I had the commuter but I didnt like it. The Aegis seems like a decent case. So I guess $19 is pretty cheap but I wanted to push it . I will keep in mind your suggestion. I hope to get my UAG next week. It would be a great birthday present to myself

Quit buying overpriced cases - check this out

Firstly I don't work for this company nor am I being endorsee, check out my profile. Just sharing this case.
So I've previously used Spigen and other brand cases. Honestly, the quality is decent but way overpriced.
After I received my OP3 I preordered a Tudia case on Amazon. I swear by this case man. It's like the same quality as the Spigen case in the same class, light, effective, and protects well. You have no idea how many times I've dropped my phone at the gym and nothing is slightly wrong with it.
Thought you guys might be interested in seeing my simple thoughts of this case.

Same quality, less than half the price...

"same quality as Spigen"
Buy Elephone, same quality as Apple. Enough said.

I have one of these from Amazon. Compared to the Pleson/LK condom cases and Ringke ones I have...too bulky

If you want more bang for your buck, you have to buy chinese brand case (all case are made in china anyway). And it make more sense for a chinese brand like Oneplus.
Nillkin and Imak are quite good for 5-10$ price range.
