Very nice !
A couple of thoughts:
* buy a cheap silicon skin to protect the back and edges of the plastic body: this would require you to increase the size of your alloy brackets, but the rubbery grip would make the Tab much more secure in the stand cradle.
* get rid of this awful useless screen protector (Gorilla glass is tough enough, and the silicon skin would prevent the alloy brackets to touch the display anyway)
Keep up the good work, and let us know about your incremental improvements / design revisions !

Next step: adjustable design

I got one of these at office max. Works both landscape and portrait.

And the picture frame easel mentioned above works well for travel.
But what you made has some sweet style.

I really like this stand. I have one of those leather cases with a built-in stand, but id like something like this as well. Or a more portable, possibly folding version of the mesh card holder. Looks great so far though!

here's mine,using a plastic SGT back cover, an old book end, and some good old Velcro tape! Took about $5 and 5 minutes to put together.

Man, I bet if i made one like this it would break when watching something and break the tab

Might want to think about doing a patent on your idea....looks great though

Velcro is pretty strong (read an article before where they wanted to use it in place of blots for building lightelweiht planes) ,you might even have trouble prying it off the stand! been using it everyday and the tab has never fallen off. if I feel like the Velcro is loosing grip, I can just replace it for $1.

[REVIEW][i9023] Nilkin Hard White Case : Cleaned up the pictures!

So, my Nilkin case arrived in the mail on friday. Took 2 weeks.
The Gallery of images can be viewed here for a better look and experience. HERE
So here's the package.
Link1
Comes with a screen protector ( Not gonna change my screen protector yet )
Link2
And here are some pictures of the case being naked. (without the phone)
Link3
Link4
Link5
Link6
Link7
Link8
Link9
Now for pics with my phone with the case
Link10
Link11
Link12
Link13
Link14
Link15
Conclusion:
Overall a very good case. Actually makes the phone look very good. Especially the back where the phone looks slick. The fact that the bottom and top are protected halfway scares me, however i can take care of the phone well so it depends on you.
The case feels quite slippery when you hold it up, so you have to grip it tightly.
Looks good on the sides and all round. Generally a very nice case to have.
I love it.
I hope this review helps you to decide and if you liked this review PLEASE HIT THE THANKS BUTTON
Thanks for reading!

Could you please resize the images? they are a way to big

Update 1: Cleaned up all the pictures, just click the links to view them

Looking good! I've been thinking of getting a case for my naked NS4G. I've dropped it waay too many times to not seriously start considering getting one.

If you keep dropping your phone you definitely need a cover. I dont think this is available for NS4G though. You'll have to look for a similar one.

Nice photos! I have checked with Nillkin that they have run out of the original smooth cover and replaced by the one with tactile texture.

I think it's cheaper on eBay, but CASESSS.com offers faster shipping options and free to Singapore as well.

Handmade padded pouch/sleeve

Found a simple padded zip pouch. I'm still gonna get the official ASUS smart cover as well, but wanted a travel pouch to throw on the passenger seat and to put in my messenger bag. Also glad my money is going to an actual person and not some crap Belkin company that over charges for garbage.

Looks great! Thanks I think I'm going to order one!

Just ordered! Case looks really nice is exactly what I'm looking for. I like the feel of the tablet alone and not some clunky trifecta-folding-triangle that you can put your pens and credit cards in. This + a screen protector = all you should need!
Thanks for link!!

Looks like the perfect case to hold you over until you find something you want.

The Snupped ones seem pretty cool, but I'm not sure about having to ship it over from Singapore. The first Etsy post was not bad either. I'm wondering if groups like Byrd & Bell (wool + leather) will start making them for the Nexus 7, but they do have one for the Kindle Fire (which would probably fit). The only thing is that it's pretty expensive for a sleeve ($48).

Cheap Case Review (Lots of pics!)

Hey everyone, I'm back with another review with lots of pictures again. Some of the pictures were taken with my Galaxy Note 2, and even though they are some fantastic pictures, I took out another camera to take pictures with the case on the phone.
To be honest, this is a case that I thought I wouldn't recommend to anyone because it was a cheapo case and it feels CHEAP! I mean, REALLY cheap! But once it's on the phone, it actually feels really good in hand and then it gives it a textured back that will for sure not let you drop it as easily!
Enough of my blabbing.
This is how it came:

}
You can find this case in a ton of different colors.
The buttons don't feel like they're going to click, but they're actually really clicky once it's on the case. It isn't as good as the original case that I reviewed last week, but for the price, it's good and you can feel the raised buttons.
Port holes are HUGE! I mean, every place there is an opening, this case makes it a lot bigger than it really needs to be! Check these pictures out.
Compare the hole for the speaker, or the pen silo!
And the camera hole
There is a higher lip on the case, so you can put it face down on the table and the screen won't touch the table.
I actually bought this case a week before I got my Note 2, and it just got here a few days ago. Ironic that I ordered it to have a case right away and it is the 4th case I got in the mail. Lol. I like the case, but it honestly doesn't compare to the Original case that I reviewed. It does have some good points and some bad ones. I like the texture, but it has massive port holes. I don't like how it makes my phone look though, but you can judge that for yourself. I'm going to stick to the original case. But it's not bad at all for the price that it is on eBay!
Would I recommend it? Yeah.
Are there better cases? For sure.
Better cases for the price? Probably not.
Hit thanks if this review has helped you or you just like the pics Or if you'd like me to continue reviewing cases I buy .

Does 'Add to Cart' button work for you on that site?
Edit: Never mind, it works in Chrome. Doesn't work in Firefox for me. Strange.
This looks like a awesome site if it's genuine.

I've ordered from here before. Shipping takes forever unless you pay for faster shipping but it's legit and I got about 10 cases for my original note from there. They were only 86 cents! One of the best sites I've come across. The only problem I've run into is the pictures don't exactly represent the exact item. Like I ordered a case and the picture showed it transparent but it was really solid blue.

DYI case: best of both worlds?

Hi all
Not happy with any of the Nexus 7 cases I had tried so far I decided to do some tinkering.
/* WHAT YOU NEED */
a) a cheap smart-cover case with good functionality. I really like the following one but thought it didn't protect the Nexus 7 edges enough.

}
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310450570970?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
b) a good TPU/silicone case that offers all-round protection (apart from the screen). I first tried a cheaper one but it was quite loose.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150896669042?var=450114078159&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
c) some thin double-sided tape.
/* TINKERING */
1) remove the "insert" from the smart-cover case (attachment 1 and 2). I used a Stanley knife and some gentle brute-force. :silly:
2) place double-sided tape where the insert was (attachement 3).
3) stick the TPU case inside the smart-cover one (other attachements).
4) done! :laugh:

this is great. I wish a company would create something like this professionally. I too like the corner protection of the tpu. the TPU material obsorbs the impact when the tablet hits the ground. I have tpu cases on my other devices and they have been saved by the tpu case. But the tpu case doesn't offer much of screen protection outside of you buying a screen protector. The smart case idea is perfect. It protects the screen and double protects the back. you can use it to hold up your tablet. I really like what you did.
I did something like this for my acer a500 and might do this for the N7 as well.
thanks for sharing.

You're very welcome, and thanks for the positive feedback.

Great idea. I always thought that the protection for those that have the flap was pretty bad too but I never thought of combining to together. Now...to find one that looks good to use.

I never thought to do this. I have a tpu skin on mine now and ordered a smart cover case to use. But the poetic slimline case ... I wonder if no can just detach the smart cover part off that and super glue it to the tpu skin .... Hmmmmm

Cool idea, particularly because I'd thought of doing this too
My other idea is to use a similar TPI or hardback case stuck to a car mount to create a smart looking in-car solution rather than using one of those universal adjustable types.
