[Case][Photo Review] Poetic Slimline Black leather Smart (iPad style) - Nexus 10 Accessories

Hi guys.
Case is around $18 dollars on Ebay or Amazon. Other colors available.
I like that:
It doesn't cover the bezel.
Looks nice when closed.
Price
Smart wake up/sleep is flawless
I don't like:
The magnets color (to secure lid when closed, see Pic #8 & #9)
Buttons are difficult to press.
Quality is not as good as high end Chinese cases(Like Nillkin, see *A*)

*A* Here is a Review of a Nillkin tablet case, there isn't one for the N10.
Would I buy it again? Yes; But only because there isn't a high end version right now.

I've got the Poetic Slimline also. Except it looks a little better with the Android on it

where did you get the sticker?

I find this to be an OK case, mostly due to a lack of options. The buttons art hard to access with this case. Even though it has an iPad like trifold deign, it doesn't seem to stand up real well. The nexus seems to not like being used in the upside down landscape position either. It always re- orients itself, and I have to pick it up to get it to go back.

good points.
I got tired of trying to find the buttons so I just cut the part that covered the buttons (the bridge).
yep the nexus and the launcher think that they are up side down, so i am trying to use the case upside down, but sometimes it falls.
still waiting for the Nillkin to be released

Good value leather-effect case (UK)

Got one of these recently and it's really nice for the price. Fits well and seems well made. Magnetic clasp and cutouts for the cameras etc. Currently £13.95 at mobilefun.co.uk.

I nearly bought one of these myself Paul but instead went for the Samsung Executive Case....... and I'm not happy with it.
Like the case you kindly mention I don't like the leather surrounding the glass surface. Much prefer the case where you 'click' the Tab into place rather than slide it in.
Any idea's which would be a good case?
I've only used the one above and (for a short while) the official Samsung case. Not the executive one though. It was the sleeve variant. I really didn't like it. Very hard to get the device in and out of as it was so tight. I'm happy with the one I got, though may try a TPU style cover at some point.

Yes I have the same issue with the Samsung Executive case, it's a right pain inserting and taking out of the case.
That looks very like the red one I recently got
http://www.londonmagicstore.co.uk/L...llet+Leather+Case+for+Samsung+Galaxy+Tab.html
Good case, but it does have tendency to let the tab slip out of the top if held upside down (while taking out of a bag, for example)

Hi Jon (hey we're neighbours ). That does look very like mine, apart from the colour. I've not had the problem with it slipping, it's a snug fit. Unlike the official case, which was a strangulated fit .
I see we also share the same taste in where you purchased it too.
I obtained my Samsung Executive case from LondonMagicStore.
Excellent service from them, have purchased quite a few items in the past and have their Black Gel Case Cover Stand on order as well.

Infinity Poetic slim case or similar fits perfect with some adjustments!!

I thought that I would share this discovery! Like many of you that previously purchased a slim case for your Transformer Prime/Infinity tablet and now finding yourself with a totally different tablet (Nexus 10). The case you bought is now incompatible. What are you to do? Cough up more cash for a new case to fit your N10? Sure but you don't have to. Here is what you can do with no tools other then your own hands to make your incompatible Poetic slim case or something similar to fit your new N10!
* I discovered that the the four corners that hold the tablet in place and the two inner place holders are actually bendable! You can force these holders to bend and flex to fit your N10 snuggly. That's it! Saved you the need to buy another case
(Don't be afraid to force it when your bending it to shape. It will take some pressure.)
See photos below...
(These photos were after bending them all to shape. Sorry didn't think to shoot the before pictures:/)

*If you want to install a sleep/ wake feature for when you close the lid. All you need is a magnet like the ones on your refrigerator, like I did with mine and just cut it to fit the magnet snug like what I did below. The magnet I used had a soft foamy material that worked out nicely.
I no longer need to buy a case now that the one I had for the Infinity fits just fine for my new N10! Hopefully this helps you!

Good for you bud. Looks awesome.
And good to know that many cases fit the Nexus 10.

Thanks. Yeah just a little adjustment here and there Normally the case would be too big but since I was able to bend it, it all worked out.

Juppa case

This one seems to offer good protection, a hard shell inside a book style casing. No mention of a magnet.

"5.0 out of 5 stars Fits well and good value 28 Dec 2012
By Brent46
Colour Name:Black|Amazon Verified Purchase
Arrived early an looked very nice. Applied screen proector (always difficult on big Screens) one of the better protectors I have used, Fitted Nexus very well and all charging an buttons accesible. Turns device on an off as you open and close. Very happy with for £5 I paid"
Bit annoying that he only paid £5 for it when they're now £12 but even at that it's not a bad price.
It just seems like another of a million already available cases. All these dealextreme/ebay cases all look the same to me, and a case is a case, they're all plastic, and they will prevent scratching the screen, that's about it.
I've fallen for this one

Nillkin case
Not the cheapest, but it seems a good finish, tight and clean all around

Does this mean you already have that case? If so, what do you think of the pleather quality wise?

I posted the original link because I saw a case that took two properties of common cases that are not found together anywhere else, the book style cover enclosing the hard plastic shell. It's too bulky for my use but that doesn't mean it's not going to appeal to someone else, it deserved a link for that reason.

INVENTCASE® CASE for ZTC

I just got a case/cover for my ZTC. As the title suggested, this is from INVENTCASE. Let's take a look at this.
I got mine from eBay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/361112178753?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&var=630453642867&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
This is a synthetic leather, not a genuine (according to them). The material feels nice.

This thing came with a magnet so it is a smart cover.. in a way. It will turn the screen on once you flip it open.
You got a cut out for the speaker at the bottom.
and top.
Cut out for Power/Volume buttons.
and for USB port.
Stand position.
One BIG cons for this cover is that the fitting is kinda loose so the cut out hole for camera won't align.
You can push it a little to make them align but it will slide back to the original position.
This will cause vignetting when you use a camera.
If you adjust your tablet the vignette will reduce but not goes away. Hugh downside for me.
So.. what's your opinion? For me I like this one especially the color. The camera problem, however, keep me looking for another case. Until I found the perfect one for me, this will stay on my tablet.
Thank yo ufor the photos and review. I personally do not opt for any case with bezels around, THat's like 10 years old design...
Yep, I personally don't like that either but I used to use the cheapo case with the mounting like the official Sony cover and it scratch my iPad.
So when I browse for the cover with some new color (I don't like the sony cover color choices) on ebay there are only some Chinese cheapo. I try to stay away from that.

Cheap design but thanks for the review. You should review the official Sony cover. http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/style-cover-stand-scr28/

iPads are just very easy to scratch because of material used, while I don't beleive that the Z3TC can be scratched that easily. Moreover, good cases have the soft materials inside the case.

Poetic Premium Hybrid Protective Clear Bumper Cover

Got this one, looks really nice on the phone, used Spigen before, but this case is much better protection for OnePlus 7T. Feels very grippy in a hand too. Check it on Amazon, can't add a picture but added it on Amazon.

I have this. Doesnt work well with gestures because the front lip extends so much. Protection wise, its top notch. No complains about protection.
If you guys dont use gestures, u should be fine.

Nope, maybe it's fingers size or the way you swipe... donno. Nevertheless, it's a great case and I love it.
Just got mine a few hours ago. I don't use gestures so that's no big deal, but I like it. The only thing that's kind of annoying is adjusting the mechanical switch to control silent, vibrate etc. It's kind of buried, but I'll get used to it. This is the first two piece case I've had and it seems pretty solid. Much easier to type with my huge hands. Not hitting things with my palm any longer.
I literally just got mines today. I wouldn't call it a grippy case but it definitely has a good amount of protection.
The downside is that it's a little more bulky than it's like and the raised lip around the edges hinders gesture performance.

Looks pretty nice in blue.
